  • 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.

Hows it going Netzarim,

When I saw your topic of choice I simply said woo-wee! he's going to be raked over the coals by the mockers for that one. But dialogue is good it defines who's who. Nice job at not losing your temper your a better man than me. I would have busted back a long time ago.
I don't worry about comets I think them inconsequential it is a epic coronal mass ejection that ushers Armageddon and when that happens it will happen so quickly only those that know the scriptures will know where we are in time.

Have you heard of the electrical universe theory?

Can you show me another video of the sun where the sun's plasma appears stationary and fixed over the course of three-plus hours?

I don't know if it's just a matter of my glasses being better than yours, but there is movement on that vid you posted- and it looks about normal to me for three hours. Have you spent much time on this stuff before? You won't see a lot of changes sometimes for a long time on the sun, and then you might see a sudden change. It's not abnormal or suspicious.

I have no idea why you are so attracted to conspiracy. It's weird from my perspective.

I've seen other videos from SDO/AIA which shows very obvious movement by the sun and its plasma over the course of a couple of hours, for example:

NASA SDO AIA - July 20, 2010 Flare - YouTube

Maybe it's just my eyes, but I do not see any movement whatsoever in the perihelion video for ISON over a similar length of time:

Nov. 28, SDO AIA 211 frozen frame during ISON perihelion

I have no idea why you are so attracted to conspiracy. It's weird from my perspective.
What makes this a "conspiracy"? How is it unlawful, wrong, or subversive to observe and dialogue about oddities in the universe, or to pay attention to celestial signs and other things which YHVH asked us to pay attention to? ISON is an unusual celestial object, so, to me, that tells me this thing deserves greater attention and study.

I'm not forcing anyone to participate in my thread. Anyone who is interested may participate, those who aren't may also feel free to not participate.

My point exactly. It's never the same. Different kinds of photography record different phenomena as well- depending what they are looking for.

Please watch the live feed I linked to you and you will have a lot of this sorted out.

You really don't listen. This is a problem between us. I think you are looking for conspiracies, not that you are being conspiratorial.

When someone says-

"Then maybe you can explain how NASA broadcasted a still picture and offered it as a live feed of ISON's perihelion."

It sounds like they don't trust NASA and believe that they are trying to pull a fast one on the public.

Also, this thread is of enormous interest to me- because I like astronomy, and I don't like misinformation or incorrect assumptions. I like truth.

You can look to the Heavens for signs and portents your whole life, and if that floats your boat- fine. Just get the data right before you start handing out the ascension robes.

I'm sure this is a problem for you, since (to my knowledge) you come from an authoritarian, hierarchal position in your church where you probably expect others to listen submissively; where "Doctors" and "Professors" and "Reverends" and "Bishops" deliver authoritative fiats as masters and teachers over the "little people". ;)

Regretfully :D, I reject such hierarchies. Messiah is my only Master and Teacher, and, from my perspective your opinion is no more or less valuable than any other believer's.

When did I talk about ISON being associated with "ascension"?

Yeah, you are all idiots (me included) and Shambolic? that's a new one. I guess we better get our data in order, I mean can't you come to a discussion board and have all your ducks and thoughts and beliefs already worked out and nice and orderly? :doh:

Too bad, I think for now, at least we are allowed to speak about G-ds word and him telling us about his creation and why he put things in the sky for us, not just to amuse us or entertain us but to communicate with us.

Speculators continue! :D

That's probably the worst flame you could ever make to someone in my position, who is a servant. I gave my whole life up to feed, clothe, and yes, teach anyone who asks of my time. I submit to my church council and am under their authority. If you had a clue about real church life, you might have figured out that clerics have almost no authority when in an orthodox setting. Try it sometime.

What have you done for your community????????????? Oh....do you even have one? Who do you serve? Who do you give up all for?

That's all well and good, but I submit to you that you could learn a lot by being serving others as commanded by Messiah. That includes His teachers. Not me, just someone who you could possibly admit to being wrong to.

I was using a tool of grammar, which was not meant to be taken literally. That's how language works. See the other thread.

You want my attention- well- you have it.

What think ye of the collection and assesment of astronomical data by the scientific community regarding ISON and how (pray tell) does that enhance or detract from your faith-life?

I'm not flaming or demeaning you or so-called "clergy". From my perspective, I am elevating every believer into the status of "clergy". That's all.

I will not descend into an argument about "what have I done for Messiah lately?" as a point of comparison or judgment of our worth before Messiah.

I have no problem to admit when I am wrong, and I will be happy to be the first to say so if news about ISON completely fizzles out over the next month or so. :clap:

That's what I believe too. Ordination is not an elevation, but a commission.

Then don't judge others first!

It's fizzed out- just the dust now. I really, really would love it if we went through some of the dust. It might be a good show! But I don't think it looks like happening.

I believe all believers are commissioned in the same way.

Can I judge second?

Yes, Amen! We are all brothers and sisters, I hate the Nico laitians just as much as Yeshua but that is a no-no here too so we can't mention that.

I personally think it's presumptuous to think we know anything about the universe. I think it is good to watch, study history and compare now-day happenings. Just think of the lives lost over wrong interpretation of the Bible comparable to what could be observable in the heavens.

Didn't the Church burn Galileo at the stake for heresy because he proposed heliocentrisism instead of geocentrisism ?

I feel comforted when called a a heretic when I think of how his ideas were interpreted. He was burnt at the stake for it. I have a distant relative who was the first Protestant ArchBishop of Canterbury in the Anglican Church. He also was burnt at the stake and recanted his recanting of beliefs against the Church and their doctrines. Maybe it's in the blood, I come from a long line of reformers on the one side of my family. :)

We should search the skies and search the Scriptures to hear what HaShem is trying to tell us, this is always a good thing! :thumbsup:

Your quote was removed, even though it called this discussion idiotic.

I really can't take any more 'attention' from you, my 'dance card' is full right now.

This is getting idiotic. Shambolic. Just stop it already.

ISON is dust, and that's about it. See here. As I said before, it's been proven by the sceintists and yet you (looking at Netz of course) still deny it. ISON's remnants are not on a collision course with Earth. It will pass over the earth at quite a distance.

It's a shame NASA puts data out there that internet "experts" can't intepret properly but make pontifications on. Already on this thread you've got some YouTube'r completely destroying the data making out there is some conspiracy to hide the facts of the comet, and now we have people ignoring the data put before them (eg the live feed pretty much declared the comet deceased- what you see if a trail of dust and debris- no comet) still hoping that they get their fill of religious armageddon. This is possibly the best reason I have seen to propel people into atheism.

Try the Evolution vs Creationism forums. That area can propel people even quicker.
