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.

Social deconstructionism is a world ideology. It is basically the idea that humans and not God construct what is real and the truth. Using human ideas and interpretations on how society and the world is ordered.
It began with the Reformation and Enlightenment and progressed into postmodernism. The idea that everything can be questioned and there are no objective truths and that truth is a personal or group reality through experience and self reference.
Along the way and especially with the cultural revolutions of the 60's and 70's has led to the critical theories which are based on social deconstruction and reimaging everything including the church and bible.
So its more about the world coming into the church rather than the church instagating such ideas. Which in itself is a sign of bad fruit when we cannot tell the difference between the world and Christs church.
You often hear even those who are not Christian and live in the world claim to be Christian. Simply just having a religious denomination on your birth certificate somehow qualifies people as Christian. Similar to how just putting a gender on a piece of paper somehow makes you that gender.
Words have lost all meaning and it seems new meanings are being made which become the reality. Just like in how art became the new reality now words and narratives are the new reality.
I think when it gets to the point where words don't match actions and reality people begin to notice and I think this is where we are at. Or at least people are now beginning to see through the unrelaity and lies.
For Christians I think this will be a testing time. Gods spirit will reveal the truth and call for Christians to reprove their faith. As we see now those standing for Christs truth are being attacked because there is a clear destinction between Christs church and the world. This is the sorting of the wheat from the chaff.
The many denominations that have gradually developed and especially today where it seems new denominations are being created similar to how new identities such as gender and in the culture wars. Which shows that this is a worldly idea coming into the church.
But it also seems that there is a spiritual revival happening at the same time as a result of all the lies and chaos and people, especially young people are coming into the church and turning to God as a result of the bad examples.
I think Christs spirit will rise and people will begin to unite perhaps by denominations coming together or within denominations or with new groups returning to the fundemental teachings and truths which were displayed in the early church.
They will increasingly be destinguished from the world and have a common and unified mind and spirit which the world will hate including the church. Even to the point where Christians will be tested and persecuted for Christ sake. When this happens then there will be no ambiguity as it will either be for Christ or for the world.
