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.

Always sort of wondered what the meaning behind the words "we are more than conquerors" was. But in verse 36 Paul was quoting from Psalms 44:22, and when you compare both Chapters of scripture, what he was saying was that all the sufferings we go through - all the afflictions and hardships we experience as Christians - make us greater than mere conquerors on the battlefield. Certainly we face our spiritual enemy every day, personally and sometimes even publicly. But we will be remembered for far more than just that. It reminds me of George Washington, whose armies not only emerged victorious in the war against the British during the American Revolution, but who stood his post during one of the harshest winters in US history when many of his men were deserting him. At Valley Forge, they endured being insufficiently clothed (what scripture calls "nakedness") and hunger (what Romans 8:36 calls "famine") while the British army enjoyed warmth and plenty of food. But the American Army emerged victorious, making them more than merely conquerors.
Hopefully this is our testimony when we go on to be with God; that we endured all manner of hardships in fighting the good fight of faith, and didn't just overcome the enemy but overcame him even amidst the worst hardships, proving just how faithful we were to God, and how worthy we are of honor in eternity.
Thanks for the post, and God bless.

yes! I love relating scripture to true stories- it keeps it alive in another way, and re emphasizes it's Truth!! What a great comparison.
