  • 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.

What would you do differently?

J
The only point i could go back in time to, is that i should have had a relationship with the only girl in highschool (2002-6) who had any attraction to me, back in 2005. i don't know what would have happened but it probably would have been good for me. instead i creep her out and scare her away because that's what my subconsciousness does with all women who are attracted to me.--for reasons i didn't figure out until 2020

i don't have any memories prior to 1996 but if i could go back prior to that point, i would try to convince my mind not to be afraid of a certain woman and its really not that big a deal that we had sex when i was 6 years old, and wiping my memory is not worth the trouble.

instead we ended up in a relationship again in 2012 and i still don't remember anything prior to 1996, and still don't. when she told me she knew me as a child (in 2013), i just thought to myself "she is lying to make up a reason as to how she even knows me"

I don't actually regret any of it, just wish i had started asking God what to do, much earlier in life.

Should Parents Vote on Behalf of Their Kids? J.D. Vance Isn’t the Only One Who Thinks So

Sword of the Lord said:
You might not like some of the "extremes" that come with JD Vance, but when the alternative is transgenderism, rampant homosexuality, indoctrination and mutilation of children and young adults, satanism, societal and moral decay, baby murder, assault on the Christian faith, election interference, open borders and on and on, I'll take the guy who pondered on giving children some say and who makes fun of purple haired feminist cat ladies. Oh no, he's so bad.

Breitbart: Pope Francis says turning away migrants is "grave sin"---but how many is he taking into Vatican City?

RileyG
Wolseley said:
Well, it's a complex issue. Realistically, there are really only so many migrants a nation can take on without completely collapsing the economy; if you have facilities that can handle, say, 500,000 immigrants, and provide them with food, water, housing, clothing, and some sort of employment, that's one thing. But when you have five million show up, what then?

Furthermore, it's like the article mentioned: some of these migrants come into a country like Italy (especially young women), and they find no support structure; ergo, they end up forced into prostitution to survive. How is that beneficial? The politicians could do something about it, I suppose, but they're too busy protecting the status quo.

Just opening your border and allowing people to flow in is a fine concept, I guess, but in a lot of ways, it ends up causing more problems than it solves. Of course, if nothing is done, then eventually dams break and you end up with something like Europe in the 4th century, and hordes of foreigners pour across border, and the established nations that provided for limited numbers of migrants cease to exist.

You're right. It's definitely much more complex than the media wants us to believe.

Making Acts of Reparation

Fatima Prayers of Reparation​

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in the most need of Thy mercy.

My God, I believe, I adore, I trust and I love Thee! I beg pardon for all those that do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love Thee.

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary I beg the conversion of poor sinners.

Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

O Jesus, it is for the love of Thee, in reparation for the offences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and for the conversion of poor sinners.

Amen to that. Finally, I was waiting for you to say that also. You are going into nursing, so hopefully, you can get a discount on therapy, if there is such a thing as a discount for medical employees or students.

You have made them a little lower than elohim

This raises so many questions. Why did Jesus defend His claim to be one with the Father by that text?
Click to expand...

Jesus used a common Hebrew logical argument. See The How-Much-More argument

KevinT said:
Does that mean that any mere man can claim to be god??

No, only some classes of people, like rulers and judges.

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me

I like Michael W. Smith. Wait, I remember hearing this song as a kid somewhere, on the Christian radio, either by Michael W. Smith or Lenny LeBlanc. It was released in 2003, so no wonder why I remember this one. A certified classic. :) Thank you for taking me back to my younger years. These worship ballads sometimes bring me to tears of joy for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Son of Man - Jesus Predicted by the Old Testament

O
theprinceofthisworld said:
Take a look at my avatar. It's a pic of S.Francis of Assisi's vision when he received the stigmata.
There's a cross with Jesus with wings like a seraph/cherub. An incredible vision.
The fact is that the son of man'd have to be the cherub, and I add the prince of this world(a future destined king, take a look at Rev 12, 5).
My opinion is that there're two people, Jesus and the Prince, where Jesus equals a real man to him on the Earth... Maybe there's something in the old testament about it.
Click to expand...
That is pretty cool, but how on God's green Earth does this relate to my OP though? No where does my OP contain the word "prince".

The prince of the air is Satan by the way, and we must avoid the prince of the air at all costs.

Good idea to avoid the American Idol show, cos some of the newer stuff might be not as wholesome compared to older music. In the past few years, it does seem that some pop songs have gotten darker, playing with dangerous themes.
