• 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.

Thanks, I hope you are better. It all seems reasonable. My health is not terrible, but the heart gives me trouble along with normal aging. Getting likes does make one feel better. I live in a wonderful place on a side of a mountain overlooking a river valley, but the weather often keeps me indoors and wanting to have a little interaction. Today, for example, it is snowing very heavily.
I'm sorry to hear you are unwell.
My M.E symptoms have disappeared now I believe I was healed, 16 years ago.

I am in the UK. It's sunny here, but very cold.

Yes the person in question had posted 18 or more laughing emoji's, I sarcastically wanted to thank him for bumping up my reaction score. :)
Why would you have been happy about the fact that he was mocking you?
Did you read his reply?

I joined this forum because I was ill with M.E and couldn't get to church or even out much. At a time when much had been taken from me,

Sorry to hear about your illness, are you any better now ?

There was a time when I lost everything but the worse loss was losing my hubby.

I'll be prayng for you :praying:

God bless.

I wanted it to seem that I was happy but really I was so annoyed & what better way is there to make him think he'd done me a favour.
No I haven' seen his reply.

I can understand the sentiment but I'm afraid it didn't work. He thought your comment was gross.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with saying, "this is a deeply held belief of mine, and I don't appreciate you mocking it."
And while we're on the subject, I'm sorry if I've done that to you.
I don't, honestly, feel that your belief makes any sense and some of your arguments ARE contradictory. But even so mocking you, as a person, is not right.

I'm going to leave this thread now.
Honestly, I think it's all been said; all arguments repeated, disproved, done to death etc.
This is not a debate, it's become a "yes it does"/"no it doesn't" argument, and the bottom line is that it has nothing to do with salvation or our Christian lives.

Oh, so we're all pagan now o_O for knowing the earth is flat, well, I suppose it makes a change from being called retarded or stupid. :rolleyes:

Just know you believe the account in Joshua 10 just as Moses, Abraham, David, John, Paul, Peter, etc... would have believed it. That on that day, God stopped the movement of the sun and moon over the earth.

I'm not but you are.
You’re inconsistent. You say to interpret one part of Joshua 10:12-14 literally and not another. And then you claim I’m not reading Scripture correctly because I don’t say the sun literally stopped.
