• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Folks, scoring etc. is not really necessary. If we expect Payattention to be courteous we should too. I have failed to in the past, and it doesn't help my cause. So please keep the posts addressed to his logic.

I don't know where you got this . Please deal with what I say not what I sound like. It is possible my ideas will sound like someone you have heard before. Don't assume we share the same philosophy. Can you do me that favor?

Paul commended the Bereans for taking the same posture. Why should you object to it?

I got this from your unwillingness to take direct statements from Paul. You have done it at least three times. But then you use incidents from Paul's life, or his teaching when it fits your criteria. If you argument is that he seems dimly, why would you feel it safe to take anything from him?

And you have still failed to say why you feel you don't see dimly.

Paul did not commend the Bereans for testing his teaching against the facts revealed in the natural order, which is your method. He asked them to test his teachings against the Scriptures, because he held them to be authoritative.

Tall--sorry--it was meant to be a joke--just trying to get some comic relief in these threads. Seems all that some want to do is fight--sometimes humor defuses the heat. Sorry again.:cry:
