  • 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.

    Depiction of Jesus and God in the media

    Hi, I just need some clarifications on some things, to do with God and Jesus as shown in the media. In many shows, like the Simpsons, you have visual depictions of God. Is this allowed in Christianity, or is it like one of those things that don't matter? They also show Jesus, is this...

    Need help clearing some possible misconceptions

    1) Ah cool. I'm understanding it better now, thanks. The New Testament is written by the disciples of Jesus, then how is it the divine word of God? I also heard the Bible has been changed after the New Testament, is that true also? If the New Testament was written by the disciples, does that not...

But they're a good bunch most of the time. Again, thanks and I'll take you up on that. Although knowing about Christianity most of my...
