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.

I do not feel bad for the non-elect. I do pray for them.
Our Master has perfect laws and he is a perfect judge. The Elect are no longer accountable to those laws while the non-elect are. And if the perfect judge has seen fit to have mercy on some and not on others than he is right whether I understand it or not.
He is always right. If man's philosophies tell me that Earth is a 100 billion years old and special revelation tells me it is only about 12,000 years old than he is right about that too.
Meditation, pondering, etc are good. Questioning gets a little too close to defiance for me. I am told that I am not even qualified to judge my brothers and sisters in Christ. How am I going to judge my Master? His thinking is "higher" than ours and our hearts are "wicked".
I recommend you read what God told Job when Job thought he would question God's actions/justice.
