• 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.

You are taking it by faith that the Bible is God speaking to you. You don't know it for a fact. Same for me.
Open Heart
It is the same for me. Faith is so often talked about in a spiritual setting, but we need to be aware of just how big a role faith plays in every aspect of our lives -- completely aside from our religious convictions.

I may not get back to this discussion as I am off to visit family, including grandchildren for one week. My time will be eaten up with other very pleasant activities.
.
God bless you.

One of the most common misconceptions concerns the so-called “scientific proofs.” Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a scientific proof.

I'm laughing.

Because you're funny.

MISCONCEPTION: Science proves ideas.
CORRECTION: Journalists often write about "scientific proof" and some scientists talk about it, but in fact, the concept of proof — real, absolute proof — is not particularly scientific. Science is based on the principle that any idea, no matter how widely accepted today, could be overturned tomorrow if the evidence warranted it. Science accepts or rejects ideas based on the evidence; it does not prove or disprove them. To learn more about this, visit our page describing how science aims to build knowledge.http://undsci.berkeley.edu/teaching/misconceptions.php


Students hold many misconceptions about uncertainty, including:



But there is one thing I really really don’t like about science:
Science can’t prove anything.

Misconception; just because something isn't proven, it is necessarily incorrect.

No he couldn't.
Yes, He could.
Open Heart said:
People would not have understood him,
You mean like these guys:

John 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

Acts 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Open Heart said:
... and would have thought he was crazy.
Like His friends did?

Mark 3:21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
Open Heart said:
He would have lost all his credibility, and then no one would have paid any attention to the gospel.

You mean like here?

Mark 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Mark 6:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.


If He said that today, you'd think He would be addressing a shrewdness of modern scientists.

Sorry but yours go all the way back to the dust of the earth as well.
Go one step further (if you can).

Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

It is not my definition. This word existed long ago already in old english and means knowledge. That is why when we say God is all-knowing we call it omniscience.
Ah, so debate by dictionary. Same thing.

Evolution is a process we can test and is not religious
until we apply the concept to untestable past events.

Past events are testable. We can form testable hypotheses about the past and test those hypotheses with evidence found in the present.
