  • 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.

Hypocrisy does NOT disprove Christian theism

Why? Because a belief system must be judged on whether it is true or false, not on the conduct (or misconduct) of the people who follow it. So as far as Christianity goes, one should look to Christ and the system itself rather than the followers, since they are imperfect people too.

Even if Einstein were a murderer, E=MC2 would still be true.

Good post, Jason!

Would you say the Bible alone is powerful enough to generate [believing] faith in an individual?

Abraham did not even have the Bible. The Holy Spirit alone is all the is necessary for salvation. Does he primarily use the Bible? Of course. But the Spirit can use evidence of all kinds.
Nice to meet you --- I like your testimony!
