  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    What Jesus Said About Adam and Eve

    When the bible says that from the beginning God made them male and female, there is no indication that it is talking about the Planck time instant of the beginning of the first day of creation. What would it even mean to say that God made them male and female five days before there was any...

    What Jesus Said About Adam and Eve

    Sorry, but where do you find in Genesis that God made them male and female at the beginning on day one? The description of What God did on Day One is: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] on the face of the deep. And...

    God requires sinless perfection to enter His kingdom

    I agree, It's noticeable that Paul didn't rely on his own righteousness: “and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;” (Php 3:9 NKJV)

    John 15:6 if we don't abide in Jesus we will be cut off

    Praise God that it is not a condition for salvation, because nobody could keep such a command perfectly. However, once a sinner is saved, surely it should be their aim to live closer and closer to the way God would have them be, that is, sanctification.

    What do Protestants today think about the Puritans?

    I agree that not all Protestants think the same about the Puritans. That being so, how can you believe that all of them are right?

    How Long have Humans Lived on Earth?

    Thanks. Yes, I do believe that everyone is descended from Adam and Eve. However, I don't believe that every descendant of Adam and Eve will be redeemed, but only those (whether Jews ore Gentiles) who by God's grace believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    How Long have Humans Lived on Earth?

    Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood your words: "and His sacrifice brought redemption not only to Adam and Eve but to all of their descendants, including the Gentiles who lived after His sacrifice."

    How Long have Humans Lived on Earth?

    I fully agree that God's actions are exact, intentional, and perfectly timed. He doesn't always reveal His exact timings to us. What I am asking you is where in the bible to you find such things as an exact date for the fall of Adam and Eve into sin, or even an exact date for the crucifixion...

    Calvinism of today versus puritanical Calvinism

    Assuming you are speaking of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892), he certainly was not American. He was British, born in Kelvedon, Essex, England to English parents.

    How Long have Humans Lived on Earth?

    Sorry but how do you know that the crucifixion of Jesus happened exactly four thousand years after the fall of Adam and Eve into sin? Also, according to His own words, it is those who believe in Him who are saved, redeemed and have everlasting life: ““For God so loved the world that He gave...

    Another look at the moon landing.

    Maybe I misunderstood one of your posts, which certainly seemed to be suggesting that you were accusing people of worshipping the moon, when you wrote: "The Bible states when people were worshiping the creation instead of God they exchanged the truth for a lie. Why would that not apply here...

    Another look at the moon landing.

    I didn't think we were discussing worship of the moon, which I agree is completely wrong. I also agree with you that God created the moon.

    If theistic evolution, how can God save a raven?

    Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry if my post was not clear.

    Another look at the moon landing.

    I would say "mistaken" rather than lying. To those people who say that the moon was not created by God (whether they have any connection to NASA), that is what the believe about the moon's origin. Being mistaken isn't the same thing as telling lies. As to it being a weak stance, I disagree...

    God requires sinless perfection to enter His kingdom

    But Jesus wasn't saying that the man and his parents were sinlessly perfect. The context us that He was answering a question from the disciples: “And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”” (Joh 9:2 NKJV) They seemed to imagine...
