  • 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.

Like you'd know.

I know that you don't know... that's good enough for me.

You're the one going on about God's "records..." I mean, don't get me wrong, I've got no problem with vinyl, but really... God's not a hipster, is He?

Scripture is God's record. You indicated you had other rcords f5om the time of Moses that were evidence the bible was wrong. Of course you failed to produce any. Busted ye be.

The measured isotope ratios found in rocks.
True, and many other thngs...and so..? Tell us how much you measured that was here at creation!? Or are you all about just wanting to try to cast ignorance based trashy little worthless doubts around like wads of used tissue?

And so......it's a lot more likely that the Catholics correctly interpret Genesis rather than you. :)
What is important is who believes it. If the folks in the new testament are right, Jesus created all things. Anything that takes away from the reality of that is not of God. I kid you not.

The Catholics do not disagree with you about the question of who, just when. You keep ignoring that point.

That's pretty much what creationists say, but they're wrong. What matters is what's true. A Christian should never be afraid of the truth.

Perhaps you want to keep us informed of what Hindus think on creation and Jesus also?

You have no idea what it true it is all belief. The only issue is what one you chose.

Hey 'dad'. I appreciate that you're probably just making a little joke here, but interestingly, what you've done is precisely what all 'believers' do, lay and respected theologians alike: make things up, speculate, pretend to know, and pretend to be authoritative.
How would you know what science God has??!! Talk about making things up! God has records and knows everything about you. Meticulous records. What you thought he used a pencil and paper!? Whatver man has is a pitiful little joke compared to what God has. Believe it.

But the stark reality is, none of the 2,000 or more known gods have ever revealed themselves and/or have personally made it clear to all and sundry throughout the world just who or what they are.
Nonsense. Bad spirits have revealed themselves to oodles of people all through history. Angels too. So has the Great Spirit, Jesus! You way out to lunch boy.

Being a Christian, I can't agree with you. I'm astonished that any Christian would take such a relativist view of things. There is an objective reality, and we can learn about it by examining evidence.

The only issue is what one you chose.

Sorry, that postmodernist stuff doesn't work.

No. You can't! There is too much unknown to be able to do that and overrule Scripture with idiot man's wisdom.

The POPE can sanction women preachers too.

Ain't gonna happen in our church.

I guess that the Pope's just wrong then. Luckily your particular branch of Christianity happens to be exactly the right one.
