  • 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.

    Crossing yourself

    At my church I see about half of the congregation do it. I usually do it when I pray before I go to bed. Also, Martin Luther says to do it in the Small Catechism. It's also in the Lutheran Service Book.

    A Question to the Creationists

    1) No. As long as you believe that Jesus died for you, you will go to Heaven. 2) Jesus was speaking metaphorically. But the Bible makes it clear that the Creation story is a literal, factual report. 3) No.

    Four angels at the four corners of the earth?

    Revelations is highly symbolic. The "four corners of the Earth" means encompassing the entire Earth, from North, South, East, and West. And remember, Isaiah mentions "the circle of the Earth".

    Noah's Ark

    Well first of all it was only land animals, so that does not include aquatic life, amphibians, birds, etc. And then when the Bible says "kinds" it most likely did not mean every species, rather every genus. (For example a generic dog from which all breeds of dog come from). And of the...
