• 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 do we know that God is good?

Because the Bible is sourced from God as well, which makes it useless when I'm after external verification. Come on, it's not really such a difficult concept. How many times do I need to repeat it before you understand?

Wait; now G-d wrote the Bible Himself?!? :confused:

The whole point of the first story in the Bible is that we are so miniscule and subject to every little thing that what we perceive as good can in fact be the only thing that can harm us. You are trying to set yourself up as all-knowing. Good luck with that ..."Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)

No. The first story of the Bible is to explain our source, our Father, our ancestor, our beginnings. Adam walked with God in the Garden.

Far from your weird idea, we used to commune with God directly. He placed us in a Garden of ease, where we didn't even need clothes. Nice weather I say. But man mucked it up by choosing to deviate from God's guidelines. Once separated from God, all Hell broke loose for all of Creation. That's were we live now.
