  • 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

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    None of the things you posted above are relevant. They have all been proven false by the early church's own writings. It is a Scriptural fact that not all of Jesus' commands were written down. Some were taught directly to the apostles. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    I will continue to rely on Jesus' own plain-speaking and Paul's preaching instead of your interpretation of the Scriptures. Titus 3:4-5 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    I read your framework. Thank you for presenting it. :) I will rely on Jesus' own words. The water baptism that Jesus commanded is what saves us and gives us the Holy Spirit of Grace to dwell with us, thereby making us his disciples. John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    It does not say that Paul went into the synagogues on Saturdays to worship. It says that he went into the synagogue on the Jewish Sabbath day to persuade the practicing Jews and the devout Gentile converts to Judaism to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah because he had fulfilled their...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    The Judaizers are the Christians who want other Christians to keep the Law of Moses' sabbaths. Judaizer Judaizer refers to a person who adheres to or promotes the observance of Jewish religious laws, customs, and traditions—particularly the Mosaic Law—especially in the context of early...

    Also, eternal life is given to only those who love him, and they are the people who obey his commandments until they die. James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    In Acts 15:9, it is the Gentiles' hearts that have been purified. It does not state that all their sins were washed away from their souls. Peter commanded that the Gentiles in Acts 10 be baptized as Jesus commanded. This was so that their souls would be purified of Adam's sin and all of their...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    I already explained this at least twice! It doesn't matter which of the two baptisms it was in Acts 10. This was not the usual order of baptisms for Christians then, it is not now, and it is not what was commanded by Jesus. The Acts 10 baptisms were done out of order because of God's...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    The vision did make the claim that all unclean foods were now clean under the new covenant. Peter surmised from this vision that now the previously unclean believing Gentiles, such as Cornelius, were as worthy as the believing Jews to be baptized into the Christian faith. Acts 10:44-48 While...

    Adventists at the Crossroads of Legalism and Righteousness by Faith

    Unfortunately, men who were unacceptable to God due to their sexual deviancy, were consecrated as priests, during the early 60s and these contributed to the downfall of the Latin branch of the church. I do agree that popes still rejected modernism and wrote wonderful documents in the 60s. I...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    It is the royal law. James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 1 John 3:10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s...

    Leviticus 24:19-22 If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him— 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. 21 And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever...

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    They led double lives. They publicly acted as Christians should, but privately, they did not. They did not repent of their hidden sins before they died. Ezekiel 33:12-20 Romans 11:22 See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God’s kindness to you, provided...

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    You have to do the gospel to be approved to enter heaven after uou die, James 1:22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. Faith plus good works is what approves a person worthy of eternal life. Jesus saves us and forgives all of our sins on our souls if we repent of...
