  • 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.

Nor did John Calvin. All looked upon the heliocentric proposition with disdainView attachment 374247

Copernicus presented his theory to the pope as a way to explain certain certain celestial movements but not all. He admitted it was a flawed model.

Rising number of Brits leaving Christianity turning to paganism​


I wonder why ?
Probably lots of reasons.
Not being able to believe in a God of love when there is much suffering, would be a chief reason.
Being let down by the church, is another - after all, what must God be like if his followers/representatives behave so badly?
Perceiving that the church has too much wealth when there is much poverty, may be another reason.
And sadly, even meeting other Christians - those who tell people they are going to hell, those who insist that church members tithe, those who say that people will have to give up parties/smoking/drinking/gambling or they can't be a Christian.

Maybe even people who claim the earth is flat, and everyone except themselves, is wrong.

What the fact that we've never been to the moon & walked upon it.
You're lying to yourself.
You know perfectly well that you believed, and were moved by, Charles Duke's testimony.

There have been other testimonies too.

@jonojim1337 - and I don't know why you laugh hysterically at my posts.
When we ask you a question, your answer is, "Tiktok/Instagram/YouTube says...."
Is that the extent of your "research " - social media?

Yep lots of reasons maybe they are more interested in Hollywood movies about space & no longer believe as they should or maybe they are believing in science more than God, yes lot's of reasons.

All I can say is that, the Bible is
indeed an educational object and it does not tell of a globe. Even
modern cartography, in all of its wonder, states that the globe
earth is just another possible projection.

By Paul Hart.
His name is Pauly Hart, and he is just as deluded as you are.

It's perfectly possible to understand/know science and believe in God.

To say otherwise, is just ignorance.

The problem is that there are so many who are turning their back on God, this is so sad to hear :(

Imagine complaining about a continent not being visible when all of ancient history tells us we have a submerged continent.
Imagine not being able to explain multiple flights per week between continents in the Southern Hemisphere that are impossible on any flat earth model.

Oh wait, you don't need to imagine it.

You appear to be confusing history with mythology. Please present any ancient historical reference to a submerged continent.

That’s what ancient history is, mythology.

Perhaps you should crack open a dictionary sometime so you don't make ridiculously false statements like the above.
