  • 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.

Here’s how the first proteins might have assembled, sparking life

That might be true if it were the case the God "saying so" were so obvious and unmistakable that no one could hardly doubt it.
'Selah' - think/dwell on this....
What The Creator of all life says is usually ignored everywhere including forums, media, internet, newspapers, scientific papers, studies, classes, by groups and religions and scientists and reporters and students and teachers and religious leaders worldwide, eh ?

Please don't waste your time or mine by quoting articles about the article. That's down to the media, not the scientists.
Almost every day it seems that any time spent on the internet (including forums) is wasted time .

Newsome pushed back against Democracy to achieve his political goals

It's not his fight - unless he is running for office.
lol. It’s much more his fight than it is yours. You don’t even live here. How about you worry about Oklahoma and leave California issues for California voters to resolve? Just a suggestion.

We Don’t Need Gun Control, We Need To Classify Gender Dysphoria As A Mental Illness Again

If only this latest shooter had gone to schools that included prayer and religious instruction as a part of the school day earlier in life. Oh, wait…
Then what changed? It's harder for a US citizen to buy a firearm than it's ever been, so why are such incidents more frequent now than 60+ years ago?

In this vein, how can a three-dimensional space be "rolled together as a scroll," unless there is a fourth dimension to roll it into?
Has a fourth dimension been proven impossible or otherwise ruled out by someone somewhere ?

I can unequivocally state that for me personally - if the Governor of California was Republican and doing the very same thing - I would be against it also
As a California resident, I have to ask why you would even care? You don’t live here. I doubt you even want to visit the state.

So why is this such a big deal for you?

Democrat Appellate Judge overturns half billion dollar fine

No it isn't. She SPECIFICALLY said she was going to get TRUMP...not criminals in general. Dems thought they could stop Trump from running and getting elected...they were dead wrong.
That changes what I said in what way? Nothing that I can see. If she believes him to be guilty why would she not state she was going after him? How is that wrong? Spell it out for me.

When God does show His hand that he was the Creator of life to scientist (and it is beyond a shadow of a doubt that He started it all), will they allow Him to be included in the "domain of scientific methods/understandings"?
Never. No. Not at all.

What does the God of the creation think about homosexuality?

In light of the fact that homosexuals are often mistreated, I can't help but wonder if early commands against it have more to do with protecting them from said mistreatment. Shielding them from harm. Much suffering might be avoided by remaining celibate or acting straight. On the other hand, there are Christians who seemingly go out of their way to make LGBTQ+ people suffer, which makes it look like Christians are part of the problem. They mostly seem like hypocrites to me because Jesus said we should love or neighbors as we love ourselves. Gay people are counted among our neighbors. At the very least, we could mind our own business.

That said, I don't usually consider it any of my business. I don't experience same sex attraction myself, but I also don't like it when people are harassed or bullied. That part bothers me quite a bit. Especially, when done in the name of Jesus, who I'm reasonably confident would not partake in the bullying.

Last I checked, Christianity isn't a religion of public stonings or other such things. That ended with Christ. We are not under Levitical law. It's about the individual's personal relationship with God. If somebody reads God's word and feels convicted by the holy spirit that being gay is wrong, the change comes from within. A place that they must arrive at of their own free will for it to be meaningful.
We are called not to fellowship with those who are known sinners who refuse to repent.

Are you unable to find any examples where scientists, not the media, have inflated the importance of their research?
It happens so often, but there's no good reason to even try to keep track or it or to expose it , is there? No body cares and until it's proven that's what happened, it opens up the ones bringing it out into the light to lawsuits, hostile stairs, and banning.... etc

These videos again are for the less fortunate who feel they don't always trust the long winded responses of many scientists when they claim some breakthrough has been made in a particular field of science when in actuality that wasn't the case.
Here’s the issue. You don’t know how to verify what scientists say.

What he is doing is responding to what Texas did first and offering the people of California a choice to accept the proposal in a way that the Gov/Legislature of Texas did not offer to the people of Texas.
No wonder they’re avoiding the question.

What does the God of the creation think about homosexuality?

And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonite. And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. (I Kings 14:21-24)

There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. (Deuteronomy 23:17)

Note an alternative translation of these passages:

"Now Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. Judah did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; they provoked him to jealousy with their sins that they committed, more than all that their ancestors had done. For they also built for themselves high places, pillars, and sacred poles on every high hill and under every green tree; there were also illicit priests in the land. They committed all the abominations of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the people of Israel." [I Kings 14:21-24, NRSV]

“None of the daughters of Israel shall serve in an illicit shrine; none of the sons of Israel shall serve in an illicit shrine. You shall not bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow, for both of these are abhorrent to the Lord your God." [Deuteronomy 23:17-18 NRSV]

Therefore Israelites (which are also considered Negroes, African Americans, blacks so on and so forth) that were removed from their land and brought to the northern hemisphere in the hulls of ships and who were sold into slavery do not have a chance!

Where on earth is this coming from?

And you continue, rather rudely, to refuse to provide an instance - with proper citations - where this is the case.
To me that's not something rude, just observations of possible truth without couching it in some way to make it less painful for the deluded. or to say another way - straight up honesty ! Blunt Honesty.
