  • 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.

You can easily confirm it yourself by reading actual history.

The usual go-to for history deniers is to claim that we can't trust the historical sources because they were written by Roman Catholics. Since in these contexts the existence of the Orthodox is an inconvenient reality, everything has to be subsumed into "Roman Catholicism" in a singular conspiracy theory. History is, therefore, untrustworthy; except where the historical record can be deliberately misunderstood to conform to the historical revisionist's fiction.

All historical sources that disagree with the revisionist must be rejected.
All historical sources that can be taken out of context, or cherry-picked are useful to promote the revisionist agenda.

Because the conclusion is determined already, there is no honest pursuit of truth. If I decide on the conclusion that the earth is flat, then all evidence contrary must be rejected; and my entire methodology is already pre-determined to aimed at achieving my predetermined conclusion. It's the same thing here. The conclusion is already determined, and all evidence contrary must be rejected; and therefore I can never honestly pursue what is true, I can only spin things to attain my desired result.

Truth is, therefore, entirely irrelevant; what matters is an Orwellian devotion to the will of the Party.

On what day do you think the crucifixion took place?
I don't know. I agree with those who say there were two Sabbaths that week, one being the "high Sabbath":

“Therefore, because it was the Preparation [Day], that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.” (Joh 19:31 NKJV)

I don't think that the day matters much when compared with the glorious truths of our Saviour's death for sinners, and His resurrection.
