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.
What did Jesus really look like?!

I don't think it matters, for the most part. However, I do think that they've made Him look like something He's not. I've seen Him in visions and things, and that is definitely not Him!!michaelmasdaisy said:I've had an increasing problem with the way artists and the media present Jesus as a blue-eyd, Anglo-Saxon man. After all, he was born in Palestine into a Jewish family and heritage, so surely he would have looked more like that?
Or do you think it really doesn't matter so long as people believe?
Just my thoughts - be interested to hear what others think.

Nope, Jim, 'fraid that's Kim Clement at Halloween.
