  • 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.

    Col 2 is not opposing the Bible - it is opposing making stuff up via traditions of man

    proof for Col 2 -- condemning the traditions and doctrines of man - and upholding the Word of God -- Col 2 is opposed to making up a rule and judging others of being guilty of sin because they differ with you, even if that invented rule is related to a Bible command. But Col 2 is not an...

    Col 2 condemns commandments of men - not commandments of God

    This thread shows why it is you cannot do away with God's Creation Memorial - Bible Sabbath using Colossians 2. ======================= In Rev 12 we see the work of the "Accuser of the brethren". In Matt 7 (pre-cross -- and law in full effect) Christ condemns judging others. Col 2 is 0pposed...
