• 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.

Obedience to the word of God is NOT optional -if we persist in disobedience we are not saved

Firstly you have to confirm why God told adam to not choose the knowledge of good & evil.
All you can do I run from answering the question isn't it. You can hardly admit you believe Christ came to destroy what God says is holy, righteous and good.
Your theology is a mess I am afraid. All you can do I ignore most of what is placed before you

Anyone who seeks to be justified in Christ by faith I him is in a saved state/a christian.
Paul tells us those in such a state are evident sinners.

Why did God tell adam that if he chose the kge he will die?

This was what abraham was doing till God renamed him as father of many nations.

Becz of Christ's work God has renamed you as righteous but you choose your old name of sinner.

That's nothing at all to do with what we are discussing, another subject. Start a thread on it.

So you say Christ came to destroy the law which God says is holy, righteous and good. But you refuse to say Christ came to destroy what God says is holy, righteous and good.
That just shows the hopeless theology you have

David tells us the law of the lord is perfect.

The problem was the law of righteousness, sins power to condemn man through what was and is perfect.
What is perfect was not destroyed, the power of sin to condemn through what is perfect was destroyed.

You need to accept that, not argue against it

Is it another subject? Is stating so, another way to run?

If God says that knowledge of good & evil is not to be chosen as it leads to death, His grace revealed through His Son will certainly eliminate it. Becz God never changes His mind.

Trying to believe that the power of sin is destroyed while holding dear the kge that brought curses & death sounds funny.

Peter tells us to pursue knowledge.

All you are desperately trying to do I run from answering an impossible question.

Do you believe Christ came to destroy what God says I holy, righteous and good?

It may sound funny to you to believe the law remains, but the penalty for transgressing it got removed, but that simply shows your total lack of understanding spiritual truth

Law does not remain, though you seem to rip ephes2:15 from your bible, only good works to rejoice in Christ remains.

It is you who is ripping huge swathes of scripture out of the bible. Eph 2:15 refers to a law of rightwousness

The holy spirit leads the believer into truth.
You must feel he has led you to believe Christ came to destroy what God says is holy, righteous and good.

That says much

This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord
I will write my laws on their mind
And place them on their hearts
Then he adds
Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more
Hwb10:16

The cornerstone of the new covenant. The law God desires you to keep is transferred from an external law written on tablets of stone to an internal law written on tablets of human hearts.
The penalty of sin is removed, Christ is your righteousness, not observing the law.
There sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.

It is a serious thing to preach incorrect doctrine. Be careful!

It also talks about the penalties of losing salvation which probably you believe in.

It is God's word which says that kge has to be avoided though you seem to have ripped that off.
