  • 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 have things to do, speak to ya all later :) :wave:
So let me try to understand this.

Eratosthenes of Egypt proved the earth was a globe in around 200 B.C.

Copernicus and Newton proved the earth is a globe going around the sun.

There is a very long list of astronomers have shown the earth is a globe.

Columbus knew the earth was a globe, but he was wrong about the distances.

A few dozen space agencies have shown that earth is a globe.

Christian astronauts have seen the globe of the earth.

Space probes, like Voyager, have taken pictures of the globe of the earth.

Satellites prove the earth is a globe.

The Southern Cross proves the earth is a globe.

The apex of the “dome” of the atmosphere proves the earth is a globe.

Students of several schools sent up balloons that show the curvature of the earth.

Surveyors can show the curvature of the earth.

Radio operators can show that the earth is a globe.

Airplanes like the Blackbird took photos of the curvature of the earth.

The length of voyage of a cruise ship proves the flat earth map is wrong.

However, I am supposed to believe Rob Skiba. (I watch some of his video.) His refractive arguments don’t help his case.

I’m sorry he died young, but I don’t believe him.

It is not like the discussions of evolution and creationism, where both sides have legitimate arguments and you are dealing with theories with limited scientific proof on both sides. The earth being a globe is something we can see and prove in the present with actual measurements.

Release from Epstein files

But that would be weaponizing the DOJ for political purposes. That's more a Trump thing, despite all his 'three fingers pointing back' talk.
Why? If he was involved why would Biden hold back on a pedophile. What would be political about that? Isn't that your guys arguments all the time about how prosecuting Trump for crimes isnt political?

The DOJ sure wasn't concerned about that when they raided Mara Lago.

The litte girl asks Buzz 'why haven't we been back to the moon' & Buzz answers 'Because we did't go there.'

Question: "Why haven't we been back to the moon in such a long time?"
Answer: "Because we didn't go there." CONTEXT being for that very long time

You only see what you want to see and it blinds you to the truth.

We've been through all this on the moon thread.
I don't remember seeing any explanation from you on any thread about why NASA would stop Charles Duke from saying that he hadn't really been to the moon, as you maintain, yet allow Buzz Aldrin to say that very thing.

So why, in your view, was Buzz Aldrin not punished by NASA? Before, when talking about why Christian astronauts, according to you, lie and say they have been to the moon, you have said that NASA made them sign some document in which they had to agree never to reveal the supposed secret that the moon landings were faked. Now you are saying that Buzz Aldrin publicly said that he had never been to the moon. Do NASA have one rule for Buzz Aldrin, and another for Christian astronauts like Charles Duke?

What's on your mind? Friendship Court edition.

I learned to write from doing all those papers in college! And God has also helped me! I'm a perfectionist and sometimes I experience a fear of coming up with something better later after I've posted.
My life's dilemma.. or worse, I read it later just to find out is doesn't read nearly as well as I would like and I want to take everything down. lol

I envy those people that just churn out material like a printing press running on diesel and never have a second thought. Lately have not had time to deal with the indecision and "pushing through" the contemplations.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

Yes so I was right that the base blocks on the pyramid were molded. I had people on your side claiming I was creating conspiracies for suggesting such ideas and there was no evidence. That you for confirming I was right all along.

Yes the limestone used in the moulded blocks comes from the Tura quarry. But its been crushed or broken down and reconstituted with some polymer or something like cement. Except it seems to dry naturally like its stone.
All you have confirmed is an inability to read and comprehend.

I've seen the video and I told you at the time what he said and what the context was.
Elsewhere in the video they were talking about going BACK to the moon. You can't go back to somewhere if you've never been there at all.

I'm in denial because it's unpleasantly not true.
You can't be in denial that it's NOT true.
Either it's true and deep down, you know, or suspect, it but don't want to think about/acknowledge it - you are in denial.
Or it's not true - in which case there's nothing to deny.
Am I in denial that my parents were French? No, because they weren't and it can be proved.

Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

Typical of how you and others insist on a Jewish redemption. Something never said to happen in scripture.
You claim that the church is Israel. But Paul said that Israel has been blinded until the fulness of the Gentiles comes in.

keras, the church is not blinded to the gospel of salvation in Christ. So your identification of Israel is incorrect.

The bible does speak about the Jews turning to Jesus. Romans 11:25 indicates that the Jews (Israel) has been blinded in regards to the gospel of salvation in Christ. But once the fulness of the Gentiles has come in, that the Jews will be saved, i.e. turn to Jesus and the gospel of salvation in Romans 11:26.

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Can not being in the correct denomination cause someone to not be saved?

Denominations don't save, Christ does.

John 16:13 Jesus said the Holy Spirit will guide you into all Truth.

And Jesus said "The truth will set you free"

But just as the disciples of Jesus had been given some bad ideas in the context of their Jewish church, so today tradition is everywhere.

Read 2 Thess 2:1-12 and tell me if you think knowing the truth matters at the end , according to Paul.

Read Matt 24:24 is Christ giving warning and then adding "I have told you in advance", so that we would not be deceived at the end.
Spot on brother! Well said.
Do not fear JohnB445, simply seek Christ. Read the shorter books in the New Testament first for faster clarity.

Crash Course:
John 14:6 (Jesus is the way to the Father)
John 17:3 (Knowing Christ is Salvation / Eternal life - The Word Of God - John 1:1)
John 6:37 (Will not cast away)
Luke 7:47 (Forgiven much loves much!)
1 Timothy 1:5 (Love is purpose)
Matthew 22:37-40 (God's law is law of love)
Romans 10:13 (All who call on Jesus Christ the Lord)
1 John 4:17 (Confident on judgment day - Reference 1 John 4:8 - God is love / Christ is love)
Ephesians 2:8 & Ephesians 2:9 (Free gift - Gift never earned)
John 6:29 (Work of God is Believe on Christ)
1 Corinthians 13:2 (Nothing without love!)
Luke 12:32 (Do not fear)
John 8:11 (Christ's heart is forgiveness - Reference Luke 23:34)
John 4:14 (No thirst - Overfilled with God's love and onto others)
John 15:13 (God's heart in every situation - Christ on the cross - God loves us most)
John 3:14 (How this works - OT Reference example)
John 3:16 (God loved us all so much - Reference Romans 8:32)
John 3:17 (Did not come to condemn! - Reference Romans 8:1)

Reading the Word (Jesus / Bible), is spending time with Christ (John 1:1), spending time with Christ is knowing Christ more, knowing Christ is Eternal Life and Salvation (John 17:3) and knowing you are loved, knowing you are loved fills you with the love of God that pours out onto others (John 4:14) and being love and forgiveness as Christ was (Luke 23:34) in the world gives us confidence on judgment day (1 John 4:17).

He did not, he blatantly said, 'Because we never went there.' I can show the video again if you want.
