• 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.

  • 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

Debauchery

Gal 5:19-21 "...debauchery ... those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."

Debauchery here is a rejection of restraints. The insolent doing of whatever one's caprice may suggest. It's the philosophy of life to do whatever you feel like doing. The Greek word used in Gal "aselgeia" is descriptive of Lot's neighbors in Sodom. "and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the "aselgeia" conduct of the wicked" 2Pet 2:7 That is, their unrestrained, capricious conduct.

Among the Christian community, those who treat the grace of God as a license to sin are practicing debauchery and as such are hell bound. The Greek word used in Gal is translated "license" in Jude 1:4 "For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord."

Those were just a couple obvious examples. There are others, like getting angry. Everyone is included and sins.
