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 would be best if you ask the farmer.
If the farmer is guiding the process but only the horse could be seen pulling the plow, would the horse be plowing the field?

Lets review this hypothetical.
We have a field, we have a plow, we have a horse and we have a farmer. You state, you can see the horse pulling the plow and the farmer is aiding the horse, but we can't see the farmer.
Why can't we see the farmer? And if we can't see him, how do you know he is guiding the process?

As Chuck Norris put it:
Don't concentrate on the finger, or you'll miss all that Heavenly glory.
The analogy is an excellent one, but if you just concentrate on the farmer, you'll miss how verbal plenary inspiration works.
Parables are a powerful way of learning, but not if you don't focus on the right parts.

Where do you draw the line though?
At the finger?
If so, there's much more to reality than meets the eye:[VERSE=2 Kings 6:17,KJV]And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.[/VERSE]
