• 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.

What came first was man, the animal. Or "Natural Man". Adam was the first Natural-Man to have a Spirit. So he was the first Child-0f-God which natural men are not children of God.

Adam was the first natural-man to get the Holy Spirit. The First man to have Life. God has always focused on Man with Spirit and no men or animals that do not have spirit. Adam was the first to have life, and the first man to die as well.

God is only concerned about Spiritual death. Animal-death has never counted and is not even considered death in God's eyes. When Jesus fed fish to the crowds, he didn't mourn over the death of the fish. Fish never had life to begin with. Death without Spirit is nothing to morn.

When people die with no Spirit, it means nothing to God. They were never alive to start with.

Indeed no sinner is purely a child of God in their own right they have to be born again, but all people are His children to start of with, we are His offspring Scripture teaches (Acts 17:28,) but we died becoming aware of sin even from young onwards. (Romans 7:9.)

I think he means he was alive and breathing. Then he learned he was dead under the law and in God's eyes.
