  • 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.

Can I get through life with less than the most possible meaning?

Hi there,

So I just wanted to address this question: can I get through life with less than the most possible meaning? Further, why then do I need to understand people, as if everything they say is the truth?

The implications of this are very clear, I am able to regard men as sinners and not slight their character, merely because it is universally applied, and therefore sufficiently equal among peers as to not disadvantage them in the eyes of anyone but God.

The only objection to this has to be that by binding men in their fate of sin, I make them culpable toward one another for the sake of their salvation from Hell, which only Christ can supply - yet Christ was one of them.

Thoughts?^_^

I'm not sure that you can assign a quantity to "meaning". It's not as if I can find the meaning of something... you can find more meaning to it...and someone else finds the most meaning. I've never heard of one meaning that can be quantified.
