• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Now going back to Enoch. Twice over the last 15 years I have gone back to Enoch, and have not found the same metaphor and second layer that I find in scripture. If you can show them, I am willing to learn... see my rule on humility.

I do not agree that God cannot show people things without them reading the Bible. I do not put God in a box and say that someone cannot be a prophet and give more of God's Word. But it is to be tested against what we already have, logic, reason, morality, the Holy Spirit in us if we have it.

Since I never said that God CANNOT show people things without them reading the Bible... you are talking to your self again.
I said that you cannot claim that God told you something and expect anyone to believe it it what he told you is not in the Bible.
Strike 1. I will not constantly answer things I did not say and I will cut you off from further discussion.


The copies of the Bible we have today also are not free from errors unfortunately. I have studied this enough to clearly see that an infallible text in every jot and tittle is a pipe dream, unless God reveals us where one is, or sends one down to us.

Such arrogance... you have studied enough, yet you cannot interpret the hidden layer. What appears to be contradictions and errors are often intentional riddles. You have said more about you than the scriptures.


I sorry but it is very clear that the Scriptures of the Canon point to other books outside it.

Your assertions mean nothing with out support. You have continually refused to discuss the issue here and insist we go elsewhere to read you magnificent works. If it is so obvious, if it is so clear, then make the case in two paragraphs, otherwise I will no longer entertain you with copious posts of evidence. You are losing my interest very quickly.
