• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Where I come from, that's called telling the truth. There is not meant to be a gram of discrimination in what I said - from my perspective. I love and respect you in the Lord, but when I see a particular type of interpretation being pushed at the expense of other interpretations, I tell the truth about what I see.

Then no point in debating here unless you are only interested in harassment and arguing. We all have different perspectives which we defend. Saying I am coming at it from a Calvinist perspective doesn't mean anything to me. It certainly doesn't prove that it's wrong.

Strange that Oz is allowed to come at it from an Arminian perspective and that's perfectly fine, but if you come from a Calvinist perspective, well, you're just wrong for having presuppositions and a certain interpretation.

Why don't you address me directly instead of sniping at me in this indirect way?

Because you avoid answering direct questions?
That is not only a false allegation and a generalisation fallacy, but you avoided giving examples of how I do this.

I will not answer if you or others snipe at me. I find that to be flaming. Your statement here is a flaming one. As a moderator, you should know better than what you did here to me.

Please tell me what you are talking about. I don't understand your generalisation.

Here's an example.

So until the Lord opened her heart, there was no way she could respond positively to the gospel?

You've never answered the question. All you did was ask another question. I'm still waiting for an answer. And I don't expect that will change.

Here you go with another round of your repeats. I answered you at #103 and #104: http://www.christianforums.com/t7804942-11/.

Therefore, what you are doing here is harassing me and that's against the rules of CF. It's time that you practised the CF rules in this regard.

Feel free to go back and read a page or two. Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.
You're the one making the generalisation. It's your responsibility to provide me with the specifics.
