• 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.

I voted NO because there were more votes for YES and because I'm an independent Baptist I tend to go against the majority slide!


:p

I can't believe how the voting is going

And in the light of all the scriptural evidence too!

Is anyone even awake durring Sunday School?

PG is a wily one!! He laid on us this secret code to see which we would pick!! But I am wilier! I broke the code.

1. There are 26 letters in the alphabet
2. Therefore each letter corresponds with a number
3. There are 3 divisions in the Bible (Book, Chapter, Verse)
4. Break down Yes and No into corresponding numbers and search out the result

Y- 25
E - 5
S - 19

Lamentations 5:19
Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

N - 14
O - 15

(since there is no verse code in NO we use the last number as a double deriviative "15th chapter, 15th verse)

2 Chronicles 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.


So now the YES or NO becomes

YES - Praise for the Almighty's eternal attributes and eternal reign

or

NO - Praise for the Almighty in being sought, found and a giver of rest



Still a tricky choice!!

It's clear to me. The answer is yes.
Why? Because yes is always a beginning and no is always an end. Since we don't know what's going on we can't be at the end before we even start. So, yes, let's begin.

Note: If the question is designed to make the positive answer into a negative result, simply switch to "no".

It's simple
