    How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

    This is nonsense.

    How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

    While being armed is practical advice for one's protection, nowhere in the Bible does Jesus suggest this to his disciples. In fact, in Matthew 26:52, Jesus immediately rebukes Peter when he says to him, “Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” There...

    How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

    This was not a call to arms, the purpose of the sword found in Luke 22:36 was to fullfill prophesy. And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.” And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money...

    Trump Orders Federal Law Enforcement to Patrol D.C.: ‘Plagued by Violent Crime for Far Too Long’

    That would be standard procedure when there are allegations of misconduct against a member of law enforcement. It doesn't prove anything one way or the other.

    What is Trump doing in Washington? Isn't crime at 30 year low?

    That would be a good example if such a statement had been made.

    What is Trump doing in Washington? Isn't crime at 30 year low?

    I have no idea, but there are quite a few members on this forum who take allegations* as facts and often post them as such. *statements or claims that have not yet been proven true

    What is Trump doing in Washington? Isn't crime at 30 year low?

    These are unproven allegations.

    What is Trump doing in Washington? Isn't crime at 30 year low?

    That's from 2023. The violent crime rate in D.C. is 228 per 100,000 residents for the year to date. The homicide rate is down to 14.3 per 100,000 residents for the year to date.

    Israel's Security Cabinet approves plan for Israeli military to take over Gaza City

    The types of food seen in that video are not what's being brought into Gaza. Nonperishable items like flour, rice, sugar, oil, and some ready-to-eat meals are what's on the aid trucks. The food in that video wasn't stolen from trucks entering Gaza. The IDF Arabic spokesperson unveiled dramatic...

    Israel's Security Cabinet approves plan for Israeli military to take over Gaza City

    I've seen a few videos of armed men hijacking aid trucks, but there's no evidence that those taking them are Hamas or that armed gangs stealing aid is a widespread problem. Who's to say those armed men aren't Gaza civilians who acquired weapons and are just trying to ensure that aid is getting...

    Israel's Security Cabinet approves plan for Israeli military to take over Gaza City

    Even if every single truck entering Gaza was looted by hungry people, the people would still be starving. Yet some random guy on the internet does? How do you know whether or not those armed individuals in the videos you have seen are Hamas? Btw, there's no evidence of widespread theft of...

    I gave some examples of what Israel could do earlier in the thread, but the immediate step Israel should take at this point is agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza from all available sources. This should be followed by agreeing to a complete withdrawal of...

    There are more than 2 million people living in Gaza; half are children, and all are suffering living under Hamas' control and Israel's response to the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack. These people are not Hamas; they are people trapped in an unimaginable situation. Making the claim that there...

    Hamas is a terrorist group that is an enemy to both Israel and the Palestinian people. Hamas, along with the other terrorist groups operating in the Palestinian territories, must be eradicated. That being said, Israel has and continues to take steps that are counterproductive in achieving that...
