  • 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.

Am I going to hell?

Apparently, if I don't believe the literal view of Genesis (the literal English translation) then I'm calling God a liar. I'm not taking God at His word and the rest of the Bible comes into question, apparently. Does this mean that my salvation is in jeapordy? Will I go to hell?

If it doesn't jeapordize my salvation, how else will it affect my life? What negative things will happen in my life because of this blasphemous view?

Yes. After all your heretical theology means that Jesus died for no reason and God gets ticked off at those who make Jesus cry. You'll see the full Leviticus GOD in all his fiery glory as he smites you apostates.

Keep that up and we will have to arrange an award for best parody. :D

Your salvation depends purely on grace through faith. It is a free gift, not a result of works, even theological works. Wow. I am totally grateful that my salvation does not rest in me having a perfect theology.

Your sanctification, on the other hand, depends directly on how closely you agree with me.:D;):D;)

I do believe that God wants us to have a proper view of His revelation, and that it can affect how we view Him and His interaction with mankind throughout history. When we remove the historical element from the historical stories, we destroy the examples they set of how real God is within this physical world. That's part of why you'll find Jesus referring to Adam and Eve, the miracles of Moses, the Flood, on and on. Truth is very very important to God.

this thread looks like an attack on some of the things i said in previous posts.

some people here do not see the ramifications of their positions nor do they realize what they are truly saying. if i do not point them out then they will continue on in their present course and do great damage to the cause of Christ and the kingdom of God.

one has to look beyond their desires to be like secular man and see who they are, if they really are believers in Christ, and see whom the represent.

if one is a christian, then they are members of the kingdom of God and that kingdom is a theocracy not a democracy. a believer is the servant of God and are restricted to proclaiming God's words and ways not the world's.

we preach what God says to preach and we have His words to back us up. so far not one TE here has provided a list of verses which support their position. they continually refer to secular science's 'evidence' and that is not what God said to do.

God said 'by faith', He said, 'follow me' and so on. those are not difficult assignments and one has the option to follow, use faith, or deny those criterias and accept the world's ways.

do i make claim as to who has salvation or not---no--that is not up to me but we who do believe can claim who is a false teacher or where they err because the Bible tells us what to look for and how to do it.

now if someone is uncomfortable with that then they need to check their salvation, their beliefs honestly, not through filters, excuses, or justifications, etc.

there is only one truth and the world is not it. be discerning, be wise and do not accept secular science blindly for you will be led astray if you have not been so already.

And God commanded you to preach interpreting the Genesis creation accounts literally and six day creationism?

Was this some sort of private command he gave you, because I don't remember it coming up in the Great Commission or in any of the epistles where the apostles are saying what we should preach.

so far not one TE here has provided a list of verses which support their position.
I have had good discussion on a wide range of different verses with folks like laptoppop and vossler. However you avoid these discussions like the plague. You still haven't said what you think the promised seed who was going to crush the serpents head means. You refused to say whether you thought the days in Genesis ran from morning to morning or evening to evening. All you would do is posture and claim you had already said it. How are we supposed to discuss Genesis with you when you keep running away from the question all the time?

All sins will be forgiven, even sins against God and the son. Not sins against the Holy Ghost though.
I certainly don't think your salvation hinges on your view of creation.

you are greatwith the accusations given the fact that you still have failed to address so much of what i write. you avoid the truth because it will make you take a hard look at how far you have strayed from God.

you still haven't provided a list of verses that shows that evolution was God's method. so i wouldn't be accusing me of anything if i were you

If we don't take the bible completely literally then everything will fall apart. We'll break into thousands of various sects believing different things about the nature of God, Christ and salvation. When left to interpret the bible on their own they'll come up with wildly divergent views on such topics as election, baptism, "spirit-filled"-ness, worship practices, necessity of following the OT, interpretation of prophecy, the nature and timing of Christ's return, church hierarchy (or lack of), communion, works vs. grace, and all sorts of other things that are CLEARLY set out in scripture.

Can o' worms, people.

Given the fact that you have just described some of your own main debating tactics, for example in this last post you only address 26 words out of 150, or 1 sentence out of 7 from my post to you. As this is so clearly true, does your conclusion you come to fit you as well, that you are avoiding truth because you have wandered from God?

you still haven't provided a list of verses that shows that evolution was God's method. so i wouldn't be accusing me of anything if i were you
Answer the scripture questions we have already asked you and begin to show some desire to actually discuss the bible instead of making up excuses and hiding behind false accusations.

Do you say the creation days run from evening to evening or from morning to morning?

What was the promised seed that was going to bruise the serpent's head?
