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.

This sounds like a another cop-out to try to justify your claim of personal infallibility?
Catholics have the same access to the Bible, the Holy Spirit and the world around them and they have no problem embracing an ancient Earth. How can you be certain that it isn't your own fallible self that's "tricking" you, particularly if you refuse to consider other resources at your disposal?

Even that statement amounts to a subjective "interpretation" of your personal experiences of the presence of the Holy Spirit. I've experienced God's love that way, and it's 'testified' to me about Christ before, but it's never "testified" to me that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.
Before you start sticking words in the mouth of the Holy Spirit, I strongly suggest that you consider the repercussions of incorrectly claiming to have special knowledge of the age of the Earth.

You speak as if you do not believe that anyone has ever known God, nor ever had any interaction with Him. The truth of God does not lie in the wishful thinking of needy people, far from it. God has chosen some and made Himself know to them all throughout history, that men might know of God, whom they cannot see. You speak as if you believe it is all a fraud.
And Israel believed Christ was of the devil.
There is but One true source.

I am asking for you to present evidence to support these claims. Where is the evidence?
And yet another post where you fail to produce a shred of evidence.

Stop calling me a liar, or I will report you.
The evidence that I have presented to you spans many months of posting, which I will not now dig up. I have told you things that men cannot know who do not know God, and if you knew God you would know this. But your lack of knowledge of such matters is not the judge of what is true and what is not. There is One who judges, and you do not know Him.

YOU HAVE NEVER PRESENTED A SHRED OF EVIDENCE IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME.

I wasn't talking to you. Nor was I presenting you with what I was presenting to him. Do you call yourself a Christian? If not, his answer from me does not pertain to you. Butt out.

I will butt out when you withdraw your claim that I have refused evidence that you have presented.

That all sounds well and good, until your facts don't apply, and our facts are refused. And how would you even know that anything was different outside your own understanding?
Those who don't go, don't know...but many here are not up to such a discussion. Indeed, there is a problem with not being able to have a real discussion. But I have extended my hand, and all they can do is nip and bite.

I just got through telling you that the Holy Spirit certainly did "testify" to me about the validity of Christ's teachings. Never once however did it suggest to me that the Earth had any particular/specific age.
Ya, but you and I are not the totality of God incarnate, strolling planet Earth, and we have need of additional information.
Apparently you didn't hear that part about the Holy Spirit testifying to me about Christ? Did you miss that part?
It never however told me that the planet I'm living on at the moment is less than 10,000 years old, or that I'm obligated to interpret a few paragraphs of a single book in a highly literal manner.
Aren't you trying to claim "spiritual superiority" here as it relates to physics?
That source is the presence of the Holy Spirit, but even that process gets "filtered" in a highly subjective a highly humanly fallible way.

Then I would be the lair you accuse me to be. Not going to happen.
Here is evidence: I confess Jesus Christ is Lord.
Now, then...if you are qualified to assess my evidence, you will recognize my evidence as authentic. If you cannot authenticate it, you are not qualified to make any claims for or against.
