  • 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

For all eternity - "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall all mankind come before God to Worship"

That applies more widely than it being said here. When we are to judge things it is for knowing sin that we ourselves should not do. If we tell others what is sin we should have the passages to show that, if they who we would tell are also believers and somehow do not know of that. But much being seen as sin is not indicated as sin from the Bible and would be thought that way only from social values or values we learn from somewhere else. So it is not good to judge individuals, that is for leaving to God, who knows what is within all of us.

I do all I can to remember this, I speak for things that are better, including to remember what God said to remember in the Bible, to do as we can accordingly. And though I get responses telling me not to judge others as it is said that I do, I am not judging anyone with speaking of what is better, and I am not commanding even when speaking of what God gave in commandments. It is left for others to see whatever they will from it, as they live before God

I agree. In all of your posts I would say that you are not being judgmental even though there have been sometimes strong disagreements.

I see there are some on Christian Forums who are not yet learning ways to communicate without judgement or personal remarks, though these ways to learn that are not with those things are the Christlike ways in which believers should grow, the fruits of the Spirit would bring us toward that. It is a work to not come down to that level with them, that I am sure we should see.

I would say there is ignorance of things. Unless ignorance is deliberate there would not be any guilt in that. I include myself. I would certainly be ignorant of some things, actually many things, it is a huge universe. But there are things I can still learn, and however old I grow to be I still want to learn. And there are things to learn that can yet be for betterment. And things I am already sure about that there would be ignorance of among others I want to share. There just should be as much desire to learn that would be among others as there is with me. Where I am wrong about something still I want to be shown, it still needs to be with something convincing enough.

There can be the circumstance that wrong things were learned, and that can happen anywhere. Churches are not really inerrant and something that was wrong may be even learned there. Things learned with scripure passages might be wrongly understood from the context not taken into account... That I find to be pretty common. To be able to learn is to understand where we have learned something in error previously.

In the scriptures it's written in Proverbs 15: 28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life
Abideth among the wise. 32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
But he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; And before honour is humility.

I will rephrase my question. Please answer it with either yes or no.

Do you believe that Hebrews 4 depicts Sabbath observance in terms of church attendance?

Acts 18:4 does saying that "Every Sabbath" Paul was preaching the Gospel in worship services , preaching to both gentiles and Jews.

At best, that would have been synagogue attendance. The development of the system of synagogues occurred in the century or so prior to the coming of Christ and, thus, postdates all of the Old Testament. There is not a whisper about synagogues in the Old Testament.

Thank you for answering my question, although your answer was incorrect.
