  • 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.

"There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins."Ecc7:20

“Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all.”

“For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful
to all” (11:32); and in the fifteenth chapter of I Corinthians, he
writes: “for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ”
(15:22).

Accordingly, when Paul asserts in Romans 5:18 that Christ’s one “act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all,” he evidently has in mind every descendant of Adam who stands under the judgment of condemnation; when he insists in Romans 11:32 that God is merciful to all, he has in mind every human being whom God has “shut up” to, or has“imprisoned” in, disobedience; and finally, when he asserts in ICorinthians 15:22 that “all will be made alive in Christ,” he has in mind everyone who has died in Adam.
No, he has in mind everyone who DIES IN CHRIST.

Php 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

2Pe 3:9
The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some men count slowness; but is patient toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Lu 1:37 For no word from God shall lack endurance1.
1* Greek 101 αδύνστησει αδύναμος αδύνατεω lacking endurance


Luk 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: I say unto you, for many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

When he has shut to the door, he shall answer I know you not whence ye are:

Luk 13:25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

Keep your eye on the East coast Hurricane:

Nah 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

For those of you that believe in the endless eternal conscious torment of Hell for the unsaved, what is your rebuttal to Matthew 10:28 ?

Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

And here's what the bible says about the one who is able to destroy the soul ,the body and hell
Revelation 20
10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
and
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

God does not make mistakes or create unredeemable trash good only to be thrown away. Though God respects human choice and free will, even when the choice is to reject Him, His love and mercy can forgive literally without exception, "without any blame."

For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? - Isa 14:27

God as Judge "is completely overshadowed by the image of God as Love and Mercy.

Therefore, God's choice does not depend on a person's will or effort, but on God himself, who shows mercy. - Romans 9:16

The opinion that God allows people to lead a sinful life on earth in order to punish them eternally after death. This is a blasphemous and perverted understanding of God.


God no longer counts men sins against them, He is in the process of reconciling the entire universe . 2 Cor 5:18

"No one is abandoned by the Lord forever." Lam 3:31

"Love never fails." 1 Cor 13:8

"Christ draws all men to Himself . " John 12:32

"All men will be saved. " 1 Tim 4:10

1. God's love surpasses human understanding ( Eph 3:19, Eph 1:23 , Rom 8:35-39)
2. Mercy, Grace, Love endures forever ( Rom 11:32, Psalm 100:5 )
3. Wickedness will be cured ( 2 Cor 3:11 )
4.Every Knee will ' willing ' profess and bow in worship to Christ. ( Phil 2:9-11 )
5. Every debt ( of unrepentant ) will be paid in gehenna, when paid, Restored. ( Luke 12:59 )
6. God is not willing that anyone to perish forever. (Matt 18:14 )
7. ALL Nations will be reconciled, healed , transformed, restored back to its former Glory. ( Col 1:20 , Rev 2:22, Matt 17:11)

"All men will be saved. " 1 Tim 4:10
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]yea[/FONT][/FONT] , of those that believe.
5. Every debt ( of unrepentant ) will be paid in gehenna, when paid, Restored. ( Luke 12:59 )
58...and the officer cast thee into prison.
Luk 12:59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Mat 18:34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
6. God is not willing that anyone to perish forever. (Matt 18:14 )

Mat 18:14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some men count slowness; but is patient toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
7. ALL Nations will be reconciled, healed , transformed, restored back to its former Glory. ( Col 1:20 , Rev 2:22, Matt 17:11)
Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven;

Rev 2:22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.


Mat 17:11 Mr 9:13 But I say to you that Elias has come, and they will do to him, as many as wanted, even as it is written for him."
No fanciful restoration of all men, devils and damned spirits, is spoken of as either being done, or begun, by the ministry of John; but merely that he should preach a doctrine tending to universal reformation of manners, and should be greatly successful. CLARKE
