  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Grace Has a Name

    We will all find out at our judgment if our interpretations of the Scriptures are correct. 2 Peter 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    This is how Jesus will judge our deeds when we die: Matthew 19:16-19 Then someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the...

    Grace Has a Name

    Jesus states very plainly what deeds we must do now here on earth so that he will grant us eternal life after we die. I believe him! Matthew 19:16-19 Then someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about...

    If The World Ended Right Now, Would You Be Saved? Eph 2:1-10

    It is true that salvation is by grace. How do our faith and works maintain our salvation by grace until we are approved to enter eternal life after we die? Jesus states very plainly what his followers must do on earth in order to enter eternal life after they die. Matthew 19:16-19 Then...

    Grace Has a Name

    Neither you nor I have already received eternal life. We have the hope of eternal life while we are alive here on earth. We haven't already received it. Titus 3:7 We can't literally receive eternal life until after we die and are judged worthy to receive it. Ephesians 4:1, Colossians 1:10...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    Maintaining our grace until our death is not dependent on the Law of Moses. Maintaining our grace until our death under Jesus Christ's new covenant is dependent on our continuing obedience to Christ's law. Matthew 19:16-19

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    True. Baptism is what first saves us, but continuing in our salvation until our death is what proves we are worthy to inherit eternal life. Acts 14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    Jesus commanded both water AND the Spirit for entrance into his kingdom. He did not say that only one was needed. Jesus will judge us after we die. I did as he commanded. :)

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    Because Jesus said it does. :) John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Mark 16:15-16 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and...

    Grace Has a Name

    Years ago, I saw an ad (online) with instructions on how to join a so-called "Christian" group who got together regularly to fornicate and commit adultery with its other members. They claimed that God's grace gave them the liberty/permission to sin (fornication, adultery, etc.) without their...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    His mission was to preach the gospel. It was the priests/elders mission to baptize.

    Grace Has a Name

    Yes, presently. It is not about tomorrow. It is about this very moment. If you are believing/obeying, and loving God this very moment, you are being saved. If a person is not still believing, obeying, and loving God this very moment, he is not being saved. He is perishing. 1 Corinthians 1:18...

    Grace Has a Name

    The consequence of unrepented egregious sin is the loss of eternal life. If a person loves Jesus Christ, he obeys his commandments. There is no separation between the two. Jesus Christ only gives the crown of eternal life to those who are still loving/obeying God until their death. James 1:12...

    Grace Has a Name

    Yes, you are correct. Many, many people believe that all they need to do to inherit eternal life is to "accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior," and then they are saved forever. They think they cannot ever be condemned to hell later even if they disobey God's commandments. James warns...

    Grace Has a Name

    This is called "striving to enter into eternal life through the narrow gate." Luke 13:23-27, Luke 9:23 :)
