  • 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 the beginnings of Genesis aren't literally true, then what way are they true?

God Bless!

many biblical words and phrases are expressions with very special meanings different from the meanings of the words and phrases presented in the dictionaries and encyclopedias, for example the words "daughter" and "wife" mean 'unaccepted belief/creed' and 'accepted/followed belief/creed' in some biblical verses/passages such as Genesis 6, while you know what the meanings of the same words are according to the dictionaries

Blessings

The god of the bible that so many believe in, doesn't exist or if he does he's a cruel god. and the proof is in the bible.

If god created the world, is perfect all knowing etc. He's responsible for everything. For putting a tree that shouldn't be picked from in the garden. Then placing a serpent in the tree to tempt Eve. Who he made to open to temptation. So did the do what he wanted, or was he testing her not knowing the outcome?

Clearer proof is the Cain and Abel story. He looked on Abel gift as better than Cain's. Any Father will tell you that's a mistake. This enraged Cain, rage was something god put in us, and led to the killing of his brother. Has to be god's fault.

Whatever people were doing in Sodom and Gomorrah and prior to the flood, had to be pleasurable or they wouldn't do it. That pleasure was something in the bodies god created. If he hadn't of created sodomy, or what ever, as pleasurable, no one would do it.

And the faults in god go one, Exodus, Moses, Joshua, Jericho, David, Salomon, the need for Jesus to return to put us back on the right path. the need for him to come back. All are the creation of the creator, a god who isn't so perfect, or Nature that makes no such claim.

No one needs to test something they made perfectly. Most certainly not a perfect creator.


Paul, what is perfect to you may not be perfect to someone else and what is perfect to God may only be in how His plan works out. He has a plan. For each of us He has a plan. Sometimes things don't work out perfectly for us. There are deaths and sin that man cannot control but everything happens for a reason under God's own plan. If everyone in the world lived according to God's and Jesus' teachings there would not be unnecessary deaths, or wars or unjust things. No wars. No sadness because of accidental injustices. We create our own misery in most cases.
