  • 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 Problem of Evil

    that's why I began with the marriage analogy Heaven is described as a wedding banquet the Church is his bride. God does tell us things that can be comparable to human experience so that even though we can't fully understand him because of our limits we can still have some understanding on...

    The Problem of Evil

    no one on earth is perfect and while this system is in play we Christians still live in a corrupted form but we know this and can accept that we are not perfect that is why we need the grace God has given us in Jesus but not achieving perfection does not mean not striving to do what we should...

    The Problem of Evil

    i'm not quite sure what you mean. Christians should be changing into the image of Jesus we should willing obey him and his teachings and we should be humble to admit when we are wrong the difference between atheists and christians is that we will admit that we are in need of jesus and that we...

    Why would God create a flawed creation?

    Jeremiah 20:7 is Jeremiah was saying how he felt because of the persecutions he was facing but God never promised a life of no pain he promised to be with us in the midst of pain. As for the other two scriptures I don't find it easy to write so my thought on this matter are the same as this link...

    Why would God create a flawed creation?

    you are making a presumption that there was another way that would be better than this way without even having the kind of knowledge it would take to even know if that is a possibility. If you say to me that the God of the Christian is all powerful and all knowing I will tell you that scripture...

If you wish to say that there isn't sufficient evidence for God then that...

    Reconciling a violent God with "God is love"

    God gave them 300 years to repent. How long would you let the evil deeds go on for? Do you have patience when you have been wronged. Do you see outside the constraints of time to know when to intervene. Do you think you can even speak of such things without this knowledge. Do you have any...

    How is God just?

    ok I think I have misread what you are saying can we start from scratch with you giving me your understanding on why God fails to be just please. Or are you asking for proof as to God being just. I am not very intellectual so you may need to be patient with me. Also just for information sake...

    How is God just?

    please correct me if I am wrong but are you saying that God showing mercy through the cross means that he is not just because he can't be both at the same time? Also are you saying that you don't think that everyone is offered salvation
