Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

I would regard that quote by Peter Reidemann also to be taken out of context. This 1 Cor 5:9-13 text, imo. is talking about about judging evildoers within the local church not evildoers in the world. So, for examples, if you believe a Christian participated in wars and killed someone, if they did n...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

By contrast, take a commandment that you mention nowhere and that is God's command to care for creation. It first appears in Genesis 2 in the Garden of Eden and then later in Genesis 9 with God's covenant with NOAA where God states that he will demand an accounting from every living animal and esta...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Practically every other single bridge in the history of the US was made by the government. With very few exceptions such as the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. Why do you assume this one specifically will be a disaster or fiasco? I think the most recent big bridge reconstruction was the I-35 bridge i...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

So the answer is "No, JohnHurt did not claim that there were Confederate units filled with black soldiers." And I did not claim HE used those specific words. I claimed it was an an old historic southern myth that has long since been debunked by many historians. The mythmaking and historic...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

OK, sounds good. The quote below in its context seems to imply that JohnHurt had made some kind of a claim that there were Confederate units full of Black soldiers. I don't think that JohnHurt said anything of the kind. Second, the idea that there were Confederate units full of Black solders is one...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Reading comprehension is hard, isn't it? But for some reason you find it particularly difficult. Why is that? Quite rich coming from you... I am always happy to correct myself if I incorrectly mischaracterize what someone else here writes. Normally I quote what they write when responding to make su...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

The Civil War is actually a good example of the sorts of lies that are told in support of war. Yes, you’ve expounded at length on why the acts of gross violence perpetrated by the north are OK as long as they were for a good cause. Reading comprehension is hard, isn't it? But for some reason you fi...
