  • 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.

Eh - not really. George M Lamsa grew up in that community as a strong Believer.

Because of the expansion of the Persian empire in the 3rd century and the rise of Islam a few centuries later, that part of the church was cut off from the rest of Christendom until about the mid 1800s. He grew up speaking Aramaic as his first language. It was a thriving community until the last few decades with the rise of radical Islam.
There are still definitely people that have never been exposed to Christianity. I made an error an brought up a minimal exposure group instead of a practically no exposure one.
