  • 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.

    Anyone have good arguments against Calvinism.

    'Causal determinism' was around long before calvin. Free agency was expressed with the creation of angels. Some chose not to follow God. In the garden we see the same capacity for agency. - Genesis 3:11 KJVS And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I...

    The Unpardonable Sin

    I agree. Why would any 'Christian' profess faith in the god of evil. The are confused and lost. Children of the originator of evil, Satan.

    The Unpardonable Sin

    They are wrong. He is where it all began. He points that out and is not shy about it. Yet before humanity was created, angels existed. They, like humans were given the ability to choose their own path. Moral evil is the result of angelic and human pride making wrong choices. I know you...

    The Unpardonable Sin

    Thought I did. Here it is again. the King James Version of Isaiah 45:7 has two applications in the Bible. The term can be used in the sense of moral evil, such as wickedness and sin (Matthew 12:35; Judges 3:12; Proverbs 8:13; 3 John 1:11), or it can refer to harmful natural events, calamity...

    The Unpardonable Sin

    Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create...

    I DON"T UNDERSTAND

    I don't know. Here are some of my favorite scriptures tho. "Study to be quiet." "Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." "Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and...

    Should I continue playing or stop playing this game?

    We grow in faith. As young Christians we have a spirit that speaks and guides. Like young Samuel. We do not always recognize this voice. 1 Samuel 3 Eternal One: .... 4 Samuel! Samuel! Samuel: Here I am! 5 (running to Eli) I heard you calling; here I am! Eli: I did not call you, my son. Go back...

    Should I continue playing or stop playing this game?

    Sounds like you know the truth. Romans 14 can be taken to apply to choices it is not speaking of. It clearly refers to the honor of certain days over others and permissable food. If we ignore the preceding scripture, yes, it becomes a more general application which is implied as a rule. "If it...

    Saint Peter says: Second Advent = Second Resurrection - All Other Theories Debunked

    If God is all-knowing, how can man have free will?

    I've been absolutely certain that I would do some things in my life. Then due to some interruptive event or additional information I changed course. My knowledge is sometimes insufficient, obstructions occur. We are free agents... But we are not God. Either God allows for human choice or human...

    What Will Our Resurrected Bodies Be Like?

    I think it is pretty clear. It is not a tune up. Flesh and blood cannot enter... Exactly what a 'spiritual body' looks like, who knows. Any conjecture on the subject is just that. We are a spirit living in a body of flesh. Our spirit will remain and be raised in an eternal body, not of flesh...

    Paul's argument against the idea that water baptism saves. (Implied)

    Where does it state that water saves or makes right? 1 Peter 3 clears up what is meant by baptism. "... in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the...

    Only 5% of white Evangelicals see President Trump as very religious: Pew

    I appreciate this post. It shows caution. We see the outside and while some may appear completely off course given our observations, God sees their heart and, their future.
