  • 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.

...of course they do...

Leaders from the Dream City Church, which has locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale, are claiming in a Facebook post that they’ve installed new technology that “kills 99% of Coronavirus” through “ionization” within 10 minutes. A local company -- conveniently owned by church members -- developed the technology, they say.

I can almost hear Trump putting in a plug tomorrow night....

Problem solved? The Arizona church hosting a Trump rally claims it can kill COVID-19
And as Christians, they haven't shared this new technology with the rest of the country and the world? How righteous of them, I'm sure Jesus would approve. Not!

All includes Donald Trump.

Hi jack,

Oh, I knew what you were talking about, but I don't think we're going to see Trump wearing a mask voluntarily anytime soon. Of course at this point, whether or not Trump will show up at a teeny gathering of only 3,000 is questionable. He might send Ivanka in his stead.

God bless,
In Christ, ted

It is possible that his reckless behaviour will result in him wearing an oxygen mask or ventilator involuntarily.

Ivanka is far more intelligent and much easier on the eyes.

Personally, I think the fellowship of believers should stay set apart from the world of worldly politics. Let political gatherings be held in town halls and event centers and if christians want to go, that's fine. But to hold them in fellowship meeting places gives some credence to the person, platform and party that I honestly don't think that God supports.

It feels medieval given how tightly woven religion is in American politics.

Hi pitabread,

While that may be true in some circles, I don't think it has been true much in the past. But for me, I don't want to have anything to do with a fellowship that allows politics to sully the true worship of God in His sanctuary. Politics and struggles and toils of the governance of man are for outside the doors of the worship center, as far as I'm concerned.

God bless,
In Christ, ted

With only 3000 seats to pack I'm sure DJT will be able to play to a "packed house". Which is truly terrifying since Arizona is having a MASSIVE spike in COVID cases.
The suggestion that Trump doesn't care about COVID cases is patently false. He has been very concerned and vocal that this might reduce the number of people at his rallies.

In NYC you can get fined, even arrested for not wearing a mask. Maybe that is why they fired the AG in NY, let all the other states know if you try to enforce that I'll just fire your prosecutors.

What does the federal prosecutor in SDNY have to do with state policy on face masks?

Actually, it was US Attorney Berman (federal position) who was fired, not NY Attorney General Letitia James (state position).

You see, US Attorneys investigate federal crimes, and considering how many federal criminals have been on Donald's payroll, it would make sense he wouldn't want them investigated.

Refusing to wear a mask is a violation of a state executive order, and would be penalized on the state level. Besides, at least in NY, it was treated as a civil, not criminal, offense... no arrests, just a fine.

This might explain why the US is doing so poorly in comparison to Europe. Perhaps if the CDC guidelines were more than just guidelines

The President, the organizers and the Church are luring young people into this venue under false pretenses - as adults its their responsibility to protect these students, not take advantage of them conspiracy putting their lives and their families that they will return to at risk!

All this is to create yet another photo op for the gratification of one disturbed individual - Donald J Trump!
