• 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.

I have read this book before. This is just encouraging to believe without evidence. I can believe Allah exists without evidence too. Also, showing us he exists will not override our free will. We could still choose to follow him or not but at least it would be an informed decision.

These evidences heavily rely on the bible which I am not convinced can be treated as a reliable source.
You aren´t close to an informed decision sir...because you do not even understand what you are saying...
You have the information, it´s just that you don´t accept what is given you and you are looking for another way...

No other way will be provided...


And had you understood the way provided, you would have understood and would not have wanted another way because you would have realized that there
couldn´t be.... another way...

Again, I am sorry to stress this but Allah is not the GOD and FATHER of our LORD. JESUS CHRIST..


There is only ONE GOD...and by sending HIS SON, HE shut the mouth of every lying spirit and HE makes the distinction between those who know THE FATHER...and those who don´t.

This sir, is NOT a threat at all...

It is a TRUTH...

For judgment I have come...NOW is the prince of this world cast out...

That is a pretty poor system then when other Christians need to threaten others to make them believe.
Today is the day of salvation sir...and anyone who calls on the name of THE LORD shall be saved.

That really is a gracious system....

Bingo! This is why I do not believe. But could God not convince me in some way? Could he provide the evidence I would need to be convinced?
You were a christian for 18 years. Would you be willing to talk about what you believed when you were?

You said could HE provide the evidence that you would need to be convinced?

The evidence sir, is you...yourself....that is the evidence....
And I am not talking about visible and physical evidence when I refer that YOU are the evidence to THE TRUTH...

It is the internal invisible part of YOU that should be the evidence.

And I am not talking scientifc words for explanations to our inner make up either...

Blessed are those who have not seen and believe sir...
Belief without sufficient evidence is foolish and can lead to harm to you or others. See anti vaxers, homeopathy, JW anti blood transfusion etc.

I want THE GOSPEL sir...that and THE FOUNDATION alone is sufficient...
Men who want to add yeast, and their own manmade additions to THE FOUNDATION will be dealt with by GOD...

There is only ONE GOSPEL, ONE FOUNDATION, ONE TRUTH...

No it is not, someone must be punished for your sin either you are Jesus. That is not grace. God asks you to forgive others without punishing anyone but won't do that himself.

If you could convince me that this system existed, I would of course be a Christian because I would not want to be tortured forever.

I ask you how you know your beliefs are true and you just say I know it is true because it is true.

Maybe John first...

Furthermore, what is MY position?

Based upon your other response, it may not matter.?.? You already stated you are NOT changing your position.

But, from the looks of it, [your] position is as follows - "all creation is moving away from that initial (and perfect) state towards corruption and decay"

To my knowledge, the claims for 'evolution' has no 'end goal'.

In stark contrast to your claim above, what are your thoughts about macroevolution? Is it demonstrated sufficiently, as proposed by science?

I ask you how you know your beliefs are true and you just say I know it is true because it is true.
I already told you... Now I am thinking YOU are just trolling. What I told you you should have remembered...

Someone had to open the way into the HOLY of HOLIES...

The SYSTEM existed as a picture and a shadow all throughout the OT and was simply to point us to what was to come and be fulfilled in the ONE planned from the beginning...

evolution is a process sir...when all things come to an end, what will.....evolve from that?

To view it as a goal? That must be YOUR stance...but it isn´t mine

I am not too interested in your personal beliefs I am interested if you have good evidence for your beliefs.
