  • 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

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    Here are the works that I believe we must do to remain saved. 1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is...

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    We need to keep believing in Jesus. Both commandments we are to keep are given in 1Joun 3:21-24. Since everyone misquotes the second I will quote both commandments as they are found in the gospel of John to let everyone read how Jesus told them to John John 15:5 "I am the vine, you...

    Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. NKJV Above is our OT removal of sins. If we depend on the OT rules for salvation the blood of bulls and goats, is our purification, The only reason God accepted their blood is because those offering them...

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    In your post #45 the part of my post that you were replying to was where I said if we keep the 2 commandments in verse 23, we abide in Jesus. I had cited 1John 3: 22-23 which I will quote again for clarity. 1 John 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments...

    You say that only Paul wrote to the body of Christ therefore we are the body and not the Jewish believers, Colossians 1:24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, NKJV Paul said...

    Romans 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall...

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    The church is only required to teach and tell the world of salvation by being redeemed by Jesus. Every time I have heard a teaching about the white throne judgment is that no one is saved from the white throne judgment. The teaching that I have heard about the Matthew 25 judgment is Jesus judges...

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    Everyone can take advantage of one or the other, although only the elect will succeed in believing in Jesus. The church does not teach both offers. The only one they tell people about is believe in Jesus to be saved.

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    I obeyed God's rule to be blessed by Him with eternal life. John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more...

    SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SAVED ??

    This post asks “So how do you know you are saved??” John 3:15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. NKJV I know that I...

    Does God give every believer grace and mercy?

    While the scriptures you cite say God shows, displays or gives compassion or mercy to the entire creation, I have others that directly contradict God giving everyone mercy. Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. NASU Jesus said that the merciful shall receive...

    Does God give every believer grace and mercy?

    In the NASU the verse Romans 11: 32 states that he might show mercy to all. He shows mercy to the world through the people He gives mercy to. Your version the KJV states that He "might" have mercy. Might have and does have are not the same. In Romans 9:14 it definitely states He will have mercy...
