  • 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.

    Evolution and christanity.

    I will just humbly say that I don't believe that my life's goals and work are going to be in the area of science, and hope to serve the Lord in my family, my church, and in my career(non-science). God is not here to prove atheists wrong, He lives in us and lives in the Church to save the lost...

    Quote on pro-birth vs. pro-life

    Stepping out of the abortion debate, and the issue in itself, I believe the world should look at Christians and see more of certain things, like love for the poor, compassion, social justice. To see the truth, the righteousness, the abstinence from sin- without the love and the heart, is falling...

    Intro to Christianity – John 1:1-18

    Hey Dialogist, great stuff! I'm glad you enjoyed the post, and thanks for your thoughts. The stuff about the unity/diversity/community in the Trinity I heard from pastor Tim Keller, who has read a great deal of classic Christian literature. I'm glad we agree on so much, it's reassuring and makes...

    Quote on pro-birth vs. pro-life

    "The fact of the matter is that they're all in contention with something else which is also a moral value and also equally important unless you put it completely out of your mind or your heart. For instance, let's look at the abortion question. I'm opposed to abortion. But I do not believe that...

    Obama not the Antichrist, Debunker finds

    I think a key sign that this world is ready for the antichrist is when people are not looking for him. Let's just be sure to remain faithful, continuing in love and good deeds. And I, for one, think President Obama has been a decent President, and one of the defining things about his presidency...

    Which Protestant Body...

    I believe that God's church is composed of people who would disagree on several theological subjects. We are commanded in the new testament not to give too much emphasis on these. "nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship...

    ESV Study Bible?

    ESV is my favorite translation, I like that it is word-for-word style interpretation, and i like some of the word choices they use. I have a faux leather cover, small print, and I like it. I generally don't like carrying a full size Bible, but to each his own.

    HI

    Hey, welcome. It's a tough burden to try and love misguided believers while resisting deceivers and false teachers. Many times they look the same.

    A Biblical Look at Depression – Intro to Lamentations

    Hi friends. I've written a post about depression. It's a very serious topic, and I feel that it isn't discussed enough. I talk about how depression is often a consequence of loving, and how it can be a means through which we strengthen our faith and receive blessing. My heart for anyone who...
