• 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.

Interesting! James' ossuary?

And to anyone who doesn't know, the Biblical Archaeology Review is not exactly a fundamentalist or even conservative publication - they would just as soon publish evidence against the history the Bible presents. Anyway, this is tantalazing, but obviously unprovable.

I read about that yesterday. It's a good read, Jesus might have been a real person, but thats doens't mean he is the son of "GOD", or he had supernatural powers. THATS MO just mine.

Did I say it meant that? No science will ever prove that.

Don't get so nervous! ;) :p :D

Hey, don't be so sure. What if archaeologists dug up the cross Jesus was crucified on? Scientists could take blood samples from the nails--what if they found it contained DNA that didn't have a double helix structure and glowed in the dark? :p

Definitly...I can surely see how unobserved, unproven aliens are much more logical than an unobserved, unproven God. :rolleyes:
This just goes to show the predisposed, bias position secularist's parade around as "science".


“Well, I heard a loud voice and a bright light engulfed me.  It told me to repent and that I should worship God.  I froze and fell forward and then the light got brighter and knocked me back.  Man, someone must have drugged me because that was an insane trip!  Either that or someone is a GREAT at special effects!”

WOW did you not see I was joking. DUH. The problem is there is evidence of life and so there could be life on other planets, But no evidence of the ALL POWERFULL GOD.

$5 bucks says drunk alien teenagers pulled pranks by burning a bush in front of Moses, bringing Jesus back to life, handing down the Quran to Mohammed...

The fact that we see no such interesting things today is proof their parents weren't impressed and grounded them for a few centuries. :D
