  • 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

@SkyWriting also...

I'm just saying that, for some reason, God chooses to destroy it from time to time, or set it back a ways, sometimes a long, long ways, from time to time, etc...

And I've presented a theory as to why I think that is, or could be, but maybe you guys have another take maybe...?

I'm very open to them if you guys do...?

God Bless!

Wait, what was your theory?

The creation of the new world.

Which would be or the ending to...? What again...? From which a new beginning starts (again), from...? What...? Etc...

It's not an unforeseen, unplanned event in mans control.

No definitely not unforeseen or unplanned by God as if He didn't or doesn't know about it, or what He does about it, etc, from time to time, etc...

I don't watch TV either...

Except for older movies every once in a great while, stuff I'm already familiar with, most of the time I listen to music a lot...

Why are you making me guess what you are seeing and where you are using it?

God is in control of everything.

He planned
and now executes the orbit of each electron in the Cosmos
and keeps each atom from exploding.

Colossians 1:17
And he is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.

Do you know that the "Strong" force increases the farther an electron is from the center? It's the only force known that increases with distance.

All other forces fade with distance.
Check it out. There is no explanation of why it works that way. It just is.

Yes, all in God's control. Not mans.
But He does it because of man's will, or his (man's) insistence on his own will and/or ways, (man's) etc...

But He knows all about it, etc, been a problem from the very, very beginning, etc, and He knows all about it, etc...

Knows all about what He always does and decides to do about it as well, etc...

Seriously, because of some issues I have, I don't watch the TV or news media, etc, and if I'm not on here, or I'm not listening to music, or I'm not reading or studying my Bible, doing research, etc, or just sitting around listening to music and/or thinking, or cleaning my house, taking care of my animals, cooking, etc, then, about the only thing I do is watch old shows or movies sometimes, and I do play video games every once in awhile also... I also go on bike rides and walks and get outside and outdoors when I can, etc also, etc...

I find other ways to fill and occupy my time...

God Bless!

I ride my bike as well. The families in the park are rarely shooting at each other.

God is in control of everything.
Do you mean He directly controls every single and every littlest (and biggest) things directly, at any time, and at all times, and at every single period or point of time in time, etc, and "everything" and "always" etc, directly, "all things" at "all times", and I do mean "all things"...?

Yes or No...?

Historically in the Bible this has been due to great moral and social decay, due to man's will.

Now are we "seeing" that now...?

The program anomaly, man's will.

The program anomaly, that if left unchecked that spells an escalating probability of disaster, that is systemic and threatens the entire system or this planet's and or mankind's continued existence, if left unchecked, is and always has been, man's own will, and our own supposedly free will of choice and choices...

I say "supposedly" because I both believe and hope that from a certain one's perspective or point of view it's actually not, otherwise we are and will be forever doomed by our own will and our own wills, and man and mankind's own will...

That is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision, or that is otherwise, could be, supposedly "perfect", etc... But, right now, that if left unchecked, etc...

So far the only solution has been to destroy or greatly devastate it, before we can destroy ourselves and our own planet and ruin all life on earths continued existence, and "reset" it all, and set it back quite a ways, sometimes a long, long ways back, and let it essentially start over again, etc... or let or allow it to happen "again" until it becomes a very serious issue and/or problem "again", then "reset it again", allow it to go and happen "again", etc, etc, etc, so on and so forth, and that is how it is and has been kept "in check" so far or thus far...

But it never ever gets to go beyond a certain point yet, because it can't yet or cannot be allowed to yet, cause the whole thing, including us, our planet, etc, would all be gone permanently or forever if it was allowed to (go past a certain point) right now, etc...

So, we are "reset" from time to time right now...

It's an imperfect solution to an imperfect (or perfect) "problem" right now...

So who created the anomaly in the program? Why does it exist? And why is it impossible, or why is it seemingly impossible to create or make it without it, etc...

We know it as the fundamental problem inherent to any program or creating or making any kind of system or program right now, etc... The anomaly just happens and keeps coming up and there seems to be no way to create or make a system, and/or a system or program without it or them happening and/or existing, etc... Right now, etc...

This is our God's problem right now and has been from the very beginning, the anomaly, man's (own) will, etc...

Did "someone" or "another God", or perhaps a "higher God" create the anomaly? If so then "why"? Should we appeal to that One?

Comments...?

God Bless!


I don't see "free-will" as the anomaly. The anomaly is sin.

The challenge that God took/takes on is to create/maintain a world in which true relationship can occur. And relationship is not just based upon one will, ... but the integration of more than one will.

In that sense, the relationship between God and mankind is to be akin to marriage, ... where two wills are challenged to function together for the good. It should be noted that most understand that such a marriage ... requires sacrifice and compromise on the part of both parties. God has certainly sacrificed for this relationship. Also, He compromises His perfect will ... every time He forgives our sin.

Men and women, on the other hand, are called to sacrifice their independence ... and compromise when they, individually, forsake their own will ... for the will of God.

God's true desire is for harmonious (i.e. loving cooperation) between His will ... and humankind. One might say that, though the result is not perfect, it is good. By His words/actions toward us, it is clear that God desires relationship ... more than He desires perfection.

In this sense, the scriptures mirror the Matrix movies in that, the end result is not the elimination of the anomaly, ... but of co-existence between humankind ... and their machines ...

No. What are you seeing...specifically? And where on your bike ride do you see this?

The same thing(s) that happen there (in a computer system, or in programming a computer system) are inherent to making or creating any kind of "system"... There are program "anomalies" or an "anomaly"... We don't know why, but it happens with any system you or one would try to build and/or make, and/or create, etc...
As one who programmed for years/decades, I don't see this to be the case.

In programming, one excludes ... or mitigates for ... all anomalies. Therefore, the system is able to run infinitely, so long as external influences aren't affecting it.

Can you provide an example of the type of anomaly you allude to within the world of programming ?

Oh what a nice picture, too bad you can't see what's going on behind the scenes or behind closed doors with all of them, etc, or in their hearts or their own personal lives, etc, or is going on with them "internally" etc...

Social and Moral decay all around them has them "on the edge" constantly...

People are more confused than ever, inside of themselves this is tormenting them, but you wouldn't see that by just observing what is going on on the outside...

Their angry, their depressed, many of them are suicidal, many of them are having affairs, all kinds of problems going on behind closed doors, many of them are stressed out, under a great, great deal of "pressure", barely holding on and barely holding it together, great rifts and distance in families, absolute chaos both within them and all around them, etc, etc, etc...

Being manipulated and made to feel this way by the world (and the media), etc...

Very, very unhappy on the inside, to say the least, and I could go on (and on) but I'm going to stop there, OK...

I'm seeing this by seeing into their souls and their spirits, and that's where I'm seeing it OK...

God Bless!

Free will is the difference so we are not sex slaves and are being raped by God.
That would be a false love (rape) if we did not love God voluntarily.

So you see inside people, through closed doors, it's invisible, and I don't. Got it.
