  • 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.

Just so you understand, I'm not going to change your mind.
Probably not. But im not going to change church people's minds either. They think that God meant for them to follow a denomination.

The body of Christ is Jesus's responsibility, not ours. We don't really see things as Jesus does, so sticking our nose in His business is not advisable.

So its not my business but its the teachers business? Are we not supposed to judge our leaders?

Isn't the Bible the greatest teacher we have?
Yes many say the to. be saved believe John 3:3 , must be BORN. AGAIN :

And others say in. John 3:5. must be BORN. OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT

And some believe Jhon 3:5 m m. you must be BORN of WATER and the SPIRIT he cannot. enter the KINGDOM

OF GOD. and cannot enter. the KINKDOM. OF GOD, and cannot explain where that KINGDOM IS !!

Or quote 1 John. 5;18. THAT WHOSOEVER is BORN OF GOD . SINNETH NOT

And I quote ROM 10:9 JUST CONFESS with your. MOUTH. the Lord JESUS. and should BELIEVE in. your HEART

THAT. GOD raised Him from DEAD. you WILL BE SAVED

Teachers give people a false sense of security in my opinion. Its the easy way out. The hard way is to examine yourself and your church gainst the scripture. I believe every teacher fails to preach the whole truth. For example, I believe politics lead people astray, but I hear no preaching warning their flock.

\And the biggest division refuse to follow the APOSTLE GIVEN TO THE GENTILES , PAUL. as all are saved by GRACE

I know the new testament commandments. Why do I need a teacher? Why should I choose between denominations instead of just obeying the Bible?
The reason we all need teachers, is because we are sheep. God appointed shepherds to teach us and lead us and protect us from the wolves.
If you're one of those sheep who has strayed from the safety of the herd and the shepherd, then you are in grave danger of being devoured, by a hungry loin or wolf.

We need a teacher to interpret the Bible to us, if we attempt to interpret it ourselves, then we will get lost in confusion and we will fall victim to demonic doctrines.
If you give the bible to a hundred men and ask them to study it and explain what the scriptures all mean, you will find 100 different interpretations. This is why there are 49,000 different interpretations being taught by 49,000 different Christian Denominations.

The Lord Jesus established His Church 2000 years ago, there are no Denominations in His Church, there are no Jews or Gentiles in His Body. Those of us who are in Him, all submit ourselves to the authority of the shepherds He appointed and ordained. If you reject the authority of those Christ appointed, then you're not obeying the new testament.

The teachers are the apostles who wrote the scripture. Everyone else is a poor substitute. These churches dont interpret the Bible correctly. Blindly following a teacher who doesn't preach everything he's supposed to is easy. Any fool can do that.
