  • 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.

--------(11) Exhorted to continue attendance upon the New Testament assembly (v.25)

--------(12) Warned not to sin willfully in renouncing his professed faith in Christ and going back to the sacrifices (v.26)

--------(13) For the one who would go back, there remains only judgment (v.27)

--------(14) The one who rejected the First Testament was punished (v.28)

--------(15) The one committing the threefold sin against the three Persons of the Triune God would be punished more severely (vv.29-31) ; the sin namely of

................(a) Treading under foot the Son of God, a sin against God the Father who sent the Son

................(b) Counting Jesus' the same as ours, a sin against God the Son who shed his blood

................(c) Doing despite to the Holy Spirit in turning away from His further ministrations, a sin against God the Spirit who had led them into repentance

--------(16) The recipients are urged to remember the persecutions they endured for their testimony to Christ, and not let them go for naught by returning to the sacrifices (vv.32-37)

--------(17) They are urged to obtain justification through placing their faith in Messiah, and not draw back to perdition (vv.38,39)

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

The citizens need to sue ICE for violations of their civil rights. The officers may lose any immunity and have to pay out of their own pockets.
If you feel your civil rights have been violated contact an attorney to see if you have a legitimate case. There are problem officers, I remember a study in Chicago said that if they got rid of 1% of the officers the city would have saved a ton of money. Although a large majority of complaints are found to have no substance, there are that 1 or even 2 percent of officers who are repeat offenders and should be removed. As in other professions they somehow find a way to manage and keep their jobs.

Does this worry anyone?

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

is anyone concerned how this would impact anyone they know with special needs in their family?

50 years after the birth of special education, some fear for its future under Trump

Fifty years ago, just after Thanksgiving of 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, the landmark law that created special education as it exists today, and guaranteed all children with disabilities the right to a "free appropriate public education."

Yet, "rather than celebrating progress, we face a crisis," warned a recent letterto Congress, signed by hundreds of disability, civil rights and education groups.

That crisis, according to the letter, is "the dismantling of the very infrastructure Congress created to ensure children with disabilities could reach their full potential."

The Trump administration has fired, or tried to fire, many of the federal staff at the U.S. Department of Education who manage and enforce federal disability law

Heilman [the mother of a Down syndrome teenager] filed a complaint with the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR)

OCR is the fail-safe for families who believe their child's civil rights are being violated at school because of their disability.

Heilman says her assigned attorney was removed around the same time the Trump administration began a broad reduction-in-force.

Heilman's second attorney worked in an OCR office that was gutted in October, in a second round of layoffs. Those fired workers have since been reinstated, but Heilman says she has heard nothing about her complaint.

Kingdom of Israel restored on Pentecost.

@samaus123456789 -
1/ The lost House of Irael is not yet rejoined with Judah. 3000 is not 'as many as the sands of the sea'.
2/ The Davidic Kingdom is not yet restored. Jesus hasn't Returned yet.
3/ What happened in 70 to 135AD, was just the conquest and dispersion of Judah.
4/ Christians are Gods Peoples, - 1 Peter 2:9-10, Revelation 5:9-10 From every tribe, race, nation and language.
5/ The Israeli flag displays the star of Rephaim. An ancient Satanic symbol.
6/ The joke about the 'lost tribes' now returning to the Jewish State of Israel, is that their qualification is to believe in Judaism.

Anyone who thinks you should be banned, must support their own beliefs with scriptural and other proofs,

The 2025 Government Shutdown Thread

fantasy espn

Have you considered smaller insurers? Free competition is the key, Blacks Lives Matter, for example, can offer their members health care and share the cost between members. They can cap the salary of a CEO at $100,000 and put it in their bylaws that every employee must make at least half of the salary of the CEO in order to keep costs affordable for patients. Anyone can incorporate and offer those same salaries and go into health insurance only, with a goal of making health insurance affordable for everyone. A person should be able to CHOOSE insurance from companies other than the ones Obama and Pelosi decided to favor.
Insurance companies are regulated by the States, not the Feds. The ACA has standards which companies must meet to participate in the Marketplace. For the States, they would have to meet certain standards of capitalization (they have to be able to pay out what they've contracted to cover), have proper licenses and meet certain consumer services, depending on the particular state.

Insurance probably is not the best way to meet a population's health care needs. It's really not like car insurance or property insurance. Unfortunately, it's what we got right now.

The Final Experiment (Flat Earth Bites The Dust)

I don't buy that. That is argument for 3rd grade of elementary school. ^^



Average Joe can't go to Antarctica cause truth would be revealed. :D
"The Final Experiment" already dealt with that.

Go watch the movie to see how well your brethren handled it.

At this point, you choose to ignore evidence due to hubris.
