  • 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.

Did Christ's teachings include bringing in a culture from another nation which practices fraud and tribalism and stealing billions of taxes from us

Jesus never addressed the nations or cultures of man. And as Paul wrote, "there is neither Jew nor Greek." In Christ, we are one. There is no American or Somali in His kingdom.

And what of those who were members of the Minnesota government who knew about the fraud, covered for it, and benefited from it? Let's say people like Ilan Omar and Tim Waltz?
All you have to do is prove in a court of law that this actually happened.

Though I have to say, it's cute when a Trump supporter pretends to be concerned with fraud.

There are lots of cultures all over the world that live in sinful practices. There are also cultures of people who have immigrated to nations without assimilating to that nation.

Perhaps Christians in America should be more careful as to whom we invite into the USA. Perhaps Christians in every nation ought not invite people whom won't assimilate into that nation.
Didn't know Jesus placed qualifiers on taking care of the least of us. What verses are those? All across American different cultures have their pockets of communities. Little Italy scattered across the east coast Little Poland in Chicago. Korean Towns all over. Pockets of Ukrainian Churches and markets where I live in the Seattle area. Every culture does in America. To NOT take care of the least of us IS a sinful practice according to Jesus.

The Somalian fraud and tribalism was going on long before Trump. That is what happens when you import the third world into your country in mass, give them welfare to make them comfortable, and have zero expectation for them to assimilate. They bring they bring the third world with them and replicate it where they are.

What is third world about this fraud scheme? Because fraud is as old as commerce and plenty of it existed here long before any Somalis immigrated. These were business owners ( not welfare recipients) taking advantage of a program that was not well regulated. Also, the Fraud was not limited to Somali owned businesses.
