  • 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.

I am working on my thoughts about how to view the New Testament in light of the Old Testament. I have some thoughts of my own, but I would be interested to hear other people's thoughts.

I'm thinking through things like:
- What is Jesus' role with respect to the Mosaic (Old Testament) law?
- What do we in "New Testament" churches do with these Old Testament laws? Are they outdated? Are they relevant for us today? Can we take some while leaving others behind? (more succinctly: What is the role of the Old Testament in our churches today?)
- Do Paul and Jesus agree on their perspective of how we should treat the law?

I would love to have discussions with people about any or all of these questions. Below are some texts to consider:

Matthew 5.17
2 Corinthians 3.5-6
Romans 7.22
Romans 7.12
Romans 3.31
Romans 10.4
1 Timothy 1.5
Ephesians 2.14-15
Colossians 2.14


Thanks for your thoughts!
