• 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.

Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

If Eden is Pangaea, then eastward in Eden would be toward China.
-_- east is kind of a subjective placement on a globe.

Indians took slave,
We have a story here that the Indians kidnapped two little white girls. Years later they were returned to their family. Only there were two girls and they had grown so much that they did not recognize who was who. Only one of the girls remembered a song that her mother sang for her when she was very young. So that was how they identified them. Not all the so called slaves wanted their so called freedom. They became to assimilated into the Indian culture. They did not really belong any where. Perhaps today they would call this the Stockholm syndrome. The known can be less scary then the unknown.

There is a joke with the Chinese. That the westerners like to get a Chinese symbol tattoo. Only the symbol turns out to be a bad word and not the uplifting symbol they thought it was going to be.

Josh, I feel I should mention that when I said Indian, I meant people from the subcontinent of India, not Native Americans.

Actually, based on the rivers stated to be by Eden, yes, even the bible implies pretty darn near Africa, if not in it.

Based upon what - the course of rivers today after the flood? When mountains rose and valleys fell and rivers dried up and new ones were formed?? I'd say it's pretty well useless to use existing landmarks for what existed prior.

Psalm 104:8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them.
