  • 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 have studied semantics most all of my life. I can assure you that any reasoning based on falsehood, ends in a contradiction.
(I did read it before,btw). Reading it this time, I agree that any reasoning based on (trusting) politics in the world leads everyone astray.

Respectfully, I never said trusting politics in this world leads everyone astray. Certainly this world is corrupted by the god of this world. But the faith I'm talking about is that Love is Eternal and greater than this world. I believe there can be good politicians and should be good politicians, and that to become cynical is to conform to this world, just as all bad politicians have conformed to this world through cynicism.

Do you know why the DOJ has such ridiculous rules? Because neither party trusts the other when in power.

God says not to trust politics. (He curses those who trust men/ flesh/mankind, even believers(until they repent) )

I said any reasoning based on falsehood ends in a contradiction. That's because any person who does not Love others as they would want to be loved, opposes their own self in what they sow.

God says not to put your trust in men including myself because He wants me to acknowledge that God is Who makes a person righteous through His Spirit. He's not saying don't trust anyone including your self since that would be a contradiction in reasoning to loving others as I would want to be loved. For if I distrust everyone, then why trust my own distrust? That's insanity. Therefore I listen to the words of people to see if they acknowledge God as the goodness in mankind. If they talk as if goodness and compassion is the result of self will then it's vanity and shouldn't be trusted.

According to Jay Sekulow, "defending the indefensible" was the problem the Honorable Robert Mueller had yesterday. It wasn't so much that Mueller had lost his mental faculties, the problem was that Mueller couldn't defend the indefensible.

As a Christian, that makes sense to me. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

From your source:
There has been no accusation that either charity has violated federal law, which bars people with influence over nonprofits from deriving “excess benefits” from them. Robertson, who remains president of the ACLJ board, defended the arrangement in a statement to The Post.

Independent accountants review the nonprofits annually, Robertson said, and the IRS has found them to be “in full compliance with all applicable tax law.”

“The financial arrangements between ACLJ, [Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism] and all related entities have been reviewed by outside independent compensation experts and have been determined to be reasonable,” he said

The article doesn’t exonerate the apparent self-dealing Sekulow family. It’s a smoother way (than the Trump Foundation) to assure family members each get a piece of the business.
Sekulow is obviously a man of respect in the Trump administration.

LOL, small potatoes compared to Biden's family.

At least Sekulow's family works for their money. Biden's son, not so much.

What does Biden have to do with Sekulow and the Mueller report?

The OP. Showing Sekulow as a trusted source of unbiased personal attorney for the President.

They need a new villain to blame. He was the head of the Trump legal team.

Gotta blame someone. There’s always more people who have to be investigated and we won’t know if they are guilty unless an investigation is started to go find something. So Sekulow needs to be investigated because we just know he’s guilty. So goes the meme.

Russian interference in the 2016 election was real. It really happened and was not a hoax.
Of course Russian interference of some kind was evident. Then why was not the Obama administration investigated it during their watch in 2016?

The doublethink on the right surrounding this whole thing is incredible.

The Mueller Report supposedly "completely exonerates" Trump but also, should not be believed because it's just a Democrat witch hunt hoax.

Anyone care to explain that one?
Sure. The entire report was based on opposition research obtained by a foreign agent through Russian contacts. Even taking that bogus data, the Mueller investigation obtained no evidence to prefer charges against the President.
