  • 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.

What science? Science encompasses a wide field of studies. What internet atheists tend to do is justify their inferior creation myths by attaching them onto the prestige of operational sciences which drives technology and does not survive on grant money. The provided points were made in the parts you ignored.

What Science? Every legitimate field that does not try to mix mythology into its process, and yes I'm talking about the daycare centre more commonly known as the Discovery Institute where Theist play pretend 'scientist'. And what do you mean by internet Atheist? Are they any different from Atheist that are not found on the internet? And you have it mixed up there buddy, its creationist that tries desperately to justify their creation myths by coming up with nonsensical pseudo crap like ID, get your facts straight.

So is evolution and all life from nonlife. Unless you can show how the modern advances would have been impossible (Penicillin and double helix for example) absent an extensive knowledge of evolution and abiogenesis (life from nonlife). As it is it has no more relevance then an extensive knowledge of ancient Egyptian economics applies to modern economics.

Here, have a read
Evolutionary medicine - Wikipedia
Why evolution matters — evolution.ws
Understanding evolution is important
Relevance of evolution: medicine
How is Darwinian medicine useful?
Evolution in Medicine
Of what value is evolutionary biology in medicine?
ActionBioscience - promoting bioscience literacy
Special feature on evolution and genetics in medicine | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological Sciences

SCIENCE, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

Again which part of 'the bible is irrelevant to the progress of science' do you not understand? Besides looney bins like Michael Behe, do you know of any real scientist that goes,....hmmmmm, whats does the bible say about evolution? Or WWJD regarding the theory of gravity? If any legit scientist attempted to do that, they can kiss their career goodbye. So really what has that load of random words you mention got to do with my statement the "THE BIBLE IS IRRELEVANT TO THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE?"

Are you telling me that GOD was not in control of the situation?

Doesn't matter, this is all about what Abraham was about to do.

Are you telling me that a man who does what is wrong will be able to justify himself before GOD telling GOD but it was you who told me to do these evil things?

God commanded people to kill others before so this is nothing new.

That falls under blaspheming the HOLY SPIRIT which is the unforgivable sin

I don't care about your concept of sin. I don't bow down to the unjustified rules of your deity.

Then don't be "concerned" about what I would do

Be concerned about what you would do

I wouldn't kill my kid even if the creator of the universe demanded it as a sign of devotion.

And I hope you wouldn't either.

I am very glad to hear that

If you ever hear a voice telling you to do what is evil, it's not GOD speaking

Your dusty old holy book disagrees with that statement. Not that I would care.

If I heard any voices in my head, I would immediately check myself into the nearest psychiatric ward, and I would advise you to do the same. ;)

Did you read Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 to figure out this present ministry?

It would make a lot more things clearer to you with regards to the things that are done in CHRIST and the things that are done outside HIS SPIRIT and TRUTH

No it doesn't

It's just that not all know how to handle the word of GOD rightly because they can't combine the detached outward check list of the laws with the proper workings and dictates of HIS SPIRIT

So when God commanded to kill all of the Midianites and Amalekites it was an evil commandment? Or was it good and jolly?
You're not allowed to shorten my post

Should I repost the whole of what I said again so that you can respond properly?

Truncating someone's words are often done when one only wants to hear some of the words and not all of the words.

A lot of people do that with GOD's HOLY BOOK thereby distorting and changing what GOD really did say


That's what Satan did

The rest of your post had no relevance to the direct command from god to commit genocide.

Still waiting for that answer of yours.
The Midianites and the Amalekites were like ISIS but worse. They kidnapped the Israelites women and children (David's two wives among them), and burned and plundered Israelite villages for many generations. They were also in the practice of burning babies alive. The Israelites cried out for justice and God answered. Destroying them completely was warranted.

2 wrongs make a right? And every single one of them was evil? Including the infant boys? And how does that justify slavery? 32,000 girls who have never slept with a man were kept as slaves.

And were the animals sinning too? What did the Oxs and sheeps do to offend God?
"From man unto woman, from infant unto suckling, from ox unto sheep, so that the name of Amalek not be mentioned even with reference to an animal by saying "This animal belonged to Amalek" "

Killing non-combatants (children, animals, women, elderly, sick people) is justified? I don't think so.
And I think it's sick that people try to come up with excuses for that.

I gave it to you but it has no relevance to you because the carnal man is still a carnal man
And he can't accept the things of the spirit

Ye must be born again



I will try again

The outward law and commands came to us outwardly upon stone cold tablets. But it's only through the NEW and EVERLASTING COVENANT that these outward laws moved inwardly upon the fleshly tablets of our hearts

Where they belonged from the beginning

I've never seen you give a straight answer. But you are an excellent tap dancer.

I take from your post that you think god was wrong in commanding the genocide of the Midianites and Amalekites and I am glad should you feel that way.
