  • 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.

Slanderers

1Cor 6:9,10 "...nor slanderers... will inherit the kingdom of God."

These are they who characteristically bear false witness against their neighbor. Their either fabricate events or misconstrue what their neighbor said. Paul was subjected to such slander. "And why not say, "Let us do evil that good may come"? ——as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just." Rom 3:8 And Jesus was subject to slanderers throughout his ministry to his death. It's a form of persecution all Christians should expect if they are following Jesus.

Such people are typically contentious or quarrelsome. The Greek word used in 1Cor 6:10 is used twice in the LXX as follows.

Pr 26:21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
Pr 27:15 A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day
