    Advice for a Baby Christian

    Hey Scarmarie :gtingz, you are pursuing what I believe to be the principal ministry of a baby Christian, sitting at the Lord's feet and growing in your knowledge and understanding of Him/His word/the faith, so keep up the good work in His precious Name :thumbsup (BTW, I think that you might...

    Active and Passive Obedience of Christ

    "If we are to be reconciled to God, we need more than forgiveness for breaking His law. We also require the righteousness of One who has kept God’s law perfectly. Jesus’ active obedience is His perfect obedience to God’s law. Jesus’ passive obedience is His paying the penalty for our failure to...

    Hello BB1956, actually, that has been the interpretation of the historic Christian Church (the entirety of it, that is, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant) for 2,000+ years now. I will grant that we bicker and fight about MANY different things (oft times ad infinitum ad nauseam, sadly, or so it...

    How to trust God has your best interests and not lose faith?

    Hello SJFaith, first off (since I see that you are a new member), welcome to CF :wave As far as the problem that you're having (both with finding the right man, and with God), my first question is, where are you looking to find these men (the ones that are abusing you mentally and emotionally...

    Sin - how do I stop?

    Hello Questor, first off, since I see that you are pretty new around here, welcome to CF 🙂 As far as your ongoing struggle with sin goes, here are some of the things that help me in the midst of this battle (the following assumes that you are indeed a true believer, and it sounds as if you...

    Hmmm, you said (that Luther said) that Jesus didn't die on the Cross. You also mentioned that Luther rejected the "holy sacrifice" of Christ. Finally, you seem to be contrasting the Lord's death on the Cross with the "eternal sacrifice" of Christ :thinking Please elaborate, because I don't...

    Hello again Don, I'm confused by your statement. Are you saying of Luther that he did not believe that Christ was crucified? If so, what reason(s)/evidence do you have for believing that? Thanks :) --David

    Hi Don, the earliest authentically Rosicrucianism writings come from the 17th century. Luther was born in the late 15th Century and, although he lived a relatively long life for someone who so many in power were trying to murder, he didn't live that long 😉 As far as what Rosicrucians believe...

    Original Sin

    Hi Levi (LeviR), those are great examples that seem, at least to me, to support the church's understanding/teaching about what the Bible normally means by "the flesh". These are, in point of fact, some of the verses/passages that the church (her pastors/theologians/etc., that is) turns to...

    Original Sin

    Hello again Levi, if that's really true, that the church's understanding of what "the flesh" is in this case is wrong, then we do indeed have a problem 😳 So, please elaborate a bit on this for us by giving us a couple of Biblical examples that show us the Scriptural conflicts/contradictions...

    How Can We Be Sure?

    Hello Walter and Debbie (WalterandDebbie), I had forgotten about making this thread last year, so first off, thank you for finding it and posting to it :woot That passage from 2 Corinthians, though not a typical go-to passage for assurance (and practical ways of obtaining it...

    Original Sin

    Hello LeviR et al, our body's flesh is not sinful, nor is dirt for that matter. In fact, when dirt does what it is supposed to do (which it always does 😉) it not only is not sinful, it is holy (in a very real sense) because it's doing exactly what God made it to do. The Gnostics and several...

    Hello Levi, I'm not sure who you are agreeing with about that 🤔 (as I literally know of no one who does, nor of any church, not even at the farthest reaches of the pale of Christian orthodoxy). That said, why do 'you' believe this about Him? What led you to this conclusion, IOW? Thanks 🙂 Also...

    Hello Hawkman, from someone at "Ask Ligonier", here is the answer to your question. That's an excellent question, and it's one that has been asked by many throughout the history of the church. The term "sinful nature" is often used to describe the condition of humanity after the fall of Adam...

    Original Sin

    Hi Hawkman, that is an excellent question. Thank you for pointing it out. Once fallen, he and our first mother became something that they had never been before, sinners, but that's not how God created them (so saying that they had a sinful "nature" wouldn't be true, unless there is another...
