  • 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.

Calvinism, explained.

Those that like your garbage.
Can't be me cause I know you don't use your mind.

How do Calvinists justify this behavior? Do you just say he is not one of us?

Did not his Calvinist beliefs bring him to this point?

Sure, they believe everything is predestined; therefore, their own doctrine has him saying that.
Sure, he was predestined to say that, but in his heart and mind there were thoughts, feelings, and intentions. The teachings of Calvinism don't lead one to act rude--anyone can rude.

I'm like filthy rags that surrenders to God's Grace.
I know I'm more worthless than I think.
Least I don't boast like most do here.

Your boasting of your filthiness and worthlessness.
