  • 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.

So to be clear, you would argue against what some here call Total Ability, that man in and of himself can believe the gospel.

They dive into the arminian puddles.


This native and inherent corruption we call Total Depravity, and it takes effect from the time of our conception in the womb (Psalm 51:5, Psalm 58:3).

The result being "there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins" (Ecclesiastes 7:20 NIV). Indeed, human righteousness is like a "menstrual rag" in God's sight (Isaiah 64:6) !

"There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10 NKJ)

Hence, while we do have the choice not to sin, we ALWAYS choose to sin !
