All you have to do is go back and see all the posts quoting scripture, then read the manipulative ways you explain it. It really isn't that hard.

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.

No, you should read your Bible a bit closer. God never abandoned Israel, only punished corporate Israel for transgressions. In fact, God always said that a remnant that were observant would survive, even when Elijah the prophet gave up on Israel because of Baal.
Nineveh was a gentile city that repented, showing that repentance is key to obtaining God's forgiveness. It is why when I repent, I know that God will forgive me because He showed us the way.

Nineveh was the capitol of the Assyrian Empire. The Assyrians were notorious piratical imperialists, slaughtering everyone they didn't enslave.
In point of fact they went on doing this until they were utterly destroyed by an alliance of their surviving neighbors. They never did repent, unless extermination is repentance. The Book of Jonah is a fictional tale told to make a theological point.

most cities are unrepentant however, which is why God abandons them. Free will is an very important issue as God can only help people who draw towards him..As God said in Romans, that He gave them over to a depraved mind and received the due recompense of their reward of evil..This can be especially seen in the book of Jeremiah.
Murder of the innocent, abortion, adultery, slander, lust, gluttony, gossip, abandonment, hate, divorce, sterilization, envy, pride, etc. Society is reaping their rewards. We saw it with the Jews abandonment of God with pagan idols and greed, and thus God abandoned them. We see it again in the US and other areas obsessed with greed, envy, and Babylonian discord.
Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever." - Jeremiah 17:4
Jeremiah 12:7 "I will forsake my house, abandon my inheritance; I will give the one I love into the hands of her enemies.
Jeremiah 15:14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you."

No I am not. Many who are true Christians are destroyed by Satan.
There lies the problem. MANY Christians do not know how to resist Satan.
James 4:7 (NKJV)
7 Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
You have obviously been hurt deeply, but blaming others is not a solution. God is faithful to ALL WHO BELIEVE His promises.

There can be MANY reasons for that.
I have seen God work MANY miracles. Many that many Christians wouldn't believe if I told them.

How do you know he did? There is no Hell in Judaism, which is what Christianity is based on.

okay, I have a serious question.
I'm currently (in the midst of) divorce without infidelity (for abuse, neglect, ect) but I now suspect that my spouse is/has been having relations with someone else. Does being unfaithful during a divorce *still* mean that I'm sinning for getting the divorce in the first place?

According to some, yes.
But how on earth would someone care? It's your life; do what YOU want.

Why don't you quote the passages in Jeremiah and Hosea and Isaiah where God says He will never abandon them completely?

I am starting to learn this open forum is the last place to obtain any advice regarding the word of god. I have started going to the pastors at my church and what they tell me makes sense, they show me scripturally and interpret those scriptures in a way that is logical.
There are also many here who are like that and I would PM them specifically for their ideas if you really want to get something out of this site.
Just an idea.

You realise that there is a Christian only ethics board? People with Christianity specific questions would probably get a better result there.

I really wish that someone would offer a serious response to my last question (#436). It's a major concern for me right now...

You are not sinning for getting the divorce. Your soon-to-ex obviously had no interest in saving the marriage either if he took the filings for divorce as a go-ahead to have sex with someone else.

Actually the few people that are insistent on shoving their pathetic, judgmental, manipulative, narrow minded views on others claim they are Christians. The Christian only ethics board isn't safe either sadly enough or any Christian only area on this site.

You know, if everything is really bad, there's a "Log Out" button on the bar near the top and there's a vast world you can go explore.
