  • 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.

    I think the more you are maturing in Christ, the less you should be afraid of the stalker's way with words. Try to think back on how he used his speech successfully and figure out ways to combat it. It's not to say that you're planning to speak to him, but you want to be ready if he gets you...

    awkward situation

    If you honestly believe that its not for any specific reason but neglect, then you should just say something to her. But of course it should be with as much kindness and love as possible. Don't look at yourself as the bad person in this situation

    My Tattoo Idea - Any thoughts?

    No I am not saying that at all. I am saying that scripture has a context! It is indeed meant to last for eternity. But in the cases of those two previously mentioned passages, they were written for a specific reason in that specific time. It doesn't mean the passage is now obsolete, it just...

    My Tattoo Idea - Any thoughts?

    I didn't say only these prostitutes were required to do as Paul says. I am showing you the context of the passage. There are two parts to interpreting scripture: exegesis and hermeneutics. Yes I agree with you that that passage applied to all women, but in that time period. My main point was...
