  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Mode of baptism

    JM, Dumb, by no means. I myself use to be a Baptist too. The problem is connecting the dots in the proper order. This can be the result of the lack of proper exegesis, stubbornness, etc. No one interprets Scripture in a vacuum (tabula rasa -blank slate). We all put glasses on of some kind -...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    Christ died sufficiently for all, but efficiently ONLY for the elect (SFA) is not the same as universalism, which could be stated as sufficient and efficient for all (i.e. even reprobates like Judas are saved, et. al.). SFA is error, but better than universalism. While they still affirm...

    Mode of baptism

    1 Corinthians 1:12 says, "What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."" Those baptized in the wilderness were following Moses (1 Cor. 10:1-2). So, Paul's argument in 1 Cor. 10 does not begin in 1...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    Pierre Du Moulin's, La philosophie françoise de Pierre Du Moulin. Elements de logique, 1621, would flesh out some of his findings. However, it is in French (I have not looked for an English copy) - http://www.prdl.org/author_view.php?a_id=253&type=Philosophy Muller though uses him extensively...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    Pierre du Moulin writes of some major differences between Amyraldianism and Covenant Calvinism in the areas of: (1) it changes the very nature of God, (2) the Law and of the Gospel, (3) it makes God changeable and hesitant in his decisions and incapable of bringing his plans effectually to pass...

    The Adulteress

    As far as some audios covering some of the material of which you inquire, I would suggest Bruce Waltke. Lecture series on - Lesson in Proverbs: http://media.thirdmill.org/mp3-16/Waltke_Tape2a.mp3 http://media.thirdmill.org/mp3-16/Waltke_Tape3.mp3...

    Is it really dependent on my faith?

    Hedrick is correct. We get several questions a week regarding this issue. The mere fact that you are asking the question though indicates that you probably do have faith (that is if by the phrase "because the majority of the time, I don't believe" you mean that you sin more than you think you...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    Iosias, I hope and pray God gives you repentance unto the acknowledging of the truth (2 Tim. 2:24-26), otherwise, your heresies are ever before you. Read carefully Iosias. While I thank you for providing the fuller quote, no where do either Trueman, Muller, Turrentin, or Owen say that...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    Amyraldianism is Modified-Calvinism - not pure Calvinism. It is non-Reformed. If pure Calvinism is compared to H2O - living water - then Amyraldianism is H2 - without the living component of "oxygen" - a non-living water - one that leads to death; not life. Amyraldianism is an false doctrine...

    Pro-Life or pro-choice

    Society's so-called legal abortions (murder) or back-street abortions (murder) is sin either way. Either way it is exalting the word of man over the word of God (cf. Isa 8:20; Acts 4:19; 5:29). "You shall not murder" (Exod. 20:13). "For out of the heart come evil thoughts--murder, adultery...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    Why didn't you quote Murray in context? Why didn't you quote the sentence immediately before the one you selected? :scratch: Thus, Murray was speaking of "Common Grace" not "Saving Grace." :idea: You can attempt to take one element from the WCF from its fuller context to make a point, but...

    Are Reformed theology and Universalism compatable?

    What matters is what something "is", not what it "calls" itself. Just because a "dog" has 4 legs and a head, does not mean it should call itself a "frog." They may have some similarities, but a frog is still a frog and a dog is still a dog. Just because a person (or even a denomination, etc.)...

    Richard Foster

    Since, I quoted Foster himself and even quoted a Quaker article to reveal some of the doctrines being subscribed to I do not see how that is misreading. Perhaps you would like to reveal to us how both the article and Foster's words themselves are in full agreement with Reformed Theology? Though...

    Richard Foster

    Quakerism and Refomed Theology do not mix well. Among others, Quakers reject biblical doctrines such as: (1) total depravity instead claiming that all men have “a spark of divinity” in them and mankind is neutral toward good and evil, (2) Calvinism's teaching of limited atonement...

    Richard Foster

    If you enjoy Neo-Gnosticism, Emergent Church type literature that confuses works and grace, and justification and sanctification. Foster is a Quaker, or a member of The Religious Society of Friends. He believes in Quaker pietistic mysticism which is not Reformed Theology! (not sure why you are...
