  • 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.

Out of all

This is an excellent question. It comes from poor man-centered preaching. Let me use hyperbole: Jesus did not die o the cross to save YOU. He died on the cross as the culmination of the revelation of the invisible Father as being both Holy and Love as contained in the 'mystery hidden from the beginning'. We happened to get saved in the process.

Since God's name 'Elohim' means 'God separated from man by ignorance', what good is getting 'saved' if you don't know the Father? The Hebrew word 'saved' means 'the flesh that loves the increase of the word'. If you are not loving learning more of him, you might ask if you are saved at all.

To answer more directly... you aren't worthy. Jesus is. He deserves a harvest. Consider the parable of the wedding feast. He has gone out into the highways and byways and compelled people to come to the feast that weren't invited. He gives you the garment to attend.
