  • 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 are made perfect

silverlin, just a quick note. it would not matter if christian science could heal every person that was sick. that does not distinguish what is true from what is false. the message of the nt certainly involved healing, but healing itself cannot be proof of what is true. the teachings, some of which are contained in your posts, echo ancient beliefs that were rejected by the early church, and rightly so. you border on a dualism that is not found in Scripture, not to mentioned the concepts regarding evil, the devil, sin and death. they are not consistent with nt teachings and all the healing in the world cannot make them true if the nt is true. i believe that we will find god if we believe that he is and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. i encourage you to keep seeking.

Yes you are right in some sense, but my beliefs come from only the bible's scripture. I have not seen any scripture to disprove or completely disregard what i believe and what i know to be true. If this were so i would seriously review and question my beliefs according to any scripture. I only seek to understand what is true. I grow in understanding everyday and learn from my mistakes. One way to prove what i know to be true is through healing and if healing is not of Truth then i do not know God.
Every bibical scripture i have seen that has been used by others to try and disprove what i say has only supported my understanding and beliefs.

We are made perfect and without sin. The belief that there is any power in death and evil will kill a man. The only seeming reality of evil is an illusion blinding us from seeing God's perfect creation.
"In whom the god{satan/illusion} of this world hath blinding the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of...Christ, who is the image of God"
"Verily, Verily i say unto you, if a man keep my saying he shall never taste death"

"ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
free from what? illusion/sin/evil/death so that you may see the glory of God.

Amen.

If we are made in the image and likeness of God then therefore we must reflect Him.
If God is real therefore evil is unreal.
If God is all in all therefore there is nowhere for evil to exsist in God.
Only through our perceptions can we believe and see evil to be real. If we live only in God and abide to the law of Life we are then able to percieve God's glory,"Hereby perceive we the love of God" for "the kingdom of heaven is at hand"
Heaven is at hand to the son's and daughter's of God if only we are to recieve it.
Does God change? no, God's work is already done and "..His work is perfect..", we have only to avail ourselves of The omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God in order to receive His blessing, to "be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect"
There is no sin in God or his reflection/creation. "he that committeth sin is of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God..For this is the message that ye heard from the begining"
Which is this "So God made man in his own image, in the image of God created he him"
"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created.."
Search and break free from the illusion of evil blinding mans minds from Truth "In whom the god{false perception} of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe{know} not.."
"verily, verily i say unto you, If a man keep my saying he shall never taste death."
So what's the point of perceiveing evil? So we are able to come to know God, without a seeming separtion we would not be able to 'in conscienceness' know God or comprehend Him in anyway.
Thank you to anyone who thinks about this.
