You can take this fellows statements with a large grain of salt.Unfortunately antifa has aligned and intergrated itself into the policies of the left. .... Veteran journalist flips script on media 'running cover' for Antifa violence: 'Anarchist communism'
Andy Ngo was one of the most prominent journalists covering Antifa violence in 2020
....
Ngo’s family history living under communism is relevant in the conversation today regarding Antifa, the Portland-born journalist told Fox Digital, given the underlying communist beliefs espoused by radical left movements in the United States today..
"For a century now, communists and anarchists, particularly in Europe, have engaged in violent acts that have sparked revolutions and the Antifa today look to those historical examples in the acts of violence they carry out," Ngo said, adding that many "normal" and mainstream liberals in the country are confused by the "deception and misinformation" in the media regarding Antifa.
"If you read the mainstream, one can leave with the impression that these are people who are opposed just to fascism and racism. So why not come on board with that, right?" Ngo explained. "When really the ideology is anarchist communism and violent anarchist-communism a lot of them engage in violence for the purpose of nihilistic violence. They want to see things burnt down. Their own slogan has become ungovernable. So if you care about democracy, liberal democracy in institutions, civil rights…you should not. You cannot be anywhere on the side of advocating or running cover for these so-called Antifa." Veteran journalist flips script on media 'running cover' for Antifa violence: 'Anarchist communism'
Egads.I'm glad you like the poster and have respect for them - it has zero to do with my question.
Neither are common terms - and neither have anything to do with either my question or the subject of the thread.
Which would be:
theologoumenon
Which is: : a theological statement or concept in the area of individual opinion rather than of authoritative doctrine
Which is a contradiction of the definition you said you followed.
Which again has zero to do with the topic of the thread - or my inquiry.
I'm not interested (in this thread) in information on anything other than the topic of the thread - which you still have not addressed.
Congratulations - again - what does any of that have to do with the two questions I asked, or the topic of the thread?
While I offer congratulations on your education and piety - 95% of what you have posted has anything to do with the topic of the thread. I appreciate your insight - I just wish you would give it on the subject rather than pontificating on things not germane to the topic.
You subsequently posted the formal definition, of which there's no disagreement as far as I can see.Please indulge me -
Doesn't theolougoumemnon mean something that cannot be supported by Holy Scripture?
Yet you have said that the Liturgist contradicts that formal definition in his repsonse.Which would be:
theologoumenon
Which is: : a theological statement or concept in the area of individual opinion rather than of authoritative doctrine
I'm talking about if the market place decriminates against a particular religious belief. Should they say something. If say the government refuses funding for say a anti abortion clinic. If the government refuses funding because they disagree with the policy of promoting anti abortion. If abortion is allowed then both should be given equal funding and treatment.
But it seems that pro abortion is the norm and anti abortion is seen as hateful and attacked as a belief in society. Or even if the anti abortion clinic funds itself but is descriminated against such as not having their services recognised and promoted like proabortion. Say in schools.
I am a bit lost. Whats spiritual energy and government grants got to do with each other.
You would be amazed at how people come together and are willing to sacrifice their time and money for that matter. At the homeless hud we have music concerts to raise money and benfactors, local businesses, and individuals donating.
I reckon if all Christians sacrificed like this we would set the exact opposite example of the bad examples the church set in the past and that I thionk is the level of commitment now needed to make a statement about God today. To make peoples heads turn. Anything less is just like the world.
I don't know, its just what I have heard. That church attenences have deminished and churches have become more secular. Its only natural as society has become more secular.
Yes and thats why Christians have to help each other so they are less reliant on the world. Create their own little world within the world. Insulate the church from the world as much as possible.
Well your calling is putting God first.
You'd be surprised when people start sacrificing for a good cause others do. I think its really hard today as we are so use to material things. I think in some ways when people become poor like in poor nations or those under oppression where the cannot practice Christianity they become bolder. They are tested and can achieve amazing things with nothing. Somehow God will provide and find a way.
Heres the thing. I think there will come a time where Christians will have to make a choice between the world and Christ. If the world is the anti Christ then it will hate Christians and Christians will be forced to either go along or stand with Christ. I think this is the sorting of the wheat and chaff.
I think whenever there is great suffering or falling away from God that God provides just as great a sign that He is there and can help. Whether that be like groups volunteering to help the elderly as a church or bold Christians reminding people of the gospel when all else has failed. The greater the setback the greater is God.
But it won't be until those with will face having nothing that they will give all to God. This is our fallen nature. I am lucky I learned the hard way lol. That I had all and then nothing.
Yes all are capable of loving our neighbours. I think its more about who you make God. God of this world or the one true God. In that sense you may have money or things but they are not your gods. Though its a tricky line to walk as its so easy to make money your god. Christ said its hard for a rich man to enter heaven. What is rich. Is it enough that money and things are more important that God.
So touchy on simple disagreement.
Also, contradicting comments made by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins that the U.S. farm workforce will become “100 percent American” as a result of mass deportations, the Labor Department noted that Americans are not willing to step into farm work and lack the skills to fill agricultural jobs that undocumented immigrants are abandoning.
What, that we are to speak truth at all times? That we are our brother's keeper?
Please answer the question I asked.
Are Palestinians of equal value as Israelis?
Are Muslims of equal value as Jews (and Christians)?
