  • 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.

Better, but your previous post is definately mixed!
I have no control over that.

And guys, for the record, we could talk in tongues all day and night, but I want to make the point that I don't care how many people were going around claiming they were the "messiah."

If they were not born of a virgin, their chatta don't matta.

Is that okay with everyone?

Or should I believe differently?

Besides "Jesus," how exactly do you define truth?



One would think reality alone would be enough to debunk that.



So much for truth.

Truth has many parts to it, doesn't it? In science, there are laws which are true for all time, ie the laws of physics, the laws of nature, although scientists don't call them truths. You cannot break the laws of physics - these are truths that had been discovered.

How were those truths discovered?

Are you saying that Jesus is physics?

No, God created the laws of physics, we merely discovered them.

So what does that have to do with a definition of "truth" which includes Jesus?

Jesus stated that he is the Alpha and the Omega, he is the Beginning and the End, he is God, the Son, everything begins with Jesus and everything ends with Jesus.

Jesus demonstrated that he controls the law of physics throughout his ministry on Earth, through miracles, to demonstrate that he was from God.

Doesn't answer my question -- we were talking about truth, not miracles.

I promise you ... I don't.

I even took a knife and cut up my Zodhiates (sp?) "King James Bible."

When I go to the bookstore to buy a Bible, the first thing I do is look for a King James Bible.

The second thing I do is open It and read Numbers 11:4.

If it says "mixt multitude," chances are, I'll buy It.

It it says "mixed multitude," the piece of junk goes back on the self.

Let someone else buy it, then wonder why we don't have the true word of God today.

Fascinating. Genuine question: why in your view is one particular version of the Bible the truth and all the others pieces of junk?

Because junk wrote them.

I've never seen a King James Bible with a copyright.

We aren't done until you admit that theories and observations are two different things.
Theories and observations are two different things.
The scientific method says that observations need to be repeatable, not theories.
