• 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 are just making stuff up now. Did Adam not love God before sin? No one understands God completely, BTW.
Abraham hated God. He was an idol worshipper. He only recognized God and believed in him because God circumcised his heart.

Not sure no one understands God completely. Probably depends upon what completely means. Pretty sure Jesus did and does...and anyone to whom He reveals Him at least to some degree. Don’t think thats beyond Him.

What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

He responded to God when God revealed himself. Where are we told he hated God?

Jesus is God, so Yes he understands himself.
To some degree, yes. But we only see the tip of the iceberg.

Because faith is s fruit of the Holy Spirit proving he was saved.

How about Revelation? As a Lutheran, you should be fully aware of how the plagues in history are tied to Revelation.
You need to learn more about Lutheranism.

I know more about Luther. You should spend some time with him
You obviously don't know much about Lutheranism.

Oh, and try being polite when people ask you questions.

I am out of here.

He said he reveals God to some. Ours is to see which ones and fulfill the criteria so he can do so for us.
