• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My bible, the torah, mentions nothing about the messiah being God, the incarnation of God, the son of God. it says God is one. God is it.
You are dreaming. The messiah is what it is all about cover to cover. God with us.

I agree that the messiah is in it, but where does it say,in the OT, he's the human incarnation of God? where does it say that he cleanses the sins of mankind?

imagine a guy following you around, predicting what you would do. You in effort to change this prediction end up fulfilling his prediction. It wont seem like free will then, and only because you know what you must do in order to change the future, but cant. If god exists, this is exactly why we don't have free will, except you don't have someone telling us what we will do before we do it. The ability for ANYTHING to see the future with 100% certainly deprives all of free will.

My opinion is that the future is unknowable and if god exists he cannot know what the future holds.

If we were able to get saved and enter the kingdom of God as Adam was, we would need no saving. We are not, so we do. All through the bible, it talks of everlasting life, and salvation.. What do you think salvation means? Do you not believe in everlasting life? What do you think the Messiah was sent for? Fishing? Running for worldly office? Fighting man's wars? No. That is clear. He is the redeemer. It was always by believing in God, in His salvation, in His mercy and goodness, and coming Messiah, that men were saved. And it is by believing He came we are now saved.

7:14 -Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call [SIZE=-1][/SIZE] his name Immanuel.

Did he say how many links are still missing?
How many generations of organisms have been on the earth? Every single life-form that has ever existed will be a link from its parents to its children. "Species" is just a useful way of grouping organisms from our short, human perspective.

Unless you have a fossil of every individual organism living or dead, you'll always have missing links.

This is a BBC documentary about the recent scientific discovery that humans evolved from lemurs, something which the Urantia Book revealed over fifty years ago.

Or at least something like them. Yet another piece of the puzzle is found.

You were set-up by people from Sesame-Street-Science. First they tell you why your different, then they set out to prove why your not.
And they get paid for both.
