• 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.

Then why can't it be like that on this earth?

Maybe for the same reason that there are laws of science, there has to be good and evil. So it has to be purified out. It's a tough one to answer.

What I think is no one gets a free ride.

Do you believe that your god makes a judgement of us, in order to determine those who will receive its gift of eternal life...?

Now tell me that my interpretation is faulty......

That last one is not correct. God does not determine who will receive eternal life. Eternal life is a free gift for those who sincerely ask and it is available to all people.

God claims in the bible to have created all things that exist. God claims to exist. God must have made himself by his own proclamations in the bible, no?

X-ing a paragrab, are we?

How many different religions are there in the world? however many there are they are all wrong and evil except for Christianity which just so happens to be your religion, how does that make you feel? are you pleased you were given the right religion or are you sad about those billions of lost souls? do you think your God cares?

I'm sorry? Come again in English?

It's the closest I can come to explaining the fallacy of applying logic across the board.

Like the guy who wrote a report and noticed later that he had written "pwn," instead of "own" in several places.

Rather than change each one separately, he simply ran a program to change the p's to o's.

To his horror, he noticed now that every p in his report was an o.

God created the universe -- this does not imply God created Himself.

I knew better than respond to a troll.


I'll wait for the original claim maker to come back.

are you sad about those billions of lost souls? do you think your God cares?

Ezekiel 33:11(NKJV)

11 Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’

First off, I do not have a religion. I do not like religions nor agree with them. If anything I have a personal relationship with the intelligent designer.

Second, I was not given my faith. I found it. You do not want to know about the stuff I have delved into in my life. Some of it you would not believe.

Third, neither you nor I know which souls are lost or not. And yes God cares. That is why he sent his son to die on a cross. The bible says everyone will have a chance to hear that good news.

My heart palpates thinking of all the amazing things you must be capable of with the supreme engineer whispering in to your ear.

To an atheist feelings are mutt. The heart is only for pumping blood.

The heart can respond to feelings. It doesn't cause them. Anticipation raising heart rate? Yeah. That happens.

Disbelief that Jesus is Lord causes eternal judgment.

What's your point?

What are feelings?
