  • 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.

    No, I am questioning your definition of free will. No reasonable definition of free will would include the ability to instantiate a logical contradiction. I am curious why you think it would.

    God's foreknowledge and free will

    So true free will requires the ability to instantiate logical contradictions? That's an interesting viewpoint.

    No, God will expect whatever it is you choose.

    God's foreknowledge and free will

    I disagree. Knowing an outcome does not mean it MUST happen, merely that it does happen.
