• 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.

Does Truth matter when we talk about Life?

God says "I am the truth!"

I think we can agree on that we all are trying to find out what is true about life. That means when we talk about what is true about life we are actually talking about the very nature of God itself - we are talking about who God is.

What YEC's are telling me is that the truth about life is confusing (I am referring to the debate creation v.s. evolution now), it seams to be one way while it is another. This is called deception. YEC's are telling me that deception is a truth (they are telling me I cant believe what I see). In other words YEC's are telling me that the nature of God is to be deceptive. But all Christians know this is not true. All Christians knows who the great deceiver is - and it is not God.

I believe what I see, therefore I do not believe in YEC.
I believe in truth, therefore I believe in God?
Do I speak about God if I speak the truth?

Do I have to believe God exists to speak about the nature God?

Can every human understand the true nature of God or only some - the "enlightened"?

I believe what I see,

MANY experiences tell you that it is not true.

And, the sentence is not completed. It should be:

You believe in your interpretation on what you see.

Then you see where the trick is.

Never be sure on anything you see.
