• 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.

Exactly the same but different ?

you and I also create anything and everything complete and out of nothing in an instant - intelligent design - when we see a thing we do not see it in bits and pieces - we see the whole picture at once or not at all - an unknown activity binds all the sensations of sight,sound,taste,touch and smell - we do not see the sodium and chlorine as seperate entities in a lump of table salt nor do we see the red colour,hard surface and round form of a fountain-pen as seperate entities - twinc

1. What do you mean - "also"?
2. I´m not seeing how your descriptions warrant the use of the term "out of nothing".

I've never really felt like I could create anything.
Somehow any ideas I have always seem to be connected
subliminally to other things that already exist.
Therefore, I can never really call myself a creative person.

Maybe how one creates depends on how one experiences-is
that what you mean?

I thought the title of this thread referred to the other threads by this OP.

Christians more so than most others are aware,at least some are, that we seem to be living in a fallen,fractured,fragmented,false,fake,phoney,vice versa,base over apex world that many accept as okay - even here we must realise and accept that ideas have us and not vice versa - see my topic 'Thought and Thing' - twinc
