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.

That just a bunch of baloney, mister. If you're pinning your Christianity on that then you've totally missed the whole entire point of Jesus.

I understand the point and perhaps so do you....what you fail to understand is the why. What you fail to understand is how sin orginated and condemns mankind.

For many christians it's what they have been taught and have believed the lie.
For others they deny the biblical truth that sin and death spread via one man because of disobedience as opposed to the evolution of a sin nature via a so-called natural process.

Ok.

It seems then, that more and more Christians are being misled and agreeing with what you call a lie.

You think sin originated from being disobedient & eating a piece of fruit? That's why all of mankind got condemned?

Forcing evolutionism into the bible changes the bible especially concerning the reason as to why Jesus died. Some so-called christians change it to the point that its not christianity anymore.

Nobody is trying to force Evolution, or any other scientific theory, into the Bible, because the Bible is not where it belongs. Where it belongs is in scientific textbooks and published scientific papers. That said, it is not legitimate for creationists to try and hide themselves away inside a hermetically sealed container, and then try to pretend that anything outside that container, which they don't like, can be ignored when interpreting the Bible.

That is intellectually dishonest, and it brings discredit upon Christianity.

Last I read the bible says Adam was formed from the dust the Eve from Adams rib....this certainly isn't evolutionism.

You deny 1 Cor 15:47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.

Tell me about the video in your own words.

How does the video debunk evolution and please be specific.
What occurs in the video is to complicated, sophisticated and precise to have come about via a process of random chance mutations occurring in just the right place at the right time...over and over again man, many times.

That it's a parable. Obviously. :D

Hey do you also believe the earth is flat cause of the firmament? It's been unreal being on this forum.
http://www.christianforums.com/threads/the-earth-is-flat.7920152/

In Timothy 2:13 paus has instructions for women. Why would Paul base certain instructions based upon a parable?

12But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression

No, it is something which was written around 1,000 BC with the intention of communicating theological ideas. It was not then, and is not now, an attempt at physical science.

I never claimed it was an attempt at physical science. That seems to be your strawman argument.

The bible says through one man every nation was made.

Acts 17:26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,

...this contradicts your belief in evolutionism.
