• 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.

Please reread and quote where I said I can read fluent arabic.


Then you have no basis for your claim about the Quran. Again, you are not thinking logically at all today.

gradyll, when you make a claim there are logical implications to that claim.

If you are implying that it makes me evil or a liar then once again by your "logic" you are too since you seem to think that you have the same ability.
Oh the old...you are too" mentality mature.

You can read a million verses and never understand. it's the reason why God calls evangelists and teachers and gives them gifts from heaven to empower them to read and understand the bible. it's encoded, read away. lol

You made the accusation. You did not think it through logically. If anyone is lacking in maturity that would be you.

Once again you are projecting your flaws upon others. You tried to make an accusation that was not true, and you did not think it through.

Many think parables were meant to illustrate and explain truth, parables were messages that were encoded so that "seeing the may see and never comprehend" it was later decoded for only the diciples. Again read all you want. we are here to help.

Again, this is your claim. You need to be able to support it. Using the Bible to support it is just circular reasoning and by those standard the Quran is true since you can use the Quran to support the Quran.

"Quote mining" is taking a quote out of context to support a point which the original author may not agree with.

Quoting out of context - Wikipedia

Creationists often resort to this technique; when used with Scripture they call it "proof-texting."

This has already been explained ad naseum in this thread. gradyll just doesn't want to accept how language works. (Or dictionaries for that matter.)

At this point I'd wager we're either dealing with someone immune to reality, or we're being trolled.

He did supply an excellent video on peer review that actually refuted ID. Perhaps I should link it again for him.
