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.

Alaric, it is not 100% clear to me what you are conveying here. Christ is not the afterimage of God, Christ is God. At some level this smacks of mysticism which is why I am asking for clarity. Mankind was created in the image of God but is a real entity or being which God created. Christians are not an after image we are presently in the image of Christ, restored by His imputed righteousness to the image of God. Man separated from God by Adam's rebellion and pride is not presently in His image or likeness in the truest sense of the word. We are redeemed to His image yet we are becoming like Him. In His sight we are restored and in our sight we have a ways to go. I like His sight better but I live seeing my sight. I understand Paul and His discussion on that subject. Why confuse new Christians?
