  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yes, but I think @Apple Sky was asking who it was that decided that Sunday should be named after the sun, Monday after the moon and so on.
That's the bit I don't know.
It was probably due to influence from Norse invaders leaving their mark on the language. Tyr, Woden (old Germanic for Odin), Thor and Frigg are the source for the English names Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

So when a person knows a lot about stuff, but not being a Christian, means we should ignore what they have to say ?
It depends on what they know and the subject under discussion.
It depends on whether they really report the facts, and the truth, or whether they interpret the facts to suit their belief.

I deleted my answer my mistake, so I'll say it again. It's not rubbish. Don't you realise Dubay earns money from you watching his videos, sharing them, and getting others to watch them?

That's why you are a shining billboard for him. You promote and defend a pagan God-mocker, and you earn him money as well!

And his source for what he says is pagan. It has nothing to do with supporting God's creation. His is a pagan belief. Do you really think that he's objective when it comes to the shape of the earth? How can he be when he has to match what it is with his own belief system. Otherwise it would deny his pagan philosophy as fake. And he's not going to do that.

Of course it makes sense - when we have ample proof that the earth is a globe from eyewitness testimony of Christians, and somebody (another Christian) turns to a pagan God-mocker for support against them. It would be the equivalent of the followers of Jesus giving eyewitness testimony that He has risen and somebody (another follower of Jesus) using a pagan to support a claim that the testimonies of His resurrection are lies.

And Dubay doesn’t verify Christianity in any way.
Well actually the argument put forth continues to make no sense. Phil Yes I do know Eric has a very poor outlook upon Christianity but you must remember there has been a number of Christian writers that have written in a positive manner about flat earth over the past few centuries. . So it not be solely the Eric Dubay show. And it certainly doesn’t disqualify him on other topics such as the flat earth for being merely a pagan .That’s the point. Do remember that Flavius Josephus remained a Pharisee for the rest of his life. But much of of his work is still highly recommended to this very day by the church. You certainly have every right to disagree with the flat earth. But just not merely on the grounds of Eric being a pagan

She has also managed to turn the subject away from that of perspective.
This is always the situation with her. She never keeps to the subject at hand. Once she can no longer answer, she deflects to another subject. And once she can no longer answer that one, she deflects to yet another. And on it goes.....eventually repeating back to the same topics again as if they have never been answered by us.

It seems to me that this her way of coping with things she can't understand.

That's deflecting from what I'm saying. I'm pointing out that Dubay should be a no-go for Christians. Remember it's @Apple Sky who keeps bringing his videos into the debate and expecting us to watch them.

And his pagan beliefs certainly do disqualify him from Christians promoting his claims about flat earth. His pagan beliefs are what influences his claims. Anything opposed to those beliefs would not be acceptable to him, whether they are true or not. I've watched enough of his videos to see where he comes from and I'm not giving him any more money by doing that again.

What I write doesn't deflect anything. Your argument is that Apple uses Eric Dubay to much and that he should be disqualified on the matter of flat earth discussion for being merely a pagan. I’ve bought a book or two from him and watched many of his videos also. But doesn't mean I disqualify on grounds of being merely a heathen. Again that’s the point I be making

What Eric Dubay is worth.

His net worth or what he earns on YouTube is not the issue. The issue is he earns money by your promotion of him. And his pagan beliefs are promoted too, which is even more serious for a Christian to be doing.

No you’re still deflecting from my point. It’s his paganism that influences his flat earth beliefs. He’s not objective about it.
