  • 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.

It's irrelevant as far as being in a place of judgment over another, something none of us are entitled to do.

-CryptoLutheran

You have an obligation to judge all things Spiritual; to prove it all out according to the word of God. How else will you know what line of reasoning to follow? You also have an obligation to be right, people depend upon you, and that can only be if your relationship to God is, right.

As for your assertion that the Word(Logos) had a form(?!) That is a direct contradiction of the Messiah's statement that God is Spirit (Jn.4:24) and therefore has no coporeal form?! When the Bible declares that 'no man can see God and live' it is because there is no corporeal form to see but also because for a finite creature to come into direct contact with God as non-corporeal Absolute Reality would utterly destoy him.

[Elementary stuff here]

"Who, [the Word, the second Person of the Trinity] being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and [He, the Word] took upon him the form of a servant, and [He, the Word] was made in the likeness of men" Philippians 2:6-7 (KJV)

Enter Jesus Christ!
