  • 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.

So that's why you are always stepping into meadow muffins?

:confused:
Ya --- make your jokes --- I sometimes wonder if Paul had to contend with the same remarks.

How do you know God is a HE? or She, or It for that matter. Since you were created by God then I have the right to use you at my pleasure?
He spoke to men. He said, 'this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased..' That's why Jesus called Him the Father. No guessing needed. Now, if you want to get into the third person of the trinity, I don't know.

I have a spiritual realm. Its in my head. In it, I created the universe. you have no right to claim that i cant because you cant know anything about this spiritual realm. hows that logic?
Darn straight. Although I can't decide if it is more like a bent nail, or a straight jacket.

There us something that makes the really far out marginal people go to the religion camp, here. Dont see any of the really extreme, confused people talking science. Why is that?
Not sure, but please try to deal in at least some science on this forum. Thanks.

God isn't a "he".

God does not have a sex; the terms he and she denote male or females of the human race. God is not a human, nor is God a male or a female.

Therefore, God is not a he.

I wonder why God is referred to as a he in the Bible, then? Why not a she?

So Jesus is not the son of God, then, according to you, and has no dad. OK. Thanks for clarifying your position. Someone open a window.. ..QUICK!

Oh, the delicious irony.
Let's be clear here, I do not cower from redshift, lightspeed, evolution, radioactive decay processes, or anything else. I invite actual misconceptions of so called science. I take the bull by the horns. Then, I rip them out, neuter the bull, and serve it up rare for the lurkers. Is that bad?

IIRC, the original Hebrew uses a generic "it" which was translated as "he" to avoid objectifying God. As for Jesus referring to God as his father rather than his mother, it makes sense for that to happen in a patrilenial society. The lineages of Jesus's parents are traced through the fathers, not the mothers, after all.

Yes, being delusional is generally not a good thing.

Planning on jumping, dad?

just becauseyou completely missed the point -- again -- is no reason to contemplate suicide.

Seriously, you would be deeply missed... by someone, I suppose.

Nor should you cower from them -- even if you actually understood them, you'd see that they don't threaten God's existence whatsoever.

I invite actual misconceptions of so called science.

Invite them? You've given birth to so many, it'd be rude not to.

I take the bull by the horns.

Actually, you throw the bull, horns and all.

Then, I rip them out, neuter the bull, and serve it up rare for the lurkers. Is that bad?

Your obsession with bovine sex organs has been duly noted.

So you believe God is male?
Since Jesus referred to God as HE, HIM, FATHER, and since He taught us to pray, "Our Father, Who art in Heaven..." --- and since we are followers of Jesus --- I, for one, plan to refer to God as HE, HIM, FATHER.

You may refer to God as such; however, God obviously is not a he.
