• 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.

Whether I accept someone's story or not, I still want to make sure I've got their story straight. That's the intel analyst in me.
You are welcome to memorize and categorize and take seriously that big lie if you like. I do not swallow it or imbibe it into my heart and mind, thanks. The Evo string of stories is a conflation of vicious anti creation, and Genesis, anti bible cunningly devised fables that are dressed up as something else

It was not the birth of Jesus I was talking about specifically,
Yes it was. The virgin birth. I could tell after reading the words you wrote.

That'd be awesome.
I agree, if I visited on my own power by teleporting or instantly flying there, or maybe taking a ride in one of God's spaceships or something. First class. The last thing I would want to do is squeeze into some possible death trap tin can, eating from a tube and taking years or months to get to some desolate barren wasteland, where if I loved, I would then need to build some housing etc.

Jesus proved the book was bang on

We're not talking about the book, we're talking about you're interpretation of the book... or is that bang on too, is it infallible as well?

Nope. It seems obvious that was in a little town with few people at the time. Where hundreds of people are mentioned is seeing Him after He rose from the dead.

No. Pointing out how a Chicken Little quest to flee doomsday on earth is not putting man or God first is not being overly concerned with it.

Except you then immediately said you did not want to see any

You are a good example. Your baseless doubts have no experience or substance to them

Like He gave up?
More like there was nothing to actually believe in.

Creation is not an interpretation, it is a basic tenet of Scripture from cover to cover.

That may sound repulsive to you, but it sounds absolutely amazing to me... where do I sign up? I've been a pursuer of quests for over fifty years now, Mars would make for the perfect cherry on top of a life spent seeking the road less traveled. From fasting for forty days, to hiking forty miles up into the Colorado Rockies to baptize myself in the headwaters of a river, to ministering to the homeless. If it's tough, I'm your guy.

You can have God's imaginary spaceship... I'll gladly take the tin can, and thank God every mile of the way.

Meanwhile...

So you're saying that your teachings are infallible...

You are welcome to it. (although I don't think they take old geysers in the program (unless they are rich perhaps)

The fact that it's unlikely is part of what makes it a quest. And if heaven hasn't got those, then I don't think that I want to go. I'd rather take my chances with the rejects... now that sounds like a quest worth trading heaven for.

Heaven is a place where dreams come true and we are not limited by mortal bodies or any limits at all.

Right, my point was that I doubt a Mars space program would be looking to train the mid fifties crowd.

? Those going to heaven cannot trade it. The gift of Jesus paid for in blood is non refundable. It also seems difficult to believe anyone is serious about comparing the wheels of God and power of angels and the travel we will do to the chicken little tin can endeavours of puny man.
