  • 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.

Words generate from thoughts, and thoughts from what is in the heart.

Is that not true, Ted?

Hi brinny,

Yes, that is true. WORDS generate from what is in the heart. You don't seem to understand that I'm not talking about WORDS. Anyway, that's now been hashed and rehashed. Go your way, friend.

God bless you,
In Christ, ted

The bottom line, Ted, is that i was referring to what is in the "heart". That is what God looks on.

Is it not?

Hi brinny,

Yes it is! However, no one is accusing Benny Hill of being born again. Just that he's a reasonably clean person in his use of humor. That's all. I'm not trying to make him a child of God. That's between him and God. There are a lot of comedians out there that I would strongly suspect aren't born again believers in the one true God, but there's a line that I'm not willing to cross in my acceptance of humor. For me, Mr. Hill hasn't crossed it often. The OP wasn't asking if any of us believed Mr. Hill to be a christian. It was only asking about his humor and I gave my answer. You have yours.

I try not to be too overly condemning of the lost world as I live within it. There's enough really wicked stuff to worry about in that regards. I can let my hair down and enjoy a good laugh once in a while without feeling that I've come under condemnation by listening to someone else's words or by showing my approval of those words by laughing at their humor. For me, if Mr. Hill's humor was the ultimate in worldly humor, the world would be a lot better off for it.

Your take on that is probably going to be that I'm settling for the lesser of two evils. Maybe? I'm not solidly convinced that in the eternal existence we won't, from time to time, make one another laugh. After all, studies show that laughter is good for the heart and may likely be good for the soul.

God bless you,
In Christ, ted
