  • 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

    At this point, please direct your attention to 2 Timothy 3:5. That verse speaks of a power of godliness and for at least Timothy to avoid ungodly people who have merely a form without the power. What is this power? How is it manifested? And how does it relate to being righteous to the degree...

    I am going to take a break from commenting on this thread. I will watch to see (Lord willing) if someone can find any verse/passage in the Bible that teaches that someone can't quit sinning by the power of God. Considering... Matthew 6:9-13 John 14:13 And then the many times the Bible...

    At this point I want to stress that I am grateful to God for each of you who are commenting. I started this thread to help us think through what the text is really communicating for the Glory of God hoping that He would be pleased to by His power in the Spirit to enlighten us all for the...

    Savior from hell instead of a savior from sin. That resonates with the distinction I am making, for sure. It is also possible that the idea of regeneration can be understood in two senses. One immediate at justification and one continual during sanctification. That would clear up some issues as...

    Scriptural Christianity

    If we can reach a state in this life where we avoid all sin, then what is left to complete on that day? In a word, "glorification". What is the purpose of being trained by grace to renounce doing what is ungodly if we are already avoiding all sin when we became born again? You still have to...

    Scriptural Christianity

    There's all kinds of belief across the spectrum. And it is all real in a sense (true belief). One could believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God in the sense that demons do and not be a disciple. One could even to an extent trust Jesus Christ but only so far and be a disciple (one in...

    Matthew 18 doesn't even have the phrase born-again. So, we will have to depend on 1 John 5:18.

    Salvation is a multi-step process. It would seem a believer isn't freed from the possibility of sin until they are regenerated according to 1 John 5:18.

    Those verses and many more highly suggest that!

    Isn't it actually the way to avoid all sin is to be born again? 1 John 3:9 1 John 5:18

    Scriptural Christianity

    There is nothing presented here that would even begin to seem to contradict 1 John 5:18. All you have demonstrated is that a true-believer might still sin. I do NOT disagree. They don't have to sin on any given occasion where temptation might present itself, however. In order to have anything...

    David, I will read it closer, tomorrow evening, Lord willing. But at first glance I see nothing presented in your last post that presupposes that mature believers (i.e. those born-again) will sin. So, nothing to cast doubt on the plain meaning of 1 John 5:18. I think the context simply...

    Obedience to God

    Believe in the power of God to overcome sin by really studying the Bible and putting into practice what you learn getting rid of everything in your life that distracts from this goal. There is a lot of false-teaching out there and it is likely you have been taught wrong by those around you in...

    To God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God for Destroying the Works of the Devil!

    1 John 3:8 Thank-you God that as a result those chastened overcome sin by the power of God because... Hebrews 7:25 Knowing that by faith those in Christ will produce such good works that the following verses will be fulfilled in those who trust and obey. James 2:24 Matthew 7:21 Luke 13:24...
