debate

Curious about what the forum thinks of the first Republican debates. Who impressed you? What issues were discussed that peaked your interest in the candidate or got you thinking? I personally did not watch the debates, but I'm interested to hear from those on this forum who did what they thought.

We are a community for creationist to discuss and conversate among each other all things relating to creation, its relevant science, and empirical evidences of God. Where we differ from most apologetic / philosophy servers is we have a strong focus on the evidential arguments and aspects, which...

The genetic code is a literal digital and arbitrary code. The only observed cause capable of producing this is intelligence. We only know of intelligence producing what our very bodies contain. Anyone arguing against design being the best conclusion and reasonable inference is doing it merely...

️ May the Christ God bless you! ️ I came across a video of a street apologetic with a protestant background Vocab Malone. He criticizes eastern orthodoxy. But I think his critique is more based on his lack of understanding of our theology and conservatism. Here is what I wrote to him on YouTube...

In the same way that our humanity and experiences color the way we think, our language does also. People think more differently from each other than most of us realize. Lately I've noticed that whole threads are full of people talking past each other because they simply don't think alike...

The SDA Church This is something that I've not been able to understand personally. Why do many people consider SDA to be a cult? I grew up in the church and the beliefs are different, though many people have different beliefs hence why we have so many different denominations. Although I do...

Since there are some of the Mormon religion here who apparently don't understand the difference between being willing to defend one's own faith and running away from it like a dog with their tail between their legs, and since this has led to a great many childlike retorts being mistaken for...

Hi all - I'm not sure if this is the correct location for this, but here it goes. I've gone back and forth on how I feel regarding antidepressant medication. On one side, doctors and their recommendations, etc are Biblical and there are many people who feel that God made us creative and able to...

I am very curious what arguments you all find most convincing for the existence of God, especially in the face of arguments individuals such as Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, or others bring up when contending with God's existence in the exchange of ideas. If you could share it would mean a...

The debate about God's existence is a common one. However, one issue which is rarely, if ever, discussed with enough focus, is the question of what arguments can be used to show how the belief that there was a first creator, an intelligent designer of the universe, can be reasonably translated...

It's been long said that the Trinity is a mystery in which can never be known. That may be true but I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit can bring revelation at any moment in time because our God is a living God, not a dead one!!!! For The Spirit is always at work. Hints and pieces of the...

For some reason or other, it seems the Ad Hominem "complaint" is dragged out quite often and applied to Christians who make character judgements about their interlocutors during debate. Because the identification of an ad hominem seems to have become a hobby for various atheists, I thought it'd...

I've joined a Yoga class to get my health credit for school. I need the credit to graduate HS. I've only had one class so far and right on that first day we did the child's pose, tried to stimulate our third eye and we "opened our minds" it was pretty alarming to me because I'm going to be stuck...

The traditional Catholic, Brother Peter Dimond of the Most Holy Family Monastery, called into this Saturday's "reason and theology" LIVE YouTube show to confront Dr Robert Fastiggi on his claim that protestants and the orthodox are within the body of Christ. Br Peter enters the discussion at...

Why would god give animals sentience (the ability to feel) if they were meant to be eaten Whereas plants are insentient; and are physiologically superior for consumption. It never ceases to amaze me how religious gluttons try to justify something that especially to them should be profoundly...

Hello! So I’ve been debating with myself over the idea of divorce and remarriage. I was wondering if anyone had any compelling Biblical arguments in the favour of divorce/remarriage

I don't know if anyone has posted a thread like this one before. I'm still new here (on CF) and I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know if this is in the right forum. Here goes: I know that many Christians (myself included) enjoy having heated debates with atheists and other...

I'm expressly against healing ministries in the vein of those who 'touch to heal' and whatnot, as I find it rooted in pagan practices and not historic Christianity, in which healings were dramatic and obviously of God and were real and lasting.

"A glittering generality (also called glowing generality) is an emotionally appealing phrase so closely associated with highly valued concepts and beliefs that it carries conviction without supporting information or reason. Such highly valued concepts attract general approval and acclaim. Their...

I’ve been recently researching the horsemen. And I’ve thought, what if we understood this wrongly. I believe that the horsemen are here, causing apocalyptic traits. And we have to destroy then, not wait for them. For all our lifetime we’ve had War, Famine, Death and Disease. Which are what the...
