  • 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.

    Losing faith?

    Got a second? Recently, I dont know, I guess i've been going through a fall-out. For whatever reason, I just guess I havent been as strong in my faith in Christ anymore. I've started to read into atheistic and other non-theist forms of reason, and, honestly, some of it make sense. What if...

    Few Questions...

    Few questions if you dont mind: 1. I know at one point Jesus was Jewish, but did he die a Jew? It appears that if I remember correctly he condemened them at one point. 2. I play football, so we go wild in terms of what we say in the locker rooms. Lets hypathetically say I was disrespectful...

    Well, in a perfect world if he had gained the support of the entire earths populus, then he would have achieved the full justification of man kind. However, realistically, yes, he's achieved full justification. -- Eric
