  • 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

Well in God's words it is.
Well, here are verses 8 & 9 from Job 38:

““Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb; When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band;” (Job 38:8-9 NKJV)

You seem to be claiming the words are literal. So you presumably believe that the sea issued from a literal womb, that it wears literal garments, that it has a literal swaddling band.

No don't be silly but I do believe that the ice walls of Antarctica is what God meant when he said this in Job 38:8.

So now God is a bird? So Jesus, both man and God, is half man and half bird? Is that what the Bible say?

But why? God does not say to Job that the doors of the sea are a wall made of ice, or that He only makes barriers for the sea around Antarctica, so what biblical reason can you give for believing that He meant a huge ice wall around Antarctica?

It’s not a literal reading. We’ve talked about poetic and non literal verses but you still insist in a literal reading of a verse that it is clearly not literal.

For example:

“He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Does God have wings and feathers? Is He going to give you a shield and a buckler to defend His truth?

Well in God's words it is.

So now God is a bird? So Jesus, both man and God, is half man and half bird? Is that what the Bible say?

Follow your responses to my post. You said that in God’s word He is a bird because the Bible says so. So then the logical conclusion of your interpretation is that Jesus is indeed man and bird since Jesus is fully man and fully God.

Do you not see the nonsense of interpreting non literal scripture literally?

The walls are the doors which stop the seas bursting forth. The only doors I know of would be Antarctica's iced walls that keeps the seas at bay.
Unless you know of any more doors that might do this.

Can you prove that the ice walls are over 25000 miles long?

So then God, the Father, is a bird and Jesus, the Son, is a bird man. lol you don’t see nonsense here?
@Apple Sky

A laughing emoji does not answer my question to you. It is your interpretation and you need to justify your interpretation.

So prove it.

I don't have to, God wouldn't have placed doors at just one part of Antarctica, no, God in his mighty wisdom would have encircled the entire earth with them.

Job 37:9-10

Well there wouldn't be would there ?
So, if it is not in scripture then you are merely reading your belief into scripture. People have proven many parts of the Bible true because of science but people have not seen or proven a 25000 mile wall of ice even though we have explored every continent including Antarctica, Why do you think that is?

Most are looking in the wrong place instead of looking for the continent of Antarctica (which BTW doesn't exist) they should be looking on the utter outskirts for the ring of Antarctica.

So why does not God mention that the "doors" only hold in the sea around Antarctica? That's even assuming that there are ice walls around Antarctica. The bible doesn't mention them, and explorers haven't seen them.
