  • 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.

Democrats finally vote to open Government

In other words, today's rhetoric is basically a "Ha ha we fooled you" admission "mea culpa" for those who got snookered into believing "hey this shutdown is the fault of Republicans, it is a Republican shutdown no matter that all Republican Senators vote to open the government".

Lesson for all, try not to be so easily snookered.
The shut down was just as much Republicans as Democrats. Neither would vote for the other's bill.

He’s a citizen with a Real ID. ICE detained him anyway. Twice.

do for entering homes and businesses.
IF they are blowing off the doors of homes, they had better have a warrant.
Just like I said. When they need a warrant they are obtaining one.
Is being Hispanic give ICE reasonable suspicion to believe they are illegals?
Yes, if they are in areas where illegals are known to be. And of course sanctuary cities would he hot beds of illegals. If you raid a place with illegals then anyone matching the profiles of the illegals are going to be looked at.

This is rhe consequences of allowing 20 million illegals lose in the country.

Trump Posts DOGE News: President Obama's Millions in Obamacare Royalties have been cut off, according to The Dunning Kruger Times

Donald Trump—a man with access to the best, most accurate information on basically any subject—posted to Truth Social a screenshot claiming that “DOGE halts yearly payments of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for ‘royalties linked to Obamacare.’ Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars.”

Apparently you can do a Tort claim.

Thanks. Just a quick cursory google search shows that there are quite a few active lawsuits out there.

The auto-pen scandal is going to be massive

I know Hamas is murdering people they think cooperated with Israel and Israel has made some strikes on Hamas but it's the closest they have come to ending the conflict yet
So it's not ended. We agree on that. And we are to pat Trump on the back for bringing an abrupt end to the war. Well, when I say abrupt, there have been close to 100,000 men, women and children killed and they'll still be digging the corpses out of the rubble for some time now. Perhaps we can have a parade for Trump when they dig the last kid out.

Will Russiagate scandal forever taint Obama’s legacy?

Yes, Mueller took down a lot of criminal associates of Trump, including his campaign manager, his national security advisor, his lawyer and about a dozen others. Trump pardoned most of them, of course, for reasons that are obvious. But they are still criminals.

The Mueller investigation was the weaponization and lawfare of the justice systems.
Juries disagreed with you. So did many of the perps, who took plea deals. No point in denial. There was widespread collusion; even Trump's National Security Advisor lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russian agents. Over a dozen people caught during the investigation. It is one of the worst scandals in American history.

Trump proposes 50-year mortgage

Bonus tip: If you get paid bi-weekly, split your mortgage payment in half and pay half every other week. This will results in 26 half payments, or 13 full payments, meaning that you will make one full extra payment toward your principal each year. In my case, it will result in me paying off my 30-year mortgage in 22 years.
Or better yet, pay the minimum on the mortgage and invest the difference. You'll come out ahead in the end.

The auto-pen scandal is going to be massive

Why? Because of the funny sounding Arabic name? No, it's because you've obviously read a lot of what they report and have compared it to other outlets for political and religious bias. Yeah, sure. And by the way, it's not Aljazeera.

So maybe check it out with Thenewyorkpost. But you do know it's happening, right?

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

Exactly. God has made irrevocable promises to Israel, which make no sense when people try applying them to the church or ignore altogether. I think it’s very important for Christians to rightly divide the scriptures and understand that there are three groups of people; Jews (Israel), Gentiles (non-Jews), and the church (born again believers-Jews and Gentiles).

“After the Cross a new entity came into existence—the church that Jesus Christ promised He would build (Mt 16:18). As a result, there are now three divisions of mankind: Jews, Gentiles and the church. Paul tells us that we are to “Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God” (1 Cor 10:32). It is absolutely essential to understand that these three groups exist side by side in today’s world, to distinguish between them, and to recognize that God deals with each differently.”

I think you need to ponder on just what it is your calling "the church."

Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

I
t would seem that you are replacing the church with Israel.

The Final Experiment (Flat Earth Bites The Dust)

It should never be above the horizon if the earth is horizontal with the sun, what they should have seen is the sun at the horizon line the whole time, but what is seen is the sun above them the whole time. From their perspective the sun should be below them on the globe earth model.
They don't see the sun "above" them. The sun appears to rotate around them, ranging from low on the horizon to high. They see this over the entirety of Antarctica during Summer, which your diagram fails to explain.

Fake IDs are a thing...

So merely showing what appears to be a REAL-ID compliant driver's license isn't always good enough.

For what it's worth, --as of 2024 Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico lead the nation in the highest concentration of fake IDs and fake identity documents in circulation.
(even ones that will pass a barcode scan test)

The real ID program is the baby of the department of Homeland Security so their agents should know what a real ID actually looks like and the special elements that they are supposed to have. If not maybe they could hire a few bartenders to help them out. ;)
