• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    It's not biblical to say God gives visions nowadays. He did in the past, but the Bible is sufficient for us. God does not currently provide private truths that are only given to specific people. Truth comes from the Bible, and the truth is for all to hear and for all to interpret.

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    It wasn't free will that got us in trouble with God. It was pride, conceit, and selfishness which first materialized in the mind and led to Adam and Eve sinning.

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    "When I look back, I can see how a series of events has led me to where wants me to be" Again, this is circular reasoning. You say you know the will of God by interpreting your anxiety attacks. You are determining the will of God in specific events by your emotion, how you feel. How do you...

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    "If God is in control of all events, then the people who perished in the Holocaust and the Gulags were part of God's will." Those people were a part of God's plan just like everyone is. However, the things that we do or the things that happen to us are not always a part of that plan.

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    "Obviously if someone mistreated their car and it broke down, that would be God's justice coming back to them." Why can't car being broken down because of mistreatment be a by-product of living in a sinful world? How do u know God always instantly punishes people for wrongdoing? You say car...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    "someone who just murdered someone isn’t saved..." do u believe this? You are right that the statement is reference to current state; but is the statement true?

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    so you are still implying that they will go to Hell

    Humans are natural born warriors

    Name-calling is not helpful for good arguments. name-calling is example of what happens in bad arguments. Arguments ideally help us think logically and come to a conclusion that is better than what both people separately thought before the argument. Good arguments happen when both parties are...

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    I too think that people nowadays who say they hear literal verbal commands from God in their mind are imagining things. They think God has not sufficiently revealed Himself through the Bible which is nonsense. We live and know truth by the Word, not subjective personal experience.

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    "Some do say they hear the trivial. Perhaps so, sometimes God may just want to fellowship with you" By "hear" do you mean someone can literally hear God saying private things to them in their ear?

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    You attribute success to being aligned to the will of god. Is being rich and wealthy a sign of being aligned to God's will? Another question is: how does one know they are not acting on emotional inclination rather than hearing the will of God? I don't think God reveals Himself through...

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    How do u know it was the will of God? What if your car broke down because you mistreated it? Is it the will of god that you mistreat things? I don't think that is His will for one's life. or what if your car just broke down by chance? That is just a by-product of living in a sinful world

    What would your reaction be? Would you react by saying your car breaking down is the will of God?
