  • 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.

Why do you believe in the evolution theory? (2)

I see nothing in there about giving us a month, or a year. Got anything? Or are you just going to continue with the fear-mongering "it'll be soon" line, with nothing to substantiate it beyond your anti-science rhetoric?


God does not give us a month or year. I know and other believers know just by reading the Bible and knowing what the signs are. We may not know the year month or day or our but we will know the season.

Let me put it this way. The anti christ is going to mark every person on earth and forbid anyone that doesn't take this mark from working buying or selling.

Doesn't this sound a lot like the barcode, veri chip etc. Would that not be an easy sell in this day and age? No money to steal, all your data right in your hand or forehead. How could you deal drugs, steal or rob anyone, extortion would be gone, crime could be controled as you could track people....

Thing is, we didn't have the technology until now.

Another thing is the frequency of tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding droughts and other natural disasters.

The talk of the Illuminati, one world government merging of religions, the selfishness of mankind, strange appearances in the sky, more interest in the paranormal and witchcraft, vampires and other spiritualism, increased knowledge, violence and sexual immorality, wars and increased search for peace, Christians turning away from the truth, Christians being openly killed, famine,

I know this has always been however it is epidemic now. No time in history has all this came together with the technological ability to do the things that are predicted. Flesh falling from peoples bodies and their eyes dissolving in their sockets before their bones hit the ground.

The only force holding Satan back is the "one who restrains" also know as the holy spirit. Things will get much worse very fast when He is removed and the Church of Christ is taken with Him.

Would that not be an easy sell in this day and age?

Not really, no. It might work for a country or two, but the ENTIRE population? Even places that are effectively sealed off from the world, like North Korea? No.

No money to steal, all your data right in your hand or forehead. How could you deal drugs, steal or rob anyone, extortion would be gone, crime could be controled as you could track people....

If you wanted to commit crime, what would stop you from just taking the stupid thing our to rewiring it?

Another thing is the frequency of tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding droughts and other natural disasters.

There's really no data that these thing occur more than they used to. What's changed is our ability to track them and record them. Two hundred years ago, if an earthquake happened in China, nobody in the US would hear about it. These days, it's impossible NOT to hear about such things.

The talk of the Illuminati,

Nothing new.

one world government merging of religions,

Very unlikely.

the selfishness of mankind,

Nothing new.

strange appearances in the sky,

Nothing new.

more interest in the paranormal and witchcraft, vampires and other spiritualism,

Not even sure if that's true, but if so, so what?

increased knowledge,

Yes, we learn more as time goes on. So what?

violence and sexual immorality, wars and increased search for peace, Christians turning away from the truth, Christians being openly killed, famine,

None of this is new.

I know this has always been however it is epidemic now.

Not really. Things aren't great now, but they've been substantially worse before.

No time in history has all this came together with the technological ability to do the things that are predicted.

People have been saying the same thing for millenia. I don't see anymore reason to take you more seriously than any of them.

Tell that to the person that brought up that canard, in post #212.
By bringing out how God is infinitely more powerful than created beings like demon gods, one is not suggesting manmath has numbers for that. You miss the forest for the trees.

You could compare all the light from all the stars and sun in the universe to a gleam in a mouse's eye from a candle in the far part of a big room if you like. Take that and multiply it by a trillion universe all with far greater light and scope, and you may start to get the idea.

Your metaphor is drawn exclusively from a deep appreciation of the details of what can and cannot be seen. Yet all of these are within the realm of Nature.

And this anti-science rhetoric of yours is supposed to convince me that this is real and not imagined?

Why? You are the only one that has the mistaken belief that ID can't provide a man made classification system.

Can you explain why we would expect ID to produce a nested hierarchy? If not, then the nested hierarchy is evidence for evolution since we would expect a nested hierarchy from evolutionary mechansism.

Shucks, we don't even have to make a mark on people. We can just record the pattern of their iris, their fingerprint, the veins in the palm of their hand.

As are your Manposts and Manthreads.

Keep going, My kids and I find this hilarious.
:)

How does your wife feel about you and your children laughing at Christians for their faith? I am sincerely asking, not judging just sincerely wondering how that would make her feel.

You always think that evolution is just evolution and not a process in creation. It is not evolution = no God or no God = evolution.

My husband never laughed at Christians he just shook his head from side to side, he felt genuinely sorry for anyone religious, how do you feel about Muslims? do you laugh at them or feel sorry for them?

Oh, I've never taken it as him laughing at Christians for our faith, but finding the lulz in anti-evolution, science-deniailism tilting at windmills.
