  • 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.

    Adam

    Why not. It is the same as what you would find in a book. Sarah and Hagar are allegories, according to Paul. It's scripture.

    It takes two to tango. Combatants is defined as "a person or nation engaged in fighting during a war." In this case, it's only Americans involved. Venezuela isn't at war with the US. That means that the people on the boats weren't combatants, since they are not at war with America.

    Trump says U.S. seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast

    Glad to see them doing it without killing anyone.

    It's not how we look at things that matter. It's how God looks at them. Man's crime may not be sin and God's sin may not be a crime. If someone wants to see criminals killed, then why shouldn't that person receive the same judgment for their sin?

    Maybe that's the problem. I want to see them saved.

    Adam

    I understand the allegorical meaning and the ages have something to do with prophecy.

    He can do lots of things but that doesn't make It legal. Getting Congressional approval would remove the legal issues domestically but there is still International law.

    The Admiral testified before Congress. Other military men have retired and spoken as to this being the cause. I haven't said they testified in court, yet.

    The first strike was on Sept. 2. That is over 90 days. He is outside his timeframe.

    That's not hear say. There isbvudeo evidence of the strikes. There is testimony from those involved. That is not hearsay.

    Adam

    I haven't heard of a metaphorical Adam but there is a deeper meaning of Adam than the literal. It's allegorical.

    Yep, mine was a trick question, too. Yes, now, the President has to get authorization to use military force. We are not "at war" with drug cartels. Only Congress can designate that. Not nonsense, fact. Trump is pushing his authority to new limits and this hasn't been decided if it is legal.

    Dear Pete Hegseth, I’m Grateful the Japanese Navy Spared My Grandfather’s Life

    We don't know that, "Yet." We don't even know that the boats were carrying illegal drugs. You may hate him but I don't. I pray for Trump, regularly. I want him to find salvation.
