• 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.

If evolution is true...

That's part of the history of ancient Israel, not a teaching of the NC church.
Oh, yes I forgot that today's "Christians" like to dismiss the parts of Scripture that they do not like as only being relevant to the ancient Hebrews or some such nonsense.

Christianity is a weird religion, how its adherents ignore what they don't like, embellish the relevance of what they do like, etc. - all the while declaring themselves the best Christians.

There are serious conversations, until of course, creationists start getting the better of evolutionists… then some of the evolutionists ‘scramble’ everything to the point no one understands anything about the thread, and then fade away declaring a win.
Most interesting act of projection - a near perfect description of your own traits and actions.

One can easily note the frequency with which you totter away from your own threads when your shopworn rhetoric fails you, and you realize that it will no longer counter the evidence being presented to you.

Interesting viewpoint. Perhaps those are really "tares". Hard to tell the difference you know.

Evolution is a weird process, how its adherents ignore what they don't like, embellish the relevance of what they do like, etc. - all the while declaring themselves the best scientists.

Oh look, you're playing the shadow game again. ^_^

Guess this means you're "scrambling", huh? ;)

Oops. Another unforgivable mistake worthy of sarcasm and ridicule. I'm usually more careful. :(

Sarcasm and ridicule? Nah! I suggest a week of sackcloth and ashes with a few hours in a pillory.

I'd prefer that over the rack or the wheel. :)
