• 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

I have a question for you. No criticism, just interest and being inquisitive I guess.

Please explain to me why you would be interested in Spong's opinion on anything at all.
Thanks!

Good question, I am in and of myself not interested in the opinion of Spong per se', but this is a debate where Spong will have to have to prove his thessis in a positive sence. It seems that the view's of Spong are thrown about by many people those who claim to be believers and those that are not. This type of debate will help to bring foward the errors that Spong upholds as truth. In that fashion the debate is very usefull.

http://www.sovereigncruises.org/AO2006/conference/debate.htm

Join us as Dr. James R. White and former Bishop of the Episcopal Church USA, John Shelby Spong, engage in three full hours of scholastic, moderated debate on the topic “Is Homosexuality Compatible with Authentic, Orthodox, Biblical Christianity?”



Peace to u,

Bill

Thanks Bill for the clarification! Gives more weight to the idea of the debate.
I had googled and read more on the upcoming debate after your post! By Nov 2006 it should truly gather much more interest and attention.
