• 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 think the point is that everything is subject to change
Even the greatest of minds do not stand on anything that is absolute and unchanging

No, I'm not asking anything about knowledge. I am specifically asking why it matters whether or not Pluto is a planet. What does it change?

And now the understanding changed?

Our understanding of how solar systems form has changed since Pluto was first named a planet. Part of that understanding includes planet formation within the accretion disk as compared to how Kuiper belt objects form or how they get hurled into the Kuiper belt.

That's fickle wisdom

That's science doing its job. As new evidence comes in our conclusions can change.

Actually, it's the fear of the LORD that is.

But you Homo sapiens already claim wisdom by virtue of the species you were born into; so why mess with the LORD, right?
Did I mention the bible is myopic. We've come a long way in 2,000 years. All religious texts should be taken with a grain of salt.

As I said, AV, understanding is the beginning of wisdom.

Ah!

THE FOUNDATION
If all would "pay careful attention to THE FOUNDATION"

At our foundatioj, we are degenerate and reprobate - at complete enmity with God and Goodness.

If we understand this, for example, then none of us would have the audacity to call ourselves "good," or try to qualify other humans against other human archetypes.

But, we don't look at foundations; we look at superficiality to LIE to ourselves. That is why we have the audacity to call anything we do "good," for example - with an actual straight face.

Foundations are important.

Of course
It's the Tower of Babel all over again

Men looking to make a name for themselves who by the workings of their own hands enamored by what they could do, they moved further and further from GOD to the point they forgot HIS PRESENCE completely
