• 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

Your statement leaves it to anybody to 'discern' some 'new revelation' that God hasn't provided for in the Bible. In practice that is what an open canon involves.

My statement is true. If GOD wants to provide more revelation, there is nothing saying that HE can't.

You might not like that, but again, the statement is true.

God could change the effect of Raleigh scattering so that the sky appeared green instead of blue. Also a true statement.
God could raise the Titanic. Also a true statement.

Sorry. I know you believe what you state, but it is a recipe for all sorts of people who claim they have a direct pipeline from God to make up all sorts of new revelation. In fact, it happens all the time. Mohammad started a whole new religion with his inventions that he 'discerned' came direct from God. And so on and so forth, going on today in all sorts of congregations where some guy decides to add a bit of new teaching based on nothing more than his own inventiveness. Or maybe he earnestly believes he was given a real revelation, thinking God is doing something brand new that only he can hear.

It actually comes down to what new doctrine or dogma you think God is going to give us that was not revealed in Jesus Christ to His apostles.

It's not a debate.

So the sky could be green come morning. White the day after. Red the next day. Everything could change at any moment. Deus vult. OK. God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants. Does that mean that He will?
