  • 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 is the pillar and foundation of truth?

    Because you and they say so? I don't see it. You can't biblically restrict Christ's church to one group when the Bible indicates that to be saved is to be in Christ's church.

    All Jews go to hell?

    Most Jews reject Christ as the Messiah. They can't do this and go to heaven as Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no man comes to the Father but by Him. Without Christ, they are lost. Praise God for the Jews who have come to accept Christ.

    What % of the bible is inspired?

    God used Christian men, including their various personalites and such which come through and it's still 100 % inspired. If it's not all God's word, how do you pick which part is or isn't. I don't believe God gave us a partially inspired Bible.

    I think this verse proves that you can be saved without works

    Where does it say that in the text? I certainly don't see it. Christ's blood cleanses us from all sin and makes us white, pure, and clean for heaven. This passsage isn't about a purgatory, it's being read into it imho.

    Works Are Required For Salvation.

    Not me.

    Works Are Required For Salvation.

    Obviously, this is one of many subjects that we aren't going to agree on. The Bible clearly states salvation is not of works. I don't know how it could be any clearer, so that's what I believe People get mixed up and think it's the works that saved when it's the faith that produces the works.

    Works Are Required For Salvation.

    Another thing James says is what profits a man if he SAYS he has faith indicating a person can claim to have faith without really having it. Really having it will produce the works. I don't believe James is teachings salvation by works at all, otherwise he's contradicting the rest of Scripture...

    CARM founder/Catholic apologist debate

    Whether or not it's the largest Christian group in the world remains to be seen in my opinion. I don't think it is but that's my opinion which I think opinions should be allowed.

    Works Are Required For Salvation.

    Scripture can't contradict itself and it says we aren't saved by works in very plain language. If you want to believe we are, fine.

    Works Are Required For Salvation.

    Works are the outward indication that salvation has occured. It doesn't mean that we're saved by them otherwise the Bible contradicts itself. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states we're not saved by works. James, I think, is looking on things from man's perspective. No one will know we have faith...

    CARM founder/Catholic apologist debate

    Why would you expect there to be a Catholic mod? It's not an ecumenical board and the CARM website clearly considers Roman Catholicism to be in error. Of course, you're going to believe they have an "axe to grind" since you're Catholic. If someone searches for truth and examines a religion's...

    Focus On The Family, Etc.

    I respect your right to believe as you will though I cannot agree that she did the right thing. Have a nice day.

    Focus On The Family, Etc.

    Mother Theresa did just as I said. She may have been comforting the dying but then what? They go into an eternity without Christ because she didn't tell them the truth. I'm sorry, but I hardly call that good. If she was a Christ led lady, as you say, she wouldn't have been able to let those...

    What is the pillar and foundation of truth?

    Christ's church is the pillar and ground of truth but we disagree as to what that is, don't we. And what the verse means. What it isn't saying is that the church (all Christians) is the truth. The church is to uphold the truth and be grounded in it. What's the truth? Christ and the word of God...
