• 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.

so when God says "thou shalt not steal", we automatically want to go out and steal?

that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard!

Yes, the law makes me want to go out and steal, murder, lie, dishonor my parents, covet...

My fleshly carnal self has nothing to do with it!

LOL

I didn't know temptation or opportunity were in the law. I found it no where... I thought temptation came from the flesh.

why did the law come?


20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

well...it says...about lust....


7:5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

The command came, and sin loved it! It worked hand in hand, married to the law. Sin is an opportunist, that loves law, to keep the Adamic creation happy.

7:8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.

Then I guess you don't understand repentance. It means repenting of sin and changing course...going the other way...doing the will of God.

Y
Are you trying to insult me? Or are you trying to say that after I repented I must follow the law and not the leading of the Holy Spirit? Gal 5:18. I'm not subject to the law.
