• 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.

How could you tell?

I can't.

Now, again, how could you tell the Truth from falsehoods proclaiming to be the Truth?

You cannot tell if you are delusional or not and yet you are questioning people's beliefs? You should be questioning yourself, not other people.

Get yourself in order, and then you can ask me about my beliefs. As it stands you have no room to question anyone about anything.

I'm not "questioning" anything, but asking so I understand; my ability or lack thereof is irrelevant to yours.

For someone with such strong convictions, you sure are doing a lot of attacking my character.

Can you please answer?

If you do not like to have the truth spoken to you, I suggest you cease to engage me in discussion. As it stands, you may very well be delusional right now. I do not make it a habit of speaking with delusional people. What I say may be misinterpreted and twisted.

If you don't tell me, I won't have the ability to be educated about it.

Are you delusional right now? If so, I will wait until you are not so I can speak with someone who is in their right mind.

Just let me know when you are confident you are not delusional.

Wait..... ugh! Nevermind, you can never be confident you are not delusional.....


Now........where is this going?

It's going in the direction of you avoiding a question.

As a non-Christian, asking how you could tell the difference between the Truth and falsehoods proclaiming to be the Truth, are you refusing to because you think i might be delusional?

(I just want to make sure and clarify that is why a Christian is not answering a question.)

Why should I even entertain you?

That is my point.

You would be acting in accordance with Jesus and God's wishes to try and convert a non-believer to the Truth?

I cannot convert you. Of course you know that right?

Nor is that my aim.

I want you to have exactly what it is you want. God wants the same.

It is irrelevant whether NS is delusional or not, he is not proclaiming truth. You are. How do you distinguish between something that is actually true, and something that is false but proclaimed true? Don't avoid the question, it gives you away.

By the way, congratulations on discovering capitalization, and proper grammar. Your English ability has come a long way since Monday.

How do you make the distinction? Don't avoid the question either. It will give you away.

Awesome.

Both God and I, your words and conclusion, want you to answer that question.

Will you ignore God or answer?

So you claim not to have the truth? That does make it easy.

Truth is a Person. I have a relationship with Christ, and no, you being a natural carnal man are not privy to examine or scrutinize or look at via a microscope that which takes place in the spiritual realm. Only the man of faith can apprehend that realm.

I hope you don't mind my saying, but God sounds remarkably like you.:)

That's funny, since what I said is only based on what you said about God. So, I guess that would make sense :)

You said both you and God wanted what I wanted... I wanted you to answer the question.

Based on what you said, do please try and be accountable for what you just said, you will be going against what God wants if you don't.

So, will you answer?

The Dalai Lama is also a spiritual man and has reached a different conclusion than you - he does not claim that truth is a person for instance. How do you know that your truth is true and his is false? How do we know? Because you say so?

Examine the claims of Christ and of the Dalai Lama. Come to your own conclusions.
