  • 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.

A Christian response to "No Kings."

Don't get me wrong; everyone should do what they're led to do, because The Spirit doesn't lead everyone to do the same thing. But the Spirit never leads us to slander others whether they're protesting in the streets or standing on the sidelines.
So you acknowledge the “Spirit” is not involved in the “ no kings” protests!

Israel-Hamas Thread II

Good, the UN is an anti-semetic organization.
You sound like Netanyahu. They called Australia and Canada in the UK and France anti-Semitic. People supporting the war crimes of Militant Zionism need to come up with a new term, or anti-semitic is going to become meaningless. It will become a cliche that just means anyone who doesn't support Israel's right to mass murder and more crimes and starving a population out.

Didn't happen
It did.
Have you ever studied at the type of bombs they used? The explosive range? I have. There's no way some of those bombs were instruments of precision targeting.

If they did it was to take out Hamas. You know Hamas had tunnels and houses everywhere right? Not just where the fighting was happening at the moment?
I guess that means you can't use soldiers. May as well just nuke the entire area!

They never said that.

Netanyahu himself said it quite publicly around late September. I'm on my phone it's a bit awkward to look up the links for you, in fact because you're the one making this weird assertion you should go have a look yourself.

T.his is true to decades of Israeli policy and statements and any Israeli prime minister that says otherwise seems to be assassinated!
You know who fault this war was? Hamas.
You know who blockaded Gaza for decades and decades against international law? You know it's sociology 101 that if you come in and steal someone's land against international law, and surround them with walls and turn their hometowns into open air prisons, and restrict their trade and travel, and treat them like criminals, and generally behave terribly to them and restrict their economy and even access to reliable electricity - that eventually you're going to face disorder or even a rebellion.

I know the French resistance never did anything as abhorrent as the Hamas attack on innocent Israeli youth at a music festival. Even the French resistance tried to target mainly German military targets.

But make no mistake. Israel have occupied both of these lands against international law for over half a century. The United nations divided up the Middle East in 1947 and gave the Jewish third of the population over half the land. I'm surprisingly Arabs committed some acts of civil disorder. This ended up becoming the 1948 Arab Israeli war in which Israel took even more land than was allocated to them.

A few wars later and we are in the current situation where the Palestinians don't have any of their own land because Israel occupy it all. And continue to settle on it against previous peace agreements and against the Oslo according against international law!

There are over half a million Jewish settlers in the West bank, and it is so occupied that a map of it looks like Swiss cheese, and the little holes are the Palestinian ghettos that Israel have oh so graciously left them. Except keep kicking them out, sometimes murdering inhabitants of homes they want. Meanwhile the western well turns a blind eye because American evangelicals seem to have such a thing for Israel.

Ghettoization becomes concentration in the world's two largest jails, Gaza and the West bank.

The horrible irony is that the very people who fled the ghettos and camps of Nazi Germany are now inflicting many of the same tactics on another people.

But because Israel have the backing of American evangelicals (with all these weird end timetables they want to see happen in the middle east), somehow it's all the Muslims fault. Everything. Even the decades of spiteful mismanagement and encirclement and entrapment and dispossession of land.

That's all the Muslims fault, not wonderful shining Israel!

I'm no advocate for militant Islam either.

Bit I think America is now so far outside normal western values that American Christians especially just cannot seem to handle the cognitive dissonance that hits when facts outside their worldview land on their TV screen.

Matthew 1:21 - He will save His people

-

All of the nation of Israel will be a believer in Jesus, during the 1000 year rule of the Messiah.

The only unbelievers during that time will be gentiles, which is seen where the unbelieving gentiles. Will follow a released satan and attack the Jewish nation. Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 20:7,8,9,10

Lol'z everyone's a liar if they are not agreeing with you.
But you do the same thing. You don't believe that anybody has landed on the moon, and you have said several times that those that say they have, including Christians, are lying.

Chicago principal claims teacher who made sick Charlie Kirk gesture is the victim

Of course I would. So I would find a better job and move. Who wants to live and work around racists?
Wouldn't you want to tell your boss that one of his other employees has a little issue with you?

A Christian response to "No Kings."

People simply don't want to turn the country into a dictatorship.
The last administration was run by God knows who . It certainly was not Biden ! We were far closer to a “dictatorship “ with unelected staffers and advisors running the country. Trump is no dictator nor does he want to be one. That is just simply unhinged , Trump hating , liberal propaganda.

