• 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.

Democratic Governor tells illegals don't come.

At the end of everyone's day, the Father will judge.

Matthew 5:3–12​

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

The Governor has never spoke anything about Jesus, so not real sure how the red or verses apply.

I would think everything Jesus Christ of Nazareth said applies to everyone and anything. Blessings

Yeah ... like saying this is going to stop it ... LOL .... if we don't close our borders it's not going to stop ... and with the current administration it is clear they are not going to close our borders.

When it was millions coming into Southwestern states - they had their doors wide open - the moment they get a percentage of what Texas and Arizona are facing - they slam the door shut. Interesting observation

How do we “close our borders” and yet still comply with the USMCA?

If only the Democratic Party stood for open borders, this might mean something. As it is, only people who enjoy thrashing strawmen are getting anything out of this.

Really what should be done is telling Mexico if they don't quit allowing migrants to use Mexico as a gateway to America we will not honor the USMCA and end our trade with them.

How does sharing Bible verses on a Christian Forum not apply? Surely you would not discourage members from sharing words from the Bible?

Many people from both sides of the aisle think America has been over-saturated with immigrants.

That’s not how “treaties” work.

A poster makes a statement using scripture; I ask for a clarification; they make the clarification.

It is called point counterpoint. It is part of debate and/or intelligent discourse.

Someone who observes the interaction, trying to assign motive adds zero to the debate

Got anything on the topic of the thread?

I wrote it. You quoted it but ignored it. For some reason you cherry-pick my quotes concentrating on one part and ignoring the other. What is your motive?
