  • 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.

    On Christianity, Judaism and the influence of other religions.

    Honest question: There are terms in the Bible that show they were clearly adopted from other faiths of the time that were incorporated into Judaism. For example Mal 4:1 "the sun of righteousness" - that was a known title of the Egyptian God Ra. "El" was Canaanite for a deity. Archaeologists...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    I would suggest that first of all, salvation is not a "feeling". Lots of people have no "salvation experience" and go on to serve God, with their lives being changed. Second, the Bible says that God does not want people to perish. 2Pet 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as...
