• 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.

None is righteous; no one seeks for God. Really?

Psalm 14:

Foolish people deny God. They are no good.

Romans 3:

10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God.

They are foolish. They all sin against God.

However, by the grace of God, some are not so foolish, Genesis 6:

9b Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.

Job 1:

In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and *upright; he feared God and shunned evil.

Genesis 15:

6 Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.

Lk 2:

25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Is there anyone who seeks God?

Jesus commanded everyone to do so, Matthew 6:

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matthew 7:

7“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Click to expand...
In their natural state, people are selfish and deny God. No one is righteous without God's grace. People can seek and find Him by God's grace.
