  • 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.

Science works with the best info at the current moment, and its a self correcting process. Its constantly updated.
Unless you want to go with a 2k old manuscript written by man who thought that diseases were caused by possession....go for it...;)

You show your biblical ignorance. The bible doesn't teach all diseases are a result of possession.

False prophets were probably giving their followers dates of when it will happen just like they're doing today.


I gave a multitude of Bible verses that indicate it was supposed to happen during Biblical times.

May I present here something off your charts.

The Day of the Lord is here, right now. Read Joel 1: 15 in context. Read Joel 2: 1-2. Read Amos 5: 18-20. And many other places.

The Day of the Lord is a period of time, not a single time. And it has come.

People have not expected Him to release the Powers of Darkness before His appearing.

Things have been coming out of the pit for a while upon mankind. And taking its toll.

People have been making all sorts of predictions ever since the dawn of mankind....And if it is as you said ...The Day of the Lord is right here right now,...its been said for about 2k years now,.....that seems to me like stretching the meaning of now a little bit too far off

Who said MUST? Atheist do not claim that no Gods or a God exist, we just that that there is no reasons to believe in one. Its you who insist to make claims on our behalf

But when asked to explain the impossible.....you always fall back onto future science and hope for scientific correction to show there is no need for a God.
Now, as to you and your definition of Atheist....Google it....a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods

Sure of course, I don't usually take mythology seriously. Ok then, what's with all that casting out spirits and all that magic going on?

It depends on how we understand those scriptures. Peter said a day is like a thousand years to God. That doesn't sound like peter was looking for the Lords return any time soon.

You said it, no one says its impossible, just that we don't know now. I know what Atheist means, no reason to believe therefor we don't believe in it,...just like most don't believe in leprechauns, and the easter bunny, big foot...you get the idea

Perhaps you would like to explain where all the stuff of the universe came from. I can definitely say it didn't creat itself from nothing.....as stuff can't be and not be at the same time.

And if I can't explain? Does that automatically means Goddidit? And like I said even if we allow for that? which God or Gods? The hindus believe in thousands upon thousands of Gods,....take your pick, with that many, I'm pretty sure we can all choose our favourites

The moment an atheist says something like that, he betrays the fact that he has a positive disbelief in God, despite his endless protestations to the contrary. EVERYBODY has a positive disbelief in the Easter Bunny, and apparently the said atheist places God in the same category as the Easter Bunny.

It simply means stuff can't self create...it requires a creator.
