• 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.

You only think so because you have rejected the verses and explanations that I have given.


I know the verses. And I know they are not to be applied the way you are applying them.


Genesis 9:6 isn't the Mosaic law. That was introduced hundreds of years later.


No, I'm not. Jesus never taught that Gentiles are to become Jews.


If it were not illegal to kill occultists in the society in which you lived, would you kill them? If not, why not?


I gave you the verses. If you can read them and understand them, you will recognize that they directly say that Gentile believers have already been saved, and they did not need further instructions to become saved.


No, I don't. I gave the Scriptures, and you rejected them.


For those that are under the law. But I'm not going to take that all the way into the heresy that suggests that Jews can be saved apart from Christ. Since Gentiles are not under the law, as the verses I have previously shared teach, it's not an insistence for them to follow the law.


I belong to Christ, not the world. He redeemed me without putting me under the Mosaic law, same as every Gentile he redeemed. The epistle to the Galatians is very clear on that.
Isn't it interesting that all of your replies have no scripture to back them up! I'm not interested in your mere opinion. I refuted all of them so suffice to say we agree to disagree. Believe as you wish!

You refuted nothing, and I quoted plenty of Scripture, which you dismissed or ignored, then claimed I didn't quote Scripture. This happened repeatedly. I will believe as I have, until study or the Spirit tells me otherwise - but while I cannot prevent that from happening, I don't believe it will happen.
