  • 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.

JPPT1974's Daily Devotions

JPPT1974's Black Friday Weekend Thoughts 2025:
How we need to be fed
On a spiritual basis and
Knowing we need to really
Grow in the Lord and in the
Realizing that our lives need to
Be filled with Bible reading, praying,
Going to church, and being with other
Fellow worshippers that love the Lord like we do.

The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

That doesn't seem to hold for gender identity and sex identity.
Sure it does.
Most people I know would see their gender identity as the socially constructed gender they have the strongest affinity for. And they would say that their sex are determined by which gametes they produce
That's what they have been taught to believe and they just believe without thinking it through.

There is no such thing as a socially constructed gender. There are some socially constructed cultural sex norms for the sex you were born as.

Some things for biological women and some things for biological men.
Perhaps you can loosen the definition of sex to encompass everything, but that leads to a loss of specificity.
No it doesn't. Because if they are the same thing then all things apply to both. And they are the same thing and so all things apply to both.

The gender crowd wants there to be a difference so transgender people can be biologically male on the outside but female on the inside amd accept them as NOT mentally ill. Thats really the bottom line for it all.

The gender argument falls flat on its face when you realize that when you use the word gender for anything, you can also use the word sex and it doesn't change anything. Its because its the same thing.

The earth is at rest. When it is
moved, it is a catastrophic event.


Psa 60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou
hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it
shaketh.
Psa 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped
at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved
at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
2Sa 22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the
foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he
was wroth.
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the
sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and
the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood.
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she
is shaken of a mighty wind.

Trump terminates orders signed by Autopen during Biden administration

So, unless the pardon has restrictions attached to it, once it's issued it's permanent. But what I think Trump is attempting to do is say they were never valid in the first place. There is absolutely no legal precedence to retroactively voiding the actions of a President due to alleged incapacity, but that's true of many things this administration is trying.
He'll just have the DOJ throw anyone into the slammer that he pleases and there's nothing you can do about it.

What would have happened to Adam and Eve and Cain after death?

That is a good question.

What do you think of Jesus; words here... Matthew 12:41, 42; Luke 10:13-15; Luke 11:31, 32
I wasn't sure but this is what copilot said:
These passages emphasize that on Judgment Day, Jesus will be the ultimate judge, and past examples of repentance (Nineveh, Queen of Sheba) or rejection (Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum) will stand as witnesses against those who refuse to recognize him. They highlight that Jesus is greater than Jonah and Solomon, and that failure to repent in his presence carries heavier consequences than past generations faced.

Trump terminates orders signed by Autopen during Biden administration

I would ask if one can seriously un-pardon people, but Trump can do anything and nobody will stop him.
