  • 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.

    No. I rarely watch tv. The PBM is trying to cut back on food consumption? (That's a nice way of saying you're on a diet) LOL. I am! (Pray for my family during this time, because someone may not make it until September)

    Questions about Methodist

    Hey Dana :wave: I don't know if you are looking for personal opinions or an actual explanation, but Wesley gave an excellent definition to the term "Methodist" http://gbgm-umc.org/umhistory/wesley/charmeth.stm I have no idea.

    United Methodists and Holy Communion

    I believe both sacraments (baptism and the Lord's Supper) are a means of Grace by which God works in us. I believe God strengthens us and confirms our faith in Him through such means. ~~ My response makes no sense to your question. Just ignore it. :/

    Commercials

    That was a major concern of mine. I think it can be very misleading for those who do not understand the meaning behind it. As it was explained to me by someone in communications at the UMC main website, the open-mind is to present us with open-minds concerning race, economic status, gender...

    Differences Between Methodists and Nazarenes?

    No offense, but I did not say you did. In the Methodist church, we are taught that sanctification is a process that begins when we are born again. Through the enabling of the Holy Spirit we grow and mature, dying to self/sin, and become more alive in God. I'm not sure I understand what you...
