  • 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.

According to the Chick publication...

1. Origen "invented" the LXX by inserting NT passages into the OT to make it look like the NT authors were quoting the OT.
2. God's secret language for spreading His word is English.
3. Quotes emminent historian H G Wells (yes, I realize he wrote a book about history. But is this the best you can do?)

Im with St. Christopher. I don't much care for Disney history.

Peace.

It's not a matter of whether I agree with them. Rather whether they provide solidly researched evidence for what they provide. The first doesn't qualify as well-researched. Pelikan has demonstrated scholarship and research for 50 years.

Yes, I have a little background in research, methodology, and Biblical scholarship (conservative, btw) - 9 years of postgraduate education (beyond college) in History, Exegetical Theology, and Systematics.
