• 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.

Knowing death is inevitable, yet a person is born. Who is the murderer? God or Us(people)

Murder is the unlawful taking of a human life. A person who kills another without lawful authority commits murder. A person who kills another with lawful authority is not. Take the case of an executed murderer. It is a person who killed without lawful authority who is then killed by lawful authority. And there is no contradiction there. One is lawful while the other is not.

Dying from natural causes is not murder. God did not bring death on the human race. It was Adam's disobedience. If you will, Adam committed spiritual suicide, leading eventually to physical death. Adam could have chosen life. God knew that he would not. Knowing something will happen does not make you responsible. Many in the intelligence community knew that Putin would invade Russia. That does not mean that CIA and MI6 were responsible.

Death is the beginning of life. When we die we are born again into God's Kingdom. Unless you are first born of water, you cannot be born again. It is not about baptism it is about dying and being born into God's Kingdom we will be born again. Murder is when we deny another human the right to life, like abortion.

Is God a murderer, is that a question that Christians should ask, do we know nothing about God?

All flesh conceived on this earth will be resurrected to be the 1st generation of flesh in the new earth era.
How does that alter your theme? (if it even does)

Another thread that does not belong in the creation vs evolution area.

We sinned.
We gained a dying body.
Sin is death, so we die.

John says that a murderer has no eternal life in him.
Smashing pumpkins say the killer in me is the killer in you.
I say pointing fingers is pointless.
