  • 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.

Thanks for that assessment. I am going to be out for awhile but I will try to write a response when I return.

...and the links in the original post aren't working...

Right you are. Here is a link to an archived version of the essay in question: The Problem with Deification.

Having read it now, I have to say that my critique stands -- what he's talking about is not what the Orthodox doctrine is, and indeed what he's talking about is a poor match for Paul and Luther. In fact if anything he's wandering into the territory of cheap grace.
