• 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 definitely understand your point about the vitriol. I spent over 8 years in The Philosophy Forum, and one of my threads was on the subject of NDEs. I beta tested my arguments with other philosophers from around the world before I wrote my book. Many amateur philosophers and some professional philosophers look down on anything metaphysical, and I was a lone wolf howling at the wind.

Sites like this have every right to allow in whomever they please, but sometimes when we try to keep out the bad, we exclude the good. Of course, what's good will be defined by your worldview. So, do I understand, yes. I think I'll just leave and go back to my X posts where I have more freedom. God bless Elon.

You could also discuss Epistemology in general, I think, within the Kitchen Sink, but detached from the Resurrection. I have my own example of a thread I've done here that partially mirrors your own. As you'll see, though, it didn't go very far for very long............

Did you ever love your Creator when you believed He existed? I have read your thorough knowledge, your intense research and your commitment to establish and prove your findings, but that aside, did you ever love Him?

I do not recall ever reading where he said he was a believer. Just that he comes from a Christian background.

That's a choice you can make. On the other hand, there are still areas of CF you CAN post and discuss issues other than those which are central theological axioms like the Resurrection. You could, for instance, post and discuss topics in the Ethics forum or the Science forum. But, obviously, those respective areas of CF will not include discussion about faith or belief in the Resurrection of Christ.

So, I leave it to you.
I don't want my speech to be limited by anyone, especially if my speech is not harming anyone. I'm moving on.

Alright then. Take care. We'll still be here if you change your mind.

I appreciate your interest in NDEs, but the thread is about epistemology and the resurrection. First epistemology, then we will examine the evidence for the resurrection.

I have no interest in NDE`s whatsoever. what have you achieved of all your years and all your posh words?

If it is a light you need, I can offer you a match.
