I'll discuss things with Agnostics, Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, whoever. IMO, when Christ came it was to open up the way to God for the entire world.....not just for the few believers within the 31% for whom Christianity is their 'native' religion. I believe that there will be multitudes...

I did a BibleGateway search through the Epistles on the word ‘avoid’ in order to find the verse re marital fidelity that I half remembered. It was interesting that the word also only occurred in three other places in Romans, Timothy, and Titus and each seemed to me to be very pertinent to a...

I mean ‘between you and God’ One thing that I feel strongly about is that both the question and the answer is ‘between you and God’ and ‘between me and God’, and ought not to be between you and me in terms of each telling the other how it should be. But that is how I feel and whether or...

An amalgumation of all the 'One anothers' from the Epistles. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Owe no man any thing, except to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. Let us not therefore judge one another any...

I came across a brilliant quotation that is so appropriate to Christian Forum Discussions yet it was from the lips of the Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman almost 200 years ago. He said: “Now, we allow ourselves publicly to canvass the most solemn truths in a careless or fiercely...

Taking scripture alone, it would seem that whilst what many Christians usually say about other religions is true of those who hear the call of the Gospel message of Christ's sacrificial atonement, those Christians really ought to lay alongside it the scriptural teaching that 'Faith in such as...

I think I am beginning to recover from a phase where I have been obsessed with a need to spread what I believe in respect of man's corruptive intervention in Christianity at all stages of history, 1st century onwards. Realisation that our Sovereign God works out his purpose by allowing such...

Why don't we all just face up to facts. We all know perfectly well (from the vast number of 'thus says the Word of God' denominations) that the 'Bible' says different things to different people. On my forum a member has just said (with reference to Christian Universal Reconciliation) that she...

Be my first thought every morning And my last thought every day And in between this vessel fill To think and act ‘Thy Way’ Then when to sleep my soul returns May the dreams upon my bed Reflect the wakened moments till My circle of life is led At every point Christ’s love to show. In all I say...

The Epistle to the Hebrews is a great summary of the change over from God’s Old Covenant to the New. In it we read that “there remaineth therefore a Rest unto the people of God” When Christ outlined the difference between the Old Covenant and the New in his Sermon on the Mount he took six...

It begins to look like God brought me to this site in order to fill my boots re Bullingerism. When the boots have been filled will it have been his purpose that I should become a Bullingerite or move on having become a more rounded Christian?

"They are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: But, In Isaac shall the seed be called. Therefore it is not they which are the children of the flesh who are the children of the real Israel: but it is the children of the...

Like it or not, lump it or protest, the fact remains that we live in a time of incredible denominational division of the Church of Christ. And that is exactly what was foretold by Christ in his parable of the mustard seed that grew into a great tree, the branches of which then ultimately (in...

This should put a cat amongst pigeons and get me a few minus marks. The Gospels were written by newly converted Jews to whom nothing existed much beyond Judaism, the Gospel Message, and the immediate surrounds to their Mediterranean horizon. In that context John wrote: “God so loved the...

Sorry to post this here but I can't get a 'Contact us' mail accepted. I wanted to know whether, in sending an Email message to other members, it really is prohibitted for me to idebntify myself by my username. If that really is so then what would be the odjective please. Mike...

Greetings to all at CBCF. I guess my lengthy testimonony is as good an intruction as any so here goes: I came to faith as a child over 60 years ago in a little chapel opposite my parent’s home. (They packed me off to the chapel’s Sunday school in order to get themselves a peaceful Sunday...
