  • 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.

You can't argue with Scripture.
I can argue with your interpretation of scripture. Scriptures do not say what you impose on it.

The earth is a globe. The Bible never taught that the earth is flat. Secondly, the flat earth theory has been fully debunked. The evidence against it is overwhelming.

The sun circuits the sky.
I presume you mean rather than the earth rotating. So why does it rise and set? Why, half-way through a sunrise or sunset, do we see half a sun, not a sun getting smaller and smaller as it travels further and further from us?

No idea, all's I know is that sun circuits the sky as it states in the Bible.

So Scripture is nonsense is it ?
But the post "That is nonsense" was in reply to your post which consisted of a You Tube video, and nothing else, no Scripture mentioned. It is the video, not Scripture, that Henenza was saying was nonsense.

Interpretations can be. When one interprets an obviously symbolic verse literally the interpretation does not make sense.

No. That is observational context not literal. The Bible does not oppose what has been fully proven, only interpretations that go against what has been fully proven go against God’s actual creation.

This pretty lady is not following basic hermeneutics. She is missing context and who is writing to whom for what purpose. For example, Job 37:18- “With Him, have you spread out the skies, Strong as a cast metal mirror?” is not saying the sky is actually “a cast metal mirror,” nor is He saying that the sky is impenetrable. It does reflect heat back to earth, but God is referring to summer heat and drought, which is when Hebrews said the sky is bronze. Most mirrors were made of bronze. Anyhow, God is asking Job if he can create summer heat and drought.

It is a grave error to interpret all scripture too literally. If you do, the Bible is full of contradictions. For example, the synoptic gospels don’t agree on the details of Christ’s resurrection. They are from three sources with three points of view. If God dictated the account to the writers, they would agree, but He didn’t. Each writer truthfully recorded what they were told or saw. Literalists are then used by non-believers to verify that the Bible is not from God. However, it is not a problem if hermeneutics is properly applied. The flat earth theory is so easily debunked, it makes a mockery of believing Christians that support it.
