  • 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.

    When you think abortion is okay…

    The people who have abortions, perform abortions, make pills to cause abortions, etc., do not value human life. Those who support a woman’s so-called right to kill her child do not value human life. Those who turn a blind eye to this do not value human life. So why care about Charlie Kirk or...

    All that God did and commanded in the Old Testament was just.

    I came across this passage this morning. There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle. For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might...

    What disturbing stories are you referring to?

    FWIW, my op had nothing to do with current events. It was just something I came across, and I thought it would make an interesting discussion.

    I never said anything about applying genocidal passages to today. It wasn’t even implied. But the genocidal passages in the OT were just for that time.

    I read more than just the Bible alone as well. So I’m not sure what your point is.

    All that God did and commanded in the Old Testament was just.

    That I understand. But the more I read, the less confusion there is. I read through the Bible twice a year. And the more I’ve read, the clearer it’s become. And mainly it’s made me grateful that He has shown me mercy because I’m no better than the rebellious Israelites.

    All that God did and commanded in the Old Testament was just.

    When I said just, I meant morally right. Everything God commands and everything He does is right. Or righteous, if you please.

    I’d love to hear from @PloverWing as to why the False vote. It has me curious.

    All that God did and commanded in the Old Testament was just.

    All that God did and commanded in the Old Testament was just. This includes everything from the laws given in the Garden, the Ten Commandments, etc. to the commands of wiping out entire nations.

    EXCLUSIVE MRC POLL: Most Dem Voters Don’t Know About Harris’s Radicalism

    Not at all. They were eliminated because of free market, not because the government set up shop elsewhere and promised low-cost buggy whips to everyone. Don’t think that I’m unaware of your point. But my question is, why stop at insurance?

    EXCLUSIVE MRC POLL: Most Dem Voters Don’t Know About Harris’s Radicalism

    Yes. The creation of something completely different and more efficient drove those businesses out. That was done through the free market. The government didn’t take over making buggy whips.
