• 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.

Is salvation conditional?

Context. (i.e. devour SCRIPTURE; read it fervently in constant prayer, like the BEREANS, as the APOSTLES always did, as the answer is clear and clearly in SCRIPTURE)
Also, usually when a verse is quoted,
it is argued or debated instead of accepted as is.
This is true. Instead of settling a discussion, quoting Sacred Scripture usually escalates it. I don't usually quote from the scriptures because doing so seemingly inspires the other participant to post their own quotations and communication never truly takes place. Sad, really.

Folks, this thread is staying closed. This is not the forum for Christians to debate each other.

Please read the Exploring Christianity Statement of Purpose.
It includes:

Debate
This forum is for discussion of questions with non-Christians and new believers. There are some areas of theology in which different Christians may believe differently. In these situations, we would ask Christians to refrain from debating the matter here. You may point out that there is a differing viewpoint, but please do not use this forum to debate with other Christians. If Christians wish to discuss various doctrines with other Christians, they should do so in one of the Theology forums.


We have other forums for Christians to debate each other.
