  • 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

Have I broken any forum rules?

Possibly.
This part of the forum is for Christians only, and to discuss philosophical issues.
If you deny that Jesus is the 2nd person of the trinity, was born as a human being and was fully God and fully man, you are not allowed to call yourself a Christian, and therefore should not be debating here.
Faith groups and individuals that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation whereby He, as God, took on human flesh (becoming fully God and fully man in one person), are considered non-Christians at CF. Posts that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation are considered non-Christian theology and are not allowed in "Christians Only" forums. Discussions in all "Christians Only" forums must be in alignment with Trinitarian beliefs.

Goading is also not allowed on these forums:
NO Goading. This includes images, cartoons, smileys or post ratings which are clearly meant to goad. Quoting and then editing another members post to change the original meaning, commonly referred to as "fixed it for you" (FIFY), is considered goading.

yet you have said from the beginning that you intend to provoke people.

So, are you a non believer who sincerely wants to know about Jesus, or is your purpose here only to provoke, goad and cause irritation?

But brothers and sisters in Christ don't want to provoke, they don't call each other the Devil's children nor do they wish the lake of fire on people. So why are you doing it?
Is this a formal accusation or just an inquiry?
Please clarify that for the record?

You asked if you had broken forum rules. I said, 'possibly, and quoted part of the forum rules.
I do not know your beliefs or motives, that's why I said 'possibly'. You decide - is your post against forum rules or not?

I like to keep it on record for the Lord.

If it is not for the record
I will decline to answer your accusations of me.

I need not entertain baseless accusations.

No one's accusing you - we are trying to find out why you asked about Jesus and then said that you were trying to provoke us; your words.

I am starting this thread to prove that not any of you
in Spirit and truth know who and what is Jesus Christ.

I am going to try to provoke you
to seek that to which to believe
that will have no errors within it.

Your first words suggest that you don't think that any of us know who Jesus. That sounds like you are making a judgement, and also provocation.
I am not accusing you of that, since you may have just worded your post badly. So as I said, you tell us.

Is this correct?

No, I am making an observation.
I have yet to pass judgement upon my observation.
When I do I will tell it to you.

No Christian brother or sister wants to provoke the fellowship.

Galatians 5:26
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Colossians 3:12
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Here is what I said word for word...

I am going to try to provoke you
to seek that to which to believe
that will have no errors within it.

Why do you think trying to provoke
anyone even a Christian into believing
that to which has no errors within it is a bad thing?

Therefore it is not the sinner
but God that determines their measurement of belief in Him

Is this correct?

You sound like someone who has just read Socratic Method for dummies and thinks it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Boring.

I am not worthy of your praise.

Nor do I seek any praise of man.

I seek the praise of God.

Are you one of those slow learners?

Or is this just a bad case of stubbornness?

Not to worry. It was not a praise. Was there something biblical about boring people to death being divine and thus worthy of a praise from God ?

Here is something biblical that you should take to heart
every time your feet hit the ground when you get out of bed.

Matthew 12:37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

I reverend it so much that most all the time before I open my mouth and speak
this law of the Spirit comes into my thoughts.

Not exactly.
You quoted someone else's post, yes; so possibly you were addressing the question to them. The person whose post you quoted may answer you in time, but you asked the question publicly - so I answered.

You missed out the first bit of your post which said that you started the thread to prove that none of us know who, and what, Jesus is.
