  • 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.

What are some examples of everyday faith?

I see all the time people saying there is no evidence in God. However, these same people have blind faith in everyday things and do not require the amount of evidence to believe in these things as they require of God.

I was thinking one example might be having faith that your car will start in the morning when you put the key in the ignition. There is no scientific study required for people to believe in that.

Can you give some stronger examples?

I wouldnt say there is a whole lot of evidence needed in order to have faith in God. On the other hand, scientific laboratories and human resources can be quite expensive.
I have a book next to my bed that has 66 books and letters in it that answer just about all of my questions that I have everyday in life. If I were to ignore it I would have to come up with some sort of alternative truth. Therefore, mankind has decided that there is no truth, and anyone who declares they know what is, is a fool.
Its interesting that philosophers and teachers preach that its impossible to know truth, yet they are regarded as some of the most intelligent people in the world. But when the saved Christian stands up and declares his/her faith, they are mocked and considered inept. In other words, to know nothing is genius (the humanist), yet knowing something is failure. Its a backwards world. But then again Satan is the ruler of the world right now, so I would expect it to be this way. Someday it will change forever (Revelation)
