  • 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.

    John 3:1-15

    I was reading Jesus conversation with Nicodemus in John 3:1-15, this is how I interpret it. Would you say I interpret it wrong?

    They are around you, perhaps you value things that isn't that important to you when it comes down to it.

    Guys - Are YOU a handyman?

    Ehm no I wouldn't call myself a handy man, there are things you mentioned I can do ofc. As I work in construction. But a handy man to me is someone who find it to be in their interest in fixing stuff on their own. I can give you an example, my old computer broke down and didn't want to start...

    Neither a theist nor an atheist

    Why do you think one has to be either athiest or theist? I have a picture in my room which I would say I know is depicting a girl and an airplane. Would belief be involved here? Elaborate please. Then I'm very curious to hear how you explain me. Why do you think I say I don't believe...

    Neither a theist nor an atheist

    It's not a yes or no question, I have an conclusion not an opinion on subject. To be honest I don't think agnostic and atheist blend very well, but I get you. A agnostic conclusion and then for som reason you got an opinion. I don't think I have one though.

    Neither a theist nor an atheist

    You do say one does need belief on the subject spoken, that's not so. One who's gnostic for example do not need belief as already knowing. Neither does an agnostic have belief on subject.

    Neither a theist nor an atheist

    You don't get my point what so ever, I'm agnostic and I do not have a second statement which is contradicting my first. Of relevance to topic and hes answer. I did answer your question, my answer "I have no answer, as I don't believe anything on your question". So I do certainly not share...

    Neither a theist nor an atheist

    No. Only if a person answers no you got an athiest, for sure.

    Neither a theist nor an atheist

    That is incorrect, agnostic nor gnostic needs a statement of belief to one way or another.

    Why be a atheist instead of a agnostic?

    I indentify myself as agnostic and do lack belief in a god or several. And I do disagree with the people here saying "I believe there's no god(s)" and claim to be agnostic. It does contradict your knowledge statement.

    Would you recognize the words of God?

    Would he really be the vine if he was standing next to a vine, putting hes hand on it and said those words? I'm sorry but I have to disagree with your way of thinking here, I see the last supper somewhat diffrent, as told. I find it to be inaccurate by saying the bread is hes ACTUAL body, the...

    How Do You Stop Sin?

    Resisting sin would be more accurate as topic. As far as stopping sin you have aknowledge sin and accepting it to be wrong, then be yourself at all times.

    Do different people bring out a different personality from you?

    I think it's common that people feel the need to act to fit in. I would recommend everyone to be themselves at all times as being appreciated for who you are is what truly matters. It's a challenge, sure.

    Importance of age

    You say probably, so it's safe to say you're not closed? It's more like you thinking it's not very likly for you to find someone fitting in the age of 27 and above. I didnt say older though, I said too old. ;) Taking girls around my age for instance, I can find beutiful things about em sure...

    Would you recognize the words of God?

    Well, I don't see any diffrence in vine, bread or wine. So I do think you're taking it literal when saying, "the bread is His actual body and the wine His actual blood.". He was a messanger of god, not bread nor wine. I do think you understand it's not meant literal, just as vine. A mere...
