• 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.

Creationism is about words, ignorance and money, in that order.
Well, the OP challenges us to answer creationism with words; and I feel I have met that challenge.

You cheer for Stalin or you end in the Gulag.
You bow for Pol Pot or you end in the Killing Fields.
You "Sieg heil" for Hitler or you find your end in Auschwitz.
You obey Saddam Houssein or you'l be deported to Abu Graib.

You accept Jesus as your Savour or you'll go to Hell.
Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler and Hussein didn't send their sons to die for your liberty.

I would have put money in the first place.
They needed to feed the ignorant the words, the ignorant being ignorant were unable to understand the meaning of the words so just accepted them, they then started relieving the ignorant of their money, underhand at first but now it's all open and above board and creationists expect to be relieved of their money, it's the price creationists know they must pay to even have a chance.

I think it can safely be said that creationists are people who do not get out a lot unless it's with other creationists,
If I was fleecing the sheep I wouldn't want them straying too far from the fold either, I would warn them to stay away from evilutionists lest they be infected with the evil knowledge.

I feel I've answered your challenge, Tiberius -- hopefully to your satisfaction.

No you haven't, AV. Your answers have been nothing more than, "Because that's what God wanted", a typical creationist non-answer that can apply to anything you want. it tells me absolutely sod all.

Well, the OP challenges us to answer creationism with words; and I feel I have met that challenge.

As I recall, i challenged you to answer my challenge with an explanation. You have given me your guesses, nothing more.

Neither did God really, it's an illusion of sacrifice. We're essentially talking about God incarnate not God's child, can God be killed? Does he lose anything if you kill his Earthly avatar? Is there even the illusion that it's a permanent loss, or does he just spring back to life after a few days?

No, but Adam could.

In fact, he had no history to escape from.

You are mistaken and simply lump everything into age when things like hair, muscle, freckles, bellybutton, fingernails, stature. So are you saying Adam had none of these?

Jesus and the NT writers took Adam literally, and so do I.

no you don't. You come up with all kinds of crazy to justify what you know to be wrong about the bible. Thus you do not take it literally. You add so very much to your interpretation that is not in the bible at all.

That's a red harrying. It doesn't stop god from being a dictator.

Its really akin to any of these men sending thier son to certain death and then giving the ultimatum that they must worship that son or be killed. Its really not noble or just or kind at all.

God could have chosen any sacrifice to be sufficient. he chose his son to die. Not very kind if you ask me. Its also not very meaningful as is said above. He is his son, which basically makes the words meaningless. What was the sacrifice? what was lost? did god loose his son? did he loose a part of himself? not really. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtin

I don't know about the others, but definitely not a bellybutton.

How do you know? Does the bible say that or are you just adding stuff as you see fit again? For someone claiming to be a literalist you sure do add a lot of your own interpretation to the scriptures.
Did you read my last line?

Bellybutton ... scar? get it?

Adam and Eve were not made with scars.

Embedded age is maturity without history.

(And fyi, a bellybutton is considered a scar.)

fyi all aspects the human body are sighs of history.

also your argument gets thrown out of the window when you look at the earth. Scars all over the place and they date back millions of years.
