  • 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'm curious to find out if throughout church history, the lesson I see in Jonah, particularly the fourth chapter, has ever been practically applied. There was a prophecy of judgment against Nineveh, and the city was spared. Does anyone know of a subsequent occasion which would qualify?

Are you asking if there are any examples of cities (or states/provinces, or countries) that were saved from judgement by repentance and prayer? If so I would suggest that some of the battles against Muslim invasion may qualify. Take a look at the Battle of Lepanto.

Ah thank you! On my way.
