  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

@Apple Sky , I knew you'd laugh hysterically at my last post.
I'd like to think you are laughing because you've seen your FE claims written down and realise how ridiculous they are - but I very much doubt it.

Yes, we see them in the sky above us, but they are not directly above our heads and able to be touched.
Just because we can see them doesn't mean that they can't be thousands of feet away.

It’s just her typical deflection method.

Like an angel is going to be speaking to all the birds in the sky, from 93 millions miles away.

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,

If your interpretation was right, which is not, the angel would still not be able to talk to the birds from 3000 miles away. That is the folly of interpreting observational language literally. Remember that the book of Revelation is the witness of John and is highly symbolic.

I don't interpret scripture, I read it as it is.
You interpret scripture. If you read it as it is then you would understand that it is symbolic and observational language and would not inject your conspiracy theories into the text.

No, but you're writing as though they are only a short distance away.
Don't you realise just how vast, awesome and breathtakingly beautiful God's creation is? And the thing is, that he is far bigger and more powerful and majestic than his creation.

There's no conspiracy theories injected into the verses I quote, I dare not change the words of the Bible, so this must be all in your imagination.

We know how beautiful God's creation is but the stars & the sun are closer than you think.

So Jesus didn't speak to the seven churches ?
He asked John in his vision to give messages to each of the seven angels that were to go talk to each church. Jesus did not directly speak to the seven churches. He gave the message to each me to John to give to each angel do the angels could give it to each church.

You do indeed inject your conspiracy theories into scripture because scripture does not support a flat earth or a geocentric model. The language is NOT literal so you are indeed changing the meaning of the words of scripture.

I resent this as I've never changed any word of the Bible.

You can resent it all you want but it is true. You need to examine yourself and realize that your conspiracy theories result in an interpretation of scripture not shared by any mainstream church.

I don't THINK I know how far away the stars are; I've read articles by people who know.
You're the one who's guessing how far away they are.

And what are you basing that on - it's not in Genesis 1.

He didn't say you'd changed the words but the meaning of the words.
