  • 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

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    According to rom ch7(which is what your thread concerns). Sin, through the commandment, thou shalt not covet, aroused all manner of concupiscence in saul and made him exceeding sinful. I am trying to help you understand this

    It is a fact, rom 7:5 states: The sinfiull passions aroused by the law It is a fact that sin took occasion by the commandment to arouse all manner of concupiscence in saul: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment...

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    You are still finding it hard to accept, or understand the core point made in rom ch7. Sin took occasion of the commandment to make saul the Pharisee exceeding sinfull. The TC were the ministration of death and condemnation for no one could faultlessly obey them. That is why they were: The...

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    You specifically told me you would be happy to discuss the subject of this thread with me, and rom7:6 has seldom been quoted to you as much as I have quoted it. Lets leave it to the unbiased observer to decide which of us is more likely to have the authentic view

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    Paul stated the law engraved in stone was the ministration of death. This can only be true if it was the law of sin and death, because without sin, it could not be the ministration of death. Paul also stated through the commandment: Thou shalt not covet, death/condemnation came to him...

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    As I am the one who has much quoted rom7:6 to you, and you continually told me I was then putting my own words over and above God's word, I will leave it to the unbiased observer to consider who you were referring to. You obviously know, I am not going to spend time endlessly correcting all the...

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    Then please explain, according to what Paul wrote, why it is wrong to say the TC are the letter that kills, the ministry of death and condemnation for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone(TC), came with...

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    A man stumbles into a church service one night in a desperate state. The years of drunken revelry, sleeping with woman after woman and constantly seeking to gratify the flesh have caught up with him. He is broken, alone and in despair. He would never have thought of entering a church, believing...

    If I asked a professional poker player to have a game of poker with me for a ten pence stake, he might oblige, but there wouldn’t be any excitement in the game for him, would there? The stake is too small. If the following week he was playing a game in Las Vegas and there was a million dollars...

    ROMANS 7-8 GOD'S LAW ABOLISHED? OR IS IT SIN?

    You keep missing the key ingredient from rom ch7. Sin bound saul through what was holy, just and good/the law with its power to condemn. Through that system Saul, became exceeding sinfull. Romans ch7 is all about: Thou shalt not covet, from verse 7 onwards. It is all about the law concerning the...

    Is sin really the transgression of the law?

    BTW As you must believe the first century church gave gentile converts a licence to sin by not asking them to avoid the Levitical unclean foods(a ridiculous notion) I think that shows your idea of what is and what is not applicable law as written down is, to put it mildly, totally unreliable
