  • 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.

Sorry you are still confused. All I am asking is this: Who is the "Guiding Head" mentioned as being responsible for the video? What is the "Zion Colony" of which he is the guiding head?

Evidence enough.
No, because I cannot confirm or deny anything in the video. Without citations and references there is nothing to look at.

Jerry . Joshua wrote under the inspiration and guidance of God . As with all other authors of the Bible. So it’s from Gods perspective. Not merely man’s perspective. Joshua is mostly a historical account. And should be taken that way accordingly as a literal account. . Yu say ( how do yu know? Joshua just wrote what he saw) because we have the book of Joshua that testifies to that . And it says what it says . As I said at the beginning of Apples post. The Bible is an extremely geocentric book. What to do with that ? Does the Bible have to bow to the science of men as with old age earth theory, evolutionary theory and now heliocentric theory as well, and now to be interpreted another way to appease the Science of mere men ? View attachment 374569 I don’t find it as a mere coincidence that all 3 theories turned up around the same time in the 19th century. As if a 3 pronged attack to undermine the authority of the word of God. One thing is certain all three challenge the word of God . Whereas the geocentric view puts humanity and the earth in a very special place with the sun rotating around us being. And the us being Gods crowning achievement. All heliocentricity does is place humanity at the ass end of the universe as just a another meaningless speck amongst a vast array of galaxies as is attested well in the numerous publications of science today. Who knows perhaps geocentricity Reeked to much of God for a man centred ideology to prosper and so again the Bible must be brought into submission to man. Jerry My thoughts for today.. Kathleen
I’ve been busy with other things, but I wanted to reply anyway. First of all, I believe that the Bible is inspired by God. However, different books have different levels of inspiration. Some are just eye-witness accounts inspired to the point that the authors wrote truthfully. Joshua, Kings and Chronicles are books of this sort. There was no reason for God to explain His miracles, but He did want the events recorded accurately. Many writings are from the human perspective in relation to what God did for them. That is the point, not explaining the workings of the creation.

You wrote, “All heliocentricism does is place humanity at the ass end of the universe as just another meaningless speck amongst a vast array of galaxies.” I see this in the opposite light. God gave special attention to “this meaningless speck” and sent His Son to save us. That is the way God is. My wife works with a microscope and shows me the amazing complexity of the microscopic world. The wonder of creation is not dependent on size or location.

Prodromos what be nonsense? what model held sway in those centuries you mention . It certainly wasn’t what Copernicus or Kepler promoted. Geocentricity was still the accepted model
So was the theory of the four humors, and germ theory was rejected.

Not really. It seems that you don't even know who made the video, let alone how trustworthy it is.

So you saying that all the articles in the video are not true just because I don't know who made the video (who BTW is Odysee) and who maybe untrustworthy ? The mind boggles.

From what I could see, there was no context to the articles - nothing to show whether the Washington newspaper was publishing them as serious scientific articles or not. And saying that the person who made the video is called Odysee as well as the Guiding Head tells me nothing about his credentials or his trustworthiness.

So you've decided this because there's nothing to show whether the Washington newspaper was publishing them as serious scientific articles or not.
There are 125 articles to stream through and your telling me that they are all untrustworthy ? Hmm -Okay.

No, you have misread what I wrote. I wrote that with the information available, we have no way of assessing their trustworthiness. I didn't say that they were all untrustworthy.

The thing that is hard to understand is that you reject creditable publications and videos of Christians for the last 400 years, and you accept information that doesn’t provide background information to allow the reader to check references and sources. It doesn’t make sense.

What videos have I rejected ? The only video I've ever rejected was that of Charles Duke & I have never rejected a video because of who posted it.

What about publications of Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Sir Isaac Newton, and Hugh Ross, and many others that have been presented to you. Videos about astronomy are in the hundreds. You reject all of these and believe only those who support flat earth who are not astronomers or astronauts.

Don't you reject all evidence that the earth is a globe, whatever the source is, as being untrustworthy and untruthful? All products of an elaborate conspiracy to hide the truth and deceive?

I've not rejected them by whom posted them but by the subject.

Yes, but I have never rejected a video because of who posted it.
But if the source was NASA, you'd say something along the lines of: "You can't trust anything from NASA. Even their name is the Hebrew for 'deception'". To save any misunderstanding, I am not claiming that you used those exact words.
