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.

Ormly and I have been having a discussion and it basically came to this:

I'll provide a link, but the content in itself isn't as important as the concept of "God cannot do __________" insert whatever you want.

What do you think of "God cannot" ??

When I say 2 moves I mean a grand total of 2 moves. This is within the rules of the game of course. God works outside the rules of creation in which he created. And I'm sure playing chess it not what Jesus was talking about when he said all things are possible with God. I'm not disagreeing with what Jesus said. I whole heartedly believe the words of my Savior. God Bless

God cannot be imperfect.

So he could, but you don't think he would. So it's not in your mind God cannot, but God would not.

A check-mate in 2 moves or less in a traditional game of chess is not simply impossible, but an absurdity. It is absurd because in order for it to occur, it has to break its own conditions. Likewise, there are things God cannot "do" because they are absurd; i.e. creating a rock so heavy He cannot lift it. These kinds of scenarios presuppose and assign traits to God which are not in His nature. So -- God cannot be imperfect because imperfection in God is absurd. God cannot create a rock so heavy He cannot lift it because a such a "creation" is an absurdity. God cannot check-make ToxicReboMan in 2 moves or less in a traditional game of chess because such a scenario is an absurdity.

Do you believe God could forgive and in the forgiveness arbitrarily reinstate Satan as Lucifer, the covering cherub? Also, what about the 1/3 of the angels who fell with him. Perhaps there are even a few who are now having second thoughts. Could they be re-instated as well? What would it take, if it were possible? Please keep in mind, they can never die which makes reconciliation the only thing could be considered if it could be possible, that is..

IDK. NO clue. I'm not up on Angels and the requirements for angel forgiveness. :)

Honestly? I don't think anything is beyond God.

But it is. He has attributes that require adherence to, else how could we ever count on Him as being absolute in all His judgments? God NEVER changes. God can NEVER change. How do you know you are saved except you believe Him to be changeless. "I am God. I change not".

God cannot Lie, or should I say, God does not lie.
God cannot Hate, or should I say, God does not hate. That is not to be confused with dislike. I tell my kids, I will always love you, but there are times when I do not like you, and that is Ok, because there are times you do not like me either.
