  • 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.

    Marriage

    I don't think not getting married in a church is a big deal at all - a church isn't a building, but the congregation within it, so the stones and mortar aren't what's important at all. The early Christians didn't have mahusive cathedrals or picturesque chapels, the worshipped where ever, because...

    Rape in the Bible 2 (the same can be read in the Ethics and Morality forum.)

    OP - As Christian's we follow the teachings of Jesus - and he sort of revamped a lot of the Old Testament. Your example is parallel to his treatment of the adulteress woman, he forgave her sins. If this woman was actually guilty of something, where as rape victim is guiltless, we can assume that...

    Could You Stand Strong?

    I couldn't say until i was in that situation...yeah, it'd be a tough decision. I have the base human instinct of wanting to save my life, but i've never denied my faith, and i think i'll find it hard to.

    Is it moral?

    I guess it's difficult to find two protestants who agree because it's a wide term for a huge number of denominations. I think when deciding how to act or think on moral issues not mentioned in the bible, you have to look at other big issues, and put it into to context. I find it difficult to...

    The mystery of numbers

    Numbers are numbers...like words are words. You can make beautiful things out of words, but there's nothing more to them...i agree..."red alert". Seems too superstitous to me.

    Can you be a Christian without going to Church?

    I don't think church is a must...a lot of people can't make it to church, they're house-bound, there are no churches in their country, they're trapped in prison without a chaplaincy. That's not what makes us a Christian, but it's really important to me in my Christian walk, and i'm sure it's...

    Can I Have Sex?

    I accept Paul's take on sex...it's use isn't only for reproduction, but also as a beautiful expression between husband and wife, that also serves to guard against lust and adultery.
