• 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 hear a lot of talk on here about personal experiences of God etc.

What I'd like to know is, let's say something happened tomorrow that proved the bible was false. Not a single claim was true and it was undeniable.

For those who have had personal experiences of God... What would you then put that down to or how would you explain it?

Would you credit a different God? Would you seek for a more logical answer?

What would take the credit for your personal experience?

FYI, you're *assuming* personal experiences of God are directly related to one's belief in the concept of 'Biblical infallibility". There is no one to one connection in my case. One is a direct experience of God. The other is a book.

Hey, grown up.
"Let's say you are not you", then who are you?
This kind of question is very very naive.

This kind of question is very very naive.

This kind of question is only very very naive for those who cannot imagine life outside the boundaries of where they set their beliefs. And that's called close-mindedness. So, in one post you not only showed that you are extremely close-minded, but also that you have no response to the question by attacking the messenger.

I'll bite. Could you provide a hypothetical example?
