• 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.

I have repeated presented overwhelming scientific evidence that shows the Bible is accurate and true. In fact we have 100 years of archaeology that shows the Bible is accurate and true.

And we also have overwhelming archaeological that the Bible is not accurate and true. Look into what archaeologists say about the Exodus. If you are going to live by archaeology, then you need to accept it when it tells you that the Bible is wrong too.

You are using the Bible as evidence for the Bible! When will you people get that concept through your heads?

The Bible was entirely written by men. We don't know who most of them were, but we know it was composed by a human! You cannot point to a single word that was written by a god!

So, you've read the part that explains that, to breed coloured goats, you have the copulating parents stare at striped sticks!?

Happy with that one, are you Farmer Jones?

And they have all been made countless other times. No harm in repeating the obvious to those that refuse to learn. Maybe one day the lesson will sink in.

Yes. Emotional stress acts as a great barrier to learning though. Most of these people are simply too afraid to believe in any other way.

All religions have martyrs, Christianity does not have any special claim to that. If martyrs are your goal post then all religions are true.

Not the suicide bombers, they are going straight to heaven unless anyone can show they are not.

-- I guess it's time for this story again:

There was once a man who captured a Leprechaun and forced him to tell him where the pot of gold was. The Leprechaun took him into a forest and showed him where it was buried: at the base of a tree. Whereupon the man tied a red ribbon around the tree, made the Leprechaun promise he wouldn't touch it, and then went and got a shovel. Coming back, to his horror, the Leprechaun had tied red ribbons around every tree in the forest.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Unbelievable.
Facts are not influenced by 'sad and empty', your 'sad and empty' will die with you and the fact will remain.

Nope. Where there is life, love, beauty, intelligence and good, there is God.
He is there where those are missing too, but he did not cause their lack.
We did.

Moses knew nothing about evolution. He probably didn't even exist.

Jesus claimed that he did.

John 5:45-47
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Jesus claimed nothing. Again, you cannot show me a single word written by him. All you can do is show me claims made by other men.

Do some research. Moses almost certainly is mythical.
