• 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.

Harris has picked the socialism-praising governor of Minnesota as her running mate to create the most far-left ticket in American history

So he didn't give out free fish to the crowd?

Did I miss the parable about free-market capitalism?
He did not just provide endless food to people who did not work. Yes He did give free food, but it was not every day to the same people. Nor does He expect His followers to give to people who can and do not do

Yes. But do you know why?
Did I miss the parable about free-market capitalism?
I don’t think there is one. But Paul said

For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
— 2 Thessalonians 3:10

And

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
— 1 Timothy 5:8

I never claimed the government provides income.
And obviously, any benefit provided by the government is paid for by the taxpayers.
So why are you giving him credit?

Let’s pretend that this a legitimately good program. That doesn’t make him not a leftist.

Noted.
Which of Gov Walz's policies make him a leftist from your perspective?

Yes. But do you know why?
Someone wandered out into the desert without thinking ahead?
I don’t think there is one. But Paul said
I don't care what Paul said. He is not Jesus.

No.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
— 2 Timothy 3:16
Don't care what Tim said either.

So then do you not realize that since all scripture came from God and Jesus is God then Jesus did impire it to be written? In other words, just because it is not written in red does not mean it did not come from Jesus.

To use a secular example suppose that you are my boss and your boss tells you something ( maybe something that needs to get done) you then tell me whatever it is because maybe it is my " wheelhouse" maybe as a supervisor your job is to assign certain tasks to others since you cannot do it all whether the case is. Just because you told me as opposed to the overall boss does not mean that the instruction did not come from the boss.

And this... is being a "leftist" somehow the antithesis of being a Christian? I'm sure there are a whole group of Christians on this board you could have that discussion with.
We decline, lol.

The passage that outlines all of that is in “Bible: The Extended Edition.”
