  • 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.

No, that is not an accurate representation of Scriptures concerning the powers of the air (Thoughts) that come into our mind. It isn't a Sin when a thought comes into our mind.
Jesus declared sinful thoughts as sin. It's not negotiable. Matt. 5:28

Jesus also said evil thoughts are evil, lawless and defining. Again not negotiable

People are easily led into the deceptions of excuses and letting themselves off the hook rather than confronting the reality that evil is in fact present within us. Romans 7:21


First, we need to discern them to know if they are from above or below. We have weapons and Armor from God to make said discernment, and then to use against such thoughts that are ungodly or sinful, so that we are not carried away by them.
The fact that you are engaging in battle or resistance means it's within to contend with
Accurate conclusion in bold
Which aligns perfectly with the Scriptures. The Kingdom of God dwells within me, the Temple of God is my mind, and the people of my Kingdom are thoughts. Godly thoughts are preserved, fed, nourished and allowed to prosper in my kingdom. Wicked thoughts are to be cast out, utterly destroyed, man, woman, cattle and every last part of the thought so that the wicked thought doesn't rule or influence any of the righteous thoughts in the Kingdom God gave me.

In this way I am led by Godly thoughts, which is the purpose of the Gospel of Christ in the first place, in my view.
If Godly thoughts were the only thoughts in play you'd have a point, but that's never the case

If a thought is sin then how was Jesus tempted yet without sin?

Tempted like us with a major major exception, that being without sin, Heb. 4:15

Zero people are or were ever sinless other than The Spotless Lamb of God

Point is no sin is technically forgiven. They are all unpardonable because all sin is of the devil and his messengers

Its forgivable because Jesus prayed that God forgive us.

Sins aren't counted against people to start with: 2 Cor. 5:19

Sins transpire in people but are of the devil regardless and the devil is never forgiven for any sins

IF readers only see people they'll never get a whole picture on these subjects

That doesn't mean they aren't counted.

And in any case forgiveness never equated to being sinless
