• 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.

Those in unbelief think things are shallow due to only having outward recognition. The "evidence" they demand makes them inherit shallowness in what this world is about. They think science is the deep things to learn.

Yup.

It creates a mental block they can't get around.

"I led you in the wilderness, and you never had to wear crappy clothes or crappy shoes".

That passage provides no reason for a rational person to postulate a suspension of physical laws.

Then if thinking rationally prevents you from answering it ... try thinking irrationally.

Ya ... that's about you hear, isn't it?

Do certain key words release hormones in your head that block traffic?

Typical unbeliever: "First show me something; then we'll talk."

Unbeliever in what?

It works for germs. People can show us evidence that germs cause disease.

It works for gravity, thermodynamics, and tons of other stuff in life.

So why doesn't it work for your beliefs? Should we believe something just because someone tells us to believe it?

Depends on Who that Someone is.

Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Can a germicide cure this?

Matthew 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

If that were to happen today, they would call for a psychiatrist; who would probably get his psychological assessment tests stuck up his nose and sent back to where he came from.

Did anyone claim that germicides were meant to cure stories in books?

So now you are making stories up all on your own?

Scientists today do that all the time, when they harp on demon possessed people actually having a disease of some sort.

Let's see your whitecoats cure this guy with a needle, or the latest copy of Signal Fraud's, Cuckoos in a Nutshell.

Mark 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

They don't cure schizophrenia with antibiotics.

And yet more fantasies from AV.

Will you be dealing with reality any time soon?

Luke 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

So all you have are insults? You are finished dealing with reality?
