  • 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.

Carthage was the capital of one of the enemies of Ancient Israel. The Jews were suppose to wiped out certain pagans in the area. Did the Romans fulfill God's plan by wiping out Carthage and other pagans?
Carthage was the capital of the Carthaginian Civilization, but it was over in what is now Libya, not an ancient enemy of Israel. Carthage started as a Phoenician colony. The people that were/became the "Phoenicians" certainly had interaction with ancient Israel, but probably not Carthage, at least not in any measurable way. Rome fulfilled God's will in certain ways, but I do not think the destruction of Carthage was one of those ways.
