• 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.

You were told already sir what you SHOULD do...if YOU do not believe and YOU will not listen to Christians, please tell me why YOU would need us to ask GOD anything for you?
If you ask God what to say to me so I would believe he exists that would show the greatness of God and it would make me a believer again. If you don't want to do this that is ok, I can't make you.

At some point, most of us just have to wake up, look in the mirror and, in full realization, rhetorically ask ourselves, " ....yeah, I'm guess I'm no Daniel, am I?"

I understand the story. How do you know it is true? Where are the accounts of the eyewitnesses? It is amazing to me that God created a universe where we can discover how it works and manipulate it for our good through logic and reason yet for the most important truths he leaves it confused and no way of knowing through logic and reason that he exists.
The accounts are in actions.
I BELIEVE it is true, the reasoning is that which I presented to you and knowing that God does exist support my determination that it makes more sense in being true than not.

So you would have Him 'supernaturally' make sure that all those 500 witnesses wrote down what they saw and believed? During that time period, most information was passed by oral means. Had they written down their experiences would that mean anymore than the writings of the Gospel authors?

You would just claim you don't have sufficient evidence that God said something to you.

No, he has already claimed that is what he has done.
No. What he has said is that he determined that previous "events" weren't God speaking. You are being challenged to provide something by asking God that would be conclusive.

You can't just say that he would just reject it. That's weak sauce.

You don't get the point. If god actually exists then there has to be evidence that would convince me he does exist. You are under the belief that we can choose our beliefs. I think this is wrong. I cannot choose to believe my dog does not exist, there is too much evidence that he does.

Can god not tell you what to tell me that would be convincing to me?

Don't impugn other people's characters. You're not a mind-reader. It's dishonest and rude.
Insight is insight sir. The only thing that needs to be done, is not to say anything at all...

That is it...

And so who did he determine WAS speaking...Did he say that?

Yes, and has already said...
You will find what HE said here:

Is there anything at all that God could say to you and you believe it was from God?

If it is not convincing then your god failed.

Itś just that there will be those who will and those who won´t believe

It doesn´t change the TRUTH sir...the TRUTH will remain the TRUTH...regardless
