• 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.

It said when Abram believed, he was credited/accounted with righteousness. We aren’t born already justified, Brother. We are born condemned in Adam. In time, we are justified by faith. That’s the classical Reformed belief on this subject.

Not denying these wonderful verses, but your application of them. Was the Christ literally slain before the creation of the world, or was He slain in time?

In the mind of God, Christ is the covenant surety, so the answer is yes. There is no succession of time in the mind of God.

Yours in the Lord,
