• 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.

This pretty much just makes you a supporter of the multiverse hypotheses. If you want to accept quantum physics or not, they did give us the nuclear bomb. So they do have the ability to destroy the world as we currently know it.
Not in any way, actually. This universe God made and it will be recreated one day. This world right here was different in nature and laws the bible seems to indicate. No invented other world's or universes involved whatsoever.

Backpedal all you want, but you're not going to handwave away the misogynist and prejudicial attitudes of your religion.
Women are not equal in every way, they are are the weaker vessel, and have a place in the world somewhat different than that God set for man.

My "religion" is supported by the Sciptures, which, according to you, were written by men?

Right?

Did Ruth & Esther know this?

Ruth couldn't have known -- her book is attributed to Samuel. And the Jews (who should know, really) tend to attribute the Book of Esther to Mordecai.

Do you evidence that the people of that time allowed women to write, or be educated?
Read Luke 1:46-55 (the Magnificat).

Mary fires off one OT quote after another in rapid succession.

That would put even Jack VanImpe, the "Walking Bible," to shame.

So, your evidence is a pseudonymous author quoting a woman in a fabricated third person narrative. For shame indeed!

Usually, I don't rely on scripture to give me a credible view of history.
