• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Illogical beginning of the thought.
If God is God, then no matter what, He will NOT lie.

The rest is something else. First, in order to continue the understanding, you MUST admit before any reasoning is made: God will NOT lie.

With that premise, now we can start to seek an answer to the question.

I reject that premise, for both a lying god and a truthful god will say they do not lie. So how does one know which your god is?

No. You do not always know.
One trusts a god not because he fully understands what that god said.
One trusts a god because he no longer doubt anything that god said. The trust is a pre-requisite.
You suspect a god is lying, then he is not a god to you.
We do not trust God first, then begin to doubt on what He said.
