  • 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 have been shown many times that this is a falsehood so why do you keep lying?
Because I don't believe those who showed me showed me.

Their convincing skills are lacking in that area.

I made some good counterpoints to their points and they treated them with disrespect.

And if that's "lying" to you, so be it.

So they would get the Gospel before they died.

I don't think they were invited aboard the Ark.

Which would explain the scoffing.

There's a time in life when one reaches a point-of-no-return,

1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

... and those guys had stepped over it.

They "stepped over it" not because of anything they did, but because of their ancestry...

We call that "ethnic cleansing."

But it's okay when God does it... which means it's okay when His followers do it in His name...

As the waters increased, I'm sure some -- if not all -- remembered Noah's preaching and cried out for salvation.

More likely they cried out for mercy... but because of their race, they received none.

We call those: deathbed conversions.

Even Charles Darwin is purported to have had one.

Which of course is untrue, but truth is never an issue in the "deathbed conversion" racket.

Like I have said before....

A piece of a bone here, 100 yards over there is a jaw, 200 yards over here another piece of a bone, Fred thinks this is piece of bone too, George found this in his soup... let's glue them together,....hmm file down that tooth, epoxy that jaw here..... VOILA..... the missing link....

YET, hundreds of complete, intact, full well preserved skulls are found and your comment is.... wait for it....
"give me evidence"..... purely and unadulterated and the most sincere LOL I have ever typed.

This from the man who posted links to proven frauds....

I'm familiar with how unbelievers wrest {the Truth} into {the truth}.

Mainly by sterilizing certain key terms.

There was no rain, the earth was humid and warm. At night there was always a heavy dew. Also, evidence from encapsulated bubbles in amber have shown that the atmospheric conditions were much different. Higher O2 levels and higher barometric pressure...why do we just assume that everything 6000 years ago was exactly the same as it is today?

Humid and warm would lead to more rain, not less. Dude, do you even meteorology?

Do you now?

I assume that's because you interpret "sons of God" as "the godly line of Seth"?

No, I call it that because that's what you call exterminating an entire race of people for no other reason than their race.

Wishing things to be true doesnt make them so.

You only hurt your own cause by lying.

TLK, what were the "sons of God" in Genesis 6?

Be specific please.

You're a professor of literature, aren't you?

What do you tell your students they are?

So, if you had a family farm, just you, your wife and your 15 kids. 14 of these kids burned down your barn,...twice, crapped all over your living room, busted your new flat screen tv, vomited on your bed, beat up the younger kids and the girls, abused your wife, put sugar in your gas tank several times and shot up all your great grandmothers fine china. Just continual destructive behaviour and disrespect toward you, your wife and your house rules...all except one kid who tried to clean things up before you got home, comforted your wife, tried to put out the fires and inhibit all the disrespectful behavior.....

So, you kicked the 14 kids out of the house and got restraining orders on them so they couldn't come withing 100 yards of the farm, you , your wife or the one child that had a good heart....

That's what God did..... in His way.

He didn't turn the other cheek? hmm...

Even Charles Darwin is purported to have had one.
God is full of Love and Compassion, not willing for any to eternally perish (forever live without Him).

A sincere turn is all it takes, regardless of the time thereafter.

But as you mention some wait to the very end to turn to Him!

Are we presuming that I have all the authority and powers of an omnipotent deity in this scenario?

If so, even with my limited imagination, I have a feeling I could come up with more options than "kill them all".

The difference, of course, being that the former has been rigoroulsy studied and known to exist for decades, while the latter is just a claim, and probably doesn't exist.

Also, we have there's no single 'missing link'. Dozens of homo aferensis specimens have been found.

The word "gospel" means "good news."

What exactly is so good about "I'm killing you because of your race"?
