  • 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.

    Trouble trusting God

    Hello, I've been through a lot lately, had several serious medical conditions that God has brought me out of, but there is the potential for them to pop up again at any given time. I have PTSD, and have had panic attacks with episodes of psychosis. I remember these episodes very clearly, and...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    I respect you opinion, and I agree that it can be frustrating to talk to people who won't believe the Bible for rational reasons. But was the Lord talking about Moses' Law, or was He talking about the book of Genesis? I am honestly asking from a position of ignorance. Did Moses write Genesis...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    I acknowledged my error in my post at the bottom of the third page. I looked farther on in the the translation I was analyzing and it mentions "dust" when it specifically talks about the creation of Adam. I don't know, I guess I like to look at the dividing issues among believers and...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    What is an OP? I just said I was talking about another member's message, brother.

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    I was talking about Michaelmynameis' response, not yours Hammster. I can understand how you could perceive my question as questioning the truth of scripture. However, I am questioning the truth of doctrine. I believe all things that we hold true in this life should be Bible-based. I simply...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    Agreed 100%, Awaken4Christ. I only brought this up because I am sick of people focusing on such divisive issues to the point that they make their entire faith about them. When non-believers think "Fundamental Christian," they generally think not so nice things. I was a non-believer once, and...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    And this is coming from a convicted Christian.

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    And Blue Lion, I'm going to say another thing. That kind of attitude is exactly why the numbers of Baptists in the world are shrinking. Saying that a simple question about scriptural accuracy "goes against" the Baptist forum is the same close-minded attitude that turns young people away. I...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    Watcher man, please read my original post, and the link I mention, and see page 21 of the literal translation of the Hebrew text, which does not mention dust at all. I take exception to that comment, Blue Lion. If you read my earlier post about the LITERAL translation of the Hebrew text, the...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    Lots of views, no replies :) ...I heard something about the Bible saying the Earth has been around for 6,000 years...is that an actual Biblical reference? What book?

    Why do Christians hate theory of evolution?

    Thanks everybody for your contributions. Perhaps I am a believer in the intelligent design concept too. I honestly don't know much about it, but it sounds more down my alley than creationism, simply because I cannot find any references to creationism in the Bible. Is the "6,000 years"...

    Why do Christians hate the theory of evolution?

    I ask this as a former Catholic of 16 years, subsequent atheist for 8, and current non-denominational Christian for 4 years. After I left the Catholic church, I examined all the reasons in my mind I thought that Christianity was wrong, until I had a spiritual experience that led me back to God...

    When does God stop loving you?

    P.S. The funny thing is, there is no other way that I would have come to God and fully accepted Him unless I was put in this exact situation. And He gave me exactly what I needed to rise out of it.
