  • 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.

amazing grace, simple grace, true grace...
...
from p282

........
the massacre began in the morning. the first one the amiericans clubbed to death and scalped was abraham, an old mohican brother who had believed in christ for many years. then followed the five ministers, jonas, christian, johann martin, samuel and tobias; seven married men..... the young men..... and the little boys: christian, josef, markus, jonathan, christian gottlieb, timotheus, anton, jonas, gottlieb, benjamin and hans thomas.....
dying with christian names, dying like christ rather than take sides in the ... war... the indian believers of gnadenhutten did not resist their murderers....
...
...the christian women died, like the men, without resisting the americans. one after another..... ... ... there were eleven little girls [also]...

..
"they did not resist" is repeated of believers throughout history.....
and
today. (in the usa, it is repeated)
..

.
sometimes, they fled/flee and survived/survive, (or refused a lie, and lived),
but they continued when they survived
in peace...
and they would not accept a lie, even if their countrymen or others did.
