• 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

And yet you believe in the resurrection?

You believe that there is a GOD who will raise us up on the last day of the order of all these things in the world

Things which HE ordered in the beginning

(Which you don't believe HE did).

He created the universe, but there is overwhelming evidence that he didn't do it in six days, and obscurantism is the only thing I hear from YECs.

You can say anything you like, but biologists use data available in the present to draw conclusions about the past; just as a historian does when he says that all the available evidence points to Henry VIII having beheaded, or otherwise disposed of, five of his six wives.
I don't care about Henry
GOD will deal with Henry

But yes, scientists need the physical evidence in order to reach a conclusion

It's strange to me that you do not deny that GOD will raise up what has physically died yet deny/doubt/question HIS beginning work of initially giving physical life to what HE will raise up (in the last day)

Here's a truth

Man is numbered as 6
Spiritually that is important to consider

Here's another truth

Man needs to be born again

Those are very important spiritual truths

As is 7
And as is 8

Do you want to remain 6

Which is precisely what they have got, and just as a historian usea documentary evidence to make inferences about the past, so scientists use physical evidence to make inferences about the past.

What I deny is that Genesis contains a physical account of God's creation.

That means you have to deny a LOT more than a physical account of God's creation.

No more than I borrow the words "windmill" or "table".
A windmill
And a table we all understand
They are concrete things and they bring to mind by either their visible presence or a mental one, what these thing are

Wibble
Gobbledegook
Bunkum

Are personal opinions through slangy terms to describe something thought to be ridiculous

However, in the case, spiritual truths can only be understood by and through THE SPIRIT

Your use of these words therefore is not because what has been said is ridiculous

It's because you can't understand what has been said because they are spiritual truths

What I have said has nothing to do with the physical world

As opposed to a theological account of God's creation.
Theo logical account

Which to you who believes there is a GOD who will raise up HIS CREATION

But WHO did not initially create HIS CREATION

That sir is not logical at all

I must refer you to the above post.
Yes, I know.

The Beelzebang.

In the beginning, Satan created the primordial atom. Then it burst and spewed out garbage that eventually became y-Adam and mt[dna]Eve. Then Yahweh sent a son, born of a young, ignorant, desert-dwelling, goat-herding, nomadic woman, made in the image and likeness of an ape, to die on a cross for mankind's mistakes & habits.

I'm familiar with the philosophy behind theistic evolution.

Fundamentalists always claim that they have a special communication with God, and anybody who disagrees with them must lack it.
