  • 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.

In Christian churches all over the globe, we have a mixture.

All of the attendants claim to be believers, but only a tiny few are really His flock, truly born again.

The only pure church we have seen was at the very start of the church in the book of Acts.

Satan's attack, was indeed, this mixture. For the mixture, was like adding leaven, for the TWO CAN NOT fellowship (which is a Spiritual dynamic, not just physical) with one another, and neither does God move in the same kind of power with this mixture present.

Yet one more time on this earth, Jesus will make His church (Ecclesia) pure. This imho will be like a Goshen event were THEY are separated and gathered together, in one place, and there may be many of these places across the planet.

The church will contain both wheat and tares until the end of time, when they will then be separated at the final Judgment (Mt 13:24-30) and then his church will be the pure bride/wife of the Lamb (Rev 21:9, 1 Co 5:31-32).

I don't know that it's a mixture. A mixture implies that there would at least be some truth in the Church, but that's not what Christ said.

Isa 3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

Do you follow what the "pure church" did in Acts 2:44-45 and Acts 4:32?

Does that mean you are also not "truly born again"?
