• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Miles Mathis is known for spouting nonsense on almost anything he deigns to share his opinions about. I see no reason to believe this being different and anything but a waste of time. If there is something you want to discuss, I suggest you write those points yourself instead of posting a pdf document.

Perhaps since He is Light, while promising never to destroy the world again with water, a display of the infinite colors of light He is, revealing Himsrlf in a unique way.
By refracting Himself through water droplets?

I don't know about that .. but Mathis seems to think:
Mathis said:
It turns out that Descartes was completely wrong. Rainbows are not caused by a refraction of sunlight by a triple bounce inside a raindrop. Nor are the colors split in the way claimed, with red being refracted by different drops than violet. That is all just a fairly ingenious myth.
The Sun is commonly behind us at certain angles, it is true, but that is because the rainbow is primarily a reflection of the Sun cast upon a field of moisture or dense atmosphere from behind. A bright patch in the far sky acts as a reflector, and the dense atmosphere in between acts as a screen. We are seeing a cast image of the Sun in the sky. In this way, we see that Alexander's band is actually an image of the least luminous band of the Solar corona.

A rainbow just like a sun dog is a reflection off the firmament.

"seems" is the critical word in this sentence.
Yep .. for me, nothing he writes is ever straightforward.
What came up for me as I was reading it was like: Where are his models describing what he's talking about? Its all words .. with no objective models(?)
