  • 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

    Adam's Sin

    Except he does not say "all" related to condemnation and "many" related to justification. He uses both terms with both results and emphasizes the connection "so then as through ... even so through" Whatever Paul meant, he meant both outcomes happen in the same exact way.

    Adam's Sin

    I think he was referring to the next statement after the one you underlined, which says "one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men." one transgression -> condemnation to "all men" one act of righteousness -> justification of life to "all men" one man's...

    Burger King grilling vegan burgers on same grill as beef burgers.

    If you're that concerned about the food you are putting into your body ... why are you at Burger King anyway?

    What was this gospel?

    Right, "from that time" ... at the very end of his ministry after years of "preaching the gospel", he finally started to tell them that he had to die and then be raised up. It seems that wasn't part of his standard preaching over three years. Hence my question: what was the content of his...

    What was this gospel?

    I'm sorry, what ulterior motive do you think there is?

    What was this gospel?

    This is the gospel, according to Paul (1 Cor 15): Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of...

    What was this gospel?

    To try to understand what the gospel was that Jesus preached prior to his death and resurrection and the development of Christian doctrine. Was that not clear from my questions?

    What was this gospel?

    Did this good news of the kingdom and peace that Jesus preached include any mention of resurrection? Did he preach substitutional atonement via the cross? On what basis did he preach reconciliation and peace? Was the content of his gospel "Christian" in any sense compared to the Christian gospel...

    What was this gospel?

    Mark 1:14-15 says: Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Can anyone explain what this "gospel of God" was that Jesus proclaimed? What did he mean by "believe in the...

    How would you define sanctification?

    How would you define "holy" or "like Christ"? What does that look like?

    How would you define sanctification?

    What exactly is sanctification? What is sanctification not? What is the impetus of sanctification? What is the mechanism of sanctification? What is the method of sanctification? What is the result of sanctification? Who can be sanctified? Who cannot be sanctified? What are the prerequisites of...

    If there was no death (of animals) before the Fall, then why would animals need to eat?

    One might argue that it would be more precise to say that Adam would have lived forever if he could keep eating from the tree of life in the garden. Eternal life is a gift from God, not a quality of the human soul or body. His sin forever separated him from that tree (God's gift) that provided...

    Massive anxiety attacks

    Not a quote from scripture, but I think still biblical nonetheless: It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass...
