• 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.

That some pretty stupid three year olds. I know mine wasn't that incredibly imbecilic. Massively moronic. Vacuously vapid. Etc, etc...

When it comes to God's word, Shannon entropy can take a hike.

Honest question (I hope you know that I do respect you).

If science can take a hike why do you discuss it, here. At any time you can say that 'science can take a hike' so I wonder what is your end game in science threads?

I'm not setting up a 'gotcha' and I won't try to rebut your reasons.

I'm just curious.

Reminds me of this:
At the beginning of that video, that kid should have told that guy, "I'm a Christian by election."

That's what I tell people:

"I'm a Christian by election, and a Baptist by conviction."

No problem, Larnievc, I respect your posts and appreciate your friendliness.

I believe God sent me here as a missionary to show the educated elite that the tares (doctrines) of science are starting to overgrow the wheat (doctrines) of the Word.

And you're most certainly welcome to disagree, if you so choose.

But this would not be a truthful response, AV.

Sign of the times.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The woman should have told that guy, when he asked her how she knew the Bible was the word of God:

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

So the more people you deconvert the more right you are?

We're in the last days of the dispensation of Grace, characterized by earthquakes, famines, and pestilences.

The "these days" of Jesus' speech on eschatology.

The main reason, well, on second thought lets be truthful, the "only" reason that there are so many denominations is because Christians just cannot agree with one another of scripture. In fact, within the same denomination churches split.

Yes I know. Goes with the territory I guess.

Most arent enemies of physical reality like AVs variant of christianity is however.
