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
Unless i'm mistaking,
Jesus tells he is not good himself.
Please, how do you understand that ?
Indeed,
Unless i'm mistaking,
i'd say Jesus calling good the Father means it's He that provides with the growth of every being.
Yes, may be, but i fail to understand why (from Jn 1, 29)
(...) the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
I understand it to mean that Jesus is talking to someone who does not believe He is God but yet is calling Jesus “good”. Jesus is pointing out the irony to him.

Thank you, a New Dawn.
Sorry, i hardly believe so, for the ruler, who is a wealthy man, becomes sad after Jesus suggests he should sell ans give everything he owns. Indeed, i suppose if he didn't believe, he would not have become sad

People who are not saved but who admire certain aspects of Christs teachings because it appeals to their own sense of ego, what they think the kingdom of heaven should look like, are often saddened when they are told there is more to the equation than that which they are WILLING to do.
Well it's actually literally. Jesus simply did not want to give any credit to the flesh. The flesh is evil and can be tempted to go against the Fathers will. Jesus did not having any sin but the reason he did not wanted to be call good because the flesh itself kick against the will of the father.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Jesus knew he had to die but yet he did not want to die so he said if it can't then thine will be done.
So if the man with no sin is not good then neither are we who have sin. The flesh is evil and Jesus wore it so nobody can tell him on judgement day that you don't understand. If we don't walk just like Christ we are in danger of hell fire.
