  • 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.

remember when I said your answers are obtuse. Case and point.
Why do you think me asking you questions for clarification as to what you believe so there is no misunderstandings is obtuse? I am not sure what case you are making to be honest.

Back to the OP.

Q2. If faith comes from Gods' Word (the scriptures and Jesus) *Romans 10:17 then how can we have faith or be "in the faith" if we do not believe and follow what Gods' Word says?

Any thoughts?

Answer is we cannot. If we do not have our faith in Gods' Word and promises we are not "in the faith". To be "in the Faith" means to believe and follow what Gods Word says. So if we do not believe and follow what Gods' Word says or are following man-made teachings and traditions that lead us away from Gods' Word to break the commandments of God according to Jesus we are not worshiping God in Matthew 15:3-9 and according to John we do not know God in 1 John 2:3-4; 1 John 3:6.

God bless.

Difficult to hold allegiance to one's nation and God's opposing Kingdom at the same time.
