• 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.

Wrong. If you had any "proof" you would have posted them. In fact there is no "proof" for the Bible.
If you thought the bible needed re proving forget it. That is known and not a matter of debate here. Your denial really amounts to hot air.
People have been realizing that now that information flows so much more easily thanks to the internet. That is why atheism has been growing at such a rapid pace recently.

Voices tell you that? Maybe you think you invented the internet too?

No, not Jesus. According to your Bible your God did that.

If the son shall set you free you are free indeed.

Joh 8:34 Jesus replied, "I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave of sin.

John 8:36 - If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
And there was no changing of the law. Even in the New Testament slaves are told to obey their masters
As free men!


Ro 6:6 -Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.


Ro 8:15 -So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves. You should behave instead like God's very own children, adopted into his family – calling him "Father, dear Father."

Ga 4:5 -God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.


To tell those employed as slaves to try to still do their job, rather than revolt, or become criminals is not much different than telling folks who work at Walmart to give 2 weeks notice if they want to quit! Many 'master's were converted when they saw their slaves were the free ones, and happy ones, and rich ones!


But I am not walking opposite of the way of the godly. I knew that slavery was wrong when I was a Christian and I still know it is wrong.
So? The world has lots of wrong. All of it is the result of sin, which believers are set free from. Death too.

Can't post much without your typical 'yer a liar' shtick, can you?

It is hard to do when the side that you are arguing against is constantly lying.

Once again there is a simple solution:

Tell The Truth.

It is the Christian thing to do.

dad, we are talking about real slavery. Not metaphoric slavery.

You failed. try again.


You have no evidence for this claim. Try again.

So? The world has lots of wrong. All of it is the result of sin, which believers are set free from. Death too.

We are talking about how the Bible failed in regard to real slavery. It is such a foul deed that even the Bible recognized it by calling people "slaves to sin" but you cannot find anywhere that the Bible is opposed to actual slavery.

Another epic fail brought to you by dad!

So was God. Nothing is more real that slavery to sin and death. The Son made us free. Society of old had employment called slavery. Many people who were so employed wanted to remain in the job even when they had a choice. In the US decades ago, many people wanted to leave the military, which they were forced to be in. Slavery is just a name that is selectively applied, usually by those unable or unwilling to admit they are not free.


We are talking about how the Bible failed in regard to real slavery.
Only the bible deals with real slavery.

It is such a foul deed that even the Bible recognized it by calling people "slaves to sin" but you cannot find anywhere that the Bible is opposed to actual slavery.
That is foul nonsense.


Obviously you seek to fight God's word and insult believers and Him. You don't care about truth or backing up your libelous charges and slander such as saying the bible says the earth is flat etc.

You failed again. Of course I am not surprised.

The subject was real slavery. Not metaphorical slavery. Slavery that is real whether god is real or not.

Your Bible is pro and not anti-slavery even though it recognizes it as a great evil. How hypocritical is that?

I see that you have your meal loaded up for the weekend.

I am more than happy to give you the Flat Earth verses. There is still the matter of you admitting you were wrong when I responded to your demand for stationary Earth claims and then you forgot that demand and totally messed up.

A simple apology on your part will get the ball rolling.

Is that your first course? It does not look to tasty to me.

The subject was real slavery, not metaphorical slavery. Your Bible is for it. I am against it.

Whose morals are better? If you say the Bible then you are in effect saying that you are pro-slavery.

You had your chance. You are here to sling stuff.

The verses you spammed were talking about when God reigns on earth. Now you must wear it.

Doubly wrong. The verses merely stated that the Earth was stationary. You could not justify your claim.

As usual you lost. You had to use your own errant interpretation of the Bible and that is not worth anything in a debate.

Wait, I take that back. It is always good for a few laughs but the joke is wearing thin.

You may consider your research to be extensive but it is really *very* limited in scope in that you only seem to be looking at research that agrees with you.

Good research (at least involving science) looks for things that can invalidate one's viewpoint. The idea is to try to show yourself wrong and when your idea holds up to many attempts to falsify it, then you may be onto something solid.

This is part of the fun of studying science, being shown wrong.

Wrong, my sources are pro-science. Your sources are not. That is why your sources are untrustworthy. Have you ever seen the pledge that people have to take to work at creationist sites? They have to promise to abandon the scientific method.
