• 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.

Have you with Him spread out the sky? which is hard as a molten looking glass. Job 37:18


We are under the hard as a molten look glass firmament that God created.
You realize we just landed a probe on the moon, right?
You forget we have these things called telescopes and space probes.

any aspects of the end times are masked and muddied by the generational lies.
There is far too much to unpack in your post and, for me, no obvious benefit in doing so. However, I would be interested to hear about "generational lies". What are they, who perpetrates them, what is their function and would your provide some examples, along with evidence that they are what you say they are?

Sounds like you haven't been in a school recently.
My youngest finished high school 3 years ago. My brother is a Science teacher who has often stated that he shouldn't be teaching the kids Science, but how to read and write. My father was a school principal who had to constantly fight to get the resources needed for his staff.

That's interesting. A science teacher that doesn't want to teach science. Maybe he should swap with the person who takes English.

He wanted to teach science, but his students were close to illiterate, because the public school system had failed to give them a proper foundation.

Isn't there a common curriculum? Aren't there standards they have to reach? Was it just a poor school?

I don't know why public education has gotten so bad. I have some ideas, but they are completely off topic for the purpose of this thread. The only reason I responded is because some were passing off "flat earth" nonsense as being the result of home schooling, which in my limited experience has produced a very high standard of education.

Sometimes, if a student has trouble reading and writing, the teacher will go ahead and promote him on to the next grade, so as to let the next teacher handle it.

Sometimes, on internet forums, random people make random remarks with no hint of evidence for the remarks, confident that the prejudices, biases and ill-informed opinions of some of the forums members and lurkers will lead to agreement with the random remarks and thereby impact negatively on the state of knowledge of the population at large.

As a responsible critical thinker you can determine whether that observation applies to AV's remark, my riposte, both remarks, or neither.

Translation: He's got me on IGNORE.

Some people invest a lot of their treasures in learning contemporary science, and they're not about to tolerate some idjit telling them their investment is wrong.

As not to spend hours reading through this entire thread, can someone tell me what hasn't been discussed ?
Thanks........
A couple of people on this thread were of the opinion that you were home schooled. It would be nice if that could be confirmed or denied.

If you know anything about our flat plane, you'll know that the earth is surrounded by Iced walls, if we were to take a trip through these iced walls would we find extra lands ?
Here is an interesting video where they discuss this very concept.

I sometimes wonder if this is how the The Tower of Babel was destroyed, the dividing of the earth via (what scientists call today) tectonics.

-

Looks like this happened before the Tower of Babel as the account of The Tower is the next chapter after the statement that the earth was divided in the days of Peleg.
