  • 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.

Cloning?

Control isn't what I'm talking about. I mean being a roadblock to what God wants to accomplish. Doesn't mean he won't plow through us, but...

Even the Bible talks about men dying before their time. How so if we cannot be a hindrance to God's will?
Well you're diving into (what I would consider) a very deep topic, if time is made non-linear, then isn't it possible to die before being born.

:confused: I dropped in on scientific stuff. Non-linear?
lol, fair enough, linear is like doing something from start to finish, eg, watching an entire movie.

Non-linear is being able to do things in whatever order, such as clicking hyperlinks on this webpage.

Ahh, I see. I like to think of God as an omniscient narrator, weaving in and out of time. He is the beginning, middle, and the end. Life on the otherhand is linear for us. If it were non-linear, humans would have probably killed themselves before being born!!! :D I mean, we are half way dead now with all the nuclear technology and extreme subjects on ethics and morality!!!

We are half dead, which is why there are more people in the world than ever before and on average we tend to live longer?

Well we live longer now because vegetables were introduced into the English diet (I learned that in American History once we got to go to North America!!!!) Really though, we are half dead now spiritually, not necessarily physically, and I am talking of the saved verses unsaved. Our war is destroying the world and not many realize it.
