  • 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.

    HAS GOD PERSONALLY CONTACTED YOU EVIDENCED BY MIRACLES?

    No. And that's all I have to say about that.

    Why did God create useless body parts?

    I can see the thread title coming soon...”Did Adam and Eve poop?” *edit* For the record my position would be yes, both pre and post fall. LOL!

    Faith? No Logical Proof.

    Sounds like you have reached the answer to one of the four questions every single human being eventually has to come up with answers for. 1) who am I? 2) Where did I come from? 3) What is my purpose? 4) What is my destiny? Since you have logically concluded that God exists, I would suggest...

    Peter the Rock / Protestant and Catholic

    This is correct. If one uses the Greek words in the text I think it clears up so much confusion. "Thou art Petros, and upon this petra I will build My church."

    Baptism

    It's really not. Those with their own agenda on the matter (not you) have made it so. Pretty much every place where water baptism is mentioned, especially in association with salvation, they cry "that's not water!", and they replace what is clearly water baptism with HS baptism to fit their...

    Baptism

    Ok, I see your point. What might it teach the sincere soul earnestly seeking the truth of God’s word who has not yet come to obey the Gospel? Anything?

    Baptism

    Thank you. And did you have a scripture(s) in mind regarding “the list of 7 Holy Spirit gifts sent to the saved”?

    Baptism

    Would you mind sharing the specific scripture(s) on which these statements are based? I have made the mistake of being presumptuous before and am trying not to be a repeat offender.

    Baptism

    Yes, agreed. And what does this particular event teach us?

    Oh it was ChristianForCats analogy.

    Baptism

    In my experience perceived contradictions come from two primary sources. 1) lack of knowledge about what scripture actually says, and 2) refusal to allow scriptures to say what they actually say. Agreed 100% on the fact that Jesus is not the author of confusion.

    Baptism

    I tend to use a "strict" definition of the term because I believe it to be one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented concepts in Christendom. I'll stay with your (American) football analogy, although I do it with some hesitation because people like to poke holes in analogies that weren't...

    Baptism

    I actually borrowed that turn of phrase from a couple I know who described their own experience in those terms. They were both pre-teens and had grown up being taught that baptism for the remission of sins is a requirement for salvation. Both were “baptized” at age 12. But in retrospect one said...

    Baptism

    Albion, I have grown to appreciate and respect your contributions to every discussion when our paths have crossed, whether we were in agreement or not. So I don't take this observation about how my comment landed with you lightly. Perhaps I should have left that last sentence out as I had made...

    Baptism

    Yes. Although I would clarify by adding that it should not be called baptism at all, at least not biblical baptism for the remission of sins. People are just getting babies wet, they are not baptizing them.
