  • 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's wrong with death when you're not YOU?

Any progress from your god on the HIV and AIDS front?
Yes but science is quick to cover for themselves. When we show them two aids tests the first positive for Aids and the second negative then Science is quick to say there is an error in their test and sometimes they get a false reading. For cancer they still use the spontaneous remission theory. I know people that are in a 10% category according to their doctor. So if you want to try to match us on that let me know.

I thought it was ancient Egypt. They've found various pots with corroded copper and iron in them. They might well have been primitive batteries, but I don't know whether that's just speculation or not. I saw it on one of those 'Amazing mysteries of the ancient world' type programmes.

The possibility of false positives/false negatives was already understood before the test was ever administered.

All I am saying is if we produce someone that has been healed of aids then science is going to say the first test had a false reading. That is the excuse they use to try to worm their way out of having to explain how the people got healed. This is a lot more common in Africa but there are people here in this country that are healed. They usually do not talk about it a lot though.

Well, considering that false positives are a real thing, and that there is currently no proper cure for HIV/AIDS, it is not unreasonable to suggest that the first test was a false positive. Even if a person had an true positive test and then later a true negative test without receiving any treatment whatsoever, the possibility of some sort of natural immunity cannot be ruled out. So for both of those reasons, when a positive test is followed by a negative test, there's no basis for invoking God as the reason.

The bottom line is still the same. We get people healed of Aids and your going to find a way to explain it away. The only "proper cure" is the miracle power of God working in their life. Of course when people are healed then they have to turn away from their sin. If they go back to their sin then they could end up getting sick all over again.

What sin? Getting a blood transfusion is a sin? A nurse accidentally pricking his finger on a tainted needle is a sin? Getting raped is a sin?

Most of the people we deal with are in Africa got aids as a STD. As I already said the people your refering to here usually do not want to talk about it when they get healed. They like to just keep it to themselves and not make a public issue out of it. They have no reason to prove anything to you. Esp when your just going to call their cure an error in your test. There is nothing we can do if you do not want to accept the truth.

And the evidence of these miracle cures are?

You do know that one AIDS test is never enough to confirm that someone has AIDS. Unless they have greatly improved. There used to be more false positives than people who had AIDS. Usually people would be retested with another more thorough, more accurate, and more expensive test if they get a positive on the first one. They probably are better now, but I am willing to be the "miracle cures" that you are talking about were only false positives.

Did you mean 'when it's not you?' although that would be silly too. Nope, completely baffled.

No I meant "when you are not you". Absent from the body, present with The Lord.

What!?

Poor example. Try again.

One more time the Bible made it clear in the prophesy that Tyre was the island, not the mainland. Read your Bible. The prophesy failed.
