• 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.

This is over my head. By multiple origins does that mean Adam and Eve werent the first humans as the Bible says? And if so, as a fellow LCMS member do you believe that or that we’re all descended from the first two people, Adam and Eve?

I'm willing to try explaining any of it. In the meantime, I'll keep that in mind and try to find a different way to say things.

No, it means humans and apes may have been created separately. Or birds and dinosaurs.

And if so, as a fellow LCMS member do you believe that or that we’re all descended from the first two people, Adam and Eve?

I believe we're all descended from Adam and Eve.
