  • 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

    How did Jesus fulfil the law and the prophets?

    Argument for God's existence.

    Your are circularly deducing the concept of "supernatural" in this case. If God exist, then whatever nature is, would be an extension of that God. In an Apophatic sense, God would be closer to "conscious nothing" that gives rise to reality of events. It's no more magical than (in loose...

    Argument for God's existence.

    It's only refuted if we begin with certain assumptions about reality that you haven't really justified as viable. If we begin without any assumptions... from perspective of conscious experience, then we are not dealing with the same context for cosmological argument that you would filter...

    Is it logical?

    I think there should be some Google Translate version that converts Christian Lingo into "everyday secular English". A lot of time there's nothing deep implied, but merely an aphorism used to convey some generic desire to make sure that whatever one does resides within the boundaries of "How...

    Argument from truth

    So, a computer therefore can't truly determine the true status of differentiating between A and not A?

    Argument from truth

    I'm just curious. Do you think that God knows all Truth through experience, or mere observation. For example, would God really know what it's like to rape someone in the experiential sense?

    To act on nothing is to do something?

    I didn't really name these "Christian existentialism". I think I share a lot in common in regards to necessity of axiomatic structure that gives us grounds to formulate everything else in relation to these assumptions. Again, lately I don't really have time to write online essays few...

    To act on nothing is to do something?

    I wouldn't say that I'm a deist. First of all, I don't think that religion is static in its narrative. IMO Both science and religion is a puzzle that's humanity is solving, but coming from two different modes of our perception. Science is solving the external context as it relates to...

    To act on nothing is to do something?

    Again, you bring this topic up, and I reply to it :). You asked the question and I answered it. If you want "on topic" replies, then ask on-topic questions instead of jumping to playing into the typical objection of historical "slavery and ills of religion". Could Dr. Strange see any...

    To act on nothing is to do something?

    I wasn't replying to your OP, if you haven't been paying attention. It was a progressive discussion about the nature of "rules" that apply to God. I've made an analogy to QM realm in which classical physical rules that we observe here and now don't apply to the QM realm. To which you...

    To act on nothing is to do something?

    God is source of infinite possibility of "the rules" that can be expressed into any number of possible realities. I keep telling you that you can't cast the logic of the higher-level abstractions on the lower-level events, and you keep trying to force the conversation in the direction of the...

    Bible IS SCIENCE, exposing misnamed 'science' today

    What we call science today is a very strict and reductionist interpretation of the broader context for "sciencia" that it was. First of all, the blind appeal to pragmatic utilitarianism doesn't really consider that all that we've done with science that you are referring to is to find a way...

    To act on nothing is to do something?

    All of our understanding of logic is driven by the constants observed in physical reality. What you call a circle or a square, for example, doesn't exist at quantum scale. There you have events that manifest to us as circle and square by means of recurring events that we can anchor to and...

    The superfluousness of souls

    Well, I can't really comment on your preferences. It's a free country :). All I can say is that both logic and whatever epistemological framework you adopt will be built on intuitive foundation, and these are not superior to that foundation in some settings that are dealing with foundational...

    The superfluousness of souls

    All labeled experience is a human/social construct. What we call a "soul" is first and foremost a subjective experience of self that we tend to delineate from experiencing body or external reality.
