  • 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

What was the first unrighteous act of sin, the lie told by the devil by which Eve was deceived or the eating of the forbidden tree?

From Lucifer:
Ezekiel 28
By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;

17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
Satan is the author of sin.

The first sin of Adam and Eve:
Starting to doubt if God was good and not loving Him with their whole heart, because they didn't really know Him. I think if they first ate from the Tree of Life, they wouldn't have sinned:
John 17:3
And eternal life means to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
If Adam loved God with all his heart, he would have kept Eve from eating and have said: Let's listen to our loving Father instead of a talking snake. That way he would have loved her too. And Eve of course also didn't love God with all her heart or really know Him: guinosco: by experience.
Kids listen if you tell them not to take candy from a stranger, because they love and know you, even if they don't know (guinosco: by experience) that kind of sin.
Jesus, the second Adam didn't sin, because He knew and loved God the Father with all His heart.
