  • 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.

    What does it mean to appeal to God on the basis of his nature or pleasure

    I see in Psalm 51, it starts with appeals to mercy and bases it on God's character particularly on the word hesed, God;s loyal lovingkindness. In this case not on God's justice The Psalm moves to asking for a new heart, a new nature as he was born in sin. Last, the psalm ends to even...
