  • 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 hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I thought you were too engrossed in the middle chapters of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'.

IJWTS I really just need out of sanitary Christianity for a while. Is there somewhere in Christianity for blue collar types who drink too much beer and could out curse a sailor, while they learn?

IJWTS I'm sorry you're frustrated and feeling rejected. It can be easy to feel that way around here and that is something I pray about regularly when praying over CF. :hug: & :prayer: I think people struggle (here and IRL) with knowing how to show tolerance the way Jesus meant it to someone who is rough around the edges.

Even though I'm a Christian, I believe in karma.

I looked into karma a little over a year ago, but after studying it while in a couple of related classes (and even doing a presentation on the topic), I found that it was something I just could not believe in. Do you also believe in reincarnation (or transmigration)?

I think karma and reciprocity are at the core of the teachings of Jesus.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you",
"Give and it shall be given unto you" ect.
The basic idea that sin creates a debt that has to be paid, is also reminiscent of Karma

A lifetime of personal experience also tell me that what goes around comes around.

As far as reincarnation, I don't personally believe in it, but some of the earliest Christians did,
and they thought that Jesus was referring to it when he said that John the Baptist was Elijah.
