• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I agree that the Christian mind is a mind that operates under the belief that there is something outside of ourselves that we must take into account, but why is it important to recognize and submit to propositional revelation?
So you are asking if we should believe and obey Scripture. The answer is yes and I do not see any room for debate on this.

Either you submit to God or you are Satan's unwitting dupe. God's word must be our authority. If not, we make ourselves to be our own god. Check out the news. You'll see just how well that is working for the human race.

The Holy Bible are the inspired words of God given to man from God to write down for the sanctification and salvation of our souls through obedience unto God. Which is why it is important we are not reading from corrupted Bibles. I only reccomend the King James Bible to English readers.

We are told in James 2:26 that faith without works is dead. These works are the commandments and precepts taught in the Holy Bible that teach us to live holy lives obeying God's will. Without obedience unto God you have no real faith.

This is off topic but... there are many excellent Bibles based on the latest research and scholarship. The King James Bible is flawed and outdated.

Even with a perfect bible translation there would still be 10,000 protestant denominations which is a sad commentary on 'sola scriptura'. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matt 4:4) This was a subtle rebuke by Christ against the 'sola' mentality before it even came into being.
