• 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.

Does Science Agree With the Bible?

The church has too much pride invested in their own doctrine of inerrancy to concede the obvious errors.
And how much did you invest in science and education and Urantia?

Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

A principle that I've seen demonstrated over and over.

Yes, this seems to be inherent with religious types.

I've never believed the ridiculous claims of the people who killed Jesus. The UB makes more sense to me than the cult like thinking of anti-scientist.

Like these?

Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

No, Jesus' Jewish brethren: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ sins. You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?

Atheist know that spirit cant be proven in a scientific way.
The Bible is Jam Packed filled with promises from God. We have a covenant relationship. If we do our part of the deal then we can be sure that God will do His part of the covenant. If people have no evidence in their life then they are not doing their part of the covenant. God is always Justified even if every man is a liar.

So the bible says god wrote the bible.
This is a basic 101 Bible College Question.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Bible is comprised of 66 Books written over a period of about 1,500 years by over 40 authors from all walks of life, with different kinds of personalities, and in all sorts of situations. It was written in three languages on three continents, and it covers hundreds of controversial subjects. Yet, it fits together into one cohesive story with an appropriate beginning, a logical ending, a central character, and a consistent theme. The authors agree with each other and they all agree with Moses the man that gave us the first five books in the Bible.

I believe Mary was a life long virgin.
What about this passage?

Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

I believe Mary was a life long virgin. She dedicated her life to God by the time she was 12 years old. Joseph's five children were said to have come from a previous marriage. Some people accept and some do not.

If Joseph would have been married before, that would make him either
a divorcee, or more likely, a widower. That is a detail unlikely to have
been left out of the scriptures.

Except the authors of scripture right? Those who saw themselves and their nation as the apple of Gods eye
and you a Gentile dog. They could never be dishonest or wrong about anything right?

I don't remember what school you follow,
as a so-called "Christian seeker",
but your posts are not like a Christian,
and not like a seeker,
from the statements you make.
