• 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.

  • 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.

Do you have any idea what Scripture says on the subject, really? Come on now ...

I know what reality says on the subject -- trust me; use the dynamite.

Then show me an example of a person who moved a mountain through the power of their prayer.

(seriously, how can anyone think that mountains literally move because of prayer?)

Seriously, how can you make a pretense of discussing Scripture, when you haven't the foggiest what it's talking about?

I read what it says. You're the one claiming that it's got some other magical meaning which is nothing like what it actually says AND you've never actually told anyone what it really means according to Raze-speak, so don't tell me that I have no idea.

Do you really think they believe, in the same way that a believer "believes in Him?" You are doing really well at being dishonest in your attempts to twist and distort what is said. Why?

You're the one trying to twist the definition of belief, yet I'm the one being dishonest? :doh::doh:

Wait; you're an atheist, and you claim to have a handle on what belief might or might not be?

PRICELESS ^_^^_^

And, for the sake of turnaround...

Wait; you're an creationist, and you claim to have a handle on what evolution might or might not be?

PRICELESS ^_^^_^

I bet you haven't even checked the definition of belief. Seriously, knowledge of the term has nothing to do with ones religious views.

What's priceless is that you can't show me how I'm wrong about anything I have said concerning belief. You just make these wild claims that I just can't understand your higher meaning...despite the fact that I was part of your secret club for the first 30 years of my life.

Then why do you feign to discuss Scripture?

I'll discuss scripture whenever it's relevant -- on the topic of moving a mountain, it's not. Use the dynamite.

Similarly, on the OP, scripture is utterly irrelevant.

Yadda yadda yadda.

You're all big and important telling us that we've got the meaning behind it all wrong, but you never ever tell us the real meaning, do you?

If you sincerely wanted to know, you wouldn't be bloviating such obscene error so vehemently. Pointing out the error as it arises is the closest you can come (Just like your "big and important" nonsense is perverse)

So why don't you tell us what Scripture has to say on the topic of dynamite? (Oh wait, you can't can you?)

Indeed -- dynamite is only one of quite literally a million useful things on which the writers of scripture didn't know about.

meanwhile, you keep praying for the mountain to move -- people engaged in useful endeavors will actually move it.
