• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

What about integrity

That comes later.

The correct formula is:

2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Not following that formula leads to all sorts of problems.

For example, some people, after getting saved, want to add knowledge to their faith -- skipping the virtue (or integrity, as you called it) -- and that leads to all sorts of abominations, like abortion and LGBT.

Knowledge, without virtue to temper it, is like a sail without wind.

If I found the right Casa Grande (Arizona?) there's no relief in sight for the next two weeks. At least your humidity is fairly low.

Thanks ob. Is that based on putting 2 and 2 together? What's a time loop?

Leaving the sarcasm of my post aside NO₂ is nitrogen dioxide.
I knew of schoolkids of my generation having been hospitalized producing this gas in a chemistry experiment.
It is reddish in colour, highly corrosive and its safety data sheet indicates how dangerous it is.

Since car combustion engines produce high temperatures, nitrogen oxides NOₓ which includes NO₂ are produced when nitrogen and oxygen in the air in the cylinders react with each other and forms part of the exhaust gasses.
NOₓs are broken down when the gasses pass over the precious metal coatings in the catalytic convertor.

Diesel produces alot more than gasoline engines, but the biggest source is actually from cattle ranches.
