  • 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

    Porneia, sexual immorality and romantic love, committed love in marriage.

    That's not true. In the Greek language, it is almost impossible to say "male virgin" because it was just assumed that if you were male, you would be having sex. This included prostitution and the ability to have sex with anyone who was below you in the social hierarchy.

    Porneia, sexual immorality and romantic love, committed love in marriage.

    This might be helpful to you. There are four different words for love in the NT. They all mean something different. https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-are-the-four-greek-words-for-love-in-the-bible.html

    Porneia, sexual immorality and romantic love, committed love in marriage.

    I'm in agreement with @Michie on this. Porneia is any kind of sexual immorality. That could be porn, or masturbation, or lust, or homosexuality, or adultery, or fornication. Anything that is not sex in the confines of a marriage between one man and one woman for one lifetime.

    Skillet’s John Cooper Responds to Criticism New Chart-Topping Christmas Song Is ‘Demonic’

    It amazes me what Christians will fight about. Skillet's song is pretty tame, relatively speaking, when it comes to Christian Metal artists making Christmas music. If you wanted to flip out about something, I think this song would be a lot more appropriate to get upset about (even though I...

    Seeking Feedback for a Book I am Writing.

    Hello, everyone! I have previously written a book titled "Schizoaffective Disorder and Christianity: In Search of the Truth of God's Sovereignty and Human Will." I am now in the midst of writing my second book. This book is much more focused on the topic of soteriology. I am looking for any...

    You've really got some nerve saying the theories about the moral/ceremonial/judicial laws have no basis when you say stuff like this.

    Okay, so you have to do some hermeneutical gymnastics to say Jesus changed the Law of Moses. He changed nothing. He elevated the Law of Moses, He didn't change it.

    Do you follow all the Laws of Moses? If you don't, why not?

    I've already shown examples of this.

    You would have to say the same thing about the word "Trinity." The concepts are certainly there. You are an anomaly when it comes to your view on this.

    One excellent example is Acts 15.

    Okay, well, Paul uses the Moral Law to talk about imperatives for Gentiles. There is a ton of president and reason for it.

    @Fervent, you make no sense. What are Gentile Christians supposed to do with the ceremonial laws of the OT compared to the moral laws of the OT? When exactly does this sort of contextualization go away in the Bible?

    Romans talks about differences in the ways Jews and Gentiles worship God as well.

    The destruction of Jerusalem left the Church feeling like a lost puppy away from its owner. The early church did not expect that to happen. They started reinterpreting everything shortly after. The Church can err. It has many, many times. So, I am not concerned about how "modern" my...

    Not everything in the Bible applies to everyone equally. While we can take some practical application to ourselves from books that were not written for us, doing so is no small task, and Paul spent an exorbitant amount of time clarifying to us what is applicable to Gentiles from the Hebrew...

    That is not a very good question. The Torah was written very early in the history of Judaism. You will not find a Jew who is either Messianic or a practicing Jew who would say the Torah is not relevant today.
