• 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.

Another stupid idea???

You seem to suffer the extreme arrogance that plagued Paul. Who said in Galatians if even an angel came a said some thing different Paul then let that angel be accurse. Not an even angel from god can even change your mind. I am shaking the dust from my sandals as testimony against you.



You need to do some serious bible study if that is the understanding you have if this scripture. What Paul was saying was that no one should believe any other message of salvation thna that of Christ crucified. Or did you just choose to take that out of context because it fits your agenda?

As for angels coming from God, frankly how would you know if the angel was from God or from the devil? Any angel that preaches other than what is written in God's Word is from Satan and is a liar as is Satan.

You would do well to sit down and read the bible from cover to cover in a modern english speaking version.

Brothers!

A reminder of Rule #1 here at CF...

Rule No. 1 - No "Flaming"
1.1
You may discuss another individual's beliefs or religious organization but you will not harass, insult, belittle, threaten, defame or flame the individual (member or non-member) as this is considered personal (ad hominem) attacks in posts, PMs and any other communication within the site. This includes, but is not limited to:
a. Directly calling another member “cultist”, “heretic” or “bigot” as these are personal attacks and are not conducive to civil discussion.
b. Calling famous individuals derogatory names (unless it is a well-known nickname) as this may be considered defamation.
1.2 You will not directly call another member or his or her religious organization a “cult”, “heretic”, “demonic” or “satanic” but you may discuss doctrines, teachings, practices or writings of other religious organizations as long as evidence (including Scripture) is provided.
1.3 You will only post negative statements about another individual’s belief or religious organization (including non-Christian religions) with objective evidence provided. Members are allowed to say “The doctrines X church is false because of Y scriptures and Z other relevant evidence”.
1.4 You will not misquote another member regardless of context. You will not quote another member in your profile including your signature without permission - such quotes will be removed.
1.5You will not directly state or otherwise imply that another member is not a Christian if he or she falls under Rule 6.5 and 6.6 and he or she does not have a hidden faith icon without providing substantiation from scripture or doctrine or historic church writtings.

It's important to remember that we are to respond to the post - to what is written in the post, and to not make our posts personal. Personal conversations are to be made in Personal Messages.


Thanks!!!

This is an official moderator post.

FIRST: Please note that this subforum is intended to be a place for members of the LCMS, WELS, ELS, and LCC -- generally the more conservative Lutheran synods -- to fellowship together without interference or challenge from members of other synods who may dissent from their views. If you are a member of one of these synods, but dissent from the positions taken by these synods, you should not be posting that dissent in this subforum as that goes against the purpose for which the subforums were created. If you are NOT a member of one of these synods or a similarly conservative synod, then you mus restrict yourself to fellowship posts and questions.

Before posting in this thread, whether for the first time or again, please review the Christian Forums Rules. Pay particular attention to rules 1.1 and 2.5. The pertinent portion of rule 1 has already been quoted for you: "you will not harass, insult, belittle, threaten, defame or flame the individual (member or non-member) as this is considered personal (ad hominem) attacks". Rule 2.5 also prohibits any responses addressed to the poster, rather than dealing with the content of his or her post.

A number of posts violating these two rules have been deleted from this thread, and some posts that have other intrinsic merit have been editted to remove such violations. Threads with such a large number of blatant rules violations are often deleted; we chose to make the extra effort to clean this thread instead in order to preserve the valuable discussion in this thread regarding the different perspectives on Historical Criticism, the thread has been cleaned instead of being deleted.

Note that the rules do not restrict the position that you may take or the ideas that you may present; however, the manner in which those ideas are presented must conform to civil and courteous standards. It isn't what you say, but how you say it, that determines whether a post is within the standards for Christian Forums.

Regards,
Pamela

This is my fault more than anyone else Pamela, as I opened this thread with the hopes of allowing debate in this forum since the conservative Lutherans don't seem to mind it.
