  • 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.

    Why Me? (Reflection on Election)

    Therefore being justified by faith....... 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we...

    When is One's Fate Secured?

    When is one's fate secured? Those who are of Reformed Theology believe in Unconditional Election in which one's fate is secured prior to them even being born and not conditioned upon anything like faith, which is an attitude, nor action on their part. They are born eternally secure in the fate...

    Unconditional Election

    According to Reformed theology a person is fated to eternal life prior to birth, and that not based upon God's foreknowledge of their faith. That is the "U" (Unconditional Election) in the Calvinist's "T.U.L.I.P" acronym. As such under Reformed Theology the elect are never in their life in...

    Should the House of Representatives add more seats?

    I think discussions about the Electoral College are fruitful discussions, just as gerrymandering is critical for discussing topics related to representation. However, I think one issue that is often overlooked (and would actually affect the electoral college) is the number of representatives in...

    Calvinists/Reformed, Please help me explain TULIP.

    Greetings, I first wanted to say upfront that I am not reformed however I have a friend who is expressing his disagreement (rather strongly) to 5 Point Calvinism (TULIP). I would prefer not have this turn into another Calvinism/Arminianism debate. Rather, I want to make sure that I am...

    The Hypocrisy of Calvinists

    The Hypocrisy of Calvinists Under Calvinism salvation is not by faith in Christ, but rather by a pre-birth election whereby God arbitrarily decides ones eternal fate, and that not based upon God's foreknowledge of some future faith. Thus people are born ether saved and eternally secure or...

    Why do Republican legislatures suddenly hate democracy when they lose?

    Republicans in Wisconsin and Michigan, defeated in November, seek payback by limiting the powers of incoming Democrats We expand or maintain certain powers, but if we lose, we try to change the laws to prevent oversight. This is not how the system is supposed to work. These antics were also...

    Election results quite normal

    That the House flipped party leadership was to be expected. The dems lost some 60 seats in Obama's first term. Typically 30 or more seats change to the party out of power in nearly every midterm. The long term implications could actually favor the Republicans. This will occur if the House...

    11 Signs of True Converts

    The sermon at church today was really helpful to me personally as I have been dealing with doubts of my assurance in eternal life with Jesus Christ. The pastor went through 1 Thessalonians verses 1-4 listing out 11 signs of election and assurance that Paul points out. He said these are to...

    My Views on Calvinism and Arminianism (From a 'Neitherist.')

    This is not meant to be a point of debate. I am just putting forth a hypothesis. This is not the Word of God. I am neither a Calvinist nor an Arminian, but embrace both soteriological standpoints in a paradoxical way. The Bible teaches both, I believe. I was wondering... since God is beyond...
