  • 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.

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    The church is Israel and those in Christ (God the Son) are His people. Nothing to do with the-nation-that-calls-itself-Israel.

    Israel is losing Americans (support)

    Good as there is no biblical notion to support the nation-that-calls-itself-Israel.

    Once you're saved, you don't matter anymore

    That is not good shepherding of the flock from those pastors. It reminds me of another concept- some churches get do obsessed with serving the community, they forget the Gospel- and partner with secular charities which they shouldn't.

    Trump opens the door for sanctions on Nigeria over persecution of Christians

    He's considering all sorts such as the cutting off of aid. The problem is this will affect the persecuted Christians too and actually may increase Christian persecution.

    Persons in creation pre-existing conception?

    Scripture does not say that. We are not to look to earthly philosophy or near death experiences likely caused by the brain as a source of revelation. God certainly knew us since eternity past but that does not mean we physically existed.

    IDOP: 2 reasons why we must pray for persecuted Christians

    This is very important. If we are truly saved we will see fellow Christians as brothers and sisters in Christ and who would not care for suffering family?

    OSAS - I was wrong...again

    OSAS is absolutely true, sinning to cheat grace is already dealt with in Paul's letters. OSAS does not mean genuine Christians don't grow in holiness. God would not save someone from hell and then push them back into hell and say "just kidding". “God loves the saints as the purchase of his...
