  • 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? If I don't feel the leading of the Holy Spirit that means you're not saved.... right? Thats what the Bibly says.

    Difference Believing and Knowing

    Yes. I don't even feel a leading of the Holy Spirit, unless that is that of a conscience.... which I have had since I was born. If that's the case then the Bible has lost all purpose.

    I can feel and experience and see the creation of God. Not Jesus - or I should say... creation speaks to the existence of God... it does not speak of God paying for my evilness. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should...

    I'd like to believe God would be more direct than that and especially not require a 5 minute physical baptism ritual to determine the route of eternity.

    Difference Believing and Knowing

    Ummmmm.... perhaps I should go verse by verse here. Considering the context of Titus 3:5 (since you believe I did not) it speaks of our sinfulness in Titus 3:3, then in 3:4 speaks of the love of God revealed, then in 3:5 not by our works we are saved but he SAVED US THROUGH the renewing of the...

    Difference Believing and Knowing

    This fogginess of a process is what makes people like me confused. It is obvious God exists. Which God? is the question. To me it seems as if the God of the Bible fits history the best therefore He is most likely the God who exists. So... so far I believe in the God of the Old Testament. I...

    I expect to see an INSTANT and life long lasting feeling of salvation and security. That has been described by MANY MANY people who say they are believers. It is also notated in the Bible. So yes, if I don't experience this than yes I discount any sort of sense of me being saved as garbage.

    What method do you use to determine the difference between an emotional/mental feeling verse a real spiritual feeling? Its easy to mistake what you think is God talking to you verse a emotional imaginary voice is it not?

    Then whats all this talk about "He will give you the strength" "you cant do this on your own" "saved by belief not by works"... "ye must be born again".... Thats all I hear yet you seemed to have done all this on your own out of your own free will, all while still remaining the same person (you...

    Difference Believing and Knowing

    I think I have been confused by hearing people say all my life "I know Jesus!"... I know God but have never had some sort of revelation that I am talking to Jesus. God in my point of view is the unexplainable being that created this and me. Sometimes rarely, I get feelings of a profound...
