  • 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

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    You are not debating the topic. All you are doing is repeatedly Appeal to Ignorance, claiming you do not understand AS IF that is an argument in support of the alternative.

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    We were finally having such a good exchange too. I give you EXACTLY what you ask for and you imply it is STILL not good enough. I gave 4 reasons as requested. You ask if those are the best reasons and am I done. Although you invite put downs, I'll try to say no to the invitation ... I gave 4...

    ICE to Deport 1 Million Illegals

    Of course, the media and Democrats will treat this as unprecedented racism on display.

    ICE to Deport 1 Million Illegals

    It was until Obama. Note: The "returns" dropped by 2/3 under Obama because they relabeled returns as removals. It seems a bit absurd to even categorize a "return" as a deportation. But that is politics.

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    REASON #4: We are not saved by our fickle faith but by God’s faithfulness! One thing that disgusts me is Christians supposing the power of our puny faith saves us. Larry Richards in The Full Armor of Godsays it is God’s faithfulness that is our salvation. I fully agree. all of which is good...

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    REASON #3: Unending punishment is inconsistent with an all-loving, all-merciful God. As a father, no one would think I am a loving father if I punished my daughter for falling after taking her first steps (of making choices) unendingly. I look at spirits to be akin to a gas, with God being a...

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    Steve, It seems like we are genuinely communicating now. Praise Jesus! I'm not sure I will be able to answer your questions to your satisfaction but hopefully this will give you something to thing about while I go to bed. LOL Good question. I always took this to be both God's mercy and...

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    REASON 2: Universalists truly believe in an all-merciful God. 13 the quality of each person’s work will be revealed in time as it is tested by fire. 14 If a man’s work stands the test of fire, he will be rewarded. 15 If a man’s work is consumed by the fire, his reward will be lost but he will...

    The term "all things" or "everything" is pretty broad BECAUSE that was universalism is. :-)

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    Reason 1: Universal Restoration What are your thoughts on this reason? That is, do you understand - even if you do not agree - how this can be considered Scriptural support for Universalism?

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    Steve, Universalism has been explained to you over and over again. You are not taking responsibility for learning but blaming others for your stubborn refusal to learn. For instance, you never responded to my post about universal restoration from Acts 3:20-26. (Instead, you stubbornly keep...

    Would God tell me to divorce my husband?

    Most other responses were quoting Scripture. When I was very stressed in my marriage I believe I got a message from the Holy Spirit, telling me "I do not deserve this." I took this as the direction to go. That was 15 years ago. Certainly, divorcing my wife was one of the most important...

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    Steve, you are a PIA! I mentioned sticking to John 3:16 and for several exchanges we did. This is tacit agreement. Do you really want to discuss why people believe in Universalism or all your reasons why it is wrong?

    The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

    Steve, I'm not interested in your Appeal to Diversions. If you cannot stick to one verse at a time, you are just changing the goal post. Fact is, John 3:16 does not go against Universalism. As soon as you admit this, then we can go on to discuss any other verse you want - provided you also...
