• 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.

RedRaven, I am sorry to hear about your child and I hope everything turns out well. You and your family will be in my thoughts

Sin and corruption through disease have infiltrated our genes and became part of us, that is the fallen nature the article is talking about.
I am curious about one thing... where do tree diseases come from? Do trees have a fallen nature that has infiltrated their genes? Or cat diseases? Whale diseases? Dog diseases? Bird diseases? Pig diseases? Do each of these species have a fallen nature and need repentance? Or was man's sin so bad that he corrupted all of nature with disease? In other words, God's plan was that if Adam and Eve messed up, then not only billions of humans afterwords would be infected and diseased but billions of billions of trees, billions of cats, billions of whales, billions of dogs, billions of pigs, billions of sparrows, billions of cardinals, billions of pigeons, billions of crows, billions of doves, billions of dolphins, billions of anglerfish, billions of manta rays, billions of coral, billions of cows, and billions of every other animal and plant that ever existed would be susceptible to disease? All because of two people? Can someone explain how non-human disease come to be?

A possible and biblical answer is available straight from the Scriptures that concerns the fallen nature of man, however I feel that a question asked in this type mocking attitude is not a good way of reaching those answers demanded. Good luck ...

Wasn't trying to mock, I was trying to underline for anyone wanting to suggest that Adam and Eve corrupted all of nature that that would mean that two people corrupted billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions of creatures. Are there Scriptures that deal with the question of how non-human disease entered the world? I think it's an honest question, and I don't want any unintended mocking to interfere with the question. Thanks.

billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions...

:doh:

Yes there are, I already noted this.

I don't want any unintended mocking to interfere with the question.

Then I would recommend avoiding it which unfortunately still appears to continue, attitude tells a thousands words about the intent. Sorry, I can't help.

I am sorry, but I have decided not to share that knowledge with you as I didn't believe in the intent and the way the question was presented, I guess I didn't make myself clear in that respect. The answer is available and I wish you good luck in your research.
