• 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.

  • 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.

A code needs a coder.

Heathens write for Satan and the Beast but us saints are forced to write and speak for our Creator.
You mean there are more around who believe as you do?

What do you call your denomination?

The true Church of Christ is the invisible Spirit of God.
So the true Church consists of only one Person? the Third Person of the Godhead?

Only those who are chosen by God to be reborn in His Spirit will hear the true Gospel I preach to them.
So now you're a Calvinist?

I beg your pardon?

I'm an independent Baptist.

There is ONE CREATOR and a computing MACHINE called the Tree of Life that he converts his thoughts with to build a simulation program called Eternal Life.
Where does this ONE CREATOR keep the servers for this Tree of Life MACHINE?

It, for example, doesn't mean the same as in the sentence "C++ is a code".

I don't think so.
C++ is not a code. It makes code.
But DNA is an object, it could be represented by a complex code.

None of God's characters will ever see our Creator or any computing technology that was used to create his simulation program. In fact, in Paradise, we will be so busy being entertained by everything that God has planned for us that we won't care how we're created.
I just wondered if you knew where he kept the servers?

Psalm 16
3: As for the saints in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.

Psalm 79.
1. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; they have defiled they holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2. They have given the bodies of thy servants to the birds of the air for food, the flesh of thy saints to the beasts of the earth.
3. They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
4. We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those round us.

Psalm 116
16. Precious in the sight of thy Lord is the death of his saints.
What version are you quoting?

Yes, the natural world can sometimes be described using hyperbole, as is the case for DNA.

Do you mean DNA is not describable by machine language?

In geology, we partially code a natural object all the time. I don't see why can't biology do the similar.

I'm saying that conferring a certain definition on something to serve an agenda does nothing to help our understanding of the natural world.
