• 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.

  • 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.

Thoughts on the deep dive of the capsule with 5 people?

Hmm.
I’m confused.
Yes it’s sad but why would you cry about
It. This man chose to not listen to others who warned him
Not to go.
I cried thinking about what it must have been for them when they realized all was lost. For some reason i have been grieving and praying for them since they lost contact. I don't know why i took it so personally.

I understand praying for his family. I want to say this and please don’t find offense. I believe they were trying to do something evil and heinous by being down there. It’s like the billionaire that keeps taking people to mars. These people are being manipulated by a demonic force e. It goes back to people thinking they can escape the judgement of God. No one can!

That’s an interesting take on the human spirit of adventure.

The adults inderstood the risks, likely, but I'm not sure about the 19 year old, who had his whole life ahead of him.
I also read somewhere that he was apprehensive about going. I'm wondering if he went along to please his father, and if they were lulled into a false sense of safety when it wasn't that safe.
I pray for all the families with their loss.

What we’re trying to tell you is there was never a moment they realized all was lost. The time it took to completely pulverize all biological elements in that sub was quicker than the time it takes the brain to process sensation. It’s as peaceful a death as there is, from an experiential standpoint.

Adventure that leaves your dead. Some things don’t need to be explored. Curiosity killed the cat. Humanity always try to be God. Instead of just allowing the existence of God to create an awe factor.

This is my point exactly. Pulled into a false sense of security. The world we live in being on its way to hell with all of its sense of adventure rather than taking a look at the signs that are all around them pointing to the existence of God.

I’m not clear on how seeking adventure, even very dangerous adventure, is trying to be God. This is their own way of experiencing and appreciating our planet.

I am not an adventurer because I am not comfortable with risk or danger, ( nor do I have the budget) but I admit that if there was a way to “poof” myself to the Space Station, or top of Everest, the bottom of the oceans, without any risk of death, I would like to see these views for myself. A picture vs in person, there is no comparison.

Adventure often gives a person even more opportunity to see those signs. Being able to fly in an airplane or hot air balloon or hang glider lets us see the earth in a vastly different way than when on the ground. Traveling into space gives an even grander view. Seeing the ocean depths is something few can afford to do, and lets us see God's creation there that we normally can't.
None of this sounds evil to me.

I will tell you how. Going to the moon or mars is a way for men to try and escape the judgement of GOD. They think if they leave the planet and live outside of earth when Jesus returns they will escape judgement- judgement of apocalypse-rapture. No one escapes their sins just found them out. He should have stayed home.

Usually, people who pay millions for space trip are not fascinated with God or the planet he made. They are fascinated with science. Something they attribute the creation -dumb Big Bang theory. Do you see a Christian astronaut?

Nobody has gone to Mars yet.
As for those who went to the moon, they all returned since each mission was a temporary visit. There is no oxygen or life support structure on the moon.
Escaping the judgement of Jesus had nothing to do with it.

That’s your opinion. Please find a Christian Astronaut?

How can I be a True Christian and trust Science and God. By trusting my faith i discount most of scientist theories. It’s like trusting the COVID vaccine as a Christian
The same way a True Christian can trust their momma and their god.

Trust in something is only an issue when it causes you to not trust God as a result. For example, if science shows that the way air flows over the shape of a wing of an airplane causes the airplane to be able to fly, and take people high up over the earth and to places far away, do you believe trusting that science is somehow betraying your trust in God?

I have never heard of such a bizzarre theory about astronaut motivations, and honestly don’t believe anyone who has had the opportunity to go to space or reach the moon, has ever had the thought they were attempting to escape judgement from God. Anyone who believes also believes God is everywhere throughout the whole of the Universe.
