• 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.

The problem with discussing Dr. Whites What who analogy is that I should have figured out what he meant first before commenting on it. Being open about not understanding him and probing for answers diverted attention away from the nonsensical analogy of his towards very minor points. In the future should I continue to debate in here, I will not make that mistake again. I have to say things that focus on the central question, but first of course I have to figure out what the central question is.
Alas just as I got it figured out no one wants to hear his illogical analogy explained. Aint that a shame.
Still I did learn some valuable lessons in understanding obscure explanations of trinity et. al. Look at the beginning and ending closely and see what his premise is and what his summation is. Terms that only he uses examine to see how he uses them thoughout his article. Organize all the disorganized parts . Clarify the parts left purposely vague as best you can. these were very helpfull tools that I used in deciphering his obscure explanation of how a person of god is not a being.

Wading through excessive amounts of mud slinging to see what a person might actually be saying if anyting is not pleasant unless you can just tune it out like static on a radio, which is my method. But if you wanna debate thats all there is usually.

Yea besides when one resorts to argumentum ad hominum, and especially the really vicious kinds, one only casts ones believes in an unfavorable light. That is why I have no problem with anyone representing untruth with all the
mud slinging they want. Besides if that persuades bystanders then they aren't really looking for the truth anyway. As far as I am concerend they can cuss me up one side and down the other cause all they are doing is making their doctrines look bad.
