• 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.

This is something I thought of as a way to demonstrait the authority of the bible. I will put it in the form of a conversation.

Believer: Do you believe in what the bible sayes?

non believer: No, it is a book writen by men. So it isn't true.

Believer: Well if I wrote down "At domino's pizza you have to make a pizza in 45 seconds to qualify as a level 2 assistant manager" Would you believe that?

non believer: Yes

Believer: Why would you believe what I wrote and not what is writen in the bible?

non believer: Because you worked at domino's. And I can check your story out.

Believer: Those who wrote the bible were there too when all the things they wrote about were going on. You can check their stories out too.

non believer: But people get things wrong.

Believer: So it must be inspired by God to have so MANY PEOPLE OVER SO MUCH TIME write things that coraspond with each other perfectly.

Amen!So true. h
ow about this.

We should not just rely on faith
Ok, so why do people work for 2 weeks with no pay?
because they will get paid in 2 weeks
So you work and toil, sweat and worry...rise up early and commit eight to ten hours on the faith that your employer will pay you? In fact you base your housing, food and clothing on this faith? Yes?
Uh, I would not call it faith, but I guess if that is what you want to call it.
And this faith is in a boss who might lie or cheat you, right? There are many examples in the law books, no?
Ok...so what is your point.
Why do you find it easier to have faith in a human being who might lie to you, than in the Lord who never lies?

Hello Everyone

I am trying out my first post here. To me, Bible authority is so simple:

Regardless of how we feel
All authority is given unto the Lord!
