  • 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.

    The Reality of Free Will

    Thank you for taking the time to consider the OP, and respond to it. Can I answer based on what you understand from, first of all... 1 Timothy 2:14 The Bible says Adam was not deceived. Thus Adam acted on his own free will. Do you disagree?

    The Reality of Free Will

    That is not true Clare. Think about what you are saying. Addicts can overcome addiction... and have. Because some haven't, because of not taking the wise course, does not mean they can't. You can understand this scripture correctly, if you want to. Yes, and he isn't saying what you said. The...

    The Reality of Free Will

    I don't understand this. Are you saying a person who gives into weakness - thus making a choice to be immoral, makes all men the same, and therefore no man can choose not to practice sin?

    The Reality of Free Will

    Not suggesting. Just asking... Are you saying that free will means making only right choices?

    The Reality of Free Will

    Where did you get this? God does not have free will Hosea 14:4, and there is no word for free will Hebrew; Greek? It doesn't exist? Is that what you are saying here? The scriptures disagree. Leviticus 1:3; 1 Corinthians 9:16-18 Deuteronomy 30:19; 2 Corinthians 9:7; Philemon 1:14 If one ignores...

    The Reality of Free Will

    Thank you for mentioning some things that man can freely make moral choices. Can you name any that man cannot freely make a moral choice? What you described there is not the state of being sinful. The argument is that man cannot choose to be sinless, which is to say that once man inherited sin...

    The Reality of Free Will

    There isn't any scripture in the Bible that says this. To be sinless or not is not a moral choice, just as to be born with or without a defect is not a moral choice. It's not even a choice. You do not have the power to define free will as something you yourself made up and is found in no...

    The Reality of Free Will

    I would not consider that fair to her, since in my conversations with Clare, anything that is shown as clear proof, gets treated that way... with partial acceptance, and partial non-acceptance.

    The Reality of Free Will

    That's like saying to be immortal... never to die. These are states we cannot change. Not moral choices, or decisions.

    The Reality of Free Will

    Okay thanks. I hope you come to understand that doesn't say what you claim. I think you like quoting Paul. Hopefully he can help you with this one. Romans 6:6, 16, 17 Not all are slaves to sin, but if you are, then I hope that changes quite soon. You did refuse to respond, so perhaps you also...

    Confusion about God's will and my salvation

    The first step to being a follower of Christ, is true knowledge. John 17:3; 1 Timothy 2:3, 4 Only then, can we know the will of God.

    Is the way you worship important?

    Jesus said he does. John 4:23, 24 I go with what Jesus said.

    The Reality of Free Will

    You asked that question in post #2. It was answered in post #3. The honest thing to do is respond to post #3, and the courteous thing to do is respond to and address what people say to you. It's actually what is called conversation.

    The Reality of Free Will

    I saw post #2. It says that free will cannot exist with sin, which post #3 shows scripturally, is false, since morality has nothing to do with the state in which the human race finds themselves. Morality is... Actually, let me quote it for you. Morality (from Latin moralitas 'manner, character...
