• 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.

First you take little baby steps, then as you grow and mature you learn how to walk like a man. Just like Science you have to test and try something before you can determine if it is true or not. What makes you think religion and science are all that much different in that regard> If you accept science without testing it first you could get yourself into a lot of trouble.

Yeah, I was a Christian once. Put things to the test and they all failed. Science, however, withstands testing.

So thanks, but I'll stick with science. I can see the results of the tests done to science, and they're all passes.

As much as I needed to in order to determine the truth for myself. As they say: It does not matter if you try to prove God or disprove God. If your an honest person you will come to the conclusion that there is a God. The problem is when people do not seek to know if there is or if there is not a God.

And, pray tell, how did you test God? I mean you personally.

First of all, you start by assuming the Bible is right in order to show that the Bible is right.

Circular logic makes you dizzy.
No. That is known, and only denied by the ignorant.
Secondly, once again you are demonstrating a lack of knowledge about science so severe that you should be terribly embarrassed. Honestly, dad, you are making a fool of yourself with these ludicrous claims.

(Hint for you: The different running of clocks doesn't depend on getting further away from the Earth. It depends on how close you are to a source of gravity. As you go further away from Earth, you are getting closer and closer to other sources of gravity. Your idea MIGHT work if the Earth was the only thing in the universe, but the Earth is not alone, therefore you are wrong.)

I understand that you have a theory. It looms large in your mind. Notwithstanding that there has to be support. If you are correct, fine. We shall see. Prove that it is gravity that is responsible? How high have you tested this idea? This should be fun.

You cannot be serious; Even Jesus, Moses, and all the prophets died, and also every person who ever lived till today with the exception of the now living has died. Are you implying that you are immortal:confused:
Yes. I am immortal. I have everlasting life. Jesus died to give that to us we all can have it. Jesus rose from the dead. He raised up others also. Moses was on the mountain chatting with Jesus, Moses is alive. So are our loved ones on the other side if they believe.

DAD you are doing a disservice to your faith when you claim such things! I find this unbelievable to say the least.
You apparently has some wrong ideas.

Yeah. All those scientists who actually work in the field are ignorant. You can surely produce much more useful information. So why don't you? If they are ignorant, why are they right?

Are you actually arguing with Einstein?

Really?

About how to make a sugar substitute, or what the pre flood world was like?

No. Not unless you continue the fail and no science folks can helpp us rule out a time difference that is not due to earth state reasons (velocity, and gravitation..)

You see I wonder if here in the earth state, where gravity and velocity are the big things, that might obscure a time difference cause that was independent of these things?

As far as Einstein goes, his relativity is relative to the earth state as far as I can see...not the universe.

Dad, look at that first word there. And then look at the rest of what you said. I asked if you were going to argue with Einstein, and you said no. And what did you do then? You argued with Einstein.

Honestly, you have no idea what you are talking about, and you are making yourself look ridiculous. The only reason you don't see it is because you do not know enough about what you are arguing against to know you are wrong.

Perhaps what you put to the test was the teaching of man. Not the word of God. Because God's word does not ever fail, I am sure of that. It is just like people will say I do not believe in God. So I ask them to tell me about the God they do not believe in. It turns out that I do not believe in the God that they do not believe in also. They simply do not know the God that I know and believe in.

Yes, all the little greats of so called science are pip squeaks in the big picture.
Such arrogance and vanity. One would think that you would be aware that both are sins, and yet you have ignored these pipsqueak sins in the big picture of your religion! Dear me :doh:

False. Calling a spade a spade is cool. For example...
2Sa 1:27 - How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!



Isa 5:21 -

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight



Isa 10:1 -Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

Are you saying I wasn't a real Christian?

I do believe that's frowned upon on this site.

"No true Scotsman", just another logical fallacy they use all the time. Examples that I saw here: "If you were a Christian and are not one anymore, you were never a true Christian"; "If you were a Christian and participated in the Crusades, you were never a true Christian"; "If you were a Christian and killed witches during the Spanish Inquisition, you were never a true Christian". The list goes on forever.

It failed. I was there when it failed. I am sure of that.

Kinda vague. I suppose some people think the word fails if they jump in a den of poisonous snakes and get bitten. I guess some of us think God fails when a loved one gets sick or dies.

I must admit when I hear that sort of thing it creeps me out. For example, I could be listening to an otherwise great teacher talking on bible prophesy...right on the money...then they launch into some Calvinist bizarro world. (where they say things like if someone sins they were never saved..etc)
