  • 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.

WHY LAW OF MOSES. AND THE NEW COVENANT IS NOT TODAY V?

And ROMANS 6:14. For sin will NOT //. OV. is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICLE. NEGATIVE , means SIN. will never rule OVER YOU. RULE

over you. are NOT //. OV is also a DISJUNCATIVE PARRICLE NEGATIVE as you are. not under THE LAW , but under GRACE !!
Paul spoke about multiple categories of law other than the Law of Moses, so it is always important to discern which law he was referring to. For example, in Romans 7-8, Paul said that the Law of God is good, that he wanted to do good, that he delighted in obeying it, and that he served it with his mind in contrast with the law of sin, which was working within his members to cause him not to do the good that he wanted to do, which was waging war against the law of his mind, which he served with his flesh, which held him captive, and which the Law of the Spirit as free us from. The Law of God leads us to do what is godly, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12) while the law of sin leads us in the opposite direction by stirring up sinful passions in order to bear fruit unto death (Romans 7:5). So verses that refer something that would be absurd for Paul to delight in doing should not be interpreted as referring to the Law of God while verses that refer to a law that is sinful, that causes sin to increase, or that hinders us from obeying the Law of God shouldbe interpreted as referring to the law of sin. For example, Paul described the law that we are not under in Romans 6:14 as being a law where sin had dominion over him and it would be absurd for Paul to delight in sin having dominion over him, but rather that is the role of the law of sin. In Roman 6:15, being under grace does not mean that we are permitted to sin, and in Romans 7:7, the Law of God is not sinful but how we know what sin is, so we are still under it. Moreover, everything else in Romans 6 speaks in favor of obedience to the Law of God and against sin.


Also , read 2 Cor 3:13-16. a killer VERSE. !!
The bottom line is that we must obey God rather than man, so if you think that Paul should be interpreted as promoting rebellion against what God has commanded, then you should be quicker to disregard everything that he said than to disregard anything that God has commanded. In Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking for Him is if they speak against obeying His law, so it is either incorrect to interpret Paul as doing that or he was a false prophet, but either way followers of Christ should be followers of his example of obedience to the Law of God. The reality is that Paul was a servant of God who therefore never promoted rebellion against what He has commanded.

And do. you have a verse HOW anyone can be saved by the NEW COVENANT ??

dan p
In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith alone.

Maine elects woman convicted of killing Canadian tourist to city council: ‘So broken’

I still don’t see how it will affect decision making now.

She served her punishment, owns her crime and expresses remorse, has rehabilitated herself from addiction and wants to give back her community through public service.
You don’t agree that violent murder is more serious? Curious.
Does she need to spend the rest of her of her life as a social pariah to satisfy you?
Satisfy me? She could be doing something that has nothing to do with making decisions for the people of a city.

The Thing Most Sabbath Keepers Do not Talk About.

Its profaning God according to God. He is not a respecter of persons. Why He said those who lay aside the commandments of God in lieu of man-made commandments one worships Him in vain and both the teacher and follower of this teaching, leads one to a ditch Mat15:3-14. He said similar to this about our teachings here as well Mat5:19

According to God He compares breaking the Sabbath to idol worship. Why all the commandments are interconnected breaking one we break them all James2:11
No wonder. You equal all that go to church on Sunday instead of saturdays as idol worshipers. That is just sad. I don’t think God is going to care that I rest on Sunday rather than Saturday. Your theology makes absolutely no sense and it is absolutely not biblical. A person is saved by the grace of God through faith not by if they worship on Saturday. That is absolute nonsense.

SNAP benefits ( gentally)

Many people receiving SNAP do not need it; they feel entitled to it. They buy junk because they can, and they wast food because they can. I think if the country stripped away EBT altogether and replaced it with actual physical food rations, miraculously, SNAP recipients would drop by more than half because the entitled leaches would find it too inconvenient.
86% of all SNAP benefits go to households with gross monthly income at or below the poverty level.

Maine elects woman convicted of killing Canadian tourist to city council: ‘So broken’

Exactly. Murder is no worse than any other "wrong" thing. It's 2025 people, wake up.
But you see, 34 is more than 1. So if we give them 34 pennies, they will gladly give us 1 $100 bill.

I've been anointed by God to send the one True Word! I would love some feedback and discussion!

Curse words certainly do matter!
It is God's will that we are holy. 1 Thessalonians 3:4. Holy means set apart or different. We are not to be like the world but different from it.
How can we be holy - set apart - from the word if we are using the same foul language they use?
How can we be light in a dark world if our language is dark, unwholesome, unedifying etc?
Read James 3 - with our tongues we praise our Lord and with the same tongue we utter curses. Can fresh and salt water come from the same spring?

And what kind of witness are you being and message are you spreading if you talk about the God who is f...ing furious? How dare you put swear words in his mouth?
How are people going to be drawn to him if you describe his awesomeness, majesty, purity and love using swear words?

To be Holy is to be pure in intent my friend, all things , words and objects, if not used in an impure manner, are Holy.
You are focusing too much on semantics instead of the actual messages which is unfortunate.
Perhaps read my blog post Strippers, Music and Intent to understand where I'm coming from.
Words are vehicles to get messages across, your intent behind those words, are what really matter.
True Evil spread profane language in evil ways to hurt and harm on another, I'm using it here to spread Gods message in my own way - this cannot be Evil! But thats just my opinion I suppose my friend - May Jesus follow you

Pope Leo says faith and love for migrants are connected

So go on a mission to south America, and devote your life to feeding the poor over there. Here, we have our own laws, with our own civilization, right here on this land that's ours, and ours alone.
Did God give it to you or did your ancestors take it from the indigenous people here first?
