  • 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.

I wouldn't know.

I tend to call them simple YES or NO questions.

The thing is you think a group of people who have nothing to do with one's sins are going to get punished. That's a flawed mentality.

Let's simplify this.

Would you want to be on a bus going down a mountainside if God decides to judge the driver for whatever sin he's living?
Or, in other words,
would you want your life to depend on someone* controlled by the enemy of Jesus ?
*A vessel of dishonor, no matter what the ongoing sin was....

I could take their arguments more seriously if they were more consistent in their position against sin.
Can you quote even one person who approves of murder, rape, stealing,
yet does not approve of perversion ?

Not sure what to think of this. I know to get into the military there is/should be psych screening, and unfortunately transgenders do have higher instances of suicides, depression and anxiety rates, which is not a good blend for military service. Not trying to sound harsh, but as a group they are have a lot of mental instability. I would have to read more information on the success of the programs, preferably from the transgender actually in the military, to have a more solid response.

I do think there should be some policies discussed, but Trump put no thought into the ban.

Men who think they are women and women who think they are men are not right in the head? You don't say!

...it was a no brainer.

There is right and wrong ways implement transgenders in the military, but a ban is not one of them.

The better option is have regulations concerning transgenders entering, and what policies can be implemented. The full on ban is detrimental.

How so? What do you think the downside is?

The thing is the USA army isn't God's army, so I wouldn't adhere it to Scripture.
If it is not serving God,
that is not a good thing.
If they practice ungodliness, they will suffer for it.
If they permit the perverts, they will suffer for it.
(and those with them will suffer likewise, going along with it)

I think you can serve God, but the military is not a place of God not a church is.

No matter where a person is in life, in the world,
they should rightfully and only serve God.

Most of the world does not, and is condemned.

The thing is surprisingly when it comes to Trump, people are very selective towards his sins and believes everything he does is in the favor of God.
