  • 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.

Looking for a catechism to memorize

Hey friends,

I'm on a quest to gain more intimacy from Scripture, and I figured that perhaps one way to do that is to point out a specific catechism or confession of some kind as a good head start, and commit it to memory. I started on the Westminster Confession, got through the first section on the Holy Scriptures and I'm amazed, though I think I should have more information. The issue though is I don't have a way to narrow one down; I'd do all the reading myself, but I have very little time for that, at least at this point. I know there's several out there, from Westminster to Canons of Dort to the Augsburg Confession, but what could I expect from each? Like I said, I'm looking for one that I can commit to memory.

Whatever advice or suggestions you have, and why, is all good with me. In part I'm not perfectly sure what to search for.
