• 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.

I think it's not unreasonable to accept a man named Jesus lived during that time in Palestine, although actual historical evidence is scant, and Jewish rabble rousers were a dime a dozen, it's not much of a stretch to say he existed.

As for all of the "miracles" -water walking, healing, raising from dead, etc.- there is absolutely no evidence or good reason to take those claims seriously. Just becuase something is written down, doesn't make it so. Just think about the amounts of supernatural claims that have been written since recorded history by every ethnic group ever existed/ing, and how easy it is for you to dismiss their claims, so too I dismiss the claims of christianity.

Its all held together by gods power....

Why would you ignore the amazing marvels of the universe for some vague notion of divine power? I would find it far more wonderful that the creative force behind the universe put all of these processes into action.

because a divine power is more convincing than an accident or of its own....all things around us are created by man........the universe is an engine created by god
