  • 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

    O That the Atheist....

    I don't think he was an atheist. All the disciples appeared to have a problem believing Christ was resurrected, including Peter who prior acknowledged Jesus as being the Christ, Son of the living God. They all received their proof at some point after the resurrection. Thomas required more proof...

    O That the Atheist....

    To give an example of what I meant by beyond human capability (as we know it); if someone or a group of people came along who were able to move objects with their mind, the atheist would have to acknowledge psychokinesis as a verifiable force due to witnessing it. They can assume the...

    O That the Atheist....

    The atheist generally require physical/material evidence for any proposal, which can result in a big problem. Since the unseen spiritual realm is out of the question; when evidence is given for something beyond human capability, and defies the general pattern of nature, they have no choice but...

    Is modern secular society headed down the path to Sodom and Gomorrah.

    Eventually the earth of course will experience the same plight as S&G, so I entirely agree that we're heading in that direction. I consider the generation we're in now the Sin Responsibly generation. The idea that sin in moderation is okay as long as it doesn't directly harm the public or self...

    I agree that Moses was meticulous, and followed any instruction from God to a "T". I don't think though that the illustration of a non-literal snake, who was definitely Satan would break that rule. Whether by a personal revelation, or having the information passed down. Some of the reasons I...

    Is modern secular society headed down the path to Sodom and Gomorrah.

    Yeah, this doesn't sound like a religious issue. It almost sounds more like a communist anti-intellectual/bourgeois thing.

    Is modern secular society headed down the path to Sodom and Gomorrah.

    I agree with you. It's not just about danger. The reason I pointed that out was because S&G at the time of their destruction, was at a particular level of sin where God saw fit to destroy them. And the number of people counted as righteous were few, and were able to evacuate in time to avoid the...

    Ostrich wings, Intelligent design. Goofed up?

    You base the idea of YECs creating unscriptural miracles on viewing the written Word as a story, and what humans and human instruments conclude in conjunction with your earlier question "were you there?". If Jesus Christ came to you today in divinely unquestionable form, and clearly told you...

    Ostrich wings, Intelligent design. Goofed up?

    I'm aware that there's evidence of a great flood that some believe was a catalyst for creation of a myth(s). I'm just not sure how you separate the idea of a message in story only format, from an actual literal event. There are I'm sure messages we could suggest from any historical event, like...

    I kind of lost track of this particular conversation, but I believe it's up to the individual to decide which parts of the bible they consider literal, figure of speech, allegory, poetic, stories, etc. The question I have is do you, and some others, view a literal interpretation of, say...

    Is modern secular society headed down the path to Sodom and Gomorrah.

    There have always been similarities with any society, and Sodom and Gomorrah. One particular society that often seems to be associated with S&G, is San Francisco. However, San Francisco is far from S&G which appears to have been cities that were lawless, at least in terms of human rights of it's...

    Do you think deism is a religion? If they are attempting to inject bible scripture into a science class, then they would be pushing the specific religion Christianity. If they are attempting to inject Quranic scripture into a science class, then they would be pushing the specific religion of...

    I had actually posted at an atheist forum once. This is a walk in the park compared to that. I didn't stay there long, so yeah, I know what you're saying!
