  • 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.

An infantry officer who expressed Christian views on human sexuality and other LGBT-related issues faced pressure to resign from the Idaho National Guard and was stripped of his commanding position following a complaint from a subordinate who identifies as homosexual.

Liberty Counsel, a public interest law firm, announced last Wednesday that it had notified Gov. Brad Little earlier this month about the alleged First Amendment violation. While the infantry officer is represented by R. Davis Younts, LLC, Liberty Counsel has added its voice to the man’s case, requesting a response by Friday to avoid further legal action.

According to Liberty Counsel, a subordinate senior enlisted man who identifies as homosexual filed an Equal Opportunity complaint last year against the infantry officer. The officer reportedly expressed Christian viewpoints on human sexuality and expressed opposition to “pernicious practices,” which include prescribing puberty blockers and opposite-sex hormones to children suffering from confusion about their sex.

Guys, @Ignatius the Kiwi and @chevyontheriver , it seems that all countries with Western culture are going this woke route. Prayer for the USA, NZ and countless other countries to repent of their sins. Christians should not be removed of position simply for stating the facts. The LGTV stuff belongs in the bedroom, not outside. Also, Christians should not allow LGTV folks into church leadership roles.

Yep, I made a post how we should pray for a pastor who has fallen for this worldly stuff:

Prayers for this Pastor's Repentance from worldly practices

Hello folks. Let us pray for this pastor of an unspecified church to repent of his sinful ways. Remember guys, Jesus did not eat with sinners and tax collectors because He wanted to appear tolerant of sins...He ate with them to call them all to repentance. Now, if someone wants to be a gay...

I agree. I also think so long as countries have these policies no Western Christian should join these militaries in the first place.

What makes sexuality different for LGBT. Are they a special case where the do not have to follow the same restrictions that NON LGBT people have to follow? People are going to be persecuted for their beliefs. Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

I was 26 years old before I became a Christian and no one told me what it was to be Christian. I wish they had told me something. Even the watered down version you get in the church is better than nothing.

What does it mean to be celebrate? What does it mean to live a life that honors God? What if you are LGBT, does that mean you have some sort of special permission to not be celebrate?

Some people do not have a choice. They can not afford to pay for their education so they have to join the ROTC to get a college education. The army paid for my dad to go to medical school. He said they got so much money from him in taxes that it was a very good investment for them.

@Diamond72 , I made a devotional on why LGBT is not good stuff for Christians to practice.

Celibacy for Christ:

Celibacy for Christ

Hello folks. Today's devotional hits hard, as I am a Christian bi guy, but would rather remain single and celibate to uphold Biblical teachings, unless married to a woman. Date May 30, 2024 | Celibacy for Christ Verse 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 (NIV): "It is God’s will that you should be...

I do agree with you there, but we must take a nuanced approach as well. But yes, we got to shut down the wokeness.

My son recently left. Lots of other officers and enlisted are also leaving. They can recruit among the woke all they want but they're just not getting the recruits. The Chinese just need to bide their time.

The Chinese have all their own problems without having to worry about ours. They do not want us to interfere with their internal affairs. That is why for 100 years all business went though Hong Kong.

It does not even belong there. We need to reintroduce laws that prohibit sodomy.

That might cause a war between Christians and atheists. But, we should write laws against transgenderism, and shut down pride month.

America is supposed to be somewhat free.

Freedom does not extend to sexual perversion, which is why historically sodomy was illegal.

There already is a 'war' of sorts between Christians and atheists (one which we are losing, obviously). Remember the Psalmist's observation: "The fool has said in his heart 'There is no God.'"
