• 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.

You can't say they don't.

I don't have to disprove your bare assertions. You have to prove them.

Once light exists in our area . . .

How did it get to our area? It has to cross distances over a certain time period, does it not?

No. Nothing can cross distance over time unless there is time! This is news?

Then we shouldn't see anything in the fishbowl because no starlight would reach it.
Starlight was designed and created to reach us by the One who made the stars. Don't cry to us because your little mind cannot conceive of anything moving outside the time we know.

But if the stars don't exist because they are outside some "fishbowl", their light need not reach us. Does your God deceive?

They exist. They exist where they are. Not here. Everything science thinks stars are is all based on the fishbowl rules. Fishbowl time. Without time no sizes or distances are known. You only assumed time existed way out there.

Don't cry because I just falsified your fishbowl. No time, no starlight.

No time, no starlight.
False. Movement does not mean time as we know it. God moves. Angels move. Philip in the bible was moved across a big body of water in no time. Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Time as we know it will be no more one day.

Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

Ooh, can I make things up on the fly with no justification too?
