• 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.

I accept Burden of Proof, but only because I choose to.

No living person has ever seen Pluto. Alleged 'photos' of Pluto are very recent creations. Probably forgeries designed to justify NASA's exorbitant, wasteful budget. (NASA $29 billion dollars. The Vatican $0.3 billion)

I won't believe Pluto exists unless I can see it with my own eyes. Do it in a controlled environment. If Pluto exists, you can demonstrate it right?
Belief in a god/s since childhood, no problem, but one of thousands KBO's, that's just a bridge too far.

Do you accept Acts as an historical accurate narrative?

That's not important. For the record, Tinker Grey (atheist) is referring to the Bible as-if it were a historical narrative. Then he demands a follow-up to Jesus' prophesy. That shows up in Acts after Jesus leaves, and the miracles continue. This is true even when the gospels and Acts are read as fiction.

Therefore, Jesus' prophesy is fulfilled regardless of whether "I" believe the Bible is a historically accurate narrative or pure fiction. Even if one reads it like a comic book, this is an easy prophesy to fulfill.

Are you suggesting that prophecies concerning Jesus because someone wrote something down (Acts) after the fact is evidence?

Seriously?!

No, I'm saying that Tinker simply didn't read the entire narrative. Jesus said his followers would do "greater works," and that's when Tinker stops reading. Had he continued through Acts, it would have been more apparent.
