  • 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.

I'm just pointing out that there were things that Paul didn't know despite being divinely appointed. As is true with all of mankind, including all prophets and authors of scripture.
Of course he didn’t know some things. But he never presented something as from God when it was something he knew wrongly.
And I don't think God has told us anything untrue, but rather, people just don't always translate God's message in ways that we think they should have.
Just like you’ve done numerous times?
Usually people use evidence to reach conclusions. But I feel as though your response operates in reverse where your conclusions result in rejection of biblical, scientific and historical evidence.
People use both evidence and logic to reach conclusions. Evidence by itself isn’t sufficient—you have to apply some type of thinking to go along with the evidence. “Science” is not evidence—its a way of thinking—a good way of thinking as long as you don’t start with the wrong presuppositions.
