• 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.

Believers are accepted in/thru His Beloved Son/Jesus the Christ Also see [Rom 8:15-17, Gal 4:4-12]

Eph 1:
6 to the praise of His glorious grace and favor, which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved [His Son, Jesus Christ].

7 In Him we have redemption [that is, our deliverance and salvation] through His blood, [which paid the penalty for our sin and resulted in] the forgiveness and complete pardon of our sin, in accordance with the riches of His grace
Bible source link:
Bible Gateway passage: Ephesians 1 - Amplified Bible

(MY NOTE: Ephesians is written to believers [Eph 1:2]

Those already baptized by Christ with His salvation sealing eternally indwelling Holy Spirit.

Parsing vs 7; Believers are redeemed/saved/forgiven/pardoned from ALL their sins [Col 1:13, 14, 3:13, Eph 1:7,8, 1:17, 4:32, Rom 3:23-26, 4:7,8, Rev 1:5].

By placing their faith in Christ's sin atoning death & resurrection. A sinless Lord Jesus fulfilled/paid the laws required penalty/wage for every believer's sins. [Col 1:12, Eph 2:14]

All praise glory & honor belongs to our great God & Savor [Tit 2:13] Jesus the Christ. AMEM & Amen.
