  • 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.

As for me, I have read through it several times and have memorized some Scriptures, although I would not consider myself a scholar by any means.

I think I will forever just be a student.

Have you guys ever heard of Billy Graham? One of the most famous preachers of this past century I would suspect. But he is dead now. Lived to be exactly 100. People used to call him "The Walking Bible" because he had at least half of the Bible memorized. That blew me away. I don't think I am intelligent enough to memorize half the Bible. Or to even go to some place like Harvard for that matter.

It's not how much you know, as Bible knowledge gives no one God's free gift of Eternal Life. But that you believe in God's promise that all who believe in Jesus for Eternal Life (God's free gift) receives Eternal Life and that can be seen in simple verses found in The Gospel of John.

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
------------------
John 3:14,15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

------------------
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
------------------
John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
------------------
John 3:18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is

condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
------------------
John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
------------------
John 5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
------------------
John 6: 27,28,29 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
------------------
John 6:47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believe in Me has everlasting life.
------------------
John 11:25,26,27

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
------------------
John 20:31

but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Billy Graham knows the Bible better perhaps but I obey it. I lost faith in him when I found out he was rich.
Being rich doesn't mean that he didn't serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Being rich doesn't mean that he didn't serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Its my opinion that you cant serve both the Lord and money. Jesus teaches us to flee from wealth when he said not to store wealth on earth. The apostle Paul teaches Timothy to flee from desiring wealth and to be content with life's necessities. If wealth is ok why shouldn't I desire it? The scripture says that God withholds no good thing. Why not make us all rich if its good? Why did James say the poor are rich in faith? I follow Jesus and his apostles. They were not rich.