Why Real Pilots Know Flat Earth Horizon is Always at Eye Level. Anti flat earth agent Wolfie6020 proved wrong in claim that moon is below eye level with aviation documents showing how real pilots know and depend on the horizon being at eye level above a flat earth. It's a fact that real pilots use the horizon as a guide for straight and level flight and that real pilots know this very important rule when flying above flat earth. This debunks the globe and it debunks the claim that the moon was below eye level in a video made by Wolfie6020 in an attempt to "destroy Flat Earth at 45,000ft. When a pilot flies straight and level, the aircraft is usually pitched up. Wolfie wrongly refers to the line on a HUD as eye level while it is clear the aircraft was pitched up, making the horizon drop. Unfortunately, all anti flat earth globe defenders have is arguments that keep proving flat earth while debunking the globe claims and explanations about horizons and eye level. This video shows how the horizon is always at eye level.

thanks to 140 billion dollars and 8000 troops.
At least you acknowledge Trump kept his word. We all remember Biden said he couldn’t do it but the fact is he didn’t want to do it. The Democrat plan was more potential liberal voters and more house seats from inflated census numbers. Thank you Trump, for bringing order back to the border.

Heating up down under

At the moment I can think of no nicer way to say this, so if the moderators want to pop my hands, so be it:

It's one thing to argue whether AGW is or isn't a thing or whether there's an equilibrium. It's quite another to cherry pick studies to support a particular view. The Medieval Warm Period happened,
I never said otherwise! It did happen in small local regions up north.

Then the warm patch moved in other centuries to other parts of the world.

What part of that do you not understand?
I'll leave you to your faith in AGW. I don't think we have anything further to discuss.
How MAGA! When it finally turns out that the climate activist with a mere humanities background knows the denier myths better than the denier himself, it's the MAGA guy with a technical trade that runs.

It might have been a learning opportunity for someone more technically educated than I am to go and read the actual source documents and learn something new about the world.

Science adapts to new data.
Denialist dogma never does!

About Jesus being the only way?

I didn’t say anything about absolute perfection in this life, even if sin will be completely triumphed over in the next. I’m speaking about the other side of the coin, about a judgement that should render one ineligible for heaven if they remained in or returned to wanton, persistent grave sin.
And who says what that absolutely is for each individual person without carefully considering or even being able to fully weigh any an all factors/facts that need to always be fully considered in any truly just judgement of an individual person exactly?

Because a lot of people think that's them, etc. Especially the much more "religous/spiritual" do always, etc.

I am saying there is no way for us to know right now, etc.

It's possible that some things could be held against us and there might be some varying consequences for that based on each individual person/judgement, but that some other things might not be either, etc.

Adding definitions like "deliberate", "wanton", etc, just makes/sets ourselves up as the judges, and not God, and God only, etc.

We are only commanded to love everybody, etc. Show everyone equal love, and kindness and compassion, and all of that, etc. And always just instantly and summarily judging people without accurate knowledge does not at all do that, etc.

Adding those kinds of definitions/terms like "deliberate" and "wanton" and whatnot, or whatever else you want to say or add, just sidesteps or covers up the issue/fact that we are making ourselves the judges (and juries and prosecutors and executors/eternal condemors, etc) which is not at all right for us to ever do ever, etc.

None of that is ever truly "Christian", etc.

But is of the Devil in my opinion, etc.

(I'm sorry if I seem to get too passionate about all of this, but it makes me very, very angry though, but just know that that anger is not directed at just only you specifically, ok, but only that you're just kinda triggering it right now, ok) (I don't at all hate you, ok).

God Bless.

A Christian response to "No Kings."

He's posted pictures of himself with a crown and overstepped his authority time nd time again. That is, of course, leaving off the fact that after he lost the election last time around he tried to start an insurrection and prevent Biden from being sworn in.

Over-reach of authority and acting as if he were a monarch.
The SCOTUS has ruled on Trump's side time and time again.

The district court judges, 259 that Biden appointed six months before the election, have violated
the separation of powers between the executive branch and the judicial. They are activist judges,
period. The SCOTUS ruled that one district judge cannot make nationwide rulings as they tried to
do.
