  • 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.

How about old Christian

Why did God send the angel of death down, the pharoah sinned, not the small children. therefore is God a murderer? Saying the pharoah is doens't make sense because the LORD sent the angel of death down.

The HOly wars in the bible and also the ones that stemmed from its teachings cannot show Gods love for all, and why ask his people to kill others when it is a sin?

I'm not getting answers. Just more contraditions. Teach me.

One man sins, everyone gets punished. We need to learn the hard way how to not sin. Like when I was 10 my class somone whispered and we all had to copy out 1000 lines.

I accept the words of the Bible in accordance with the Apostolic Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church.

I do not interpret it to suit my needs. Rather I interpret them trying to find out what the authors meant.

And yet the author is God. Why would he write something that you'd have to try and decipher like a code? To trick Christians into forming different groups? Sounds slighty devilish to me. TO interpret things you see them in a different light to other people when shouldn't you all see it through the HOly spirit you claim to be filled with? Hence why there shouldn't be different types of Christians. The Bible has some serious flaws if its having this affect.

The center of Christianity is not the Bible, but Jesus Christ resurrected who is the Head of the Church.

The Bible is one of the ways (together with the Magisterium and the Apostollic Tradition) through wich God reveals himself to mankind. Yet you must not confuse a mountain with the picture of a mountain or the description of a mountain.

But its the only way you know of Jesus' resurrection. It plays the most vital role in how you worship him. Its the word of God, so you don't think the word of God is important? If it is indeed his word.

"you would expect it to have flaws and contradcitions if it was written by different people. no human creation can be perfect for we are not Gods. "

And yet this is ignored?

I think it would be better to close this thread or even delete it, as now my posts would not be understanable.

They are not meant to be an attack on any denomination, btw. I was replying somebody who was being not very nice.
