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.

They need treatment for childhood trauma which is running rampant and people are giving a pass to groomers now.
Like take the the library trans readers in favor now.
In the book of psychology these are still mental illness no matter who wants to celebrate it.
Repeatedly people have some issues leading them to this.
But ignore their cry for help and celebrate the mental illness.

Let me give one very clear example of why children do not admit to the worst abuse/molestation.
I knew a woman living with a man who suddenly put a gun to her head in front of her children.
The one was 7 years old.
She was terrified.
The reason: I will kill [who they love] if you tell.
Grooming goes from nice to threatening.
Children take a long time, and the molester/abuser out of their life to admit it.
She was 13 when she finally admitted it. Now she does drugs and is with different guys.

Abuse is a cycle and most of the time the situation is very good. This is why women get sucked into abusive relationships and do not bail out until they get broken bones and the abuser goes to jail. I know one girl when he got out of jail he wanted to get back together with her. Good she was smart enough to refuse his offer.
Women can be abusive also. In that song "Cell Block Tango" the lyrics are: "He walked into my knife, 10 times".

It is amazing how God can cause all things to work together for good. It is difficult to understand a world where He would allow things to happen. I remember corrie tan boon was approached by the worst, meanest guard at the concentration camp. He said God forgives me but do you? The answer was no, she did not. But God was able to do a work of grace in her and over time she was able to forgive him. They will be spending eternity together in Heaven where everyone loves one another.

The Lord has amazing ways.
Praying helps people. Tremendously. It pleases the Lord we pray for everyone, even enemies.
The Lord surely is saddened by loss. But free will.
There are 2 kinds of people who arise out of unfortunate circumstances.
The empathetic for others.
The bullies who hate themselves they project out.
So we have a choice to be the empathetic and help others.
Or we have the choice to see life very darkly.

Most people do not realize that. I was in recovery from surgery and I started to read the bible verses and have a positive attitude and it really helped to promote healing.
I had a pastor that said if we do not love anyone in Heaven we do not get in. We do not know for sure who is and who is not going to be in Heaven.

Is that what you said about Obama?
Sometimes God places a man in power who will bring judgment upon that nation.

Maybe.
He decides who is cursed who is blessed.
Take for instance Jezebel and King Ahab.
He was a pushover. He died.
Jezebel was disrespected as a corpse.
They were not blessed because she was into false gods, manipulation etc etc
IE - they were not following the laws of the Lord.
But those who follow Him and do things to please Him... He will bless the nation.

Also on that note: nations who follow Molech and not the Lord in regards to abortions... are seldom blessed.
It simply seems to be the problem with democrats.
Envy and over burdening taxes, abortions, pushing us out of our republic and have even wished to change the Constitution.
Removed statutes of Moses and 10 commandments. Are for everything the Bible says no to, basically.
Adults in locker rooms and bathrooms with small children.
The list is long.
Society is blindly following.

Ahab did a lot more wrong than just bring Jezebel into the nation.
But as I said, sometimes God puts a man in charge who is the curse upon the nation. For instance, as Paul wrote Romans, that man was Nero.
You don't know that man today isn't Trump.

Well, I do know the race wars and rampant homosexuality and transgenderism came with Obama, so maybe he's the curse.
Nah, gotta be the white guy who tweets mean stuff.

When push came to shove, Pence went with the Constitution and defied Trump. The republican party is not supposed to be a crime family.
