• 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.

But ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed scriptures do not attain God consciousness; they fall down. For the doubting soul there is happiness neither in this world nor in the next.

Yeah, you obviously missed the point. No surprise there.

Mark 4:12

"they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding"

So?

You remain incapable of providing any good reason why anyone should accept your claims. Posting Bible passages about how some people can see but not perceive doesn't mean you are right, and it doesn't make your baseless claims about Atlantis true. Again, I will say that if you want to convince people, you must provide good evidence. Provide that, and I will believe ANYTHING you say.

you wouldn't ask for evidence if you had faith

Faith is unreliable. People had faith that heavy things would fall faster than light things. People had faith that the sun went around the Earth. People had faith that the world was flat. People have faith in lots of things that turn out to be wrong.

I don't believe without evidence


I believe and the evidence is there


you doubt and the evidence isn't there

From where I sit, it seems like you believe and then you just decide that whatever agrees with your position is evidence.

I used to be that way. I would even distort, or make up evidence. I mainly did it to entertain my friends with "Tales of Mystery". I was only nine at the time, so perhaps there was some excuse. :)
