  • 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.

    False Preachers/Teachers

    According to Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking for Him is if they teach against obeying the Torah.

    The Law of God

    In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God spoke without departing from it, so the reason why it is called the Law of Moses is not because it came from him but because it was given by God through him as a mediator. Likewise, the Bible uses the phrase " the Law of Moses" and...

    What Does the Lord Jesus Mean by “Doing the Will of the Heavenly Father “?

    In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus said that only those who do the will of the Father will enter the Kingdom of Heaven in contrast with saying that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from Him and it is straightforward that the Father has made His will known through His law...

    How do I use a bible concordance and distinguish laws in the OT?

    So you are willing to follow God unless He dares to command anything that has an aspect that you consider to be ceremonial, in which case that crosses the line? In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light...

    How do I use a bible concordance and distinguish laws in the OT?

    If a group of people were to create lists of which laws they thought were part of the moral or ceremonial laws, then they would end up with a wide variety of lists and one of those people should interpret the NT as if its authors had in mind a list of laws that they just created, especially when...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    While I agree all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, it is patently false that no one obeys it, especially considering the fact that there are many examples of people in the Bible who did obey it, such as with those in Joshua 22:1-3 or Luke 1:5-6. For example the fact that...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    According to Deuteronomy 27-30, the way to by blessed is by relying on the Book of the Law while the way to be cursed is by not relying on in, so Galatians 3:10 should not be interpreted as Paul quoting from that passage in order to support a point that is arguing the opposite of that passage...

    Might the Laws of God actually change on the New Earth?

    Jesus was saying that it was never going to happen. The only way that we should cease to follow God's instructions for how to be holy as He is holy would be if He were to cease to be holy, and the same is true for God's other character traits, which are all eternal. Jesus saying that he would...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    In Romans 3:27, Paul contrasted a law of works with a law of faith, in Galatians 3:10-12, he contrasted the Book of the Law with "works of the law", and in Romans 3:31 and Galatians 3:10-12, he said that our faith upholds the Law of God in contrast with saying that "works of the law" are not of...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    I do not hold the position that we should obey works of the law but have only spoken in favor of followers of Christ following his example of obedience to the Law of God. I have not spoken in favor of earning our forgiveness/salvation/righteousness as the result of our obedience to the Law of...

    Why the Sabbath is a moral commandment

    The basis for the ceremonial law being included as part of the definition of "dogma" is a misinterpretation of how it is used Colossians 2:14, so that part of the definition is wrong. We should live in a way that points to Christ rather than a way that points away from him, and all of God's...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Works can be done for a variety reasons, such as if we love someone, we trust in someone, we want to impress someone, or we want to earn a wage from someone, so the Bible can speak against being required to do works for incorrect reasons without speaking against being required to do them for the...

    Why the Sabbath is a moral commandment

    Again, Colossians 2:14 is the reason why the Greek definition shows that there're different categories - some being ceremonial, so it is circular to then quote that definition to try to show that Colossians 2:14 is speaking about ceremonial laws. "Dogma" does not refer to ceremonial laws, but...

    Why the Sabbath is a moral commandment

    In Matthew 27:37, they nailed a handwritten ordinance to Christ's cross that announce the charge that was against him that he was the King of the Jews. This fits perfectly with the concept of concept of the handwritten list of the charges that were against us being nailed to Christ's cross and...
