• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I'm not qualified to say what is or isn't insane.

But me trying to turn into a man....seems like
very unhealthy mind.

I figure people who think they are getting
supernatural messages are at least as disturbed.
Those have been around in numbers like since forever, in all cultures.

I don't know what a biblical worldview is. Too
many different / opposed ideas historically and now.

What do you see as being such a view? A literal
reading of ot / nt or just " try to follow jesus"?

I think it's the human condition for there to
always be every sort of person. And to think
everything is always getting worse. The end coming.

That's really a waste of mental energy.

Hong Kong has been doom n gloom my whole
life. Beijing is going to destroy everything.
A lot of stress / mental illness.

Nothing has gone as predicted but a lot of people
ruined their lives thinking they did know, and panicing
into bad moves.

If it’s a waste of mental energy then why are you seeking to understand my thought process? And why should I waste my time trying to explain to you things that you’ve already assumed are a waste of mental energy lol?

I agree with Solomon 100%

Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.


Ecc 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?


Ecc 1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.


Ecc 1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.


Ecc 1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.


Ecc 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.


Ecc 1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.


Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.


Ecc 1:10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.


Ecc 1:11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.


Nighty nighty peeps, it’s time to go to sleep.

I think you're confusing the Vanity of Overblown Knowledge Claims with the actual Value of Real Knowledge.

These are two different things.

Some of the way in which we understand this issue pivots on which Philosophy of Education we subscribe to ...
