  • 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.

    Bible is not Word of God.

    If you see yourself in the mirror you might say, "That is ME." But to be truthful it is not really you. It is only a reflection of you, an image, a picture. The same idea holds true with the Word of God. In the same way, the true Word of God is Jesus Christ not the Bible. He himself is...

    Non-believers were not a part of early church congregations nor was anyone assumed to be a non-believer who was a part of a congregation. You are relying more on your imagination than the Bible.

    What must you do to inherit eternal life?

    You are quite right to make a distinction between aidios and aionios. The notion that the Greek word ainion means an infinite time continuum is quite incorrect.

    Acts 5:31

    Seems that it is you who does not comprend Acts 5:31. All you are doing above is reaffirming to yourself what you want to believe and ignoring what Acts 5:31 actually says.

    Paul: "Lest I be reprobated."

    Fru if you really stop and think about what you are saying you will perhaps realize that it is quite mad. You have a situation where Bible writers are writing letters to people about things that won't happen because they can't happen since God has predestined they won't happen. It is insanity.

    Paul: "Lest I be reprobated."

    Your case is clearly absurd.

    Paul and the Law: Solid Foundations

    That's right. There is no more need for the covenant of the Law. Do you not understand and require further clarification?

    Remain in me

    So then there is no possibility that anyone will not remain in Christ? Yes or No.

    Faith and Baptism

    If you are referring to the Ephesians 2:8 salvation event the answer is: NO. Your question contains a false presumption wherein you define faith as something that is an attitude or disposition of your mind.

    Apostles' Creed

    It was very likely a second century development. We have evidence of variations of this creed by that time.
