  • 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

Like I said, the word "flesh" appears to be used as a term to show the "nature" that is not God's. So my reasoning is not that we are different from angels in that respect or that it is the meat that we are made of that specifically causes us to sin.

I believe that He made is weaker than He, but that He withheld much grace after the fall, making us much more depraved, but not as depraved as we could be. While we are all wicked from birth, we are not all axe murderers either.
