• 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.

A new error

Speaking of that, have you ever heard the saying:

He who is born once, dies twice; he who is born twice, dies once.
Indeed, I have!

Have you ever heard the saying:

"Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

That "prophecy" has been interpreted in all sorts of ways. In fact it is thought to be history, an event that happened before it was written, by many scholars.
I'm confused.

Are you now saying Luke didn't make an error?

After all, it's not that hard to force-fit a prophecy that 'happened before it was written,' is it?

Um ... no.

I believe it goes:

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, sham on me.

No, it is clear that the author of Luke, who may or may not have been Luke (who never was an eyewitness at any rate) made an error at best.

That would be the least of his "crimes". Misinterpreting Daniel only adds to them.

Absolutely nothing, it just proves Thor is real, as it's HIS day.

OK, thanks. It is the Thor's day. (why is the Thor listed at the 5th?)

Thor is real. So what?

Then you calculate it and tell me the year.

Or are you afraid you'll err as well?

Luke didn't have any 21st century technology at his disposal ... you do.

So it should be a piece of cake.
