  • 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.

Is a Religious Backlash being Prepared by Trump?

I was watching Walter Veith given his description of the end times when he showed a series of videos on what is being given and this came up...


I was shocked as it was something that a Revelation Series would show or you would find on Amazing Facts or Amazing Discoveries. It seems they took it right out of our evangelistic series, or Adventist sermon of End Time Events, incredible.

I find it very hard to find any religious comments endorsing the idea that Christians need to be concerned about this or that moral issue since Trump is against those moral issues.

But in the 2016 election cycle Trump did argue for removing penalties from religious entities that make strong affirmations or condemnations of this or that political party because they feel it violates a moral standard. In other words outright approval or condemnation of a given political party was to be allowed from the pulpits without losing tax exempt status. That was a 2016 proposal in 2015.

Well, we can see the present administration is stoking the flames so to speak, take a look...
"The White House on Friday announced "transgender day of visibility" for March 31, which this year falls on Easter Sunday.

"NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility," President Biden wrote in a Friday statement. "I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity."

And its being done purposely as a matter of policy...'Since its inception, the Biden administration has made LGBT activism a cornerstone of its policy priorities. Biden boasted in his statement that he appointed transgender leaders to his administration and ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in the military.'...MSN MSN

No doubt they are kicking the sleeping tiger that is for sure.

Agreed Biden is doing everything possible to bring in the "consequence" identified in Lev 18 where God Himself is called to answer. I would not want to join someone in challenging God Himself since He has proven Himself fully capable of answering directly.

They already do it and losing tax free status is just not enforced.

Well, looks like Biden has awoken the 'sleeping tiger' with this 'ideology' which really is atheism hidden under a cover of political correctness and acting for the 'common good', as the Pope calls it.
