• 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.

He didn't nail him to the cross, but the sacrifice needed to be made. I don't see how an omnipotent deity would need a sacrifice at all.
I don't think He did... I think we did. I think we do this to ourselves personally... but it's a lengthy topic.

So he's not omnipotent?

I think you caught him off guard!

Yes, he is omnipotent... and he is in hell as well (as the vanquisher of death)... as we see in the psalms.

Forgive me...

God cannot not be God

Using a specific noun to say that "that noun" cannot be "that noun" doesn't make sense.

Please explain.

Forgive me...

Sorry, I misread that. My eyes are playing tricks on me. Thanks for pointing it out.

Forgive me...

apologies, i probably stated it too bluntly. Do you see what i mean? God cannot do or be something or act in a way which is contrary to his nature.
