• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

It looks like the verse challenged is not being quoted fully. The thought in the Word (KJV) is that if one sins willfully after one has received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there is no more sacrifice for sin (Heb. 10:26). That is to say Jesus Christ is the sacrifice, and if that is not good enough for one, then there is nothing else. We need to read Scripture in context. If one fails to receive Him, that is all God has given for salvation.

"If one fails to receive Him, that is all God has given for salvation."

We could pretend that's what the scripture says, or we could read the scripture and see that it clearly says; "
after that we have received the knowledge of the truth."

"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

"But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."

And that agrees with Jesus; "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

The proliferation of unscriptural statements demanded individual attention.





In other words, it gets exposed as unscriptural.





You're not advocating grace, you're trying to turn grace into lasciviousness.





We either do what God says, or we don't.

We can pretend that we don't have to by labeling any commitment on our part, "self effort", but that won't fool God.

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

We have to do the "doeth", or else.





Then do what Jesus says, keep His commandments and teach others to do the same.

"Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."





Why? Who cares how someone post?





I'll assume your doctrine can't stand scriptural alignment.
I care - it misrepresents what has been posted and is a dishonest practice .

It's not a dishonest practice, it was the only course of action you left me with.

I didn't learn this from amateurs.

You try to pack so much unscripturalness together so that some will slip through.

It's interesting that you have no concern that your doctrine is contrary to the Word of God.

As you put it "not those who religiously follow a set of instructions while ignoring his voice"

If you hear voices telling you to do something contrary to the Word of God, you're listening to the wrong station, better change the channel.

8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

all glory to God :)
