  • 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.

I'll discuss scripture whenever it's relevant -- on the topic of moving a mountain, it's not. Use the dynamite.

Similarly, on the OP, scripture is utterly irrelevant.

Scripture. Scripture is only rejected by those that refuse truth. So we have this clear, truth is all, the seen and unseen. The truth is, with faith, a mountain can be moved. Some rejoice in the fact with ease and some struggle, though with the truth itslef, all things are possible.

Indeed -- dynamite is only one of quite literally a million useful things on which the writers of scripture didn't know about.

meanwhile, you keep praying for the mountain to move -- people engaged in useful endeavors will actually move it.

If a mountain moves and an unbeliever isn't around to see, does it move?

One of the rules I've learned as a writer and editor: if a bunch a people misread what you've written, there's no point in complaining about your readers. Just write it more clearly.

Where did I read this before?...
Oh, that's right:
Baghavad Gita (Just replace the words "Holy Bible" with "Baghavad Gita" and you're good to go)

How do you know that you need to truly believe in the bible in order to understand it?

The Creator created all.

As insignificant as one may accuse it's intelligence, it defeats the heaviest of doubters as well as the lesser. Claiming that all exist's without the One that created it, fails the truth itself.

Finding truths is good, rejecting the Creator is a cult.

I wouldn't put it that way. And the classic example of why not, is the phenomenon of a PFC (professing former christian) What if they actually were a believer, and are no longer? I don't think any and every understanding they ever had magically "poofs" away. (Neither have I found one with a good understanding of Scripture, which suggests to me this is connected to their apostasy. I would like to know more about that but I digress)

Rather, Faith is something that grows, like anything else that is alive. I have encountered people of great Faith, who had almost not read Scripture at all. Of course, when such a person begins taking in the Word of God, their Faith grows rapidly. I have also encountered people who have read a TON of Scripture and a tiny minority even demonstrate a good understanding of much of it, and had very little Faith.

So I wouldn't make the statement Someguy did that I'm quoting here. before I try to paraphrase it, maybe he would like to attempt a more accurate improvement of what he was trying to convey?

Jesus walked on water and rose the dead and healed the sick and withered the fig tree. How many can still doubt that a rock, that is creation, cannot be moved. A rock can be moved in the glory of the Creator.

Way to avoid what I said.

I am asking for a verifiable instance of someone praying for a mountain to move and then that mountain moved due ONLY to the fact that they prayed. You give me unverifiable stories of a guy doing something completely different.

Not what I asked for at all.
