  • 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.

    Calvinism and Lutheranism

    Calvinism and Lutheranism

    Thank you for your stats, David. I think you are right. Calvinism and Lutheranism apparently have the same impact nowadays in terms of members. However, Calvinism went to America and other continents while Lutheranism stayed in Europe. In Sydney, there are only a few Lutheran churches...

    Do Calvinists teach that one must struggle spiritually to inherit the Kingdom?

    I think the Bible tells us that there will be trials and temptations along the way. Why do you ask specifically calvinists?

    Billy Graham denies Jesus is the only Way

    Hi, I think BG is saying that, Jesus is the way/path. If you walk it, you will have eternal life. If you know it but not walk it, you will be damned. If you dunno Jesus, you will not walk the way/path. Whether you may be saved or damned, only God know. Does it sound better?
