• 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.

Humans did NOT evolve from Apes...

Did he actually tell you about human origins though, or to take a particular interpretation of Genesis?



No, it wasn't that.
It was that
You wanted me to "go out" and broaden my understanding
Because that is what you have done
You would prefer for me not to be so "childish" and increae my "knowledge"?

To repeat the words of Paul:

It's dung compared to the knowledge of knowing my LORD

It's GOD sir

Did I need to have it written down to understand that HE is THE CREATOR of all lower temporal things?

Not only that, hidden in the very account of creation is CHRIST

And I don't mean the usual verse we all point to
"Let us make man in our image"


I mean in the covering of skins to cover Adam and Eve's...nakedness (after they had sinned)

That "theme" runs throughout the whole of THE WORD of GOD

From Genesis to Revelation

So that's a no then?

If he "THE CREATOR of all lower temporal things" then he is the creator of the clear and abundant evidence that tells that we are descended from apes.

Christians that accept the theory of evolution do so partially because they do not believe in a lying God.

Reinterpretation after the fact does not mean "hidden". One thing wrong that some Christians do with the Bible is to try to insert Jesus where there is no reason to. That is one of the cause of so many different sects of Christianity. They will disagree with each other on these improper insertions.

There is EVERY REASON to "insert" JESUS everywhere HE belongs

That's what the men of Babylon tried NOT to do

And by removing THE CREATOR they thought by their own works they could accomplish anything they set out to try to do by their own hands, their own strength, their own "wisdom"

It didn't work

Please, you know that I am. You are willing to excuse those that lie for Jesus, even though the Bible points out that that is a sin.
No I don't
You resort to offering your personal input into the character and integrity of others

That's not honest discussion
That makes one mad and not interested in continuing the discussion

you want honesty?

You'll get it from me

I don't play games and I don't resort to any of the tactics which jimmy D should have been embarrassed to have included as the normal everyday pattern of a normal everyday "debate"

Fine, but no reason to insert him where he does not belong. Since you want to insert him the burden of proof is once again upon you.

That's what the men of Babylon tried NOT to do

Simply wrong. They were long before Jesus's time. You can't "NOT" insert that which does not exist.

And by removing THE CREATOR they thought by their own works they could accomplish anything they set out to try to do by their own hands, their own strength, their own "wisdom"

No, they simply had different religious beliefs than the ancient Hebrews did. They had their own gods. And the Hebrews copied many of their own stories from them. The Noah's Ark story is a prime example.

Then you should feel the same outrage over those that lie for Jesus as I do.

And if you did not constantly play your own game and debated honestly and properly there would be no need of such behavior on my part.

Anything at all
In fact, let any poster be welcome to doing that

Wrong again, and this is an example of dishonesty and game playing by you.

You simply cannot support that false claim of yours.

When you make a positive claim, such as you did about Jesus, the burden of proof is upon you. You know that you can't support that claim so you ran away from it.

And any time I speak with you this is all that happens

The debate switches to personal insults from you suggesting that the other is somehow like you and plays these games that you have become accustomed to

You do realize that does not make any sense at all, don't you? And I don't lie. I don't need to lie since the evidence is on my side. You are too ready to excuse those that do lie, if they agree with you.

Now stop offering anymore than what has been given by a poster

You offer your personal assumptions:

It seems to me this is what you believe but no in fact you don't say it seems you just blatantly say in a post, you believe...you do this
When the poster never said that or in fact believes the opposite of what you say

And it is more work having to go back and restate fully what was fully said so that other people will not believe your slander

It's work
And it's both tiring and annoying
