  • 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.

Where is Scripture culturally conditioned?

You mean like the old days where everybody was probably exposed to the Bible as a matter of education (even if they didn't go to church), and maybe even a few laws written inspired by some verses etc.?

An example I have in mind is women today do not wear head coverings in church.

Those who favor women head pastors will sometimes claim that the Bible is culturally conditioned due to educational levels of women back then and today.
