  • 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.

Giant landlord Greystar settles with California for colluding on rents in Los Angeles and elsewhere

The lawsuit alleges Greystar and other landlords were illegally using RealPage to share proprietary data so they could align their prices and drive up rents.

RealPage described its software as a tool for maximizing rent and outperforming the market. Authorities also alleged the company made it more difficult for landlords to reject its recommendations than accept them.

“There is greater good in everybody [i.e. the landlords] succeeding versus essentially trying to compete against one another in a way that actually keeps the entire industry [i.e. rents] down,” a RealPage executive said, according to the lawsuit.

More on the larger DOJ/states' antitrust complaint against RealPage.

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

When are you going to address the biblical arguments re Ephesians 2:11-19?
When are you going to address the other 4 questions?
I don't wish to spend any more to this discussion. I have several other discussions going on elsewhere.

WHY HYDOR IS NO LONGR NEEDED. ??

You have taken this verse completely out of context. Acts 19:5 and 1 Corinthians 114-16 Paul did baptize people, not in his name, but in the name of Christ, who commanded that his followers be baptized, Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 1 Peter 3:21 Acts 16:33 Romans 6:3-4 Galatians 3:27 Colossians 2:12 1 Corinthians 12:13 You will not find any scripture that says baptism is no longer required but just the opposite.

the myth of flat earth debunked again

Eastern Rome didn’t fall. It moved to Moscow. Everyone knows that.

But it didn't. The Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453, and the Tsardom of Russia didn't begin until a full century AFTER the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire.

I don’t think you have a clue what your talking about.

More than you, but tell me: how exactly can the Volga Tatars, the Siberian Tatars, the Crimean Tatars, the Lipka, Astrakhan Tatars, and their ilk be considered the 'heirs of Rome'?

No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

He did not pick and choose.
Yes He did, He chooses who He causes to approach unto Him psalm 65:4

4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

I mean, if you want to continue the claim that the Spanish Empire was the legitimate successor of the Roman Empire as they liked to pretend, then sure.

But the Roman Empire? Western Empire in 476 AD and the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453 AD.

The Spanish empire was the Habsburgs.

Trump plan for peace in Ukraine leaked; calls for Ukraine to cede additional territory, cut military forces. US Ukraine envoy to leave role

Yaroslav Trofimov, chief foreign affairs correspondent of the Wall Street Journal, posted: “Foreign nations now have to deal with rival factions of the U.S. government who keep major policy initiatives secret from each other and some of which work with foreign powers as the succession battle for 2028 begins, is how one diplomat put it.”

One of the lesser known features of authoritarian governments is the fracturing of the government into several factions that compete with each other so they don't threaten the leader.

One of the main reasons those governments are so inefficient.

And it's funny how, especially when the topic is brought up for using boats and long distances, that the vanishing point perfectly lines up with the horizon... Curious...
It doesn’t. I just showed you a video where things vanish already at 9 miles.
