• 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.

  • 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.

No, we just don't understand why we should give special consideration to one belief. I doubt you tell people that they shouldn't say "Santa Claus doesn't exist" or "Unicorns don't exist" just because they don't have evidence against those concepts. I'm personally an agnostic atheist, but I don't see why a straight-up atheist should feel any obligation to use language that waffles between "It doesn't exist" and "I don't know if it exists."


When was the last time or first time a Unicorn baptized someone through his spirit from heaven?

Where is it written and many on earth testify to?

Lame? Really lame to make a point? Just a little?


Acts 1:5. "John baptized by water, but you shall be baptized by the Holy Spirit"

You are making even less sense than usual, Hess.

Never, as far as I know, and I don't see any greater evidence that a higher being has ever baptized a human. Baptism doesn't exactly happen like The Lion King.

Many beliefs that contradict Christianity are also written, and many on Earth testify that they are true.

No (if I'm understanding that terrible middle sentence correctly).

If I told you that if you weren't blind that you would see it happening all of the tim, would this convince you that it was real?

Where is it written and many on earth testify to?

If you weren't blind, you would see the truth, right?

Acts 1:5. "John baptized by water, but you shall be baptized by the Holy Spirit"

Where is the evidence that supports this claim?

Naturalists call the shots, don't they? You nicely set aside the work of the Holy Spirit in opening peoples eyes. You count His work as nothing.

Still waiting for evidence.

"There is no evidence" is what you claim from those taught by the Holy Spirit. You deny there is a Baptism of the Holy Spirit. You say the Baptism does not exist. You say the Baptism is not from Heaven, from the Spiritual Realm, but it is all in a person's head.

This is arrogance, claiming man's "emperical" word over God's revealed word. And you nicely set aside His work from Heaven. You make His work equal zero.

Claims are ten a penny, without evidence they are worth nothing. You have not presented any evidence. Your claims are worth nothing.

I Corinthians 2:10. “For to us God revealed them through the Spirit"

I Corinthians 2:13. “taught by the Spirit"


You nicely set aside the work of the Spirit of God in people, and make His word that comes from the Spiritual Realm equal zero.

Again, you can claim anything you like, you can claim to be in personal communication in your head with Elvis Presley if you want, but it's just so much hot air unless you have evidence. You don't have any evidence for your claims. This should not be difficult for you to understand as you claim to work in science. Your difficulty with this concept is suggestive.

No, but it is the same as God could have done it. Again you can NOT offer an alternate explanation. So we have the best explanation. Until you come up with a better one. Even IF we can not prove to your satisfaction that there actually is a God. Still we can show that Helen Keller benefited from a belief in God. Even if you do not understand or you can not explain her experience.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller


There is more demonstrable, verifiable and testable evidence for schizophrenia, than a god.

So, best explanation wins apparently. That's that, I guess...

So you accept that demons exist but you do not accept that angels exist?

Well, if you're going to have your god supercede everything, then there's no point in having this conversation, as you can then say "God is the best explanation for everything."

(Which honesty explains nothing, having no explanatory power...)
