  • 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 think that original sin, as a whole, is something that exists in our bodies and the nature of humanity: man must struggle and repent for his sins because there is no person that doesn't have a natural sex drive which leads them to want to commit impure acts with people who they are not married to.

The genitals are regarded as not positive for the reason that they often are a drive in our lives to commit sins -- sex often causes people to betray one another, causes jealousy, and the sex drive at its' most basic levels can even cause incidences of rape, pedophilia, homosexuality, etc. I think people can understand why Christians are not thrilled about the sex drive.

I think the sex drive ties back to original sin in the sense that we all have it (I have not heard of people without libidos, but if it exists I do not think it is still a person without original sin -- the id, inside of all of us, also drives us to hate and be jealous and be petty).
There are people without sex drives. They are called asexual.
