  • 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.

How does he relate to the OP?
Famous for building off a much older theory of: thesis + antithesis = synthesis. Two totally opposite forces (thesis and antithesis), neither of which is what you want, but you continuously mash them together to get the synthesis, the desired outcome. Trump and Biden are this. Notice how the polarization is only getting worse?

I'm well familiar with the concept; but this thread is about Hunter Biden.

Then apply the concept. People have been talking about Hunter's obvious corruption and nefarious dealings since before Biden was in office. Now he's almost out of office, and its been nothing but fanfare. You cant expect justice from a corrupt system. Look over there while you get robbed over here. Bread and games.

Would you turn a blind eye to the corruption?

I would turn my eyes to God and not expect justice from those who serve the ruler of this age. Show me a politician and I will show you corruption. We are in this world, not of this world

Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

We'll see if his lawyers are able to strike a deal this time that a judge doesn't immediately regard as "toss-worthy".

I know this is a highly polarized subject (so some people have an inclination to really go after him, and others have an inclination to try to downplay things), but by any standard, that previous plea agreement was a joke.

Two serious tax violations and a felony gun charge, and the deal was no jail time, 2 years of probation (He has to hang out in a mansion and get a drug test every once in a while, or darn), and immunity from future federal charges.

There are people who get stiffer sentences for far less.

Probation is hardly a punishment if you have a baller mansion and a bunch of money in the bank.

So why do you suppose that Yahshua admonished those of the world, and called them out on their corruption; as he called us to follow his example?

Is that what this is, a call to repentance? To me it just looks like political theatre.

Sounds like a license to commit crime.
I honestly don't know why that's ever a deal that's offered to people.

Typically, immunity deals don't cover future crimes (no cases that I'm aware of), only ones that you've already committed. However, I still see it as problematic.

I don't know if there's any unsolved crime or "flip a person on someone else" opportunity that justifies an immunity deal.

I feel the same way about "diplomatic immunity". Some of those cases are particularly infuriating.

Lets get past Trump, then we'll move on to Biden shall we?

I can see it with organized crime. If there is overwhelming evidence for a conviction of say a illegal drug sale; and the guy will accept a deal for that specific crime; if his testimony will convict the big guy; then I'm all for it. If later it turns up that the guy murdered someone; then that's another matter. Blanket immunity doesn't cut it.

I agree, we should make sure that Hunter Biden is dealt with according to the law.

As much as I agree, you don't see much of the law ever being applied to those above it. Politics is such a sham.
