  • 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.

Interesting how they consider Hammurabi a real person but not Moses.


That Hammurabi existed as a real person is much better substantiated than the existence of Moses. I don't think that Hammurabi has tales told about him that are belied by reality.

lol you don't need me to act as an arbiter of what reality is. Just put it to the test. Get other people to put it to the test. If it withstands those tests, then it's likely to be real.
So we hold a vote as to what the unknown is. OK.
Also, see what your ideas suggest. Then go and test those suggestions. If what the idea suggests is what you actually find, then it is support for your idea.
Done. My ideas suggest God is real and true and the bible is true and creation also. The test has been over all time and Jesus closed the deal forever.

No, we test what is known. If we wonder if an idea is reality or not the scientific method is to find a way to test it. If your idea fails its test does not reflect reality.

I no of no valid tests for either the Bible or your version of God. But tell us, what test would show that your idea of God is wrong? If you can't think of one then your idea cannot be tested and probably does not reflect reality.

Maybe post it too so we can check your claims.

Science cannot test the future, spiritual, state of the past, or anything out of the fishbowl of earth and area.


If your idea fails its test does not reflect reality.
Unless you are talking about finding a better toilet bowl cleaner or something on earth, you reflect zero reality of the future, spiritual, state of the past, or anything out of the fishbowl of earth and area.



I no of no valid tests for either the Bible or your version of God.
Because some posters have been noted over a long period of time for being unwilling to rationally discuss Scripture you are blocked from being able to discuss God's word. While there may be places to vent contempt for Scripture and/or Christians who believe Scripture, and blasphemy etc .. this is not one of those places. Thank you. Happy repenting...

Sorry, but since you are in no position to judge. You need to learn quite a bit first.

Actually science can make predictions. If I throw a ball up in the air and now the velocity of the ball and force of gravity I can predict when and where it will come down. If I am wrong that means that my view of reality is wrong.

Unless you are talking about finding a better toilet bowl cleaner or something on earth, you reflect zero reality of the future, spiritual, state of the past, or anything out of the fishbowl of earth and area.

No, there are all sorts of predictions that we can make with science. There are no tests that I know of for the Bible. Except for the ones that it has already failed. Remember that tests are two edged. They can support your ideas or show them to be wrong.

How would you test your Bible?

Yes, you are still repenting for your many blasphemies. This is getting a bit tiring dad. I tell you what, you have my permission to discus the Bible again.

Substantiated is a interesting word. There is just as much evidence if not more for Moses. Only the evidence for Moses is hidden. Have you ever seen the move: Raiders of the Lost Ark? During the 1000 year reign of Christ all the evidence will be brought out of storage because there will not be people in the world wanting to destroy the evidence.

Why ISIS destroys antiquities

"The destruction eloquently speaks of the human folly and senseless violence that drives ISIS. The terror group is destroying the evidence of the great history of Iraq; it has to, as this history attests to a rich alternative to its barbaric nihilism."

Sorry, but if evidence is "hidden" it is not evidence. You really need to work on your basic English skills. Show me some evidence for Moses. Your article had none.

I do not think you would be able to test the Bible without first taking a class in Covenant Theology. That is usually a college subject and often people do not even have a grade school understanding of the Bible.

Clearly the point I am making is that people want to destroy the knowledge of the truth. It is a part of their agenda. The truth is evident because God makes the truth evident to them. Still they want to suppress the truth in their unrighteousness.

"18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.…" Rom1:18

That is probably because there are no reasonable tests that the Bible would pass. It has failed quite a few over the years.

Yet ISIS has the same religious roots that you do. Yes, there are some crazies that will destroy evidence. That does not support your beliefs. It only shows that there are even crazier people in the world.

My English skills are fine, I took English twice in College.

You ignored the explanation of your error. Maybe you should have taken English three times.

ETA: "College" is not a proper noun so it should not have been capitalized when in the middle of a sentence.

Isis ie the Muslims and the Hebrews both call Abraham their father. As a gentile we are adopted into the family of God. We are not from the middle east and are not Hebrew or Muslim. My wife I can trace back to the middle east based on her fathers last name. That goes back before Abraham though so she most likely is not a descendant of Abraham either.

I got a passing grade the second time so there was no reason to take it a third time.

My point was that you were making a rather obvious error in your use of certain terms.

The concept of scientific evidence is well defined. There is none that I know of. And that is the fault of creationists. They are afraid to put their ideas to the test. It is up to the person that is putting an idea forward to come up with reasonable tests for that idea. Since creationists are afraid to put up or shut up they end up having no scientific evidence at all.

So does that mean they support Luke sense he was not Semitic?
"sense"?

And modern scholars do not think that Luke and Acts were written by Luke. Neither is signed, in fact all Gospels are anonymous. The authorship was assigned to them long after the fact.
