• 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.

My New New Moon Challenge

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I create another moon -- ex nihilo -- orbiting the earth.

What evidence would you present that I did this and not God?
This:

images


Genesis 2: 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.


Notice where He institutes the Law of Conservation of Mass/Energy here?

So what you're saying, AV, is that Split Rock can make a new moon, but God can't because of Genesis 2:1-2?:confused:
God won't -- He doesn't have to play Rocky's games to make His points.

AV, it often appears to members of this board that you think you know everything that God has done, can do or will do. Is it possible for God to surprise you?
I take only what God has given us in Writing, and use It like a two-edged sword against you guys.

You guys, who think the Bible is just another piece of ineffectual literature, do an awful lot of bleeding; mainly in the form of laughter and ridicule.

You don't know it, but you guys do an excellent job of proving the veracity of Scripture.

Sharpen your sword, bub. Rusty, worn-down blades are a good way to assure failure.

Who, exactly, are 'you guys'? Do you always question the faith of fellow Christians?

Can you answer the question I've put to you? Here it is again, in case you forgot:

Yes --

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

It's funny how the evidence for "veracity of scripture" is exactly the same as the evidence for scripture being wrong.

Good news AV! I hear God is actually going to make a new moon on July 1!
I take it you can back that up in writing somewhere?

If not, well ... you know.

None. And because there can´t be any evidence we must conclude that you did it.

But, I thought the bible says that God is done creating? Hey! I can use the same argument against your OP in the original thread!! :cool:
