• 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.

What are we "supposed to accept as truth"? What is your evidence that supports that whatever that is IS the truth?
I accept Jesus as Truth. He said the prophets were cool. Moses too. So one can use the Scripture to measure what is true and a lie.

The only "truth" that I can see is that which we can show with objective evidence.

Great, so you admit how far you can see.

So let's agree that Jesus has some basis in reality (that it was a real person or at the very least was based on real people/a real person), people have a tendency to exaggerate.

Once again, how do you know what Jesus said?

Do you have anything besides circular logic and faith in a book with hundreds of failures to support this view?

A person may tend to do that if a person was allowed. However the witnesses were many. In fact there are millions alive now. I am one.

Your purported failures are a dream.

You don't personally meet Jesus, so you can't really say you know Jesus
False. Believers know Him Personally in their hearts and lives, and through His word, that His real alive Spirit brings to life for them.

Many who do not know. So?


You mean "Many who do know".

Without evidence there is no more of a reason to believe in your god than any other. All religions make the same claims. They can't all be right.

How do you know that your feelings are correct and others are wrong?

We have physical evidence that supports our claims, what do you have that supports yours?
