  • 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.

Why do Christians insist that we need some type of "objective" morals, when every indication from every society since recorded history suggests we make our own?

Without objectivity, there is no order.

Thats why the world is in the condition it is and you dont even realize the collapse is coming.

The US has aborted 50,000,000 human babies.
The US killed over 500,000 children in the gulf war, and mamed untold numbers of civilians.

This is a direct violation of Gods law, and now we are legalizing it..

The current economic catastrophe that is coming is a result of what we did wrong..

God warned us.

Your about to see enough chaos for every generation of humans who have ever lived on earth.

I know you have a decent idea of end time prophecy.. Ever heard of the Beast? Man of Sin? The Lawless one?

Well guess what, all he needs to declare himself god is a Temple of God to stand in.

Since you were a Christian, things have been developing without you.

As soon as Israel and Palestine get peace, the Jews will erect the Temple of God.

When you see this, you know we are about to enter Daniels 70th week (2014-2021) Which is a widely agreed upon time frame, not just one fanatic saying it either..

Here is the historic covenant in its early phase of fruition.

See below, this has NEVER happened in history, ever.. Why is the Pope getting involved with the Jews? Hmm... I wonder..

Palestines president met with the Pope recently as well.

A philosophy that makes you fear both war AND peace?

I sometimes think that I am the kind of person that would have the capability to do this sort of thing to you guys, but sometimes I must just sit back and revel in it's mastery.

Prophecy.

And I know you arent being intellectually serious by your post.

Peace is in the prophecy. We wont see the final show until Israel has peace.. Thats why the Jews are trying to build their Temple, its prophecy so it has to come.

God warned about what is coming to this earth.

People like to crack jokes like God is a fairy tale but trust me, before next year is finished you will have your faith again.

I promise.

The darker forces and world governing system is being setup behind your back lol..

Most dont even know what is going on.. Its going to be a crazy show for sure..

Relax, lets come to an understanding, or an impasse..

What are your beliefs predicated on concerning your existence? Spirituality?
I would describe my theistic position as ignostic.

I would not consider myself an intellectual.

What do use as an objective basis for your morals?
I do not have an objective basis for my morals, or see it as a requirement.

Murder, by definition, is unlawful. Breaking the law has consequences. Is it always wrong to break the law? By what measure?

They are also convicted by this as they have a reason to know its objectively wrong, because our creator forbids us from killing each other.
I would never have guessed that from reading the bible.

I wonder just how many failed end-time prophecies it will take before mankind grows out of them?

Yeah, any prophecy before 1948 was doomed to fail. Israel hadnt returned.

The last generation is here, according to prophecy, and that is a 70 year period.

70+1948 is 2018.

2018 is also the jubilee passover.

Meaning Daniels 7th week starts next year mang.. (Last 7 years on earth)

That is why you are seeing the frequency of super storms, blizzards, earthquakes, celestial events like Russia and the US this year ect..

This is the build up..

Oops.. Periph, shut your mouth, these folks dont know about all that..

There I go on a tangent again..

I will only fix the bbcode for you this once, Mr. "IQ of 170".

I will also correct you on another thing: I am not here looking for religion. I am here to learn about theists. It is easier to practice here than on the family.
Ah.. you guys with this ignostic business.. I remember when the term went mainstream..

Well thats interesting, I would say you are, or else I wouldn't be having this conversation.
A failed attempt at flattery, particularly of yourself.
Ok, so you just decide whats wright or wrong on your own or do you follow the law?
You have asked, and I have answered, this question already.
At this point in our exchange, gods are characters in books. Movies too. You do know what ignostic means, do you not? Or do we have to hash that out?

I said, murder, by definition, is unlawful. Breaking the law has consequences. Is it always wrong to break the law? By what measure?

Will I continue to have to repeat myself a lot with you?
Have you read the Bible at all, at least from a philosophical perspective?
Yes.

I am not reformatting your post for you.

Was Rosa Parks wrong for breaking the law?

Oh yes, she absolutely was..

We are taught to suffer. Her pride got her arrested. It was unnecessary.


We operate on this formula.

Love as many people and help as many people as you can before your needs are met...

Crazy I know..


The idea is that the more people understand the power of altruism, the healthier we are as a society.

This will manifest in a better planet and overall happiness for all.

I got news for you, the bible is man made as well and by authors that were unknown. It was men who decided what would make it into the bible as well.

Let's see if you can get your other foot into your mouth as well.

Was Mahatma Gandhi wrong from breaking the law?

How is my foot in my mouth in the first place?


Gandhi revered Christ, but he wasnt a Christian.

Im not familiar with Gandhis arrest records, do you have specific events in mind for reference?

Yes we call that the ecumenical gathering.

We know the Bible was written by men.

We speak in spirit, when indwelt, and some in those days were called to prophecy.

The Prophets wrote the same things spanning almost 2000 years and the men never knew each other, they were all alive at different times but were called by God to communicate.. They all said the same thing, its not "made up"...

Save for Christ and his Gospel, everything in the Bible checks out historically accurate and hasnt been proven wrong before.
