  • 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

    antichrist

    I drive for a living and get to hear podcast all day. He sees the anti-Christ as the ruler of the Beast, a kingdom that dominates the world through it's military strength. The apostate false religion embodied by the Papacy is the harlot whom the anti-Christ uses for his purposes then discards.

    Have the NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased? Dr. Michael Brown vs Dr. Theodore Zachariades

    By the way I'm sure we all agree that God at the very least "permits" false wonders, false miracles, false visions, etc.. Right?

    Have the NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased? Dr. Michael Brown vs Dr. Theodore Zachariades

    Maybe you should bring this up in the "Debate with a Calvinist " forum. It's basically the Leighton Flowers tiresome argument. "If God predestines then why complain or debate about anything?"

    Have the NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased? Dr. Michael Brown vs Dr. Theodore Zachariades

    Yeah I know. And some of the language in scripture which Dr. Z references seems to suggest that. But I believe that the full picture of scripture is more compatible with compatibilism. :sorry:

    Have the NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased? Dr. Michael Brown vs Dr. Theodore Zachariades

    Wow! That's cool that you were there. I'm not tracking your argument though. A determinist like Dr. Z doesn't deny that God permits and decrees all things that come to past, including false wonders, etc. I don't understand how his cessationism contradicts his determinism. He claims to hold to...

    Sola Scriptura before the Reformation?

    Irenaeus: "We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our...

    Gill & the Church Fathers

    I never read Gill. I've heard the accusations of hyper-Calvinism.

    Have the NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased? Dr. Michael Brown vs Dr. Theodore Zachariades

    At first glance it looks like they are Presbyterians embracing charismania.

    Days of Vengeance

    Wow! Almost 800 pages. I tend towards Amil but admit I find problem passages for all the views.

    Have the NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased? Dr. Michael Brown vs Dr. Theodore Zachariades

    Interesting debate took place last Friday. There's a growing openness towards charismatic gifts among the young, restless reformed. Dr. Z bought up some new points I didn't hear in other debates on the topic. Dr. Brown of course is a renowned scholar and experienced debater. Worth a listen.

    Is Jordan Peterson our new Aryan Christ?

    I'm glad that he stands up to the cultural Marxism that dominates his academic circles. But when it come to Theology all we get from him is psycholobabble.
