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.
Genesis was right?!

Yes; It is through pure reason that one becomes an atheist although this is not 100%.
I must however stress the fact that should science ever bring forth irrefutable evidence of the supernatural then reason dictates that atheists in their majority will accept the existence of the supernatural. Now whether they choose to worship it or not is another matter altogether.

It looks like on the third day everyone will believe.Yes; It is through pure reason that one becomes an atheist although this is not 100%.

Exodus 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled.
That did amaze me that there was thunder and lightening and an earthquake. All the people of Israel believed, yet they did not all live for God.

I think it is Dr. Scofield that pointed out that the Israelites should never have said...
Exodus 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
... because after that, the dispensation of Promise came to a close, and the dispensation of Law started.
They probably thought God was just going to lay a few do's & don'ts on them, like He did Adam & Eve; but instead, they not only got the Ten Commandments, but they got another ... I believe it is ... 609 commandments along with them.
The Ten Commandments are impossible to keep, since we have a sin nature.
Scofield says that, instead of saying what they said, they should have fallen on their faces and admitted they needed grace, not law.

Honestly, you've never said anything that has made me want to know more. So for now, I'll settle with you promising that you won't just post one liners, but post well-thought-out responses with evidence provided to show that your claims are supported by something more than your say-so.
How's that?

Yeah, those people who want evidence and support for claims before they'll believe them! What ever happened to good old blind faith, just accepting whatever you were told as truth? Thems were the good ol' days!

How about this? You say what you want to say and I'll do the same? If you can disprove my comments then have at it.

And birds of a feather ...You make the claim then the onus is on you to prove it! That is how it works! For example:
I believe the moon is inhabited by cows that produce cheese and the moon is made of this cheese!
See what I mean?

In other words no.
I'd be more than happy to disprove what you say, but the problem is that what you say is so vague and nebulous it doesn't really say anything at all.

Sounds like when I got married. I said there is no way I can do all of that the vows require. The pastor said we are just suppose to do our best. Maybe he does not have a wife that demands the perfection of the Law.
Actually John Wesley was the one that started the Holiness movement. Interesting that the problem he ran into was that people just got comfortable and it was difficult to get them out of their comfort zone.
