  • 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.

holy hope...

ok here are some of my answers to your questions!!!

1. Is the Church Good?
It depends if it is following Gods will and Honouring Him by preaching His words and witnessing to others.
2. Will we be resurrected in Temples?
Not actually sure what you mean by that.
3. Will Jesus purify us?
Yes if we Accept Him as our own Lord and personel Saviour.
4. Does Heaven stay upon Jesus Christs' return?
Meaning does heaven backup that belief?
God is the only one that knows when christ will return.
5. Will all who communion recieve go to Heaven?
No. Communion does not get a person into Heaven. Communion is something God wants born again believers to take to show everyone that they have Followed Christ.
6. Does it only take once?
Yes if we truly mean for Christ to come into our lives and save us and we believe that then yes it only takes once.
7. Is it better for us to have more?
More faith? No, God says to have faith as a grain of mustard seed. One little seed packages a powerful punch.
8. can we save someone through church, more like bring them to Jesus?
Yes, that is witnessing. We are told to spread the gospel, don't keep it to ourselves.
9. Should we bring all?
God wants us to try, but obviously there are some that aren't going to listen to us. But god wants us to try our best to lay the gospel out infront of them. Then if they are still not listening we let God talk to them.
10. I there church after the first resurection?
No, i mean we will a be together praising and worshipping God but I don't think it will be church. I think it will be much better than church, we will actually be will Christ!!
11. Should there be communion after the resurrection?
No, we will have not need of it we are with Christ.
12. Will it still save us?
No, it couldn't in the beginning.
13. Are we rewarded by God for having to Die?
If we are saved andwe a persecuted for our beliefs, I believe those people will have a greater reward in heaven. For having died for the Cause of Christ.
14. Can anyone pray?
Anyone can pray. Thank you Jesus for that.
15. Will prayer eventually make everyone good?
No, it will keep us closer to Christ if we pray and read our Biblesand that is once again if we are saved.
16. Will we be actual angels?
No, I don't think so; because angels can never be saved by grace. so that sets humans and sngels apart.
17. Does this work?
Sharing our opinions and beliefs with one another? Yes that is how many people come to know Christ as their personel Saviour!!!!!

First is the church good?
How do you define the "church"? Do you define it as the assembly of the Chosen People before God? Or does your definition mean more of a liturgical assembly, the local community and/or the whole universal community of believers? Or do you use the term "church" to describe the Body of Christ? I tend to use the term "church" to refer to the Body of Christ, which I would consider to be a good thing.


2. Will we all be resurrected in temples?
I’m not sure what you mean by "temples". I believe that when we are resurrected in Christ, God will give incorruptible life to our bodies.


3. Will Jesus purify us?
How do you mean by "purify"? Do you mean the final purification (aka, purgatory)? Or do you mean that we are purified through Christ’s death and resurrection?


4. Does Heaven stay upon Jesus Christ's Return?
I think that at the end of time, there will be "new heavens" and a "new earth". What form that will take, only God knows.


5. Will all who have received communion go to Heaven?
If you mean receiving the Eucharist, then, no. Not all who receive Holy Communion will enter heaven, since it can be received unworthily (i.e. in a state of mortal sin, if you believe that there are such things as mortal sins).


6. Does it only take once?
If you mean receiving communion only once, then no. If you mean receiving Christ (being "born again") only once, then maybe. There are those who believe that you can lose your salvation.


7. Is it better for us to have more?
:confused: More what? If you mean more Holy Communion, then yes, I believe it’s better to have more. Receiving Christ in the Eucharist (if you believe that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist) often is like saying, "yes" to Christ frequently.


8. Can we save someone through church, more like bring them to Jesus?
Believing in Jesus Christ and in the One who sent Him for our salvation is necessary for obtaining salvation. Salvation comes from God alone, but we receive the life of faith through the Church.


9. Should we bring all?
???:confused: :scratch: I don’t understand what you mean here. Should we bring all to Christ? We should try.


10. Is there church after the first resurrection? (which we all come back to life from)
The Body of Christ will still exist after the resurrection.


11. Should there be communion after the resurrection?
The mystery of communion with God and all who are in Christ (in heaven) is beyond all understanding. My personal opinion is that since to live in heaven is to be with Christ, we won’t need the Eucharist as we have it now.


12. Will it still save us, kinda?
Will what save us?:confused: Communion? The resurrection?


13. Are we rewarded by God for having to die?
The reward of dying in God’s grace and friendship is to live forever with Christ. I would call that a great reward!

14. Can anyone pray?
Of course anyone can pray. It’s one of God’s most wonderful gifts!


15. Will prayer eventually make everyone good?
It has been said, "prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." There are so many kinds of prayer (blessing, adoration, petition, intercession, praise), and each one can bring us closer to God. The closer you are to God, the "better" you are.


16. Will we be actual angels?
We won't be angels. Angels are messengers from God and are completely different creatures than humans. Angels exist now, and have existed at least since biblical times.


17. Does this work?
Does what work?:confused: :scratch: :confused:

we even get to judge the angels. it's said in the bible. Will "it" save us. i think "HE" will save us. resurrected as temples??? your body IS a temple of God. you use it to honor God. your body is for God. what's church to you????Alot of stuff.. after life stuff.. we dont know. honestly, i can't say i dont care, but you are living now. Living it now and dont worry about what happens after life, whether we judge angels, whether we will be temple or not. God knows. but ask yourself, how do you LIVE for God today as you are living, how do you spread His love? how many lives you want to change while u live.


Dont worry, when you die, you have thousands upon thousands of years to consider all these afterlife question, you have maximum of 100 years more to live it out for Christ.

I take issue with your thoughts on the first question, because your belief about this is monumentally in need of correction.

Jesus made it quite clear, that ONLY GOD is GOOD!

You need to come to terms with this, because you will remain an infant in Christ (if you are in Him at all), if you think you, and others, are good.

Jesus told His own disciples, that He Himself selected,

"If you, who are evil, know how to give good good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father give you the Holy Spirit...."

Lastly,

Rom 3:4 ... Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT THOU MIGHTEST BE JUSTIFIED IN THY WORDS, AND MIGHTEST PREVAIL WHEN THOU ART JUDGED."


Hopefully, these words will set you free. You truly need to understand how evil you really are, before anything good will come out of you (by means of testimony OF Christ).

Hi Atha,

I'm very interested to know what religion you belong to? Your questions that you have posted indicates to me that you don't know our Lord Jesus Christ.

You are asking questions that are answered in HIS INSPIRED WORD.

Are you searching for answers to salvation?

Would you like to know about our Lord Jesus Christ?

Speak to us Atha, and we'll answer the real questions in regards to HIS TESTAMENT through the Good News.

Love in Christ
