  • 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.

Did God create germs , viruses and parasites ?

I always thought that God was teaching them what is sacrifice with providing these skins for them because later we see Cain and Abel doing sacrifices .
There is no remission of sin without bloodshed. That was what I always thought the sacrifices meant (for the most part).

Likewise why would anyone think or believe that big industry is interested in good inexpensive health for all people ? Mankind/ corporations simply don't care for people, but for money.
The bogus direction 'science' claims in 'looking' for cncr cures when the cures were already proven and known well before 1950 is a good example of mankind's perniciousness for profit.
about these cures
Whoa ! Tell me about these cures. My good friend, a full professor of microbiology at a major university has dedicated his life to finding a cancer cure. His motives are pure, he is a Christian, However, he tells me that whoever discovers a real cure, will become the richest person on earth, further, whichever company buys it will become one of the richest on earth.

Why would anyone want to suppress a cure ?

God is the Creator of the entire Web of Life. It is a remarkable diversity, and all the creatures depend on each other. Even the creatures that seem to be harmful to us ... they are essential to this system of life.

Therefore, we must respect the wisdom of the Lord!!

For the same reason ... the diversity is tremendously important. For too long, Christians have not supported the protection of the environment. But they need to give strong support. How many planets do you want God to make for you? Isnt the Earth enough ... isnt this world already a great blessing? Therefore, if we trash this planet, why should we deserve another?

Viruses, parasites, sharks, germs ...they are all a part of the Web of Life. Although they seem.harmful, they all have important roles.

But Biologists have given a strong warning. The Earth is over-populated with humans. Species are being destroyed at a rapid rate, a collapse in natural diversity is coming. Christians need to listen and respond.

The wisdom of God is great.
We must respect all the life He has given us.

Blessings!!
The so-called "biologists" are wrong, naturally (being "of the world/ of the flesh") . The Creator Yahweh Created the Earth Generously with Provision for all.

Mankind messed up. Corporations and governments and religious folk opposed to Truth continue
to cause mayhem and destruction, famine and plagues, oppression of the poor and death by medicine, by thirst, and by hunger as well as death by disease.

When Jesus Returns, He Will Restore Right, and people will learn the TRUTH and will live well and good as they live right under His Government/ Ruler-ship/ Kingly Reign.

What is the motive of society ? Corporations ? The world apart from Christ ?
There is your answer.

p.s. the "cures"/ prevention is almost free ! (not expensive, not patentable, thus not supported nor admitted by those in charge) .....
Society is "__________" according to Scripture ?
(See in Galatians)
ps. not "good". Not "righteous". Not "obedient to God". Not "honest"........

Because the cure might be something which you can't profit from ( can't patent it )

But you can profit and patent current cancer cures

synthetic/ manmade cures can be patented.
Natural God-given cures thousands of years old and proven, cannot be patented, thus are denied.

What about the Fear of man which God gave to animals after flood , sounds like meat was not eaten and animals did not flee from human before the flood . Genesis 9:2-3
True. I think before the Flood there may have been a few who tasted blood, but definitely after the Flood all people began eating animals. However, I don't think that is why all animals fear man. It is the depravity of humanity they fear. Killing for sport; cruelty just because we can. St Augustine in his "Confessions" talks about his stealing a single piece of fruit from a neighbor's farm. He was not hungry, nor was he poor. He stole it just for the heck of it. As he contemplated his action, his eyes opened to the depth of his own iniquity and realized his need for a Savior.

But where are they ? Many very famous, rich people, like Steve Jobs and Farah Fawcett went the natural route for cancer, and have died. I had a personal friend who developed treatable cancer with a 95% survival rate at his stage who went the natural route, and died. I hear much about natural cures for cancer, but never exacrly what they are and actual success rates.

As to the original question: Yes. God created all things.

Colossians 1:16-17 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. (17) And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

If you read the creation story carefully, God made Adam then planted Him in the garden, and then continued to create more creatures and plants with Adam there. The flood destroyed the paradise earth.
I Don't think that you can explain it this way, you have two creation stories in Genesis , one describing the world In chapter 1 and the second one describing the creation inside of paradise in chapter 2.
For example in first chapter birds are made out of water and in the second chapter birds are made out of ground .
But both are finished day 7


Historical accounts are always from a particular point of view and modified by the story teller to emphasize what the teller feels is important. Even the eviction of Adam from paradise is a point of view. But no matter how you think it happened, we are not living in the original paradise.

This passage is my basis for claiming that God plans and orchestrates
the orbit of each electron in the Cosmos.

The system is so corrupt, finding the truth can take years, and often does.
Likewise, the 'stories' you posted about, you would be totally flabbergasted to find out how many people were willingly "put to sleep" (to be most gentle) instead of allowing them to tell others the truth,
or to let something good and right become known.

Look for the oldest BOOKS you can find, anywhere, because they will most likely be the biggest help / source for what you seek if you are seeking the truth.

Remember there is a trillion dollar industry (much bigger than, and controlling the laws and the government) trying to stop you (as written and verified in Scripture, if that's important to you) , vs a small small remnant trying to help you.

So is the creation story just a myth but the paradise part is an accepted historical part of it?

Your post remind me of manna which turned into maggots the next day.
Deposited fly eggs can hatch in as little as 8 hours. So manna would seem to be good for fly larva as well.

Historical accounts are always from a particular point of view...

I never claim that any word in scripture is fiction. But every story has an emphasis on what the teller chooses.

For example a person walks into your house and walks out with a set of car keys and drives off.

A stranger says you are leaving for work.
You say somebody stole your car.
Your wife says your son is going out on his first date.
Your son says Grandma is not feeling well and she needs help.
Granted, your son's statement might not be connected to taking the car,
but it makes for a valid excuse.

So, no specific cures, just conspiracy theories

our immune system is made to fight off germs, viruses, and bacteria

letting your kids play in dirt and/or own a dog are good ways of strengthening your kid's immune system

our child has done both ^ and has never had an antibiotic since we became her parents nor missed one day of school this past yr

feed your body with nutritious food and let the immune system work as God made us wonderful

And how does that apply to the creation story?
