• 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.

Hi there, brothers and sisters!

I'm a nondenominational Christian from Brazil.

I come from a Kardecist family and started developing an interest in metaphysical truth, God and religions in my early 20s. Went through many religions and philosophies. I've been sympathetic to Christianity for a long time due to some of its values, but took a long time to actually convert due to issues like alleged/apparent contradictions, which didn't really make sense to me until I was introduced to dispensationalism in 2020 through the internet by people like Robert Breaker and Gene Kim. To me, it seemed like the best explanation to these issues, although I'm aware there are many others.

My acceptance of Christ and the gospel of 1 COR 15 1-4 happened on May 2020.

To be quite honest with you, although my belief in God is steadfast (natural can't be the first cause of natural, entropy, thermodynamics, the complexity argument, etc) and I do experience phases of strong faith, I frequently waver in terms of specifics; interpretations, difficult passages, history issues, canon issues, etc. Although I do believe dispensational evangelical Christianity to be what makes the most sense, I experience difficulty feeling sure about most things.

I hope this forum helps me with my doubts, offers me new points of view and plays a positive role in my jorney towards truth and God. I also hope I can be a likeable member and contribute to the forum in a positive way. God bless.

Hi Flaunge and welcome to the forum.

What are some of your favorite verses from the Bible?

I always found this one interesting...

Matt 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household."

and...

1John 4:4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world."

You may find this link helpful...


Cheers

Fix your eyes on Jesus. As you seek Him you will find Him. Knowledge of the Bible is great, but knowing Jesus far greater.
