  • 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.

Evolution conflict and division

But it sounds like you're concerned by the idea of something like terrestrial animals evolving into whales.
Animals from animals? Not so much. Man from animals? Much.

All living organisms evolved from a common ancestor. No.
Science isn’t in the business of proposing explanations where there’s no evidence.
What are the limits of scientific knowledge? Normally science comes to its propositions only indirectly, ie., observing effects and speculating (inferring) causes. Their propositions are validated by, and grounded in, experience and, therefore, can only be contingent, ie., dependent on the next improved observation of more cogent reasoning. The phrase "science facts" is an oxymoron.

Relying on the principle of verification, scientists will not admit any non-analytic or non-empirical claim as they think those claims are meaningless. Perhaps the most devastatingly illogicality in their position is that the verification principle itself seemed to fail its own test—it could not be verified either logically or empirically, suggesting that by its own standards, it was meaningless.

So, science is quite limited in its claim to knowledge. We have other means to come to the truth of things. I am more certain of things I know by faith than by science. Posters in this thread; indeed, in this forum, suggests they are as well.

MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be Deported to African Country of Eswatini

Oh. but wait...He claims that he is not a gang member; and gang members never lie to authorities. :holy:
Yes.
And the government's main contention is that gang members have identified him thusly.

So.....

School Teachers, Nurses, Government Workers, CELEBRATING Charlie Kirk's murder

It’s not about beating up on the left, it’s about exposing those on the left beating up on a dead man.
Is he getting beat up really?

Kirk said a lot of awful things about a lot of people.

DO you expect people to take abuse from someone and then show reverence when they're dead?

House floor erupts after Boebert calls for prayer following Charlie Kirk killing: 'Absolutely disgusting'

(staff edit)
I never said a moment of silence was weaponized. But Boebert's call to have spoken prayer was gesturing towards weaponization. And that's what Democrats were objecting to. Conservative evangelical Christians regularly use prayer to manipulate or grandstand. A moment of silence, on the other hand, is respectful and of sufficient gravity on its own. More than Kirk frankly deserves.

Christians - May I have your attention for a moment?

This was what I was doing, when I experienced miracles just by praying for people. I believed, and acted. I was like.. it says, he says so I do.
I heard a video last night from a catholic exorcist that I often do as they have so much knowledge. this was Fr Rippberger and he is also educated in psychology and that is my field. So what he was on about I found highly interesting. He said most churches nowadays are not wanting to hear about or know about the spiritual reality of the faith or spiritual warfare that they are atheistic about it. He said it was a big problem, prevents God from working. Makes people asleep in the church and everything about money or buildings and programs. (not that it does not have its place) but it has taken over. People don`t believe in the supernatural or want to know. IN the church. Those who do talk about it hear often they are "too much" this or that. But truth is he said most about christianity IS about spiritual warfare and the supernatural reality. I think this is why as he explained. I have had it myself I was told by a priest that I should not talk about the miracles I have experienced as some would not take it lightly.

Back in the late 70's I showed the video "Viva Christo Rey" about the breakout of revival among the poor in Mexico. Those who heard and saw what God was doing were strongly convicted and on occasion the audience was silent for many minutes in response to what they were seeing.

I guess we are light years away from such encounters with God's Love these days - we have focused on 'Church Growth' and less on transforming encounter with God, community, and taking His life to the poor.

Why are all these leading Democrats suddenly facing mortgage fraud charges? Trump's retribution guy at the Federal Housing Finance Agency

The buyer has no one to blame but himself if he ignores, "Buyer beware."
Don't blame the lying fraudster? It is the fault of the deceived, not the deceiver? Odd logic.
Surely these injuries were taken to Court and rectified. . .

What were the damages awarded to the injured?
This is criminal, not civil court.
Crickets. . .
Jiminy!

I love deep thinking especially God/end times/bible/do something for God anyone that can think deep or INFJ introvert etc here?

We should judge all things, just not after the flesh ...
I agree with this. If you can detach yourself from earthly matters, only then can you judge. But to do that you must not be involved, and that is hard to do.

5 key findings from DOJ report on anti-Christian bias under Biden

Wow. I would think that, as a Christian, one would be upset at the Constitutional violations the government takes against Christians.

Luckily, the courts are seeing them as the violations they are and are overturning them.

And as far as COVID is concerned, Fauci lied from day one, as anyone in the medical field could (and did) attest, and his mandates have been shown to be illegal. Quarantine is for the sick people and those with compromised immune systems, not for the healthy people, And luckily those mandates have been rejected. And the military officers affected could have been put on duties that didn’t put them in close proximity to others. There is no need to violate our rights as Christians.
No, quarantine is for exposed people. And Isolation is for any people who could be exposed. But covid has been debated to death on this site.

As a Christian, my rights were not violated by the previous administration. What I see is rights violated under this one. But that is not the topic.

At least two students shot in active shooter situation at Evergreen High School

Evergreen High School shooter embraced Columbine, antisemitism and white supremacy online

The 16-year-old boy accused of shooting two classmates at Evergreen High School on Wednesday before fatally shooting himself embraced conspiratorial, antisemitic and white supremacist social media content, according to a review by The Colorado Sun.

Desmond Holly also reposted TikToks about the 1999 Columbine High School shooting and posed wearing a T-shirt with the word “WRATH” on it, which is what shooter Eric Harris wore as he carried out the Columbine attack.

At least two students shot in active shooter situation at Evergreen High School

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts
Social media accounts that appear to be connected to shooter Desmond Holly are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

The accounts also include references to Holocaust denial, and the name of one of the accounts appeared to end with a reference to a prominent white supremacist slogan. That account reposted several videos showing school shooting scenes from movies, as well as another video that appeared to show the two Columbine shooters taking target shots at bowling pins. Other videos the account reposted were explicitly antisemitic or depicted people in Nazi uniforms.

The Lost House of Israel

And in 1. Cor 6:2 says that we will GOVERN the UNIVERSE , and means HEAVEN !!

Then in 1 COR 6:3 :we will GOVERN ANGELS !!

And only those who will be in. the UNIVERSE , will be the BODY of Christ . period !!BE

Just asking for your thoughts ??

dan p
When, Dan?
NOT now, NOT when Jesus Returns, NOT during the Millennium, ONLY when the Great White Throne Judgment has happened and ONLY by those whose names are found in the Book of Life,

Any ideas and beliefs of living in the Spiritual realm before that Judgment, are wrong and cannot happen.

Christians - May I have your attention for a moment?

And I don’t agree with the pedestal we’ve applied to the early church nor do I think they were more mature.

Do you really think the Love of Jesus was less expressed throughout the early church in the first 5 chapters of Acts ?
