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.

I found all of the jokes to be funny, but I particularly like this one. I guess a Calvinist would say that I believe in free will because I have no choice but to believe in it.

When Jesus failed to heal

A great article and question. the only thing I would add is that perhaps the first step to faith was a vision and not partial sight. As the man saw the vision (angels?) or even partial sight, it gave him additional faith. So the second time Jesus laid his hands on him the faith was there and the healing was complete.
Here is another source that helps describe the city, why Jesus had to led him out, and what really was the context. Basically Jesus was not spitting on the man, but may have used spit, to spit on the curse of blindness.

The Miracle of Spit and Sight — Bob Yandian Ministries
Jesus separated the man from the unbelief of the city. Jesus did not want snide remarks and insults to be hurled at this man who was young in faith. Jesus could heal in the midst of unbelief, but this man could not maintain his healing surrounded by the ridicule of the city in wh

How wide and long and HIGH and DEEP is the love of Christ
- By tonychanyt

God's love is exalted. Psalm 103:
Height and depth emphasized on the vertical dimension of love. Romans 8:
Ephesians 3:
Mathematically, breadth and length run along two independent axes.
Height and depth run along the same axis of dimension. Height went up from the plane generated by breadth and length. Depth went down. The love of Christ dwells deeply in our hearts (v 17); also, his love is exalted high above the earth.
The breadth, length, height, and depth is a poetic way of describing the all-encompassing nature of Christ's love. It reaches every possible dimension of human existence and beyond, emphasizing its limitless and transformative power in the lives of believers.
Height and depth emphasized on the vertical dimension of love. Romans 8:
Jesus' love reaches the lowest depth to raise us high, e.g., from depression to joy.
Well, that settles it. I’m a heretic and anathema.
