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.

John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Deut 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me
This is simply a reflection that one learns much from one's father, a problem as most fathers are sinners ... it does not mean one is responsible for one's father's sins, each has his own conscience to God of Love [so much for the nonsense of 'original sin' !]...
Deuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

If you noticed by now, the discussions are simply going around in circles.
Funtimes keep quoting the same verses over and over, gets refuted over and over, but learning not one bit despite we all seem to be agreeing in the same context.
We are clearly not welcome here... ...While Jesus is persistent with the Truth, He is not that obsessively persistent to stalk and torture anyone with the Truth until they believe. There are times, Jesus simply stopped if no one would listen and simply moved on to more "fertile" ground.

Logic, go figure
Good answer.
Which is right in line with what PA just said.
So who tempts one to sin?
And who "kills, steals, and destroys"?
Very cool stories!
We belong to HIM,
frankly, I trust Him to do as He
pleases with me, HIS property.
All of these years and He's been good to me.
