  • 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.

No traditionals are not intrinsic to our meaning. We were a church that started by going against traditions. Clearly our church founders were able to build upon the Christian foundation yet they were not bound by those traditions as foundations. There is always something to build on but that is only a starting point not the end point. For many traditionals it is the end point thus they reject progressive ideas simply because they are not their traditional ideas.

People can have a foundation and still examine the ideas that make up the foundation and if they don't work they should be removed rather then entrenched. Just as with any other denominational split if there ever is a split neither side will want to remarry.

I could list a whole variety of episodes from history where traditionlism ruined a nation. I could also list parts where progression ruined a nation(French Revolution) Maybe I should start a thread about it.

Red that's your second baseball reference. For your first one, I thought you were listing ADVENTIST heroes, not baseball heroes! I felt completely out of touch since I knew NONE of them! Whew . . . close call.

Our Florida Marlins baseball team won the World Series in 1997, then because of money/contracts they traded away the heart of our team, again, and again, and again etc........
