  • 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.

That's not what I asked.

Comment, the Y chromosome in humans has shrunk over time within our species, as per seen in some well preserved human mummies. Additional comment, not all forms of life with gender have clear chromosomes for gender.

Neanderthal was actually not an ancestor either. They are an extinct species with which we also shared a common ancestor.

So your sure it's not an ancestor of the Nephaphiliam?

Studies showed that there was a issue with the y-chromosome between humans and their supposed ancestor shared with chimps. This was considered an issue. Do you not agree?

First, source please for your vague claim that isn't detailed enough for me to know exactly what you are talking about.

" Although previous genetic studies had suggested that human- chimpanzee differences were greater than first thought, the latest sequencing data is a bombshell. The human Y chromosome is dramatically different from that of our "nearest living relative," the - up to 50% different. The sequence is so different, that if it had occurred in an autosomal chromosome, such a change would represent that seen between chickens and humans over a period of 310 million years. Described as being "horrendously different," the sequence change is virtually unexplainable over the 6-7 million years between the hypothesized chimp-human split."

Neanderthal isn't the ancestor to anything, as far as we know. Their known lineage stops at their extinction, as far as I remember, with the exception of the suspicious that some may have crossbred with homo sapien early one as someone suggested earlier in this thread.

Second, if you mean Nephilim, those are mythological creatures. So nothing in reality is related to them. I do not know that Nephaphiliam is.

So your openly stating that he is lying?

I challenge you to find a non apologist source for your claimed Y chromosome problem.

Lying involves purposely deceiving. For all I know he believes the stuff he says to be true, doesn't make him a list if he is wrong. But I feel that if this problem really exists there should be non apologists commenting on it as an important issue.

"You're"....

He begins, like most religious zealots, with a conclusion and THEN seeks to have all evidence match that conclusion...

Hardly the approach of an even-handed scientist....

So in other words, you believed but were never saved. The demons also believe, but they aren't saved either. Believing isn't the same as having a close personal relationship with the Lord. Had you done that, you could no more deny His existence than that of anyone else you've known in your life.

Faith is a difficult thing. Unless you invite the Lord into your life and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the things you read in the Bible and the things you're taught at church don't give you the strength to overcome the daily barrage of people claiming that we live in a purely physical world and that no greater force exists. Even on a Christian website we are constantly flooded with the unsaved who are here for no reason other than to make themselves feel good by attacking the faith of others.

So ask yourself why you're here. Are you secretly hoping that someone will show you something that will help you find that part of you which was lost? Are you really seeking a reason to believe in something greater than yourself? Are you looking for answers, or merely trying to show us ignorant Christians that we don't know anything about anything? Have you given much thought as to why you spend your time on a Christian website, talking to believers in a God you once thought you knew but to whom you never surrendered yourself?

Think about it.

I mentioned why I am here in my post, did you miss that?

And, what does being "saved" have to do with anything? Do you actually think, there are not people in this world, that claimed to be saved at one point and later on, realized what they believed was false?
