There is nothing wrong with arguing a point, I think the argument over the last day or so started well, but I think the point to be remembered is that yes, consider each other's arguments - everyone see's things differently and you might find you learn something, and to secondly remember that there is a point where you should let things drop. There is nothing to 'win' and that is what I feel the discussion started to turn into.



See above, debating isn't the issue, it's the way it's done. We can debate to encourage, without debating to win a point, or win an argument, and I feel the recent discussion swung towards the latter.

God Bless

EDIT: I only hope that I have not come across as dismissive or disinterested in peoples personal belief's an arguments, what I disagree with is saying that one persons stance is right and the other is wrong. surely the most important and fundamental thing is faith and belief in Jesus Christ.. the way truth and life.....

I guess these are pretty uncomfortable questions..which are hardly vacuous...hopefully some of you so-called christians will ponder on them and maybe might lead you to finding your own nirvana..

+ve rep for me pls

I think that's about normal, i've only been to the law group about 3 times in two years!

How come the workload is so heavy atm?

I think Queen's has a really good CU; they had some great reps last year (i'm sure they still do...), and it seems to be full of some fairly creative people. What made you choose Ebbes over Aldates?

I knew someone in Jesus' CU, but they left last year. How long have you been there?

What made you choose Ebbes over Aldates?

Assuming you're also at Oxford, which church are you at, out of interest?

I'll let them know that our reputation has spread far and wide

One of last year's reps is still in the CU, the other is on her year abroad (I think....).

I chose Ebbe's because it was recommended to me a by someone who used to live in Oxford. I went there on Sunday of 1st week, and really liked it, so I stayed.

Workload - just being unlucky with overlaps in various allocations and schedules. I should be writing a lab report at the moment, for example....

My daily bible gave me this verse today, which I love

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Do you listen to taize?

Is Christ just another hero like superman, spiderman, Obama etc?

Be your own role models!

Yeah, facebook tells me she is I know some people who've been put off Ebbes by how conservative it is (although Aldates is much the same, maybe less overtly). Did you not get that impression?

And don't let us distract you! Although that said, i should currently be revising...

Never heard of!

Aldates, but purely out of convenience. Even i find it very difficult to sleep through an 8 o'clock service! It's also only a few minutes away, which helps.

Would it be possible to have a Christian soc discussion/debate thread?
