  • 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.

    Republicans assert dominance in the bedroom

    I remain mystified at how anyone could call themselves both Christian and Republican. I just cannot imagine Jesus in the GOP. REgardless, I doubt this lady had many christians in her own little personal sexual study. But I hope you feel better about yourself, if you need that for your...

    ATonement?

    Actually it is inconsistent. Either Jesus stops satan and allows direct communication with human and God OR Jesus paid the penalty for your sins that you (and not Satan) are responsible for the penalty.. By the way my analysis is a fairly standard understanding of the atonement. But once...

    ATonement?

    I agree, most protestants do beleive in a role for Satan. Yet, he is absengt from any mention in most core doctrines and is completely absent in a explaination of what was accomplished in the death and ressurection of Jesus. Yet, when a bad guy is needed, Satan shows up provoking sin and...

    ATonement?

    Saying this is inconsistent with your previous assertion that Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins. These are very tangible concept you (and most prostestant Christians) use like "pay," "penalty," "defeated," "your sins" Satan has no mention or role in the most common assertions about...

    ATonement?

    This view of Satan seems to me to be inconsistent with a view that Jesus death and resurrection was effectively a paid penalty for your sins. I dont think you could logically connect the dots of what you are claiming about satan and what your verses suggest you believe about atonement. Either...

    What’s Become of Americans?

    WELL, some of us did speek out, BUT we were drowned out by a largely conservfative and jaded and all to often Christian majority! The truth finds its way back to dominance eventually though.

    Bugging me like you can't imagine: Burden of Proof?

    I understand this is hyperbole, but can u prove 50.1%? you probably could as conservatives have a tendency to make unreasonable statements (like above) that they can not substantiate. Ill give you an example. The Bible is the inerrant word of God. Now that squarely lands the burden of proof...

    ATonement?

    most christians believe in satan and think he plays a large role in there supernatural world and suppose he has a role in the death and rez story-- yet for most protestant he doesn't-- thus most Christians have a big role and no context for the satan thing-- as he is responsible for any "doubt"...

    Top court rules against police in search case

    I doubt it. If you were disenfranchised or disavowed or discredited or had empathy for those like this, you might feel differently. As well, I'll venture a guess here -- Ill bet you are NOt a minority. Im always stunned to see how christians take the side of atuhority against the down...
