  • 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.

Honestly, could not care less.

That's probably why you can't understand what I'm saying.

You can't get your head out of some cave with eyes in Eastern Europe, or Cydonia on Mars, long enough to see Easter Eggs embedded in video games.

Even when I gave you the Wikipedia article, which describes them quite well, you can't see how I'm applying them to God.

It shows the blinding power of Satan.

No, it's you choosing to believe a book to such a degree that you ignore the actual creation itself.

Can't see the wood for the trees.

You're welcome to do so, but I think you're a fool for doing so.

Nope.

Sorry, Warden.

You're not going to blame your inability to understand what I mean by Easter Eggs on my faith.

Not and expect me to believe you, anyway.

I'll withdraw my challenge for you to come up with a better term, but only because I realize you don't even know what I'm talking about.

You never know what you're talking about but that sure doesn't stop you.

And yes, I'm going to blame your interpretation of the Bible on it since it invariably creates such problems. Your faith is not the issue, just your interpretation of the Bible.

How do you know it's creating problems, when you don't know what it is that's creating problems?

I say God embedded oil into His creation, to be discovered by the Chinese at a later time (or Colonel Drake in 1859 for the purposes of WW1 & 2), and you say it "invariably creates such problems."

Well, I contend that the problem is on your side, not mine.

It creates problems because you say stupid things like God created a 6,000 year old earth that looks and for all intents and purposes is actually 4.5 billion years because you don't want your interpretation of the Bible to be wrong. You even admit if yourself in your 'standards' that the Bible cannot be contradicted, so for you to do so, you have to invent stuff like claims that coal and oil are 'Easter Eggs' so that the Allies could fight WW1 (a stupid war which really had no reason to happen but couldn't be avoided) and also WW2 (which then means that God put oil and coal into the ground to allow the Axis to do their horrible things, as well as letting the Allies do their nasty things to).

Your interpretation of the Bible is problematic in itself because it's such a uniquely asinine interpretation that runs counter to all the evidence from God's creation... just because you don't want an imperfect translation of the Bible from the 1600s to be shown to be incorrect... because of reasons.

As I said, you're welcome to do so, but I'm still going to call it foolish and asinine.

I think his "friends" would disagree.

Job 42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.



Is this a sentence?
A typo. It should have read:

‘You shouldn’t love someone who victimises you for a bet.’

How about you try and learn what you're calling "stupid and asinine" first?

What's "stupid and asinine" to you, could be God's way of saving Israel.

Else they'd be reading Mein Kampf now (along with The Preservation of Favoured Races).

Two books inspired by the same author.

If you don't believe what I believe, even as crazy as it is, your in the clutches of Satan.

God knew that Job would hold on to his pride and integrity, and what the outcome would be.

And God used Job to put Satan in his place, as well as break Job's pride.

And in the end ...

Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

So Satan was left licking his wounds, and Job was greatly bless.

I know what I'm calling stupid and asinine. Your claims are very often asinine and stupid.

Your claim that Hitler's Mein Kampf and Darwin's On the Origin of Species, a book which you enjoy slandering so much that anyone would think it and the author have done a personal slight to you, is asinine and stupid.

Or does God not give us scientists when they say something that AV, God's own personal censor and call-guy on Earth, deems to be wrong?

But, again, you're welcome to your views. Just stop acting like we're defaming God when I and others say that YOUR claims are asinine and stupid.

No, you don't.

Else you'd give me a better term for what I'm calling "Easter Eggs."

And speaking of putting Easter Eggs in His creation to be discovered later for Israel's protection, I also believe the Tower of Babel incidence occurred because technology was advancing too fast; and had some of these Easter Eggs been discovered too soon, it would have been curtains for Israel.

Imagine Edom or Moab having access to C4 in Joshua's time.

Being rewarded after having your life destroyed over years just to prove a point doesn’t make it better.
