  • 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.

Left Behind a superstition? Armageddon a myth?

I'm not aware of any Mainliners who affirm futurism?

my mom is a member of the United Methodist church
so growing up I did a lot of stuff with the youth group
their church did not teach that, but a lot of Evangelical ideas kinda seeped in

I guess I can see that being the case with Methodism since they kind of straddle a gap between the Mainline and Evangelicalism.

True.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. (John‬ 21‬:25‬ NIV)

This refers to "Christ in us" which Paul talked about.

All the gospels derive from Paul's early letters. They are basically parables.
