  • 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.

Can you fall from being saved?

If you can not tell I have been serving Him with all my might by reading my posts, then you don't know Him or love Him.

Good day tree of life May God be with you

I was just trying to get you to take it out on me, whatever "it" is. There seems to be a frustration to many of your posts. I thought that being angry with me might help you get over the hump.

I have no doubt that you are being honest when you say you are serving God with all your might. I wish I could say something that would get you to understand that it's OK to rest in the Lord too. Everything in it's own season.

I pray you will find great rest and comfort in the Lord today.

Do you know what Paul said in jail? "I fought the good fight, I finished the race". I am running a race. I am fighting a good fight. I have a joy fighting for the Lord. I want hear Jesus tells me "hitomi, you did a good job"

Jesus talks about hypocricy many times in the NT. He says "watch out for hypocricy" This country is filled with hypocricy. People can not see it because they don't care about Him or serving Him with all their hearts.

May God bless this country with true blessing comes from Him.

In Jesus name, hitomi wilde

What if you were to suddenly realize that we do care? That we do love Jesus? How can we not love Jesus? :)

It could be that we are just not as strong in our faith yet as you are. If that's the case, we could sure use some encouragement from those who are stronger.

We can tell by our fruit if we are true followers or not. This country is not showing much fruit of christianity. You don't know because you have been trained to think about yourself first. Why don't you start finding out about the truth about your own church. Do you know how much they are helping others? The Bible tells us to not to do anything to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness. If you don't know about your own church how do you know if they are fruitful or not.

Lets not just talk talk and talk. You should start paying attention to whom you are associating with.

I repeat; The Bible tells us "have nothing to do with fruitless deeds of darkness"

How about we just love one another and see if the world notices? Didn't Jesus say that would be how the world would know we are saved?

Know that you are loved today by other Christians joyinhim. :)

I can not ignor the reality of this country's using His name in vain. If you truly love Him you could not keep your mouth shut. This country is disgracing Him name.

The country? I don't understand.

What does that have to do with eternal security of salvation to those that believe?

I am talking about the Christans who just talk talk and not the walk. You don't want to talk about the walking with Him it's because you dont have it.

If you don't have walk with Him why do you bother discussing about the Bible.
Being Christian is all about walking with Him for His porpose which is reaching out to the lost souls.

Ummm. OK I guess. But I'm a Christian and God lives in me. He is always with me.

If you love Him you would feel terrible how people are misrepresenting Him. If you feel bad then you also speak up for Him. If you can not see hypocricy in this country there is something very wrong with your faith. Isn't that because you are not serving Him with all your heart, soul and strengh and mind? Jesus is not cheap. He died for Us. He tells us "If you can not give up everthing you have, you can not be my disciple" Do you know that? He never says He just wants to hear your sweet talk.

Joyinhim. I urge you to back off. You are becoming more and more harsh in your statements to people you have never met. I urge you to consider the writings of Paul in Romans 2:1-2.

OK pastor Jim, I think I have exposed a lot of dirt that most churches are sweeping under the rug. "and have no fellowwhip with the unfruitful of darkness, but rather expose them"

May God be with you all.

holo, people know all about grace.
I disagree 100%.

If people actually knew how much God loves us and has forgiven us, they would all stop accusing each other, they'd repent, they' cry, they'd be broken, they'd love Jesus with all their hearts.

Yes, faith without works is dead, but works without love is worse than death. Doing good works because you're afraid of God is a horrible way to live. I know this by experience. Furthermore, to wave one's pointing fingers at others in the name of Jesus is nothing but blasphemy. It's like saying, "I believe Jesus died for all my sins and faults, therefore I have reason to judge you."
