  • 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.

    Just saying, "Hello"

    I see! Gotta keep up the quota or else....... Just what DOES happen if it gets to 0%? One step closer, each day, to God; Learning, though oft on roads rough trod. With lessons sharp as jagged rock, I yearn for safety of hallowed dock. But one day soon, my learning done, I'll see my Saviour...

    Just saying, "Hello"

    You all seem like a friendly group of people. Since I'm new here, could someone please explain the "health" thing? Mine is at 32%, and I don't know if that means I'm :sick:, :sleep: , or in a coma and don't know it yet! Thanks

    Glad LCMS is around!

    Thank you so much, LilLamb. It was many years ago when I went through Catechism, and am going to go back through and study it all again!

    Glad LCMS is around!

    I don't remember being taught in Catechism class that the communion wafer WAS Christ's body and the wine WAS his blood. Did I miss something? I went to a Catholic church fairly frequently with a friend, and that was taught there, but I don't remember it being in the Lutheran church.

    Just saying, "Hello"

    Didn't know if it was allright to post this here, so please forgive me if I'm out of line. I am a member of the LCMS, have been since I was 13, but am not a practicing member. When I was 27, I joined the Mennonite church (is that a no-no to bring up another denom in here?:cool: ) I look forward...

    Do You Stay Or Go?

    Hunterkirk - Thanks for the link to that new site. I'm new here, and was a little concerned when one of the first posts I read was about the restructuring of these boards. I'll stick around, I'm mostly reading and learning the place, anyway.
