• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I disagree.
I am a new creature, and "old things are passed away: behold, all things are made new". (2 Cor 5:17)

All the devil has, are the old memories; which he uses to try to lure us out of the light.
As James writes..."Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)
Hi! You can think the old man or sin nature is gone, but that would mean we cannot sin any more. One has to have the old man to sin, and it's not true that we do not sin any more. Thanks for your reply!

That is correct.
A true repentance from sin will last unto death.

Thus, having destroyed the old man at our water baptism into Christ and into His death, burial, and resurrection, (Rom 6:6), allows us to live faithfully henceforth !
"For he that is dead is freed from sin." (Rom 6:7)
Glory be to God !

Amen, we keep confessing unintentional sins, and God keeps us always in His "forgiveness," and permanently "cleansed from all our righteousness" (1Jn 1:9).
