  • 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'm not sure what the big deal is :confused:
It wouldn't be anything at all if you simply apologised and said that wasn't what you meant, but instead you falsely accused @Strong in Him of being malicious, so you turned it into a big deal.
Christ was humble, and we should all strive to be more like Christ.

Awfully sorry - I had no idea.

First strong asked me ' People who went to the moon, you mean.; and I answered 'of course' how else was I supposed to answer her ?
If you don't believe people ever went to the moon, why were you agreeing with me?
You gave a list of astronauts involved in the space missions who were Freemasons. One of those even said, "........ was the 6th man to walk on the moon." Why would you quote that if you don't believe it?

Well, as you don't believe that people went to the moon, it would have been much clearer if you had said, "No, I don't mean that, because I don't believe anyone has been to the moon." As it stands, your words sound like an agreement with what Strong in Him wrote.

When Elohim YHVH created the Firmament,
Expanse, also called the Aether1
it lasted the test of time. It is still
there today and still holds the same power that it did then.
They believe in “The canopy
theory” in which there used to be a firmament above the earth,
but when God let the flood down on Noah, it collapsed and the
galaxy was open for exploration. Nothing could be farther from
the truth.

By Paul Hart.

Strong in Him I had a look at Apples post 2835. All Apple writes is ( it depends who they are ) Apple then goes on to use a ( AI OVERVIEW ) meaning not her words. The reason Apple used the AI Overview was to merely point out the connection between Masonry & NASA. and was in no way agreeing with the claim of the AI post that astronauts landed on the moon.. masonry was the topic of discussion and not so much the claim of the astronauts landing on the moon. And we all know that Apple doesn’t believe that astronauts landed on the moon . In your post 2839 you fail to include that it’s a AI overview or you probably missed that it was a AI post from Apples post 2835. Therein probably lies the misunderstanding. It’s a AI overview and the connection to NASA & masonry was what Apple was pointing to, and not so much to what the AI overview said about the alleged moon landings

Thank you @Kathleen30 for explaining this to @Strong in Him, I was pondering on how to explain this to her but you've done it for me -Thanks.

But she still quoted it.
She obviously went to the trouble of looking up how many astronauts were Freemasons and quoting/cutting and pasting the AI overview.
If she disagreed with something which she, herself, had chosen to post, then that could have been made clear as well.

If a person doesn't believe that any astronauts went to the moon, it's irrelevant whether they were Freemasons or not.
Charles Duke, and others, became Christians after they had been to the moon - @Apple Sky still thinks they were lying.
The reason Apple used the AI Overview was to merely point out the connection between Masonry & NASA.
Freemasons can belong to any organisation or be found in any walk of life.
There are probably Christians among the 17,000+ people who work for NASA - it is not exclusively a Freemason organisation.
masonry was the topic of discussion and not so much the claim of the astronauts landing on the moon.
Maybe in that particular post. But in other posts, Apple Sky has repeatedly said that the astronauts who claimed to have gone to the moon were all Freemasons - implying that they can't be trusted. "Freemasons to the core" was one phrase I believe she used.
And we all know that Apple doesn’t believe that astronauts landed on the moon .
So, again, why quote an AI overview which specifically says that these astronauts who walked on the moon were Freemasons?
I don't believe the Loch ness monster exists, so why would I go to the effort of researching what it eats?
I don't believe the legend that Jesus visited England and went to Glastonbury, so why would I try to find out where he lived or what he did while he was here?
Do you see what I mean? If something didn't happen, details are irrelevant.
In your post 2839 you fail to include that it’s a AI overview or you probably missed that it was a AI post from Apples post 2835.
No, I didn't miss it.
It doesn't matter whether the words about the 6th man to walk on the moon were Apple Sky's own words or the words of AI - she quoted them.

She should have just said; "Freemasons or not; no one has ever walked on the moon".
Therein probably lies the misunderstanding.
No misunderstanding at all on my part - she looked for evidence of something that she doesn't believe happened.

If someone said to me, "and what were you wearing when you beat your husband?" I'm not going to wrack my brains to try to remember, or look on Facebook/Instagram to see if I can find evidence. I have never beaten my husband, so it's irrelevant, and a ridiculous question.

Well if we can't trust the AI overview to be factual about the moon landings, then we can hardly trust it to be factual about freemason involvement in NASA.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.

The problem still stands. If you don't believe the AI overview is factual regarding moon landings, how can you trust it to be factual about freemason involvement in NASA?

But the fact that it was the topic at the time doesn't explain why you quoted an AI source which says something you don't believe

That shouldn't have stopped you from saying "I don't believe anyone walked on the moon".
Instead you went off and looked for evidence of their beliefs.
