  • 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.

Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

Evolution conflict and division

I'm sorry guys, I still find this whole evolution thing a bunch of baloney.
It's observed going on in populations everywhere. You might as well call gravity "baloney."

Readers, notice the passive tense. And, what exactly is "it"?
Is it possible that English is not your first language? Read it again, carefully.
I suspect he only means more micro events falsely portrayed as macro.
I think you have confused evolution (a change in allele frequencies) with universal common descent. We do observe both microevolution (evolution within a species) and macroevolution (new species evolving).

Is belief/non-belief a morally culpable state?

Not really. Let's make it simpler here: Does anyone on this forum hold a belief that they know is false?
You may as well ask me if I'm a mind reader. As far as I can see, your question proposes a scenario that is not possible, unless someone is lying to themselves.

Fun fact, I just returned from a short deployment to that area of the Caribbean and don't recall seeing any of the posters who are calling for war there.

A conversation about unity.

I did see and answer that question. It is an irrelevance at best.

I think the above is repetitious material previously dealt with.
It is actually very relevant. All of us are guests in this world and look forward to dwell with our Lord in the next. Your refusal to address the questions is quite telling.

I for one support this. If the courts uphold that it's lawful, eventually I, as a military officer, will be able to declare people terrorists and drug dealers and be able to eliminate them. As long as there's no evidence other than my word.

Trump calls Epstein disclosures battle ‘a Democrat hoax’

Look it up - it is searchable.
You'd think this would be big news by now, if true.

What did the Epstein victim say about Clinton day before yesterday?

Oh, I stumbled across it.

ETA: Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies says she went on a trip to Africa with former President Clinton and other notable figures.

That does not make her "Clinton's victim".

So what is the intent of the cartels when one seizure from law enforcement contains enough fentynal to kill millions of people?
Money. Now, if these so-called terrorists were dumping the fentanyl into the reservoirs, you would have a point.

I am curious, is making money by bringing poisons into a country that kills thousands not murder?
No. 1) Dose makes the poison. 2) Importing poison (strychnine, arsenic, etc.) is not illegal and not murder. 3) Capitalism is not murder. 4) Gun running is not murder. 5) Selling a substance that people voluntarily, knowing want to purchase and use is not murder.
What exactly is your definition of 'murder?'
Unlawful premeditated killing - like bombing a boat full of people when many other options for stopping them is available.

Poor poor drug cartels.

Alleged drug cartel. Was there a trial of any kind? Do we know who exactly was killed? Do we know for a fact where they were going?

Trump and Rubio are judge, jury and executioners.

AI Affirms The Necessity Of A Creator God...!

32% is a plurality, not a majority.
I am specific when I said Christianity is a "majority religion" having the biggest slice in the pie chart I provided.

And you're ignoring what really matters, what constitutes the few according to Christ's perspective which is a much more pessimistic figure.

That does not take into account the "Tares," the "wolves in sheep's clothing" and the "Lord, Lord..." crowd.
How much Tares would it take to make you concerned, 20%, 50%, 75%, 99.99%? If taking into account the relationship to a nation's level of corruption suggest a very strong influence of the tares and their false teachings, they'd have to be the majority within the Christian population.

Keep in mind, this is the Creationism sub-forum.
It's not the technology subforum either for us to be discussing the use of AI in theological studies.

I cannot believe that it looks like the liberals are defending the rights of the narco terrorists cartels.

It appears that you care more about due process for narco cartels killing thousands upon thousands of Americans every year than the lives of the American people.
lol, it appears as if you’ve lost the ability to see beyond what Dear Leader has told you and consider why we have due process in the first place: because sometimes authorities get things wrong.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I support due process. Like the law requires.

You apparently believe whatever this lying government claims. How do you know the people on that boat were guilty of any alleged crimes? How do you know this wasn’t just plain old murder of 11 innocent people?

Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar Suddenly Somehow Worth $30 Million, According to Report

I want to know how the assets of a winery jumped to an Omar value of between $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 in her last disclosure. In her previous disclosure she estimated the worth of the assets between $15,000 and $50,000. How in the world did they make so much money when wineries are having a difficult time because of the drop in demand?
You wanna know....? If you REALLY wanted to know you could ask and engage in a conversation.

Do you REALLY believe that because demand is dropping, no winery could possibly be making money? You may not believe it but good quality products get bought often. MAAAAYBE they make a good wine? Has that been looked into as a possible reason?

You WANNA....remain outraged and you'll continue looking for reasons not to trust her.

I imagine we all agree THIS is a GREAT thing though. Bipartisan support...even on CF maybe?

I believe the Las Vegas Raiders are going all the way to the Superbowl this year.
I guess the articulation of the 'revised' question is, "Does anyone on this entire forum think he/she are lying to themselves at this very moment?" Oops, the moment is past.

SecDef Hegseth Drafting 600 Military Judges to Clear Backlog of Immigration Cases.

That is only 2 cases out of many which have been decided in favor of Trump's executive actions.
Most of them have not been decided. Although SCOTUS has been issuing some stays (and not in other cases) on the emergency docket as the appeals are worked out, there are not many cases where they have ruled on the merits.

Health problems and migranes

Please pray for my son Jakeb. He is having health problems and a migraine. Please pray that he feels better for his appointment and that God heals him and please pray that the doctor will call in our medication today. Thank you so much and God bless you. I ask in the name of Jesus. Carmen

I can’t believe the right have completely abandoned due process altogether. All they need is a label “terrorist” and the person can be executed.

Actually, no. I totally believe it. I’ve been watching this descent for months now. They’ve abandoned all critical thought, reason, ethics, morality, shame, humanity.
You have to understand. Not agreeing with this makes you suspect of being "soft on crime".

Her husband's wealth increased because of his ownership stake in 2 companies that have done very well.

Contextualizing claim Ilhan Omar's net worth jumped from below zero to $30M since joining Congress

Was there something else to attack this Democrat woman of colour over or could we maybe put this silly nonsense to bed.


Conversely, it can also be remembered that this is a woman who is under ALMOST constant attack from nonracist Republicans. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up a bit of a magnet for fundraising dollars.

No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

I’m really sorry to read that those who were frightened by the prospect of hell had no personal choice to seek God’s grace and forgiveness. Your God seems to be a bit different from my God who respects the freewill of mankind. I think I’m done here.
Those who had to be scared into being afraid of it likely had no real interest in wanting to escape it, the same way unbelievers aren’t interested in seeking Christ. They have a hardened heart. Only those who’ve already had their hearts softened by God, in both the OT and the NT, are able to seek forgiveness, because repentance is one of the gifts we receive when our hearts have been regenerated. Your God does not exist in the scriptures. The Bible is clear what God’s attributes are, as well as what His will is, and what Christ’s purpose for coming was.
