  • 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.

  1. The Liturgist

    Orthodox Priest on the dangers of Legalism and Selfish Spirituality

    I particularly liked the quote he thought was from St. Isaac the Syrian “God is not just, God is Love, if he were just I would be the first person condemned to Hell.

    No 2nd chance in Hell.

    - Reader, There is no 2nd Chance to go to heaven, found in Hell. And its the Devil's lie to teach that Hell can be escaped, or that its temporary. Being found in Hell after you die, is proof that you are eternally separated from God, which is why you are there. Let me show you why you will...

    Transformed vs Reformed

    Reader, In this world, there is religion. Religion is a man made process whereby you try to reform your behavior so that it reflects some idea you have of what it means to be good or even righteous. Religions reflect what some carnal self righteous man decided, and wrote down for you to...

    Born Again = RIGHTEOUS

    - Reader, An unbeliever is "under the law" := shows you that you are a sinner, with no Righteousness. The Law and the Commandments can't give you any righteousness. They can only demand from you what you don't possess of yourself. That is the "curse of the Law". You need Christ as your...

    1 John 3:9...... not 1 John 1:9

    - 1 John 3:9 : is the born again spirit having become : "the new creation in Christ". This is to be "in Christ", and there is no sin found there. However, renewing your mind, so that Romans 8:1 is your spiritual reality, is something different. Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation on you...

    How to put on : The Armor of God

    - Paul tells us to put on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6. So. reader....who's armor is it? A.) ITs Gods. So this means its Spiritual, and you can't see it or provide it for yourself. What does that mean? It means : 1.) you don't work for it, 2.) and you don't strive to have it, 3.)...

    What you don't know : = Keeps you confessing sin.

    - On "Christian" Forums ... you alway find an army of people who want to tell you about their confessing sin and trying to keep the law. So, If you pay attention to Threads and posts, over time, you'll discover that the people who "sin and confess and repeat", also try to bring the Law to...

    Working out : Your Salvation

    - You are "made free from sin"., if you are born again and not just water baptized and a religious law keeper. So, if you are confessing sin, then what you are struggling with..... is sin consciousness, not sin. Paul said' "i seen another law warring against ">..= "Inside me". See that? That...

    Sinless : Saints of God

    - What is the difference between a Christian, and an unbeliever? There are a few. You, if you are born again, and not just water baptized (sprinkled) and religious) are going to heaven, and they are not. You are born again, and they are not. They have their sin, and Christ has all of yours...

    = Born again

    What does it mean to be born again.. 1.) Your sins are on Christ because "God made JESUS to be sin for us, who knew no sin"..... And God's Righteousness has become yours, as you have become "the Righteousness of God in Christ"....."made Righteous". This is : "Salvation". This is "Redemption"...

    The Real : Walk of FAITH

    1.) We know that we can't please God by works, law, or commandment keeping. So, all of that is not discipleship. Paul said. "as many as be PERFECT",.. "the fullness of the Stature of Christ". See that? That is referring to "the mind of Christ", and "walking in the Spirit". IN other words, that...

    How To Have : Victory

    - Paul teaches that : "Christ always gives (us, him) the Victory". What Victory? What is Paul's context? Listen.. "Victory", is deliverance from and over .... the world, your flesh, and the devil....at all times. At all times.... So, Why dont most believers exist in that Victory that Christ...

    Being Reconciled : #2

    - Before Paul was born again, he said that he had been "" blameless in the law."" He had kept it, and later found that Christianity is not based on that,..... and discovered that in his inner man there is a tremendous conflict that occurs if he tried to strive to be holy in his flesh, (self...

    How Smart is the Devil ?

    How smart is the Devil? He was not smart enough to realize that he could not sit on a Throne of Rulership above God, in Heaven, so, he was sent down here. He is however, so very clever that he was able to deceive Eve into broken fellowship from God. He is also so clever that he can...
