  • 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.

    Authorizing cruelty? The issue that I believe is at the center of this discussion is what exactly is "cruelty" verses mess around and find out consequences of their own decisions. Getting straight to the point, dismissing the emotional hyperbolism, you must admit that there are actual federal...

    I know solicitation is frowned upon on this forum. But I have found that Grammarly has saved my but on numerous occasions from embarrassment. Just saying, it is worth the annual premium subscription.

    And Lord knows my auto-correct has failed me multiple times. Not for a lack of trying, but it is compensating for my very poor spelling. Speaking of poor spelling, what exactly is "Emglish?" LOL.

    David's son died, and Solomon was responsible for Israel becoming divided ( 1 Kings 11:11-12). I am shocked you did not know. My statement still stands.

    That is where the money went. But I digress. Big win for Obama...I guess.

    We already have a legal process for refugee protection and asylum seekers. Next, how exactly are we turning our backs on legal asylum seekers?

    Does it really matter? Regardless, Daniel was thrown into a lion den. The point that I am trying to make, which you appear to be distracted from, is that Daniel knew that he was breaking the law and did not act surprised or offended when he was being held legally accountable. If you want to hide...

    How do you supposed that should happen? Hold those small handful of ICE officers who used aggressive force accountable? Would that be enough?

    It is almost as if being an illegal immigrant somehow absolves you from accountability.

    So you want to complain about a problem and provide no example of a workable alternative that you find suitable. Where I come from, they call that whining.

    Yes. The king made a law that was binding, Daniel disobeyed, so the king had to follow through even though he did not want to. But it happened so that the power of God would be revealed. The point is that if you are anyone else refuse to obey the laws of the land because of your religious...

    Define what a realistic and humane immigration law enforcement should look like.

    Other countries are doing it...

    Perhaps the simple answer is that because of our constitutional rights and a judicial system that places a much higher burden on prosecutors there either isn't enough evidence to convict anyone yet, or prosecutors are just trying to get their ducks in a row.

    So you consider Romans 13:1-7 to be ridiculous. Noted. Sure, there are passages in which Apostles violated laws due to their obedience (Acts 5:27-29), and they were praised by God for it. But there is nowhere in scripture in which anyone violated the laws of the land and did not receive...

    That is great. However, unless you are suggesting that the United States returns to a borderless group of city states and dissolving their national sovereignty, then I am not sure were you are going with this. Perhaps the most fair thing to do is to apply the same immigration standards to the...
