  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    I don't think you're saying anything different. That what cannot accomplish the glory of God is a deprivation of His glory. That is like those who call Jesus a mere wise man, or a prophet, but not God. They are diminishing His glory. Or those who call Him a god among gods. They are diminishing...

    What good have you gotten from Christians forums?

    I didn't mean to imply I'm having a bad time or that there is something about which to be sorry. I just registered. I gave it a few days and some experiments as posts and comments and chats. Now I want to ask what others have found. It's just part of how I learn. Thanks for the kind words.

    Similar to Aquinas

    Thomas Aquinas said about his own work that it was as straw. He built with straw and it burned up in the testing fire. That is enough reason not to take his work for reference. However I respected his method and approach. If that was just a cultural byproduct of his times then that is even...

    What good have you gotten from Christians forums?

    The question is about Christian forums in general. It can also be answered specifically about this site. I've been looking and thinking about it. I yet have not confirmed a good thing that it brings. If you have, please tell me.

    Thanks for making your representation for the catholic side of things. If the plato/aristotle divide can be considered old hat, then I figure the protestant/catholic divide can also be considered old hat. May I explain my post further? It seems I'm not going to find what I'm seeking, because it...

    Similar to Aquinas

    Aquinas wrote comprehensively and employed both platonism and artistotelianism. Is there a protestant theologian who wrote comprehensively and employed both platonism and aristotelianism? The specific similarity in question is that good-faith attitude towards questions (even seeming...

    Answer the Question with a Question (6)

    Who wants to know what it feels like to scrape their shredded back upon the splinters of a cross, pushing themselves up just to breathe? Or just to speak? Or to say "forgive them. They know not what they do"? Who wants to know the Lord who went there so you never do? Who wants to praise Jesus...

    Answer the Question with a Question (6)

    What grates better than the scourging upon the adopted children of God the Heavenly Father (hallowed be His name), who alone is wise, and whose Word by the Spirit is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the...
