• 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 have you understood about the charcater of The Ten Commandments?? (2)

There you go again. I never claimed to be sinless. You know that.

Then what is your complaint? Is speaking truthfully not allowed when we have the same conclusion?


Why would being honest about this subject, where you agree no less be what you claim?

Why do you insist on making up what is false about another as your means to gain the ascendency in the debate? You can't win that way. You can only suck the other into becoming a fellow loser. Loser recruiting losers.

You can certainly end the debate by claiming sinlessness.

Will say again, I accept that the conclusion of law is that I am a sinner. I also don't think the conclusion is any different for anyone else.

If you have a point beyond that you are welcome to it if you know what it might be.

Boy... you sure know how to play dumb. That's ploy #2.


If I were God? I would punish you by making you appear before Judge Judy.

Her ratings would go way up for that show.

The only odd thing genez is that you agree, but you don't and without any specific form of critique, only the accusations without specifics.

I am happy to take critique from any legitimate believer. That's part of why I post.

Forum rules prohibit calling another a liar. Are you aware of that rule?

Do you think it an ambush to say that the law proves us sinners?

Seriously?

I would dare say that the entire body of Protestants and Orthodox probably agree on this matter.

The law proves that where God isn't, wickedness rules.

Jesus spoke the entire law by saying, do unto others...

No one becomes sinless by 'do unto others' either, though I totally agree that is the walk in the Spirit in His Way of spiritual fulfillment of the law.

No amount of lawkeeping is going to change that fact and make any keeper sinless.

Jesus is the law. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven. For it is God alone that justifies.

Claiming to have the answer and continually admitting your a willful sinner, is called an error. All glory is for God alone, and for God alone to distribute.

Your missing the point. Jesus is the perfect law. Reject the perfect law, reject Jesus. Remember, deny thyself.

It isn't ever about self. It is only about God.

Ambush? Yes. To introduce them to your buddy (the devil), and tell them he joins them while they sin? No good! That's an ambush. Matter fact. Flat out weird.


Stop acting naive.. (I sure hope its only an act.)

Sin is of the devil. And, the fact that we are born sinners, is of Adam.

That does not mean the devil puts on bathing trunks and jumps into your pool of sin when you choose to sin. The Bible does not teach that. What you say has a sinister tone to it. Tell what you do to a naive, well intentioned, baby Christian, and you could be classified a terrorist. What you say can be construed as spiritual sadism if directed towards a young lamb of the Lord. Its weird.

The naive part is claiming to be a slave to sin. Chew many times.

Who are you addressing that to? Me? Who believes that is the case? We are no longer slaves to sin. But, that does not eliminate the possibility of ever sinning again. Prior to salvation we were slaves to sin. There was no choice involved.

So Gods law is good? Good works are good?

Jesus is Gods law. The spoken word of God in the flesh.

Decipher, please.. Jesus is God's law?

I thought its more like this...

John 1:17

For the law was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Deciphering Pauls letter to say Jesus is against Moses, is against God. Luke 16.

One can serve sin or serve God. One cannot serve both.

Are you one of those who claims Paul is not of God?

Romans 2:15 is proof that there is no new covenant promise of writing the old covenant into anyone's heart, as it was working within the Gentiles who didn't even have the Law, and this was their condition prior to the Gospel's availability.

You disproved your earlier contention that it merely moved location. That is consistent with what the inspired author penned in the epistle to the Hebrews.

You have never supported your other contention regarding the sabbath:
Sabbath should be a day of rest and worship as God requires not as SDA's say.

Seems a good time to ask for Biblical support showing when and where God ever asked/commanded the Gentiles in Barbados to keep the sabbath.
Asking this in the past never produced a response, so I acknowledge that asking it is a waste of time and effort. You expect Christians to abandon God's rest and revert to the sabbath, which amounts to asking us to turn away from Jesus Christ.

The Law itself specifies the sabbath was exclusive to the children of Israel (Exodus 31:13). Your claim is contrary to the Law. You speak from darkness.
Isaiah 8:20
To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

It's only unfortunate when believers don't know the scriptures:

1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil; -

Spin it how you will from there genez

Tweaking the term 'willful' next to sin isn't going to change the fact of being a sinner either. Nice try though.
