Strange....this was the just of a post I started this morning. I fear that
"debating" will not edify the body but cause more division. I find myself in the
middle of a lot of issues here and if it is a debate forum that is not allowed.
Also from my experience few people will get involved in the debating.

I was involved in a general Christian debate forum and it was hard to post, hard
to follow and died. I pray that 1) Crossfire has better sucess & 2) that Higher
Fire does not lose its fire!  ;o)
