• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Your article is an excellent defense of Sola Scriptura. Thanks for writing it!
And yet thoroughly rebutted immediately after she made her post. Your words aren't fooling anyone.

Tread carefully here. I have absolutely no inhibitions about a solid debate. But please try to keep it solid, because let's bear in mind the potential of Direct Revelation to open up important venues. Examples:
(1) With 100 billlion souls at stake, Direct Revelation can govern our evangelism to a degree far more effective than traditional exegesis can.
(2) With prophets in place, Direct Revelation could have forewarned entire nations about viruses such as Covid-19, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

If it turns out I'm right that Direct Revelation is preeminent, you don't want to have to answer to God for having unduly disdained it.
