• 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.

2Pe 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (2) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2Pe 2:10-21 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. (11) Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. (12) But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; (13) And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; (14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: (15) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; (16) But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. (17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. (19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. (20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. (21) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

2 Corinthians 11

3But I am afraid that, as the (E)serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
4For if one comes and preaches (F)another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a (G)different spirit which you have not received, or a (H)different gospel which you have not accepted, you (I)bear this (J)beautifully.




12But what I am doing I will continue to do, (AB)so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.
13For such men are (AC)false apostles, (AD)deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14No wonder, for even (AE)Satan disguises himself as an (AF)angel of light.

1 John 3

18(AV)Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and (AW)truth.
19We will know by this that we are (AX)of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him
20in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
21(AY)Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have (AZ)confidence before God

1 John 4

1(A)Beloved, do not believe every (B)spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because (C)many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: (D)every spirit that (E)confesses that (F)Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
3and every spirit that (G)does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the (H)antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and (I)now it is already in the world.
4You are from God, (J)little children, and (K)have overcome them; because (L)greater is He who is in you than (M)he who is in the world.
5(N)They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
6(O)We are from God; (P)he who knows God listens to us; (Q)he who is not from God does not listen to us By this we know (R)the spirit of truth and (S)the spirit of error.

Using scripture as a weapon to call other people names is juvenile. Anyone can string scripture into things that say what ever they want them to say.

Judas hanged himself

Go thou and do likewise.

What thou doest, do quickly.

See how that works? &Abel has been derailing the thread with all sorts of misused scripture quotes, to try and shout down the Calvinists here. This must stop. He offers nothing of substance to the discussion, at all. He should be ignored, and reported for violating the rules here, including posting non-scripture as though it were scripture. That stuff belongs in Unorthodox Theology. It has no place here.

Joel 2

2"Yet even now," declares the LORD,
"(X)Return to Me with all your heart,
And with (Y)fasting, weeping and mourning;
13And (Z)rend your heart and not (AA)your garments "
Now return to the LORD your God,
For He is (AB)gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness

And (AC)relenting of evil.

28"(BM)It will come about after this
That I will (BN)pour out My Spirit on all (BO)mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
29"Even on the (BP)male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.


30"I will (BQ)display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire and columns of smoke.
31"The (BR)sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the (BS)great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
32"And it will come about that (BT)whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Will be delivered
;
For (BU)on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who (BV)escape,
As the LORD has said,
Even among the (BW)survivors whom the LORD calls.

20(AZ)If someone says, "I love God," and (BA)hates his brother, he is a (BB)liar; for (BC)the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, (BD)cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21And (BE)this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God (BF)should love his brother also.

Amos 7

"(C)Lord GOD, please pardon!
How can Jacob stand,
For he is (D)small?"
3The LORD (E)changed His mind about this.
"It shall not be," said the LORD.

5Then I said,
"(G)Lord GOD, please stop!
(H)How can Jacob stand, for he is small?"
6The LORD (I)changed His mind about this.
"This too shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
