  • 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.

is creation outside of science's scope?

since you are one of the chief mis-representers here i will ignore your post.

that isn't abuse but a statement of fact.

You have accused me of misrepresenting you in the thread is creating with age deceptive?

what i said:
you forget that the first mention of animal death was done after the fall of man when God clothed adam and eve.
and what you said:
Where do K&D say these were the first animals who died?

stop misrepresenting what i say. you continually do that o try and show that i do not know what i am talking about when it is you who is off and deceived.

your whole first half of your post is based on what you wanted me to say and did not address what i said. such false accusations deny any claim you make about being christian.

So I gave a long post detailing exactly what had been said:

Archie: use your science to determine the effects of The Fall, please feel free to examine it from all aspects. compare the pre-wall world with the post and see the difference.
{i know you won't because it is easier to make up stuff and try to fit the evidence to that than it is to simply believe God}
i do no tthink you can get it much clearer thanwhen Paul said, 'by one man sin...death... entered into the world'.

Shernren: No, archie said "by one man sin ... death ... entered into the world."Paul said (or rather wrote),
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-- (Romans 5:12 NIV)
Note here that the Bible specifically says that:
1. Death came to "all men". Not a peep about animal death.
2. Death came to all men because all sinned, not because one sinned. The comparison is "sin through one man : death through sin :: all sinned : death to all men"

Archie evasion: both posts aren't worth dignifying with an answer. just goes to show you as to what lengths alternative believers will go to screw up a person's point.

Nooj: What lengths are those? Shernren correcting your incorrect Biblical phrases? Or correcting the way you talk as if you speak for God?

Archie: neither.
you forget that the first mention of animal death was done after the fall of man when God clothed adam and eve.

Assyrian: And the first mention of animal death has to be the first animal who died? Gen 3:21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. No, no mention of the animals whose skin it was being the first to die. I am afraid you may be reading things into scripture again.

Archie evasion: again, going to the extreme to crudely hide mocking

Assyrian: What is extreme about pointing out that the scripture you quoted does not mean what you thought?
But again you resort to unsupported accusations and abuse when you don't have an answer.

Archie: according to your unsubtantiated opinion, the following backs me:
[Keil & Delitzsch quote...]

Assyrian: This is amazing. Even when you quote commentaries you pick one that doesn't say what you claim. Where do K&D say these were the first animals who died?


You were talking about the difference between the pre and post fall world and mangled Romans 5:12 in support. Shernren corrects your quote, looks at Romans 5:12 and points out "1. Death came to "all men".Not a peep about animal death."

After accusation and evasion, your reply with
you forget that the first mention of animal death was done after the fall of man when God clothed adam and eve. This is the line you you say I misrepresented.

The context is a discussion of difference between pre fall and post fall worlds, and shernen's reply that Romans 5:12 does not mention animals death.

Given that your reference to animals death after the fall, is given as a reply to shernren's statement about animal death and the fall, you seem to have believed that your reference showed shernren was wrong, and showed that animal death began after the fall, because the animals that were skinned were the first ever to die.

I then asked you And the first mention of animal death has to be the first animal who died?

Your reply, after the usual evasion and accusation was to claim, not that I had misunderstood your argument, but that Keil & Delitzsch back you up. It is only when we see that K&D no more back you up than the original scripture verse, you claim I am misrepresenting you.

Interesting what you say about false accusations there.
You never got around to answering these false accusations you made.

Instead of dealing with the conversation I listed and showing how I had misrepresented you, or withdrawing your accusation of misrepresentation, instead of going back and dealing with the links I gave to misrepresentations and accusations I had call you on before and you ignored, and either backing up your claim or apologising yourself, you simply say:

basically, you have blown it with me. mis-representation without apology = your done.
Why do you call for people to apologise for alleged misrepresentation you cannot support, while you refuse to deal with your own accusations and misrepresentations when we show them to be false?

On consideration I think it's purely a defensive tactic. He knows he can't support what he's saying so he cries foul thus giving himself an escape route intead of having to be honest and retracting his false accusations.

when you guys get honest and open-minded let me know. probably 75-90% of your posts avoid dealing with the topic or what was written by me.

you only mention it now as you think you can embarrass or attack me with something. sorry , such tactics only undermine you and display your true character.

i keep being called on the carpet for stating true facts, true observations and your own posts back me up yet no one cares as the posts continue.

when you can stay on topic and be honest come talk to me then.

I'll keep calling you out till you admit to misrepresenting me in the blatant manner in which you did. I'll keep addressing this and the litany of fallacies contained within your posts as long as you're around to propogate them. When you do the Christian thing and apologise for misrepresenting people then you will find your threads all of a sudden are not filled with 'off-topic' posts.

Another interesting accusation. Back June, when we our replies to each other were running into multiple posts I starting to wonder about how much of my post you actually dealt with, so I took a look at a couple of exchanges.

On p 27 of this thread My posts ran to 2741 words and 66 paragraphs. You reply only quoted 1535 words from 31 paragraphs.

I examined a shorter post from page 20 of is creating with age deceptive? http://www.christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=36450812&postcount=194
and while my post 626 words and 12 paragraphs, your reply quoted 297 words from 8 paragraphs.

you only mention it now as you think you can embarrass or attack me with something. sorry , such tactics only undermine you and display your true character.
No I was calling you to account, when I find you using the same tactics of accusations which you refuse to dealt with when they are disproved.

i keep being called on the carpet for stating true facts, true observations and your own posts back me up yet no one cares as the posts continue.
By 'true facts' and 'true observations' your mean accusations you cannot support when challenged?

when you can stay on topic and be honest come talk to me then.
Since when have your personal attacks, or as you seem to see them, 'true observations' of the other persons character and walk with God, ever been on topic?
