• 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.

  • 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 do we know God is real?

Yes, but why don't you have faith in the Hindu gods? The Greek gods? The Norse gods?

I think the idea of a team of creators makes a lot more sense than one omnipotent being. Can Yahweh build a pile of bricks he cannot lift?

Also, I like Valhalla, the Norse heaven. You spawn in the feasting hall, eat and drink your fill, then run outside into battle, fight, die, repeat. It's really awesome. Much more interesting than your idea of heaven. And Thor is pretty cool, too.

So, why Yahweh? He's the least logical choice and he's really jealous and vindictive (throwing Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, flooding the world, asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac etc.)

Hinduism preaches, at its core, one god: Brahmin, who is everything. The other "gods" and "goddesses" are incarnations of the multiple everythings Brahmin is.

He is real, and he love us 100% and there is nothing we can do to make him love us less, or love us more. The few of us that feel the holy spirit, know the truth. It is a indescribable presence, for I believe that holy spirit, is the very presence of the father! Seek him and you shall find him, but know you must seek him with all your heart, and once you discover him you will never again question his existence or his love.
