  • 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.

Another look at the moon landing.

I do not need to reflect on what i believe or wrote, concerning people claiming to or saying they have walked on the moon.
As long as you're happy - before God - to call your fellow Christians liars. :sigh:
I would suggest you reflect on what you are actually believing, governmnet/man is saying they did.
I don't need to.
Apart from anything else, this has nothing to do with the Gospel, my faith or how I live for God. If all the leaders of the countries involved/NASA/the astronauts said tomorrow; "it was all faked" - so what?
Men walked on the moon - Jesus is Lord.
Men didn't walk on the moon - Jesus is Lord.

Giving public talks isn’t a testament to someone’s character or belief in God. We have charlatans in the pulpit.
Listen to his testimony and make your own mind up.
I worked for a political appointee that knew the president personally and assisted with his campaign. You will never know what happened during his time at NASA. You’ll know what he’s permitted to say and nothing more.
I don't know or care what happened during his tie at NASA.
I am talking about one of the astronauts who walked on the moon, later became a Christian and gives public talks about both, saying that Jesus is more important.
Religion may be a genuine response or coping mechanism. Only the Lord knows for certain.
Religion, possibly.
I'm talking about a living relationship with the Lord Jesus. And I can tell you that I also know whether, in my case, it is genuine or not.
I imagine most other Christians would say the same.

The film if watched speaks for it's self.
It does not. What is the provenance of the film? Can you prove that the film is legitimate?

I agree but his faith came whey after the moon landing
Yes.
But why then give talks, and make a film, saying "The walk on the moon lasted for 3 days - my walk with Jesus will last for the rest of my life"?
Or, "walking on the moon was not the biggest thing in my life - finding Jesus was"?

Why not say, "now I am a Christian and committed to the truth - the moon landings were a lie"?
Why not say, "I fear God more than I fear man - NASA made this all up"?
and as @bèlla said earlier NASA make them sign an NDA.
What did this NDA say?
How do you know it wasn't to promise that they would never reveal technical details (about the rocket, etc) so that the Russians wouldn't get hold of them?
So who knows what Charles said is the whole truth as before becoming a Christian
Well you did.
It wasn't that long ago that you believed him, wrote a prayer on these forums saying "sorry" to God for doubting, asked him to bless the astronauts and said that Flat Earth was a load of rubbish.

Something happened when you watched his testimony that gave you goosebumps, publicly declare that you believed every word and that you had changed your beliefs.
Now, apparently, you've said to God, "sorry, I didn't mean any of that; I shouldn't have said sorry to you in the first place", and have reverted to saying that everyone is lying.
as before becoming a Christian he was prone to greed & money.
BEFORE becoming a Christian.
Who says that he is now? Jesus makes us new creations.

Before he became a Christian, Saul of Tarsus was a persecutor of Jesus - he wasn't afterwards.

That is exactly what the NDA was for. Going to the moon was fully public knowledge including the pictures from the moon and inside the lem and the csm.

Can you prove that the film is legitimate?

If it's not legit, what the heck was Buzz, Neil & Collins doing up there on the day they should have been halfway to the moon ?

Again, provide the provenance that proves this film legit. For all you know this film was falsely stitched together.

It’s a non disclosure agreement. They’re legal vehicles designed to prevent the person from sharing information the other would prefer to remain undisclosed.
Specifically, trade secrets, in-house technology, etc.
They hold up in court save where crimes are concerned. In that case you’re allowed to talk and testify.
So by your own admission such an NDA as you claim the astronauts would have been under would simply not hold up in court
They’re frequently employed by wealthy and powerful persons or entities.
But of course you have no evidence the astronauts were under any such NDA.

So you have clear evidence of when and where the footage was filmed, and that it coincides with the time of their lunar mission? I'd really love to see that evidence.
Or perhaps this is another case of you speaking from your sphincter.

It certainly does. It says, "I am a cobbled together piece of nonsense, created to push an idiots' conspiracy theory". That came across loud and clear.

Not really. Most legitimate videos have provenance including who and where it was taken. The video you cite has no provenance whatsoever.

No it isn't. Buzz Aldrin actually has some integrity, while you lost any you might have had long ago.

An NDA is not for life but typically for a period of time after leaving the employer. My father in law had a NDA and it expired a year after he left NASA.

Was your father-in-law an astronaut?

They’re used by people with means all the time. Even housekeepers sign them.

You may want to read it again. I addressed that.

But of course you have no evidence the astronauts were under any such NDA.

We don’t know anything. That’s the point.

He was an engineer that was part of the team that designed the legs of the lunar module and part of the team that brought the Apollo 13 home. He worked in both the Mercury and Apollo programs.

Apples to oranges

No you didn't. Falsifying landing on the moon in order to justify millions of tax dollars spent would fall under fraud, which is a crime, so any NDA to hide that would be void.
We don’t know anything. That’s the point.
You don't know anything. Don't pretend to speak for the rest of us.
