  • 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.

    Determining Reality

    Pretty much, with more likely i mean such things as walking around as opposed to flying about. Although i haven't personally taken to flying, it's not out of the question, just less likely.

    Determining Reality

    For me reality isn't determined by what anybody says. It's purely based upon my experiences. Nothing is out of the question in my mind, some things are just more likely then others.

    My stepfather is a cruel athiest

    So harden up! There is always going to be people who mock and turn against you because of your beliefs. If your witty and well-versed you'll be able to argue back. If your copping physical abuse due to your beliefs (which i doubt) fight back, don't wait for God to strike them down.

    The Devil Made Me Do IT

    How ridiculous this concept of satan seems, i can think of multiple issues. He tempted jesus? What the heck for?! What could satan ever have to offer that jesus didn't already own? It's like an ant offering me a crumb..... from a loaf of bread out of my own oven!!! Nonsense How did sin even...

    Why is Hell permanent?

    They start out as debates but they quickly turn nasty. Not that it bothers me personally, it's just ironic for christians.

    Why is Hell permanent?

    The aggressive divisiveness among christians is both amusing and discrediting. Using sarcasm, insult and even weaponising beloved scripture to smack your "Truth" upon your "brothers" cheek. I mean you could at least pretend to love one another. Some example

    Sin has changed as humanity has progressed.

    is it possible every religion is a lie and billions of people are wrong

    Of course it's possible, but people like believing in a God who's rooting for them. Gives meaning to your existence.

    Why did God allow sin if He's all-powerful?

    Unfortunately only christian scholars would see it like that. Jewish, muslim, etc would say otherwise. A better question is how sin was able to occur in heaven at all. I was under the impression that there is no sin in heaven. Makes you wonder what else is possible up there.

    Why will every knee bow?

    Ahhh overwhelming someone is the same as hardening their hearts, just like pharoah! Not fair.

    God creates evil.

    Well not believing works too. Actually God does outline evil schemes for him within the bible. Revelation is all about them, e.g anti-christ, mark of beast, arma, epic defeat etc. He also outlines how satan should behave towards human beings e.g keep christians paranoid about the voices in their...

    Why will every knee bow?

    If this is the case then hypothetically couldn't this be changed? What if despite seeing evidence of God you refuse to bow to him and thus leave scripture unfulfilled?

    God creates evil.

    Satan couldn't possibly posses free will, because he follows Gods word to the letter. Why would a free thinking, scheming, deceiving, age-old evil do exactly as the bible (God) says he will? It would be utterly absurd and idiotic. "Hey, i know how i can get back at God and destroy his...

    God creates evil.

    Sure, but it still doesn't absolve the responsibility for creating this evil to begin with. By all appearances, God is playing chess with Himself.
