• 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.

Hebrews 2:
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast,
and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation,
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord,
and was confirmed to us by those who heard.

We are instructed to abide in the promised Holy Spirit.
When we neglect the gift of salvation,
there must be correction that is accepted as God's Love.


Hebrews 12:
6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons;
for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers,
then you are illegitimate and not sons.


What is the Spirit in which we are to abide??
Romans 8:
15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed

we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Therefore the question being proposed, to be more specific is
can
an illegitimate child who receives no inheritance in the Kingdom

still be saved?
That is not a question someone of sound mind should explore.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear,

but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

As to those who would ask how do I know my place in the Kingdom?
Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,
but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Are you living in fear, or at rest and in peace?

Have you endured persecution for righteousness sake?
Is the Joy of the Lord your strength?

Matthew 5:10

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
