  • 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.

    A few questions about liberal denominations...

    Thanks both of you. :) I actually emailed a few local churches earlier in the week specifically asking if they accept gays and lesbians, as worshipers and/or members. I have yet to hear back from any of them. :sigh:

    A few questions about liberal denominations...

    I hope you don't mind. I am a reluctant agnostic - I want to believe in God, really. I am wondering - what do most liberal denominations believe about the Bible? Do they view it as divinely inspired but written by man and therefore containing errors? Do any liberal denominations view it as...

    Question

    No, I wouldn't say that. I am that kind of person. For me it's mostly insecurity and social anxiety that prevents me from reaching out.

    Coming to Christianity even though it doesn't make sense?

    Gracia, did you ever worry about your mental health? I mean no offense to anyone, but this "pull" has me questioning mine. There's a verse in one of my favorite songs: It's the middle of the night near the Indiana line I'm pulling in a Christian station. The signal's crystal clear but I...

    Are there any good liberal/progressive apologetics resources?

    I posted this question in the sticky thread for non-Christians, but I don't know how often people go in there.

    Why do women carry purses?

    Women's pants often don't have good deep pockets like men's do. Unfortunately.

    What are some good liberal apologetic resources? Is there such a thing?

    Coming to Christianity even though it doesn't make sense?

    Where to start? None of it makes sense. God punishing all mankind for the "sin" of Adam and Eve. All the Biblical atrocities committed by God (flood, plagues, etc.). The various contradictions in the Bible. Jesus, who is really God in human form, being a sort of human sacrifice for the "sins" of...
