  • 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.

Fear, pain and hunger: The dire impact of shutting down USAID in Africa, leaving a vacuum for China and Russia

Just like how are doctor must have no empathy when they tell their patient that they need to make lifestyle changes lest it kills them.
No, that's not a lack of empathy!
No, you don't got it. And I'm completely wasting my time trying to explain it to you.

Another look at the moon landing.

Where in scripture does it mention the earth being a ball ?
Nowhere, and nowhere in Scripture does it mention the earth being a flat disc. (And pleased don't quote the verse from Isaiah that mentions God sitting above the circle/circuit of the earth, because that verse does not say that the earth is a circular disc.)

If you say something that hurts another then either:
a) you know it's going to hurt them
b) you don't care if it hurts them
c) you don't know that it hurts them

C is an example of a lack of empathy. It has nothing to do with what you think you might say. Examples of a, b and c are found all too frequently in this forum. C will at least give you an excuse.
D. You know that it will hurt their feelings but you are saying it because their survival is more important. Just like how a doctor tells their patient that they need to make lifestyle changes lest it kills them. Got it.

Democrat Jay Jones text scandal

We are done talking. I understand fully where you stand. You will support, defend, excuse, and dismiss threats of violence against not only political opponents, but their innocent children. You are obviously part of the 24% that so many liberals on these forums have so desperately tried to distance themselve from.

Evidence? Just saying that MSM is full of fairy tales is a baseless statement. Besides, the moon landings, especially the first one in 1969, were broadcast not only by MSM, but by broadcasters all around the world, including the BBC.

And it was the biggest lie of all time.

Another look at the moon landing.

They were not on the dark side of the moon, but on the side facing the sun.

Michael Collins who was orbiting the moon should have seen the stars but as Patrick More asked him at the conference 'did you see the stars' Collins answered 'I don't remember seeing any stars.'

No, I agreed with you. I wasn't being sarcastic.
Very well. I understand your point, and I think we are in agreement. Now if @MotoToTheMax can see it,that would be great. I understand that his rhetoric is not a reflection of yours.

Men now surpass women in church attendance, especially among Gen X, millennials: Barna

And here one would think that if following Jesus and the will of the Father is about servitude, females would fit right in, having lived that life since the beginning.
Except they have not been for some time now and society is beginning to adapt to that change.

Not sure what you mean by "if space rockets are wrong'. Space rockets just simply are launched up and into the sky where they fly for 100"s to 1000's of miles then come back down or crash back down.
What I was referring to was the fact that Apple Sky had said something about it being wrong for man to go up in a space rocket.

"Under Title X of the US Code, the President has plenary authority..."

The only reason why deportation is more prolific now is because the Biden administration let so many extra millions enter illegally.
Kamala was working south of the border on the push factors that compel people to leave.

She was lowering the rates!

This wasn't a hobby horse of the Clinton or Obama administration, both of which were strong on border security, illegal immigration and deportation.

Interesting. I did not realise that. I was younger - and not that interested in American politics back then. (Not since it became threatened by electing someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder who threatens American democracy!)

Also interesting - that if someone were concerned about 'illegals' - they should have voted Democrat from historical knowledge!

How many people were deported under Trump and Obama?

During Trump’s term in office, approximately 1.2 million people were deported through removal orders. A further 805,770 were self-deported or turned away at the border between fiscal years 2017 and 2020.​
Immigration orders during the Trump-era were lower than either of Obama’s terms. Approximately 1.57 million and 1.49 million immigrants were removed in the fiscal years of Obama’s first and second presidencies respectively.​
In fact, Obama oversaw more deportations than any other U.S. president in history.​

But the same article shows your assertions about Biden to be wrong.​

This mess is a result of new radical left policies that are the real danger. The big threat Trump poses is putting an end to it.
My question is - why the urgency? They work hard, contribute more to the GPD than they take in welfare, and have MUCH lower crime rates than American born citizens. Doesn't America have a debt crisis? Why waste all this money exporting GOLD?

To return illegal migrants back to their home country, a single full flight of migrants can cost $250,000, according to ICE. At the very least, deportations by ICE cost taxpayers $10,854 each, according to 2016 figures from CNN.​
A report from the American Immigration Council estimated the one-time cost of deporting all immigrants without legal status at at least $315 billion.​
A more long-term plan involving the deportation of one million people a year would cost an average of $88 billion annually, according to the report, to a total of $968 billion overall.​

Why so serious?

I couldn’t find anything remotely similar from the Office.

But I could when I looked here: Psalm 137:9.
Study your hermenutics. That was Psalm of lament. In other words, it was the Psamlist voicing his anger towards God. Not God's divine commandment. In other words, the Psalmist was telling God this is what he would like to see. Not what God actually desired.

Another look at the moon landing.

This is not what the Bible says. The 7 stars are wandering & are the fallen angels who did not keep their first estate.

King James Bible
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

King James Bible
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.



So Saturn is 800 million miles away, how to you get to this figure ?
The verse you quoted from Jude needs to be taken in context. Here it is together with the previous verse:

“12 These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” (Jude 1:12-13 NKJV)

Spots in love feasts, clouds without water, twice dead trees, and wandering stars are all picture language. Besides, it says "while they feast with you" which suggests that Jude is referring back to the certain men who had crept in unawares that he mentioned in verse 4.

As an AG? People applying to become a simple police officer would be disqualified for far less. Face it, he was one of the 24% of liberals would rejoice after seeing conservatives murdered in cold blood. And you think he is still qualified to be the chief law enforcement officer of a state? You have got to be kidding.
No, I agreed with you. I wasn't being sarcastic.

She was implying that Christians are lack empathy if they refuse to make compromises to accommodate another's sinful lifestyles. Jesus never done such a thing. Therefore, one must conclude that Jesus lacked empathy.
If you say something that hurts another then either:
a) you know it's going to hurt them
b) you don't care if it hurts them
c) you don't know that it hurts them

C is an example of a lack of empathy. It has nothing to do with what you think you might say. Examples of a, b and c are found all too frequently in this forum. C will at least give you an excuse.

It's a very inappropriate joke, but disqualify him just for that?

...

Okay, sure.
