  • 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.

ernie is new here too. :)

Hello everyone.

ernie is the name :) OK, please allow e to explain himself. ernie posts on a couple boards and does the third person thing in honor of his favorite band, Third Day. You all may find it VERY odd at first, but TRUST ernie, this gig goes over GREAT!  ;)

OK, a little bit about ernie. ernie is TRYING TO BE a Christian man. ernie Loves Our Lord and all, but ernie will not claim to be a Christian until he can be sure he is.

You see, the way ernie figures it is this way... If one does not claim the Christian Faith YET, Than one can NOT be called a hypocrate when one stumbles.

Yes, sad to say, ernie stumbles.

Well, Thank You All for reading my very first post here.

ernie looks forward to LEARNING from everyone on this great board.

L8                    e   That means Later, From ernie  ;)

Perhaps Ernie is confused about the definition of hypocrite. Stumbling does not make one a hypocrite.

Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Is Ernie confused about Justification too???

I notice Ernie does list his denomination as "Christian". Ernie is a member of a Christian denomination, yet not a Christian?

Well Ernie is certainly welcome here and Gerry hopes Ernie finds what he seeks here and is blessed byt being here as he is a blessing to all of us.

Ernie is always welcome to PM Gerry, if he thinks Gerry may be of help to him.

Well, ernie Thanks you all for the kind welcome.

Gerry, ernie knows what a hypocrite is. ernie meant that when one claims to be a Christian to oters, and the others see him stumble, said person pulls out the hypocrite card and says you're a bad Christian.

In the company of fellow Christians, ernie proudly claims his faith as well. ;)
