  • 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.

    Now ask them about a flying scroll that has a message on it regarding thieves and those who speak falsely; ask them to explain how that is like a nuclear missile. They'll either say that it isn't, and/or tell you to stop talking nonsense. You're not a prophet. You were wrong in 2012. Yes...

    I believe you're wrong. It seems you're the only one who can "see it". So I'll leave you to believe that you will be in the Holy Land at the age of 120 - I hope you enjoy it. Of course, it's entirely possible that things won't happen as you expect them to - just as happened in 2012. But that's...

    Which is why I didn't say it! I'm talking about context, and have been all along. I'm talking about reading verses/passages in their immediate setting, asking who they were written for, the circumstances at the time and what those who heard the words would have understood by them. I'm talking...

    Yes, it's a shame that the context spoils her interpretation of the verse.

    I know you're not - you're only quoting the bit of the verse which suits you and fits with your belief. What I was asking was, WHY aren't you quoting the rest of the verse? I guess the answer is because it doesn't fit with your beliefs.

    Rubbish. It is you who is reading the verse wrongly - and you're only quoting half of it anyway? What about the other half, about the earth standing out like a garment? Oh, but of course you can't try to persuade us that a garment is round - best leave that bit out then, as it ruins your "case".

    He does not; why don't you read it? "LIKE clay under a seal." It does NOT say, "the earth is round because it the Lord stamped it in clay using a round seal." You have found pictures of round seals; what happens if the seal is some other shape? Job did not produce a picture of a round seal...

    And he is correct. It is you who has said , "Job said that the earth is like an image taking shape under clay. Here is a picture of a round seal which has produced a round image. Therefore, Job does mention the shape of the earth; he says the shape of the earth is round." Read it again. Where...

    :doh: What was that you were saying about poetic language? Does the sea have literal doors, or did it burst out of a womb? Job 38:8? If verse 8 is not literal, what reason have you got for insisting that verse 14 is? Oh, I know; it fits your beliefs.

    BUSTED - 12 False theories refuted:

    No, they're not invalid. The scroll and the basket in Zechariah 5 are two different things. They probably are different in the Hebrew too, otherwise translators would not translate them differently. The scroll was flying and had a message on both sides. The angel explained what it meant - a...

    How many times do you need to be told that the words AS and LIKE are similes; they are comparing something to something else? E.g "the clouds were like cotton wool". It doesn't mean that the clouds literally are cotton wool. Job says that the earth takes shape LIKE clay under a seal - and by...
