  • 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.

Apologist Wes Huff recently responded to an influencer who claimed that the Bible was created hundreds of years after the time of Jesus “by a pagan emperor for political reasons.” In a post on Instagram, Adam Allred made a series of unorthodox claims about Jesus, Christianity, and the Bible.

“The Bible was literally voted on by a bunch of politicians and bishops in a room deciding what made the cut and what didn’t out of mounds of texts, centuries after the fact,” Allred said. “That’s like building your spiritual life around the minutes of a corporate board meeting.”

“This reference to a pagan emperor who supposedly compiled the books of the Bible,” said Huff in his response, “I only have to assume is referring to Constantine and the Council of Nicea. But there are some truly serious problems with this.”

It seems like every generation of Protestants (sorry, my Protestant brethren) has their "enlightened critics of how the Catholic Church (along with its Eastern counterpart, the Orthodox Church) has corrupted Christianity. Just like the same repetitive questions that come up here on the Christian Forum, people need to do a little bit more investigating before they make unsubstantiated criticisms about the Catholic Church that have been debunked many times over. Wes Huff has been known to make quite a few mistakes in his research and presentations. He really isn't a very good reliable source.

Someday, we will be all happily together in the same Church then, look out world God's unified Church will be a loving and wiser Church to be reckoned with.
