  • 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.

Here's an actual photo of it taken from one of the Society's rockets before it hit the dome and shattered into a million pieces. The camera, however, was recovered intact:

What about looking up? The heavens can be seen quite easily. I can see them right now from my window.

Moses didn't write by just looking up, he wrote by God's every word.

Nope. Biblical inspiration is not automatic dictation.

Cannot you see "And God said" or "And God made"? Its not from the perspective of God, it would be "And I said... and I made". Its obviously written from the human perspective, as a narrative.

So the first five books of the Bible were written by Moses just being inspired ?

So you don't believe that Moses spoke with God on Mount Sinai ?

So what are you trying to say, that the Bible is all an allegory ?
No, I am simply responding to your question with another question, to hopefully get you to think a little deeper. Am I wasting my time?

See! You are incapable of reading something without interpreting (and very badly at that)

Just to be pedantic, Moses probably didn't write ALL the first 5 books of the Bible, since they cover his death.
Unless he had a ghost writer. :)

He didn't say that.
You've read into his words, or misinterpreted them.

No such "so" follows.

Bible was written by people, from their perspective, in their words. It contains some direct quotations from God, at least as remembered by the human authors, but Genesis 1 and 2 are narratives.

He probably did not write at least the majority of the text, because he would need to write it all in the 3rd person.

A random example: "So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites..." Ex 16:6

Joshua probably covered Moses death.

And his birth, no doubt.
Genesis took place hundreds of years before Moses was born.
According to the book , 'Legend of Jews' by Louis Ginzberg, Moses went to heaven to write down about the beginning, at about the time he was on Mount Sinai.

The flow chart pretty accurately depicts the response of flat earthers in this (and other) threads. When asked a question they can't answer, they deflect by asking an unrelated question and move on as if they were never asked the question in the first place.

Right, so you don't just read the Bible, you read legends too.

Just not scientific facts.

No I can't, what a great job Copernicus has done on the masses.
-
Something going on this long and as wide spread as it is. It is a perfect mix of man and being man is a sinner, plus satans deceptive power working with a more that willing sinful humanity. Adds up to a near perfect deception, taking in many, even believers, who has The Bible to bring light to this deception. Especially unbelievers who many are rejecting life because of the science lies of globe earth, evolution, the discounting of the flood and other Biblical events. All because science states that these events did not happen as the way The Bible states they did .

Only God will eventually be the one who will set the world free of the globe earth deception. Satan is just too clever for the majority of sinful mankind to break away.
