Reminder about Links and the Rules

[A New Dawn]

I would like to remind everyone that everything that is posted in your post must comply with the rules. If you post a link, the contents of the link, also, must comply with the rules. Therefore, you need to be aware of what the link says so that your post is not found to be a violation.

For example, if a link contains swear words or words that would trip the profanity filter if it was posted on CF, then that link is not an acceptable link. If you want to post something found in that link, you need to do a quick google (or other type of) search to find a link that is acceptable.

Another example is that if a link contains language which flames members, or groups of members, on CF, that link is not acceptable. Again, do a search to try to find the information on another site where the language is acceptable.

You know what? I never read the rules when I text message. xx

The criterion for flaming would need to be more relaxed for councils and canons in history. Many canons -- Orange, Trent, Dordt, Chalcedon, even Nicea -- would be interpreted as flaming those outside their bounds. Commentaries during the Reformation use particularly intense language on both sides of the issues.

Even some contemporary published books use language that would be considered flaming on CF. Roger Olsen, Gordon Olson, John Rice and even Norm Geisler twist definitions of Calvinism in their specific areas of theology. To address any of these writers' mistaken allegations, we have to wade through accusations of hypercalvinism.

As usual, I don't know how to address the issue, I've just noticed it happens. Generally I check the post to verify that its content is not offensive, but it's true certain ways of advocating links & citations can be very provocative.

And then there is the Calvinist, a controversial apologetic author of the Reformed persuasion, who offends everyone other than Calvinists. (I really like him, even if I don't agree entirely) Vincent Cheung vincentcheung.com
