  • 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.

Is John 17:3 or the Trinity a doctrine of Christ?

"Yet this isn't what Jesus said about it. He *NEVER* implied that lips service alone was going to cut it. "

Actually he did since he NEVER baptised anyone ;) It was because Jesus could see the heart and see people's true intentions and could tell if they were just saying it.

"Paul however was "selling" a new religion. "

wrong..but you can start a thread and we can talk about it :)

"Paul also said women should not speak in church, and that God essentially plays salvation bingo with souls just because it pleases him too. "

Another wrong..you don't look at context micheal..something that's very important...if you want open a new thread and we can talk about both and I'll show you that 1. Paul wasn't sexist (seems to be what you're implying) and 2. God doesn't play "bingo" with souls according to Paul.
