  • 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.

social darwinism has historic roots in darwinism, hence it's name. So I am not sure what your point is here.

"Social Darwinists base their beliefs on theories of evolution developed by British naturalist Charles Darwin. "

from the University of Colorado at Boulder database

By his actions and fruit, he seems to have been another tree than a Christian one. This lesson I apply to any antiChrist government such as the present one in the US.


But we should remember here that you are a man who actually thinks he shares a parent with a potato!!! You believe, in other words that some parent or ancestor of the potato was also yours!!!


Why would I care what someone who thought worms having sex eventually produced mankind thought about who really had the creator inside their heart?

I belive in all the scriptures even the lordship salvation ones
. I believe god will not force salvation on anyone.

When we ask to get saved He gives us His gift of salvation. In no way is that forced. Like being born, a baby has life, it is not forced to have life all it's days.




if someone accepts christ but later wants nothing to do with him, I believe god will say " not my will, but thine be done." and in doing so gives them over to a reprobate mind as the bible states.
No, when Paul gave someone over to Satan so the body could be destroyed, that has zero to do with killing salvation. In the verse you allude to, it was speaking specially about a group of men he called 'they of the circumcision'. It may be true that some Jews were not saved and so still had their reprobate minds. That doesn't mean they would not be saved one day! Paul had a reprobate mind as well a long long time before getting saved. You may not take this to mean God would toss the saved to hell the moment they said or did the wrong thing.

I dont expect you to change your theology here. but I also dont expect to change my convictions of hebrews 6 which states "whose end it to be burned" as the result. the important thing is we agree hitler was not a christian but an evolutionist.
Again, you cannot pick out a verse that seems to indicate something, that opposes the rest of the bible. Hebrews talked about some people who were apparently close to believers. They had 'tasted' of God's Spirit and the heavenly things. If those folks betray God and become His enemies, then it would be impossible to have them regain their former place of service. Indeed, as I mentioned some God would have to remove from this life on earth. In NO way does that mean they were to be 'unsaved'!!!! God is not a liar, and He changes not, whether some of us do or not.

Lurkers, relax. If you get saved, you will always be saved! Jesus didn't die for nothing.

Once again you forget, I have scientific evidence for my claims. You have none for yours. You know, scientific evidence, the stuff that made such advances as computers possible. Say, since you disagree with scientific evidence so much isn't it just a little bit hypocritical to be using devices that are so dependent upon scientific evidence?

Only because I love Him. You have in no way, shape or form even come close to meriting an answer. Pearls before a swine.

"Jesus" (God the Son) is the individuated image/being of the invisible infinite God whom none can approach. He conquered death before dying and taught others to do the same. He is the Way to the Father, the Truth of being an upright Man, and He is the Light of all beings.

But your ignorant flippancy and complete lack of integrity is shameful and obtuse. No more answers for you.

Social Darwinism was not an idea of Darwin's. It appears to be very much akin to the extreme right wing advocacy of unregulated capitalism. Its a mystery why those who advocate extreme right wing unfettered capitalism are so often opposed to Darwin and his ideas.

Of course, the problem with survival of the fittest corporations is that it is the corporations that wind up surviving instead of people.

Goodness. Too bad we can't find out who it is that you love. A yes or no would have been all it took. Now you have to go playing the nasty guru routine.

He conquered death before dying?? Does that mean He rose from the dead too? He is the way to the Father..the only way? Or just one way?
But your ignorant flippancy and complete lack of integrity is shameful and obtuse. No more answers for you.
I never needed any from you, and the ones you did give are great for lurkers who may not have clued in. Cheerio.

Easy to forget since you post none ever. Occasionally you spam post a few religious links and run off as if you did something special.

Blathering nonsense. Name anything about the same state past methodology and belief system that advances anything in the real world!!

Try not to pretend you have some connection with science and the so called science beliefs and fables.

Actually I have. You, like most creationists do not know what evidence is. For example here is a link that lists many transitional species:List of transitional fossils - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That is all evidence for evolution. It is not evidence for creation. It cannot be denied, that would only show that you do not know what evidence is.

If Hitler threw Jews off of tall buildings because Newton's Laws of Gravity demanded it, would that make him a Social Newtonist?

Or better yet, can you show us anywhere in the theory of evolution where it says that we should kill Jews?

I looked at your link. It lists finds of fossils, and assigns dates and evolutionary theology to them, all based on nothing but belief. The hour is late to engage in such passe godless tripe.

The author of the theory has been advocating killing babies and God's people since ever there was a man on the planet.

The fact is that it is evidence that supports the theory of evolution. Your denial of that fact is proof that you do not know what evidence is.

Then throwing people off of buildings is social newtonism.

Once again, you try to poison the well to avoid the clear evidence supporting the theory of evolution.




I am going to be stealing that phrase in the future. Not exactly stealing, here is something in exchange. A phrase that I ran into that describes the posts of certain members here. For example when dad waxes about his different state past it is Deja Moo all over again. In other words you have seen that bovine end product before.

once again you refuse to address the university information I present.

Also social newtonism doesn't exist, so your analogy is blatantly false.

you can throw up that term in your box of created evolutionist terms. Like quote mine. It doesn't exist in any dictionary (accept wikipedia= which is public edited).

I have to run right now, but Darwin's works were on the banned list in Nazi Germany, it is on this page:

When Books Burn: Lists of Banned Books, 1933-1939

Origin of the species, is not on the list, what is is primitive darwinism (monism)

from your link number 6# on the list of banned books

"6. Writings of a philosophical and social nature whose content deals with the false scientific enlightenment of primitive Darwinism and Monism (H�ckel)."
