  • 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.

    Why do men need to edit the word of god?

    Why has the Bible been canonized so many times? Isn't canonizing the Bible essentially editing the word of god? Why would an infallible being need to be edited by mere men?

    Creationalists?

    Good point, I should have clarified. When I say creationist, I mean, one believes God created the earth, plants, people and animals. I also assume a creationist would deny evolution.

    Creationalists?

    How many Christians are really creationists? Are they the minority, or the majority?

    I have always been a linguist, and ASL is just a new and exciting way for me to explore language. Right now my primary concern is finishing school, but my short term goal is to finish my newest Burkowski book. My husband and I have been married a year and a half. We knew each other for about...

    Is the Bible always correct?

    Drich, thanks so much on elaborating for me. I think your understanding of the Bible sounds very grounded, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me.

    About Ghosts...

    It is my understanding, those who are Christian believe in an external soul, one that will leave the body and join god in heaven after they've passed away. If you believe in an external soul, do you believe in ghosts? Like, a Casper-esque ghost?

    Is the Bible always correct?

    Salida, thank you for your insight. I am just curious though, are you saying the Bible is true, because the scriptures in the Bible declare it so? Or I am misunderstanding your post.

    Is the Bible always correct?

    So, the answer to the question can only be answered within a specific belief system? That does make sense, my question was pretty vague. Thanks for your answers. Would anyone mind sharing what they personally believe, and why. I'm very curious.

    Is the Bible always correct?

    I understand the Bible is the word of an infallible god, which would lead me to believe it is infallible word. Do Christians take into account the Bible was written by men, who are not infallible and can therefore contain mistakes?

    Hello All!

    Hi everyone, I joined this forum as my husband has expressed some interest in eventually finding god. It's very important to me to support him, and so I've joined this forum looking for some answers, and perhaps a better understanding of the Christian religion. I was raised Catholic, but...
