  • 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.

It is hardly my opinion. It is rather obvious that the Exodus story is not true. When you take out that it does not leave much for Moses.

Mohammad probably existed, just as Jesus probably existed. Myths have grown up around both of them.
So in your book:
  • Moses: definitely not
  • Mohammad: maybe
Well, while you're trying to decide if he did or not, keep this in mind: Mohammad believed Moses existed.

So I guess this guy you're not sure of knew something you don't, eh?

Beliefs are not always evidence of knowledge.

You are completely dependent on God Who you deride. One day you will see, when every knee bows and confesses Jesus as Lord. I dont deride science, i just know its limitations and its false doctrines. Science is not always self correcting either, but is vulnerable to mass delusion, which is seen in all false doctrines. I know science thinks its above mans folly, but its not.


You can't deride that which does not exist. If you want to claim that a god exists the burden of proof is upon you. And yes, you have put down science. It also seems to me that you do deride science. Name one "false doctrine", that would be rather difficult since science does not have any doctrines that I know of. And name one part of science that suffers from "mass delusion" I doubt it you can name one and justify your claim.

The claims of Moses, as written in the Bible, have been shown not to be true. Tell me, why didn't you compare Jesus to Mohammad? That would would have been a fairer comparison historically.

And no, why on Earth would you think that Mohammad knew something that I don't know simply because he probably existed? You seem to be rather sore because you chose two poor people to compare.

Disbelief will surely become extinct one day, and all that will remain is belief. THere will be much sorrow on that day.

Trends seem to be going the other way, for many decades now.

You can believe that though.

All men have doctrines, you just dont see it. You think science is holy and above all the folly of mankind, but that's far from reality.

I believe that mankind will be overcome by the power of anti Christ, and that he wont even know it has happened to him.
