  • 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

    John Calvin murdered?

    Some of those bones get caught in my throat..think I'll select another dish. It's kind of tough being baptist in that we've only technically been around for what..300 years? Maybe not a lot of depth historically to work with.

    Is it ok if the person uses it as a force of good? Sort of a civil punishment, use whatever money to cover court costs and give away the rest? Foreordained or fatalism....at some point it becomes a little wavy..

    John Calvin murdered?

    Yeah, yeah they are for this discussion. Not all anabaptists were pacifist amish/meenonite types. But they were amazingly similar, especially regarding baptism and church polity.

    Irony. Some would say the same thing about voting and going war:D:wave: After all it is meant to be; why be an obstruction? Anyhow litigation seems to be the only recourse these days when dealing with inept medical doctors...unless of course the doctor isn't responsible for cutting off...

    John Calvin murdered?

    He's the same as Luther and Zwingli and the Catholic Popes ~ they considered us (baptists, though back then we would be classified as anabaptists) as heretics since we practiced believer's baptism. Why would I read from someone that thinks we're heretics? Works fine for the Presbyterians and...

    John Calvin murdered?

    Be advised there are some that believe Calvin could do no wrong and probably should be listed among the Apostles^_^

    question for baptists

    I love the "Patron Saint Rick Warren" thing :D :D There are so many different baptist churches and so many differences within each subsect of baptist labels that you gotta walk into the door and see what they're like.

    When I see the blood.

    I'm a little dense (obviously)~~what would be a "mystical understanding", something like visions or "voices from heaven" sort of thing?

    Today's evangelicals are yesterday's Pharisees

    When I see the blood.

    Is there room for anything mystical in Baptist theology or is everything pretty much an academic/scholastic cut-and-dried all-figured-out doctrinal treatise? Is there any mystery left to it?
