  • 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.

    Who is the bad guy?

    Part 2 Let us now turn to consider this seven-headed Beast. In Revelation 17 a vision of the seven-headed Beast is recorded. Regarding this vision we read in verses 9 and 10: "Here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are...

    Sexism in the Bible... Doesn't it make you doubt?

    Sexism? That's it? What about the rape, slavery and genocide? KJV Deuteronomy 21:10-14 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a...

    How would Christian theology be UNDONE?

    Divine judgment? Human evil and wrong? Here is something I would desire to have undone. Truth tells me that there is no partiality in judgment. Christianity tells of judgment of sins, truth tells me every mans sin is equal. Base your sin on your level of realization....... I have envisioned a...

    Jesus was a communist

    It might have more to do with military than anything. Communist countries are/were surrounded on all borders by opposing forces. The ideas of Communism were lost in the arms race. Russian technologies were always superior to the US and were spurred from the arms race. Having to defend all it's...

    How do we know about God?

    Sin is one of my greatest struggles. I read of all the sins and sinners and see them as a product of society, chance, even fate. All the brilliant minds in the "free will" given by God, free will to even contemplate "his" existence. Reincarnation is an interesting belief that I can neither...

    Ponder This!

    I have said it before and will say it again...... I see many beautiful things in Christianity and the bible. I would be a fool to say I don't see the same beauty in all religions. Exclusivity is a very ugly view to me, to me it only finds arrogance. I don't find it odd that I find beauty in the...

    Ponder This!

    You must look at what history shows of the Jews in Babylon, and the drastic changes in Hebrew and all translations done beyond this time. You must look at the multiple interpretations of all these writings whether they take an inerrant literal view or a more liberal view. What defines liberal...

    Ponder This!

    This statement is interesting to the point that each character used in Paleo and Masoretic Hebrew also held a numeric value that was used in translations. This held true to Aramaic, Latin and Greek. You may be mistaking their care for the methodology used in copying and translating. This...

    This is incorrect, the Hebrew used in the MT was very different to the Hebrew before the destruction of Jerusalem.

    Ponder This!

    I have multiple posts that say I don't follow the OT, I follow the NT. My point is that the NT earliest text dates to 125A.D. so where did this text come from if it speaks of Moses? It must have come from the same writings used in the OT, from the same translations done from the Paleo-Hebrew...

    Ponder This!

    I don't see how history shows us that Jerusalem was destroyed in 586B.C. and 555-545B.C. book of Daniel was written in Arameic, nothing gradual there. Even the Hebrew written in this time period was different and is referred to as Babylonian Hebrew. This is the Hebrew used by the Masoretic...

    Ponder This!

    I really don't understand where Moses is spoke of in the NT when the oldest dates for a complete text dates to 350 A.D. Codex Sinaiticus. Moses was born in what 1527B.C? Don't you think the History would look more closely at the OT? The Dead Sea Scrolls date to around 200B.C. How does the NT...
