  • 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.

    DOES THE. LAW. of MOSES SAVE ??

    Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and it is by the Law of Moses that we have knowledge of what sin is (Romans 3:20), so we can't earn our salvation even as the result of having perfect obedience to the Law of Moses, but rather Jesus graciously teaching us to be a doer of it is...

    Righteousness

    The purpose of this thread is to discuss the basics of what it means to attain character trait, what it means to have a character trait, and then to understand what the Bible specifically says about the trait of righteousness in a way that does not depart from the simplicity of that framework...

    God Worshiper or Law Worshiper?

    The content of a gift can be the experience of doing something such as giving someone the opportunity to experience driving a Ferrari, where the gift intrinsically requires them to do the work of driving in order to have that experience but where doing that work contributes nothing towards...

    Faith/Works

    I did not claim that good works lead to salvation. In Titus 2:14, it doesn’t say either that we are required to have first done those works in order to earn our salvation as the result or that we are required to do those works as the result of having first been saved, but rather God graciously...

    Faith/Works

    In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. In Titus 2:14...

    Faith/Works

    What good is justification in the eyes of man but not God and why is that relevant? Righteousness is not earned as the result of our works, but rather it is embodied through our works. The one and only way for someone to become righteous is through faith apart from being required to have first...

    How do we set aside the grace of God?

    I have never claimed that we need to do anything in order to earn our righteousness, but rather I have said that the one and only way to become righteous is through faith, and I have corrected on this before, so why are you continuing to burn that straw man instead of interacting with what I’ve...

    Understanding Colossians and Ephesians and the author of ordinances that were against Jesus, Paul and the Church of God. Part 2.

    The Greek word “dogma” is used five times by the NT and all three of the times that it is used outside of Colossians and Ephesians it is used to refer to something other than that Law of God, so justification needs to be given for why its use in Colossians and Ephesians should be interpreted as...

    God Worshiper or Law Worshiper?

    God's law was never given as a way of earning our salvation even as the result of having perfect obedience, but rather God graciously teaching to obey His law is the way that He is giving us His gift of salvation (Titus 2:11-13). It is contradictory to think that salvation is found in God's...

    How do we set aside the grace of God?

    The reason why I asked you to define what it means for someone to have a character trait in general and what it means for someone to attain a character trait in general is because I want you to think about what those things mean, to understand that distinction, and understand what the Bible says...

    How do we set aside the grace of God?

    Character traits in general are simple to understand but there are lots of theological constructs around righteousness that make it difficult to understand, so let’s put the discussion about righteousness on pause for a moment. Please define what it means for someone to have a character in...

    God Worshiper or Law Worshiper?

    How else do you think that the Israelites knew how to worship God if not through His law? God's way is the way to know, love, worship, glorify, belief in, and testify about God by embodying His likeness through being a doer of His character traits and the purpose of God's law is to teach us how...

    The History of the “Two Laws” Theory in Romans 3:20

    The issue of what type of contract the Mosaic Covenant is is independent of the issue of who it is made with. For example, God said that he was a husband to Israel (Jeremiah 31:32) and Israel's unfaithfulness was described as adultery, with eventually got so bad that God wrote the Northern...

    The History of the “Two Laws” Theory in Romans 3:20

    While there is a type of contract to perform a specific task that no longer needs to be done after it has been fulfilled, the Bible does not present the Mosaic Covenant or any other covenant as being this type of contract, but rather it says things like this is a statute forever throughout your...

    How do we set aside the grace of God?

    Please reread the post that you were responding to because that is not what I said. No, I said that the one and only way to attain a character trait is through faith. In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law...
