• 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.

Where do Christians stand?

Wow, what a convincing argument you have provided us!! How about this one: What we have is foolish people who think their flawed interpretation of scripture makes them smarter than the thousands of scientists all over the world who use the theory of evolution every day. Creationism is The worst piece of bovine excrement ever!

Yes, indeed.

Whether or not you believe in evolution is the litmus test here.

If you say Jesus walked on water, but you believe in evolution, they'll nary say a word.

But if you say Jesus walked on water, but you don't believe in evolution, you're everything but what's in your profile -- and more.

(And did you mean 'seemly', or 'seemingly'? I'm assuming you meant 'seemingly'.)

I believe in limited evolution; the kind that requires your Roundup™ to be stronger next year.

That would be really special if anyone out there had actually divined the words of a god. What you have is the Bible and the Koran and the Torah and all that other namelmarb that you claim is the "word of God" but is actually a bunch of stories passed down from men to other men. No gods were ever involved in any of it. Men. And more men. All men claiming higher sources for their holy books. You're so certain. But there's nothing at all superior about any of these holy books. They're so contextual to the time. Slavery, murder, sexual perversion, multiple wives and the usual hosts of mythical creatures.

You might get away with saying it's the story of people who interacted with their god... but you have to take it to ridiculous proportions. "It's literally true, all of it." No, it's not. And just saying it's true doesn't make it so.

But you are hurting us. All of us. Because you try to destroy the actual pursuit of knowledge. It wasn't enough that you took science down for 1500 years when nobody could question anything because of the Christian church. No... you're at it again.

Ignorance should NOT be tolerated just because it's cloaked in religion.

Read the history of the posts, then you know who its referring to. This is a continuation of a conversation between Bex and I. She made a statement that another poster claimed that the entire Bible is fact. I was responding to that.

Hello Tyronnem,

mmm....both blessings and curses come out of your mouth.

 How do you know they are worshipping Mary? Can you read their hearts?

For idolatry to exist they would have to believe that that statue is a God and I don't know any one who thinks that.

I could make the same mistake of spreading the lie that all Sola Scriptura Christians commit idolatry by worshipping the Bible and prefer a relationship with a book, rather than a real relationship with Yeshua the Living Breathing Word of God.

But I won't spread that lie, because:

1. I know that it is not true
2. It is unchristlike, we must try hard to discipline our tongues
3. It's unconstructive in that it divides Christians which makes the Devil happier
4. I don't like gossip and spreading mistruth and;
5. I personally know many Sola Scriptura Christians who are great Christians. We just worship differently and agree to disagree on some doctrines. They have never accused me of not being a Christian and vice versa.

I don't limit Yeshua's teachings to words in a book. Not everything he taught, said or did is in the Bible and he never wrote anything down. He taught by example and orally to the Apostles and they taught orally until they realised he was not coming back in their lifetime and wrote down their memoirs.

For me, the Bible (word of God) will always be inferior to Yeshua ( the living breathing Word of God made flesh).

On the Muslim question I would agree that Muslims do not consider the Bible fantasy.

Blessings

Yes, I apologise, I'm partly to blame too, I digressed also.

Gonna try to stick to the thread topic.

Thanks for trying to get us back on track.

Blessings
