• 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 all get wet, I suppose the goal is to keep from drowning and practice practice practice until we can finally walk on water.

Maybe just talk in a more direct manner? I know what you are saying, but I would rather not have to decode every post you make.

I'm not going to argue with you; I prefer to stick with what Scripture's clear statements are.

Sure, individual statements can be clear, but the bible also conflicts with itself on many issues making the whole thing a lot less clear.

I'm not getting what you mean by objective definition here. Definitions are inherently subjective; they're attempts of using language, which is entirely subjective all the way through, to represent concepts or experiences. These concepts can be real or unreal.

Concepts that, if we take them at face value, can't even begin to differentiate between when their object is present and absent are pretty much vacuous.
