• 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.

Apparently GT has gotten to the point that we are going to disprove Christianity.

Straw-man.

You've made a series of statements which when I ask about you say you don't understand me. I ask you for evidence and you say you don't understand me. Etc. etc.

If you can make a point and back it up with evidence that would be something we can then have a discussion about

I don't think that they see they are being hypocritical.
:sorry:

Blue Letter Bible - Search Results for KJV
(hypocrites)
occurs 20 times in 20 verses in the KJV


KJV) Job 15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate,
and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

Matthew 23:15 Woe to ye Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

Matt 23:38 Lo! left to ye desolate the House of ye!

Reve 19:3 And a second-time they have declared "allelouia and the smoke of Her is ascending into the Ages of the Ages".

Wow, real charitable thread we have going here.

My plan is consistent: to continue to invite people to discussions.

I don't consider a web-link by itself as a discussion point. So I continue to wait dialogue.

This is after-all why I started the thread

welcome to GT! :p

Yep, one does wonder why some people always have to sink down to the level of name calling in these threads.

a) More recently we saw that the canon is authoritative, because it is, because it is.

The person making that statement also noted that 'men' make mistakes. So how he knows that they didn't this particular time is still unknown (other than referring back to a) )

Seems rather illogical.

Please clarify what you would like to discuss and what evidence you would like to see?

If you can explain better I would honestly like to hear.

This is why I said (as it appears to me anyway) is hypocritical.

If we apply these standards to any faith it will be shown as illogical.
Not to be taken as name calling, but these are honestly atheist points (or at least agnostic).
