• 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.

Why do you believe in the evolution theory? (2)

I have made my position clear enough on this forum, so feel no need to unpack my views in this regard.
What I object to is you assumption about what Loudmouth may or may not know about something, for imho. his single sentence summarizes a view which is held by many who have discussed these matters at length.

Unless you plan to present a spirit in test tube, I suggest you save your enthusiasm for another forum.

I try to avoid demonizing that which I do not understand. Perhaps when you've made a proper study of these matters, we might talk again.

Bye-bye.

So you don't want to admit whether you actually believe in real spirits. OK. As for LM, and his view on spirits...haha.

Unless you prove Christianity does not involve spirits, you can find one pal. If you want to argue science has squat to say about spirits, I dare you to try.

Maybe try not posting on it either!

I did not say that. Careful now, you just might bite your tongue.

Either way, it's a total waste of my time.
Whatever you might have to say, has been said and was far from adequate.

Bye-bye.

God presented Himself in the testube of a human body. Test tube baby we might say.

Moses and Elijah presented themselves to Jesus and Peter and John on a mountain. Gabriel presented himself to Daniel and Mary. All through the bible spirits were involved in presentations to man.

Is there any believer who does not believe in spirits? No. Your denial of God's presentations of spirits is noted. To ask for some presenting of a spirit in a test tube is denial that God already presented plenty of spirits. We are the test tubes for His Holy Spirit.

That has to be it.

The incarnation = spirit in a test-tube.

Please give me some of what you're smoking, dad!
God is a spirit. Angels too. This is stunning news to you? Funny you didn't admit your simple honest belief as to whether spirits actually exist or not. Instead you make lukewarm efforts at ridicule.

We would not ask someone who knows nothing about spirits and does not really believe in them anyhow what spirits are..or are not.

The basis of trusting God rather than natural processes producing evolutionary change in the living world is still Jesus, he is the basis for what we need to know, and showed it, without coming short. Looking to him there can't be found fault with that.

Why would I trust evolution? It is over, for me at least, only my descendants can participate in evolution. On the other hand, I can at least comprehend how evolution worked to get our species where it is today. That's not what I would call "trusting" evolution, its merely acknowledging evolution. In fact, I resent evolution working to make bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Jesus - now that's something we can trust!
