• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It is my experience that unregenerate people will infer negatives that are not implied by Christians.
There but for the grace of God go I.
That is your experience. Try an atheist/agnostic experience.

And if you don't imply such things then then video doesn't apply to you. Thank you have a nice day.

Do you mean non Christians are unregenerate as distinct from Christians who are regenerate?


Are you aware that there is no evidence that in the US Christians are any more morally regenerate or physically regenerate than non Christians?

General Apologetics may have been before your time, but there were a number of threads attempting to define what Christianity actually was, and not a single answer was found to be generally agreed upon.


Many stated that the Bible gave a good definition of the answer but it was decided it gave many conflicting answers and although it might have been possible to somehow eventually put something together out of it, there were Christians stating that God was not the author of the Bible, it is the work of men attempting to convey the truth about God.

There were also debates about what is to be taken literally and what is to be taken metaphorically.

And the usual statements that Christians are not better than non Christians but unlike non Christians the Christians are forgiven.

And about what exactly constitutes salvation. Some thought Catholics could not be Christians, others that Catholics are Christians and some thought good Catholics could be Christians and most weren't and so on.

To be regenerated spiritually, born again, has nothing to do with human affect, moral, physical or otherwise.

Your question is toooo long. You only need to know the answer of the highlighted one. And there is a definite answer to that for ALL Christian denominations and Catholics.

I guess you know the answer, don't you?
