• 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.

  • 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.

Look what I found:

Then you're not a flying squirrel, but you're a squirrel flying?

I never claimed I could turn into a flying squirrel, just the ordinary kind.

Now, since you have no way to prove that I can't turn into a squirrel, do you think it's possible that I can?

And no one equivocates more than one who says he can turn into a squirrel, right?

In what way am I equivocating?

I am not making use of words with similar sounds, I am claiming that I literally can become a squirrel. My body changes shape, I get a nice fluffy tail.

I am not using fallacious reasoning. I am making a very definite claim.

I am not using a semantic shift, metaphor, amphiboly, or anything else.

I am making a claim in clear language. I am not being ambiguous, and I am speaking literally. I can turn into a squirrel. Since you can't prove that I am unable to turn into a squirrel, you must accept that I can. Clear?

:eek: -- Do birds glide?

What nonsense is this? Anything that glides must be part bird?

Is this PERSON part bird? Is this an avian human?

Here's the change I'm looking for:

Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.


And that fluffy tail you're talking about -- I'd look in the mirror, if I were you.

You might just be a wolf in sheep's clothing, rather than an ape in squirrel's.

...or have the right to say he does, either.


i must be really bored

It is rather odd that an omnipresent God who is not willing that any should perish would be in hiding. (For the obtuse: that means I shouldn't need to search every cc of the universe to conclude that an omnipresent God who doesn't me to perish is a concept is that unconvincing.)
