  • 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.

Did God create man or did man create God?"

Man drumming up false deities is like scientists drumming up theories, then treating those theories as if that's the way it happened -- no exceptions.

Even to the point of assessing others' mental states based on their compliance.

In that regard, scientists are dictators -- and they tend to have a low tolerance of those who don't play along.
Exactly.

Who created Zeus?
Zeus may have been a fallen angel (who went by another name), who asserted his power over humans on the earth in Noah's day.

And although the Greeks didn't exist at the time, they may have imported Zeus' legacy into their culture.

He may be one of those chained up.

In that regard, there are two types of angels: fallen and unfallen.

Of the fallen, there are two types: chained and unchained.

In any case, if he isn't chained up, he may be on another planet or a star.

In this dispensation, the Holy Spirit keeps him in check; so he can't do today what he did back then.

This sounds kind of like you made this up. Do you have a way that this can be verified?

Personally I think man is too stupid to create Bible God. But if it would be so, why would man create Bible God?
When you really think about it, doesn't the god of the bible sound just like a human, but with super-powers?

Amiright?

I take it you've never heard of Will Varner?

What do you want me to do?

Go "down there" and check for you!? :eek:

2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

No, thanks!

According to you, if God were real then anyone who is part of the Hindu faith should be scattered,
I have no idea what your talking about, but it looks like another strawman to me.

For you there is no problem because you don't even need to define what a god is before you believe he can do things,
the statement 'God created man' is meaningless without first defining what a God is, I would define a God as a non existing entity living in an imagined never never land that is outside and beyond existence, in other words totally made up.
You obviously do not see it that way at all because you don't want to, better to have an imagined God than no God at all.

God created man. Using evolution as one of His tools.

I don't see the problem here.
I agree. I think evolution is t tool by which God delivers us to himself or herself. I also think God evolves, grows as the world goes. I think creation is God's self-evolution from unconsciousness to consciousness.
