• 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.

Just because "A", that doesn't mean "B"

Just because you got your degree from a diploma mill, doesn't give you credibility. ;)

Just because some of the stories of the Bible are conveyed through myth, doesn't mean those stories don't speak truth about the Lord.

Just because science doesn't allude to God, doesn't mean science rejects God.

Just because I interpret my Bible literally, doesn't mean I have to accept what it has to say about the shape of the earth, the design of the cosmos, or the consistency of the atmosphere.

I don't get that last one. could you explain plz??

Just because you think you can debunk evolution, doesn't mean that creationism is right by default.

Not ipso facto, but it's the most reasonable alternative.

LOL. :)

Just because Evolution can undermine a kid's faith, doesn't make the idea evil (or does it?).

Just because the message is evil, doesn't make the messenger evil.

Just because you've been taught something is right, doesn't mean that your teachers haven't been mislead by the biggest hoax perpetrated upon humanity due to humanity's susceptibility, i.e., its sinful nature.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh.

Just because we believe strongly in our respective positions, doesn't mean that, 100 years from now, we are not all going to laugh together (in heaven) about how wrong we both were with our puny intellects.

(that may be a backwards typo)

Actually, I do believe that we will know even as we are known - wonderfully and fully. As such, I'll be first in line to laugh at myself about things that I held so dear that mean nothing or are flat out wrong. Of course none of these things will be related to creationism....;):D;)

Just because we hold different opinions on some things, doesn't mean that we can't solidly agree that Jesus is Lord! and fellowship together.

Sure, if you're a Christian...

Why not? We're all Christian here.

No that doesn't follow.

Just because it has been shown that the earth is not a perfect sphere, doesn't mean it is flat.

Just because it has been shown Newtonian mechanics don't work at relativistic speeds, doesn't mean Aristotelian mechanics were right all along.

Just because we are brothers and sisters in Christ and the Lord God is our Father, doesn't mean we can't squabble like toddlers.

Gives a whole new meaning to "become as little children" doesn't it? <grin>
