• 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.

Obviously God does not force Himself onto any.
Choice is a beautiful thing. God is blameless.


Sure he does, going by your mythology, he created everything exactly as it is. That is the definition of everything abiding by your will.

Truth is truth, and regardless how much one wants to fight against it, it remains strong and conquers all. :)


I totally agree.... perhaps you should learn that lesson then, and stop fighting against truth.

Explain your dilemma.

It's your dilemma, not mine.

You had written:

Good news, God is all the good. :)

You had also written:

God already created it(all goodness)


If God created all goodness, and God is all the good, then God would have to have created himself. Are you suggesting that God created himself? That's your dilemma.

Do you agree that God is good... If not, your[sic] against truth. :)

If God is evil, or if he doesn't exist, you'd be against truth.

In any case, let me pose the following question to you:

Is it preferable to be honest, yet mistaken,
or dishonest, yet accidentally correct?

Who is zeus, a roman fairy tale.

Greek! Jupiter was the "Zeus" of the Romans. And the Greeks definitely believed in Zeus's existence. He wasn't just a myth to them.

And Jesus Christ is a Jewish fairy tale.

God is good friend. Disagreeing with that, proves that it is your dilemma.

One can plant and one can water, but only God can give increase.

God is the only one worthy of praise, not mere man.

If you have learned anything good today, I guarantee, God is responsible for it.

God is all the good. Mankind is a creation. It is difficult to understand.

Please explain the dilemma as you understand it. THINK! Don't just post nonsense by habit. I don't think you get what the dilemma is.
