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.

That reminds me of certain discussions I've heard of wherein some have argued that it is, in a sense, impossible to truly speak of the Logos Asarkos, and that to speak of the Logos means to speak of the Logos Ensarkos; not because Christ began to exist at the moment of Incarnation; but because the Incarnation while to us is history, something that happens within time; God's unique transcendence with time means that the Incarnation is not accidental or incidental, but speaks to God's own understanding of Himself. That is, while from our perspective we might be able to say the Logos became flesh at this moment of time and history--His conception in the womb of Mary--but God being God is outside of time transcending it entirely. Thus can there, in a real sense actually be a Logos Asarkos (in contrast to the Logos Ensarkos); but rather Incarnation has always been (at least in some sense) really real in the Logos' Self-Identity as the Second Divine Person.
I'm not trying to provide my own opinion on that subject so much as trying to explain the ideas as I've encountered them--which I do find, if nothing else, interesting (though possibly total and confusing speculation) to think about.
