• 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.

Russia cannot even completely defeat Ukraine in a conventional war. How is Russia going to gobble up more nations?
I do not for a second believe that you are too dense to know the answer to that question.

Yeah, Trump keeps getting disappointed by Putin. Has a long phone call with him and then (due to his habit of aligning with the last person he speaks to) is gobsmacked when Putin kills another bunch of kids or older folks.

Trump’s surprised Pikachu face is an delight to behold; every time. Trump is SO desperate for Putin to favour him it’s embarrassing.
Nope

However, I see that your anti-Trump biases are showing.

Your solution will require the killings to continue on and on and on.
Only until the aggressors are defeated. That’s how wars work?

I thought that war was supposed to be over on day one of his new administration.
Donald Trump has repeatedly said he could settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day if he’s elected president again.

Sounds like to me that you don't agree with my answers.
It wasn’t an answer. It was a question. You don’t want to have a discussion; you want to avoid it.

I guess it depends on what context you look at Kirk. He was political and Christian. But I am not sure they mix. I mean its hard to speak about Christian beliefs and values in todays society fullstop even if your not into politics.

In the past people could testify or proclaim their beliefs and this was echoing the braoder society because it was more God centered. Then Christianity was seen as just one of many beliefs in the public square where all beliefs were tolerated.

Now Christianity is like a trigger for a growing number and especially young people. So Kirk being able to more or less go into the lions den of secular ideas and politics was an amazing achievement. He had constant death threats. I could only imagine that someone who persists in putting themselves in such a situation had tremendous faith that he knew anytime he could be taken out.
