  • 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 impact did the FALL of Adam have ?

Applies to you as well, friend. There's plenty of it going on here, from all sides. No one is exempt. I never claimed that I was, only that I am going to attempt to rise above it.

And lies cannot be communicated by crying?

Lying is someting that's done [SIZE=-1]on a conscious level, [/SIZE]with deliberate intent to deceive. We cannot lie unconsciously. So regardless of whether lies can be communicated by crying, the nature of lying implies that an infants aren't capable of do it. It will take some years before children know the difference between telling the truth and lying, and before they realize that it's wrong to lie.

oyl says



babies die at birth some of them dont they ? adams sin brought about physical death..

Sharing in consequence is not the same thing as sharing in guilt. A crack baby shares in the consquence of her mother`s drug abuse but is in no way guilty of the sin. If a fool pollutes a stream those using the water source suffer for it but only one is held accountable for the sin. We all experience the guilt and ultimate judgment for our own sins, no one else`s. Take note of the personal pronouns.

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Matthew 16-27
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: Romans 2-6
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corithians 5-10
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Revelation 20-13

I can find no reason to dispute your conclusion. We are wicked and filthy sinners from the get go because of Adam. We are indeed DEAD in our sins with NO hope of pardon, (justification), apart from Gods amazing GRACE thru Christ!

if there is no such thing as collective inherited guilt "nations are called to repent " , then individualism wins the day , therefore there can be no such thing as inherited righteousness and all you have left is SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS .

First you condemn man’s nature which is really right on, for we as fallen creatures are so unrighteous. But then you refer to the non scriptural doctrine of freewill to by starting with a verse that is so contrary to man having a freewill (John 6:44) and then you try to justify your free will, then of course the golden nugget “then I can receive a tiny bit of credit”.

Let me start with your golden nugget. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Eph 2:1-8 gives a clear view in context how the salvation process is accomplished in carnal man. God’s Spirit has to quicken us out of our dead spiritual state. Being dead spiritually is so easy to understand. Have you ever see some one dead? Well a spiritual man is dead to hearing seeing, receiving God and all the man made doctrine of freewill or choice cannot and will not waken carnal man out of that dead spiritual state.


"QUICK ."Quick means living and active — LIFE-GIVING! making it active, operative, energizing and effective, notice the context of Ephesians which shows us step by step how the salvation process works.

Eph, 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast

Then you refer to: “Rev. 3:20” which is clearly speaking to the church realm.

Rev. 3:20

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. 'IF' any man HEAR MY VOICE and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with Me."
