• 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.

Until you guys can build a machine that can do this...

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

... I'll take your accusation of myopia with a grain of calcium chloride.

I already have a while back.. But since I don't feel like looking for the thread, I'll just do the same thing again:

It's called an AH-64 Apache. It's one of many kinds of flying machines called "helicopters". It can fly up to mountains and had lots of fire power.

Of course, I have no idea what you think that bible passage is actually saying. If it's something you're taking literally, then what would be the point in making firey, horse-drawn, chariots that can climb mountains?

Additionally, I don't see how this is in any way related to the conversation. Nice non sequitur.

Actual universe > bible universe.

There are many other religions, and adherants of all of them have faith just as strong as yours. Just goes to show that faith can be wrong, doesn't it, AV?
When the object of the faith is wrong, yes, the faith can be wrong.

Technically, the word is 'vain' -- meaning 'empty'.

1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Except you must have faith that the object of the faith is the right object ;p

Just like other people on the other side of the world.

Your just like them and equally wrong.

Who said they were wrong? Dawkins came and claimed that if you believe in one god you cannot believe in another not realizing what God is. The goal is not to match religious practices or names, but to reach god, and they serve that purpose. The rest are minor details and is not a problem to study except in the case of materialism. Added to that, segregation breeds only when Darwinian principles are implemented.

So then, if both Christianity and Hinduism are paths to God, does that m ean that the B ible is wrong about all that Jesus stuff?
