  • 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

    Eternal Justification !

    From my post 147 In the eternal purpose of God (prior to creation) - The union between the second Person of the Triune God (who possesses life in and of Himself) and the elect children of God (who do not posses life in and of themselves) but who receive their life and existence from God - it is...

    Eternal Justification !

    My initial response to your Point #1 ... being my post 141 completely demolished your primary argument... a portion of which I will repeat below. All of the thought of God concerning the entire scope of His eternal purpose prior to creation… are necessarily transeunt... for the thought of God…...

    Eternal Justification !

    Is it an absurdity to admit that God beholds the elect in Christ, first and foremost as objects of love? Between the three Persons/Entities/Spirits that is/are the Triune God, the One God, there exists the perfection of sublime joy and love. In the eternal purpose of God (prior to creation) -...

    Eternal Justification !

    Once again... for the benefit of the reader. The aberrant fallacy of eternal justification - acknowledges that Adam (and Eve) are elect of God in the eternal purpose of God (prior to creation) Because Adams (and Eve) condemnation for sin has been imputed to Christ, their surety, in the eternal...

    Eternal Justification !

    The eternal purpose of God regards the full scope of the creation is focused on the elect - Rom 8:19 KjV - For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. NKJV - For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the...

    Eternal Justification !

    The three unique individual persons/entities/spirits who comprise the Godhead - The One God - are/is the only self-existent being who is wholly distinct and alone and exhaustively self-fulfilled within Himself - (the doctrine of the Aseity of God) God posses a profound ontological distinction -...

    Eternal Justification !

    "But that would change when they sinned" Exactly… The period between the event of Adam (and Eves) creation and that event “when” they sinned is somewhat of an incongruence - in that it does not fit well - in fact it does not fit at all - with how you are describing the application of the...

    What is the Reformed understanding about experience of the Holy Spirit

    I like your response to what can be quite a difficult matter to deal with... and I find your thoughts align very much with my personal experience of living the life (now that I am alive) I was curious how you would view, what may be called, a miraculous healing, of a critically ill unbelieving...

    Eternal Justification !

    In the specific case of Adam (and Eve) in their creation... and recognising that the entire human race is in his loins. It is evident that Adam was in a state of innocence at this time being sinless, this is evidenced by the fact that Adam walked and communed with God in the Garden. In this...

    Eternal Justification !

    According to you Adam was justified before he was born. Yet God charged Adam with sin resulting in condemnation. The God who justified Adam (in his eternal purpose) then charged Adam with sin. .

    Eternal Justification !

    Your response is wholly inadequate regards addressing the question... Why don't you try again. How do you account for the charge of sin being laid against Adam and Eve in the garden if they were eternally justified? .

    Eternal Justification !

    The query I raised regards - At what point was Adam and Eve considered sinners and so under condemnation for their sin? Was intended to bring attention to what seems somewhat of a logical incongruence... in that previously you have stated that - "His will to justify them is the justification of...

    Eternal Justification !

    You did comment in one of your recent posts that you have been studying the concept of eternal justification for 3 decades, which (I would presume) has enabled you to develop a comprehensive defence, against those in the reformed tradition who disavow the position you advocate. The concept of...

    Eternal Justification !

    How can you possibly speak of studying Justification without studying the dynamic between God and evil, between light and darkness? .

    Eternal Justification !

    The point I was making regards the query “demonstrate how darkness (Satan) can be innate to light (the essential essence of the Triune God)” Is the following… although the concept of the Creation, inclusive of all component parts and entities, originates in the mind of the Triune God, in the...
