• 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.

STILL no actual evidence FOR creation

it is not clear to me where the evidence for a miracle in the picture is.
A miracle is something without flaw or error. It is impossible for there to be a mistake, flaw or error in the beginning. As a carpenter that has done construction work: I know how essential it is to build on a sure foundation. That is why no man can build on any foundation other then the foundation set by Jesus.

No doubt in my mind.

(He's getting better at punctuation, but that's probably someone typing for him.)
I don't know what you are talking about but there is little doubt in my mind that your mind is completely shot, you are in a world of your own.

It has no kind of fault or flaw, And I, my Lords, embody the Law. Or, perhaps, others might think differently.

We live in a fallen world and the theory of evolution does not take that into consideration.

That's right. It only takes account of those things for which evidence exists. Your claimed "fallen world" doesn't qualify.

And what is this "Grace" thing you speak of?
Unmerited favor.

Free gift.

God's Riches At Christ's Expense

There are three types of judgments:
  1. Justice = getting what you deserve = an eye for an eye
  2. Mercy = not getting what you deserve = Hell
  3. Grace = getting what you don't deserve = Heaven

Are you saying there's no Grace anymore? All gone? Finito?

Someone said we were "fallen" from Grace... that implies that it's gone now...
"Fallen from grace" is a Biblical term, taken from:

Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Some say it means you can lose your salvation.

Others say it means you have fallen from the concept of grace.

So there was Grace before, and there still is now. Sounds like nothing has changed, actually.

People from Adam on have been saved by grace through faith.

Old Testament saints looked forward to the Cross; New Testament saints look back at It.

John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Point is, nothing's changed. The world is as it has always been, by your own admission.
