  • 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.

Trump's Easter message.

I like his official one a whole lot better:


This Easter Sunday, the First Lady and I join with Christians all across our Nation and around the world in rejoicing in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, whose triumph over sin and victory over death secured the promise of redemption and the hope of eternal life for all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior.

Sunday, we proclaim with joy that Christ has risen, a new creation has been ushered in, and evil and death have been conquered forever through the unmatched power of God’s sacrificial love.

When Jesus Christ rose from His earthly tomb on Easter morning, He restored our grace, washed our sins, and reconciled humanity with God—fulfilling the ancient prophecy that “He was pierced for our sins, crushed for our iniquity … by His wounds we were healed.” His suffering won our victory, His love brings us life, and His Resurrection is our everlasting hope.
IF that was written by Trump, I would like to start collecting royalties I've been missing out on please. Finally I can start getting some of that sweet "Harry Potter" money JK has been illegally withholding from me!

Dude hasn't even asked God for forgiveness...and here he's posting about "Washing our sins".

Christians should be using discernment with Trump.

Unhinged. Dangerous. Offensive.

Keep out of sunlight, no water, and never feed after midnight.

1) Those are not his "own words". He is reading something that there is NO WAY he has written. He doesn't even go off script. THAT is NOT Trump.

IT's more than a flaw. He is manipulating Christians with messages like this but with actions that 100% belie anything close to Christ's message.

It's a hollow empty message coming from him.

Is any megalomanic at fault, or is the onus on those who enable them? He is free to be who he wants to be.
Of COURSE they aat fault. But those that enable him are at fault too.

there can be more than one to blame.

If he trully is "free to be who he wants to be"....why WOULDN'T he be at fault?

I didn't say he was. He is just being himself, like we all are. It is the enablers by choice, that are responsible for making a mountain out of an ordinary molehill.

Well, and those that voted for him, I suppose.

Ears are being tickled.
It's what I can hope for but honestly, I could see it being really REALLY REALLY hard to own up to realizing the con.

What's that saying?
It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they're being fooled. (Twain).

Honestly though, I think people realize it earlier but don't want to change what they're doing because that is kind of error is an extreme vulnerability...and nobody wants to be seen like that. I don't think the left's response to trump voters admitting thier mistakes and regretting it is overly beneficial as they dump on them pretty hard.

I understand the frustration in hearing these stories of regret and I feel it too, but the most important thing is what happens move forward. What did they LEARN from their mistake. What will be done differently.

I was particularly impressed with Trump's "Praise be to Allah," particularly on Easter Sunday.

Just imagine if Obama had ever Tweeted anything close to that.
Some Trump supporters thinks, that Allah is a demon. Even though it means God in some countries.

Which means that at some level you liked his public announcement to the world? You know, the comments which neither of us can repeat in this forum? Comments which if were said in your house in front of your family you'd throw the guy out on his ear? Those comments?

That's not credible.

Why aren't you very embarrassed by them? Explain that to me. Let us hear your excuses.

once again - personally attacking and targeting me will get you no where fast. Following me from thread to thread with your myriad of comp[laints on what I post and what you think I believe are quite tiresome and has earned you the place3 on the ignore list.

Go find someone else to complain to - this window is closed.

"He is risen" wasn't mentioned.

As far as the speaker goes, he is sinking. Sinking in the polls. Sinking in the eyes of the world. Sinking into a quagmire of sin and depravity. Trying (not entirely successfully) to drag many of his decreasing numbers of supporters with him.

I am not quoting the words of his speech. I am speaking of the truthful emotions it elicits.

If that's not a feel-good message for believers and non-believers alike, I don't know what is!
“No. Stop. Don’t.” won’t work so we might as well enjoy what we can from it.
If one doesn’t find that possible (for oneself), then be mindful that he’s quickly approaching his “Lonesome Rhodes” moment. It’s inevitable.

Trump has harnessed the truly real power of Faith for his own ends. Of course people of faith love that. Many would still like to be more like Trump than Someone Else. They’ll be okay. They’re still good people. (Hard watching it happen though)
