• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Speak for yourself! I have all the absolute authority of God Almighty, as given to man in His word.
:doh:

To deny that believers echo the word of God in the bible, is to deny God gave us the thing. There is nothing prideful about believing God over man. In fact, cursed is man that trusteth in man.
Bible =/= God
God did no give us [write] the bible, man did, so your last sentence is perfectly applicable to you, particularly since you trust your own silly ideas over the best evidence that god gave us: nature.

You do not know. If God inspired it, you could not see or know. We can know, because it works, and was shown true in a million ways.

What a wonderful set of words to demonstrate just what kind of double think you're capable of.

Let me finish the logical statement that you started:

If god inspired it [the bible], then you could not see or know [that god inspired it]

According to you, 'We can know', therefore, god did not inspire the Bible.

Congratulations, you fail at Bible. Again.

No. There are reasons we know that it is not the mere words of men alone. There are no reasons we know it is.

I think he's going for a definite "yes" or "no" answer that can't be weaseled out of.
He is? Well, I already covered that. The bible is God's word to man. So it is part of Him. Long after this present state is no more, the bible will still be here.
