  • 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.

    the death penalty

    PaladinValer, I wrote something in response to onen of your posts and it was less than stellar in the way that I handled it. Badly done on my part. I wanted to here and now apologize to you and let you know it won't happen again, to you or anyone. While we disagree, I still offer peace.

    All this hype about Mary...what about Joseph?

    Various ways, I suppose -- but that's another topic. The request was for a response to post #122. Have anything of sound mind and/or substance?

    All this hype about Mary...what about Joseph?

    Jesus came from God to the betrothed of Joseph.

    Mary, divine, or mundane?

    I was RC until I realized it was smoke and mirrors. I just wanted the truth. I found the Truth.

    Mary, divine, or mundane?

    Absolutely. I was able to use this information in a medical class and trounce the instructor. Funny. She was clearly pro-abort and had made that and a few other things clear about her beliefs. She's just finished teaching how the mother and 'fetus' could have two blood times and yet were...

    TO PASTORS/PREACHERS Re: Sin and Hell

    DeaconDean, that is exactly where I was going! Fantastic that you had that verse ready. Wish I'd thought of it. Yes, we need to clean up ourselves first before telling others how to clean. Jesus said to judge, but not as hypocrites to. So, a person who goes out and gets drunk on the weekend...

    TO PASTORS/PREACHERS Re: Sin and Hell

    While your protectiveness of Peaceful Dove is admirable, it is unnecessary in this case. I was not attacking her personally, directly, or singly. I was speaking of all Christians, the Body. I DO know that the Body needs to clean up. We're not following Christ closely enough. I can make...

    Mary, divine, or mundane?

    I'm assuming you're talking to me? Could you try to put the name of the person you're quoting just to make it certain in the future? Thanks in advance. Am I Nestorian? Never heard of "those" guys. Nah, I'm just plain, ole, regular, former-RCCer, Bible believing, Jesus trust Christian...

    TO PASTORS/PREACHERS Re: Sin and Hell

    Maybe we need to be cleaning our own house before we go to anyone else. I feel called to talk to other Christians or those who say they are when I hear false or faulty doctrine. If we can't get it right, we shouldn't be screwing up others.

    All this hype about Mary...what about Joseph?

    They behaved EXACTLY like people with other kids. If not, then they were terrible, lousy parents to lose track of only one single kid! Maybe the story doesn't mention the other kids like John didn't mention Mary's supposed assumption, Axiom! :P

    BINGO! Maybe you'll get thru to them.
