  • 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.

God says that mans pride is foolishness, and that humility is true wisdom. God says also that mans wisdom is foolishness as well. To deny God and think we are wise, is the ultimate in arrogance, as God sees it. Sure, an atheist can think he is wise, and think that Gods ways are foolishness, but this only proves one thing, which is that the natural carnal man doesn't receive the spiritual things of God, nor can he. IT proves also that unbelievers and believers cannot have agreement, and to try is folly. Sure, i will be seen as a fool for my faith in the Lord, and the scriptures say the same, however this is why we walk by faith not sight, we believe because God has given us faith, and in the end he will prove every mans folly and prove that He alone is Lord and master

What if a god exists that rewards people for using reason and logic as a guide?

Christians dont use reason and logic? You prove my point, that atheism is not open minded but instead is prone to bias which leads to false doctrine, even in atheism and science. Christians use logic and reasoning, they however also use something that you do not understand, we are guided by Gods spirit.

Without God, all men are blind, and prone to bias, delusion and false doctrine. This is true even in science. I know that atheists wont agree, but its still true. Its also true that its impossible for natural minds, blinded by delusion, to agree with spiritual minds.

Aren't you the one who claimed atheists are foolish and blinded?

No, thats what God says. Not just atheists however, but even some Christians as well. To acknowledge that we are all foolish, and to humble ourselves in reverence to God, this is wise.

Sadly you believe that, but this is because you will not seek God by faith, and he doesnt show you the truth. Some people waste their lives in any number of vain pursuits, only to die without ever seeking God who created them, which is the only thing that actually matters. To seek wealth, power, status, this is grasping after the wind. Also, to seek education but not God, is also grasping after the wind. In Gods eyes, those who acknowledge their foolishness, and give God alone glory and honor for his mercy and his power, this alone is wise.

You're projecting here. Not necessarily the best way to understand another's beliefs.

Yes, the bible was written by men.

They don't seem to fare much better with him, either.

This is true even in science. I know that atheists wont agree, but its still true. Its also true that its impossible for natural minds, blinded by delusion, to agree with spiritual minds.

How long have you believed you were superior?

Im projecting only the truth, which God reveals to us by His spirit. Sure its foolishness to you, but thats the way of man. He sees only himself, but not God who created him. What is there to believe? You say God doesn't exist, i say he does. The bible says we cannot have any agreement together. Therefore trying to understand each other is futile. There is only one thing to understand, which is we were born and will die. Then we have no more to say, but instead God will have the last word. HE has the first word, and will have the last as well.
