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.

That's a sneaky way of calling me dishonest. This thread is directly related to the events in Milwaukee. My post was directly related to that. No slight of hand. Just a truthful commentary via a meme on the real state of affairs there. And it's happened several times before. Still, that's not the point. Read the OP.

Are you implying that I am claiming "to be Gods right hand man" or are you " Gods right hand man" ?
If it the former than please elaborate on how you came to that conclusion.

True, the church didn't do those things, but they did hitch a ride to a place of safety where the church could be nourished and grow. God provided a place of safety for the church and the fulfillment of his promise to Abraham at the same time. Pretty neat.

Perhaps, but I cant say really. Its a tough world we live in and that much I know. I also know I need to do like Paul says, rejoice in the Lord and think about good and lovely things, things true and praiseworthy. I like to meditate on such things as stillness and refuge in the Lord.

My son took a layoff last winter too, but this season has a lot of work. Finishers are in short supply where he lives, in fact the company asked if he knew any others as they needed several more. He told me that $35 was union scale there. He got his experience working for small non-union companies that paid him $20 an hour. It took years of my badgering him to shop himself around to larger companies but his loyalty held him back. Thankfully he overcame this as he has a family to support. I'm so proud of that kid that I'm tearing up.

People put unions down but frankly without a union people often don't get paid what they deserve. We don't have any unions here and the wages are low. I have close relationships with people in the construction industry and know what these huge, celebrity homes are being bid at and it is not going in the pockets of the guys who do the work.My son took a layoff last winter too, but this season has a lot of work.

God gives us the knowledge and ability to navigate our way safely regardless of who 'we' elect as leaders. Some evil person is going to fill these offices. It's no sin to attempt to elect the lesser of evils.
