    Pro-Life, Anti-Mask?

    Just pointing out that this is a fallacy (tu quoque fallacy: pretending as if not being concerned with women's health has anything to do with whether abortion is murder or not).

    Pro-Life, Anti-Mask?

    Not to mention that rape cases are probably like 1% of abortions or even less. I remember they opened an abortion mill in my town a few years ago, but the people who opened it eventually decided to close and repented, because their only clients were a bunch of old men bring their much younger...

    Pick up your cross and follow me.

    That's fine, but then don't be surprised when no one takes you seriously :D

    I wasn't trying to sound harsh, I think typed messages tend to sound snarky :D

    Authority, are you in it?

    I'm just curious - why do you interpret Jesus as saying that Peter is the rock upon which he will build his church? Do you think there is a different way of understanding this verse? And the Greek grammar in that verse is actually "whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and...

    Christians at odds with each other over the President

    You quoted my previous post but didn't really answer it at all? Except the point about Hitler.. again, I find it extremely unflattering and distasteful to even vaguely compare a president that was successfully in charge of the most free, prosperous, and powerful society on earth for four years...

    Time to get off Joe Biden's back

    I agree 100% with everything you said in this post.. but I was under the impression that he is starting to show signs of dementia, I never knew it was just a stutter. Amidst all the rumors of him being senile it made sense why he would sometimes say the weirdest things (you know, the thing). It...

    Christians at odds with each other over the President

    I doubt that there are many sincere Christians (who put their faith above their politics) that actively *support* Trump... But of course, someone like me would prefer him above Biden because I believe his party to be the lesser of the two evils. I'm not American though, so that doesn't mean...

    Pick up your cross and follow me.

    Well the greatest sign of a failed argument is inconsistency and double standards, and I'm afraid that this is characteristic of most inter-faith dialogues. Unless you can understand the Christian worldview from its own perspective, you will always be limited to scoffing and rhetoric, which will...

    Pro-Life, Anti-Mask?

    I'm sorry but that's not a very genuine response. Really, that is quite petty actually. As a Christian I am deeply affected on an emotional and spiritual level by the reality of lives lost. But what I absolutely despise about Democrat Covid rhetoric is that people take all those emotions into...

    Pro-Life, Anti-Mask?

    Oh make no mistake it's as much of a disaster in my country as it is in yours. We are a full-blown third world country with a massively corrupt and inefficient government. To be fair, we did have a lockdown early on which helped to slow the spread, but even our experts are admitting that it...

    Getting into heaven

    I recently read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, and he had an interesting thought surrounding loving your neighbour as yourself. It was something along the lines of our tendency to continue caring for ourselves, giving ourselves food, doing what we think is best for ourselves, even treating...

    Pro-Life, Anti-Mask?

    This thread has been quite all over the place but I'd like to comment on the original question specifically and just give one perspective... So I am pro-life, but still have a lot to learn on the topic, and I'm also vaguely anti-mask. Let me explain why: Regarding the pro-life issue. I believe...

    I think the person who defined "the flesh" as "natural desires and instincts" perhaps defined it too loosely. "The flesh" is rather our sinful nature and sinful desires and instincts, not just any natural inclination that we may have. The question regarding alcohol has already been answered...

    Getting into heaven

    What you are expressing is essentially "works-based" salvation. This view cannot be harmonized with the full canon of the New Testament Scriptures, neither with the teachings of Jesus nor with the teachings of Paul and others. The fundamental question is: Are we justified (made right with God)...

    Hello everyone :)

    Hi Ramon, I think this is probably not the right place on the forum to discuss this issue but I would definitely like to pursue this as a discussion. Accepting all religions as right violates the law of non-contradiction (the fabric of reality) and undermines objective truth, so I'm not sure how...

    Hello everyone :)

    Hi CF members, I'm SolaChristian. I'm a quasi-reformed Christian, probably close to being Baptist but not particularly concerned with denominations. Not sure where I stand regarding eschatology or other side issues of the faith, I'm more interested in apologetics, specifically with Muslims...
