  • 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.

Choose death, than you are free to choose righteousness.

Christ came to free us from our fallen state. He did this by taking us to death with Him on the cross. We are told the just shall live by faith. It is having faith in the truth that when Christ died on the cross He took us to death with Him. This is our “reckoning ourselves dead”. This has to be chosen first, by faith inwardly or one will never be freed from there old man so that they can choose another master, by faith. Once this choice is made... death to self has been chosen. Than is the believer free to choose righteousness, which is the new master one is called to choose. All this transpires in the inner man. Once this reckoning is done from and in the heart, walking in newness of life is a natural walk before God. It is all done inwardly by the faith of the heart. Than the works of the law are fulfilled in us, but not by us. For than we are living before God by faith and as this faith grows Christ is being manifested each and every day to a larger degree in us which translates to Christ being seen in our life’s. This truth is the way put forth in scripture as the way of walking in newness of life.

For we did receive the Spirit by the hearing with faith and all growth and increase in Christ comes the same way, by the hearing with faith.

Be blessed as you confirmed these truths before God, Not me
