  • 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.

    Eastern Orthodox view on Salvation?

    This thread has veered off in a strange direction. Anyways, people are really trying to prove everything with Scripture on here and that just seems a gross misuse of Scripture. If all of Christian Tradition or the teachings of Christ were contained inside of Scripture then the writings would...

    I think the Lord is pushing me towards Eastern Orthodoxy

    My only thing about the missionary zeal is that it is a whole lot harder to go and evangelize when it is not a quick prayer and then you move on. That is why I find it strange when people try to compare the two styles of Missions between what Orthodox Churches do and what Protestant churches do...

    OO vs. EO

    In our Church, the EO to be more specific, an OO person can be admitted through Confession of Faith alone while a RC person has to be Chrismated on their forehead. The main reason for this is that greater strides have been made towards unification with the OO than with the RCC. The other thing I...
