• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

What reason should/do I have to believe in anything else?
What reason do most have? It seems to be all around us.


So says the Christian... trouble is, other religion's doctrines and their believers claim otherwise according to their criteria; why should one believe you over all of them and any other schema we can come up with, on what justified grounds?
Matters not, take it or leave it. The point was that the bible is a major league player in the myth dept. Your fables, stripped of a science pretense are not.

Wha...? All I'm talking about is the center of this planet, not the universe, or any other; is that really a claim of yours? Holy bejeebus...
Of course. We are on the planet where God Almighty will live forever. We are the reason this universe exists. And whatever reason any other universe exist doesn't matter, since GOD is coming HERE forever!!! Be happy.

And is this any less coherent than the steady stream of blather you've put out in this thread?

Read your own OP -- you've lost any moral right to claim anyone else's equations are "stupid." At least they did the math.

I am thankful for the darkness. It contrasts the light. Keep up the good work.

Oh, and as for the latest little sub topic here, about the watchmaker, and the program with no Programmer, etc- - I will point out that it was absolutely demolished here. What a scream.

No, dad, you clearly didn't understand the video, probably didn't watch it. You apparently lack the will or the capacity to do so. Neither flatters you.

What 'seems' to be all around us? How is that a reason?

Yes... it does matter to those other religions, and you have yet to show how a 'major league player' represents a more valid schema... until then, it's just as much a fable as any other. Science on the other hand is simply a useful emprical convention; that's it.

Of course. We are on the planet where God Almighty will live forever. We are the reason this universe exists. And whatever reason any other universe exist doesn't matter, since GOD is coming HERE forever!!! Be happy.

G'McNetty... :eek: Where did you come up with this egocentric notion?

You've not given us a reason, though. What reason should we believe that the earth is something other than physical inside?
Spirits live there. Why would they check in to a PO hotel? Besides, you have no reason to assume otherwise.

Nonsense. The poster outlines the points in his own words as best he could. I addressed them. What do you think he missed??? Or are you just blathering here about nothing, trying to sound like you have a mystical point?

Depends on the context. Better go back, and check on that.

On the contrary. I think a more major belief system, tried over centuries, is a better scheme than some wild baseless fantasies, that got by pretending they were science.

until then, it's just as much a fable as any other. Science on the other hand is simply a useful emprical convention; that's it.
Only useful where the empire of the present rules. That ain't very far.

Bible. God really is moving right here forever. No ego involved.

And you evidence that spirits live inside the earth is? Perhaps you need to progress your thinking past the middle ages, though from reading this thread I am not even sure you are up to that point yet.

Okay, so some astronauts read out Genesis...so?
they had to read it because all that vino they took to the moon was useless when they found out it was not made of cheese

Being aware of the presence of God in one's life is not ego, making up stuff about the physical world is.

.

Re 21:3 - And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. That is right here on what is now the physical earth. I do not make anything up about the future or past. I simply don't allow you to, by pretending it had to be the same.

So men at the pinnacle of all science could offer, could only gasp out the words, in awe, that in the beginning God created. Real science and belief are tight.

The evidence is that most cultures have some underworld account. The bible also indicates the same. And the glaring fact that science has nothing to say about it, poor little thing, one way or the other.
It flies, as some poster alluded to, blind as a bat, in anything related to that department. So it isn't even a player for counter claims of the well known.
