• 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.

we have them in the Bible and they are read aloud in churches. Moses didn’t require 10 commandment placards to be posted everywhere.

...here is what Moses required:


(CLV) Dt 11:18
Hence you will place these my words in your heart and in your soul, and you will tie them as a sign on your hand, and let them come to be as brow-bands between your eyes.

I see nothing there about classroom walls (or the United States government, or the Louisiana state government).

Because they are Jews who oppose the poster. You said "anti-semites" would oppose it. I just wonder which of the groups who oppose the poster are the "anti-semites" you were referring to.
You might wish to review what I actually said before fully committing to taking a stand on your fallacy of the undistributed middle.

Nope, simply posting the Decalogue on a wall pales in comparison to what Moses requires.

So you had no particular groups in mind when you referred to "anti-semites." OK

Of course. And yet he does not require it. What you scribe upon your heart, tie upon your hands, or wear upon your brow is your own business.

If you don't like it here; you are as free as I am to take your own advice.


God Bless America!
The thing is, you're the one looking to change the country. Should you succeed, I may do just that, but until then, I will fight tooth and nail to preserve my country.

Or requiring non-Jews to do it.
Wrong.

(CLV) Lv 24:22
The same judgment shall you come to have; for the sojourner as well as the native shall it be: for I, Yahweh, am your Elohim.

Here is a message to those who reject the law (Torah)

(CLV) Ro 2:12
for whoever sinned without law, without law also shall perish, and whoever sinned in law, through law will be judged.

It doesn't literally mean to glue stone tablets to your forehead. lol.

What better way to get the Decalogue into one's head; than to occasionally read it?

Not stone, but yes, literally. Written on vellum and in little leather cases called Tefillin.

The article said why. It seems that this select group of "Jews" holds a greater understanding for the Liberal twisting of our Founders' intent, than they do the Torah. For reasons like this, maybe that's why the secular State of Israel holds some of the biggest gay pride parades in the world. Go figure.

It was required to be read out loud in public places. Is that what you would prefer? I would.

This isn't a christian state. You can't force your religion on others. If you want that create a Gilead and form a colony. But don't get upset when it's challenged or others follow suit.

That's Pharisaic tradition. You know what Yahshua said about that.

This isn't a christian state.

Whereas the United States Supreme Court has declared throughout the course of our Nation's history that the United States is `a Christian country', `a Christian nation', `a Christian people', `a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being', and that `we cannot read into the Bill of Rights a philosophy of hostility to religion';

@HARK!

You can quote it if you wish but the end result is the same. The recognition of other practices and laws against discrimination put you on equal footing. And given the proliferation of verses you shared I'm surprised you didn't reference the ones more aligned with the current state.

They did the same thing with civil rights. People thought it was one thing and it opened the floodgates for the rest. That's why you have gay marriage. It's rumored the guy who worked with king and came up with a lot of stuff was a homosexual. But I didn't investigate it. Though it wouldn't surprise me. That's how they move.
