  • 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.

Evolution is just a theory!

"Look into the future to see how things turn out"????? LOL! That's not what the man made Bible says.
Correct.

The UB doesn't say that.

The Bible says it.

Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

The UB does in fact say quite a bit about the eternal nature of God, but the Bible authors have God pretending to be unaware of Adam and Eves sin before the fact...then later becoming frustrated about his creation of wicked man, purportedly drowns the entire earth, it doesn't work, man is still just as wicked etc. later they have God endorsing all kinds of horrific behavior. Why the inconsistacy? The bible was never written by God, it was written in some cases by the people who mistreated the prophet you cite just as the same religious pig heads rejected Jesus.



3:0.1 "GOD IS EVERYWHERE present; the Universal Father rules the circle of eternity. But he rules in the local universes in the persons of his Paradise Creator Sons, even as he bestows life through these Sons. “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Sons.” These Creator Sons of God are the personal expression of himself in the sectors of time and to the children of the whirling planets of the evolving universes of space." UB 1955

You left something very important out where your ellipsis is.

Didn't your buddies show up and make a mess of things?

God sent them packing.

No, it's a view formed by a sound mind that doesn't have a religious bias to defend.

You have no supporting evidence for your assertion, it's a product of your imagination. You seem to have a deep seated bias against the Jews.

The term imagination would apply to the Jews rewriting of their dubious past,

You have no basis for this other than your biased imagination.

taking ordinary secular history and converting it into a miraculous fiction. Jesus was accurate when he said to them "your father is the devil."

Jesus was saying that the Apostles (all Jews) were of the devil?

They are not true Christians then, according to you?
A true Christian will never attack the Bible or question the veracity of its record. It will be accepted as historical, factual, chronological, as well as spiritual. Study The Genesis Flood by scientists Whitcomb and Morris. Those who knowingly reject the truth of Noah's Flood basically call God a liar, since the Bible record is very clear (Genesis 6:5-7;11-13;17). How can anyone is his right mind and with full comprehension claim that this is a localized flood?

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them...

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth...

17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven;and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

In other words, if a Christian doesn't interpret the bible as 100% correct and literal, than they are not Christians?

Yes, or no?

Of those two "scientists", one has a degree in European history, and the other is a civil engineer. Fairly typical of "creation scientists" really.

But it's okay for a civil engineer and an astronomer to work together on a science project, isn't it?

Know your Bible better, Jesus was speaking to the religious authorities who were opposed to his gospel. These same kinds of corrupt men are the ones who rewrote the Old Testament books.


The Truth will Set You Free
40"But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. 41"You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God."

The Children of the Devil
43"Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.​

There is plenty of supporting evidence for evolution but you live in the Bible bubble and refuse to swallow your pride and see it.

I have no problem with Jews per say, I rather like them. I have a problem with the corrupt Hebrews who distorted their history and those who came after them who more or less knew the truth but were moral cowards before the people.

You know ... like your "Thought Adjusters"?

You are confused, the Thought Adjuster is the spirit of the Father in the heart of man.


Ezekiel 36:27

26"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27"I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

Christians just make stuff up, that's how the Jews ended up with so many cumbersome rules and regulations which were not from God.

I call the corrupt church government a liar, they are the wizards behind the curtain who tell the sincere people that God wrote the books that they in fact wrote themselves.

"Rewrote"? Now you're once again producing the product of your imagination.


40"But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. 41"You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God."

Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
The fact there were evil people living during Jesus' day is not surprising. I really don't see your point here.

There is plenty of supporting evidence for evolution but you live in the Bible bubble and refuse to swallow your pride and see it.

There's no supporting evidence, based on the scientific method, for Darwinist evolution. None.

I have no problem with Jews per say, I rather like them. I have a problem with the corrupt Hebrews who distorted their history and those who came after them who more or less knew the truth but were moral cowards before the people.

Again, a baseless claim. You'll have to prove that they "distorted their history" instead of just offering your opinion that they did.

Urantia is nothing more than the [unchained] sons of God of Genesis 6 on tantrum pills.

Not sure what the weather has to do with anything but the Urantia revelation revealed much more about the Lucifer rebellion which occurred long before Adam and Eve arrived on our world, roughly 188,000 years ago. We know who the "Nephilim" were mentioned in the ancient oral traditions.



77:2.3 "The postrebellion era on Urantia witnessed many unusual happenings. A great civilization—the culture of Dalamatia—was going to pieces. "The Nephilim (Nodites) were on earth in those days, and when these sons of the gods went in to the daughters of men and they bore to them, their children were the `mighty men of old,' the `men of renown.'" While hardly "sons of the gods," the staff and their early descendants were so regarded by the evolutionary mortals of those distant days; even their stature came to be magnified by tradition. This, then, is the origin of the well-nigh universal folk tale of the gods who came down to earth and there with the daughters of men begot an ancient race of heroes. And all this legend became further confused with the race mixtures of the later appearing Adamites in the second garden.

77:2.4 Since the one hundred corporeal members of the Prince's staff carried germ plasm of the Andonic human strains, it would naturally be expected that, if they engaged in sexual reproduction, their progeny would altogether resemble the offspring of other Andonite parents. But when the sixty rebels of the staff, the followers of Nod, actually engaged in sexual reproduction, their children proved to be far superior in almost every way to both the Andonite and the Sangik peoples. This unexpected excellence characterized not only physical and intellectual qualities but also spiritual capacities." UB 1955
