Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events
As an aside, I find it really annoying how plain people refer to a “Junior” as if we’re all supposed to know who that is. I have literally been asked, “Do you know Junior?” Junior who? I provably know 50 “Juniors”.

Re: War in Gaza
Israel isn’t interested in “negotiating with terrorists,” which was once SOP/Standard Operating Procedure, thought to be necessary to prevent terrorism. Why does this not apply to Hamas? If you want a ceasefire, you have to negotiate. Israel has killed a lot more civilians than Hamas has. Israel’s ...

Re: War in Gaza
The operation in Iraq was much larger scale. Of course, it didn’t work in the long run. How are you measuring scale? Air drops of food. Sending ships across the Atlantic to build a pier. Etc. The operation in Iraq saw many ships sent over along with massive airlifts in many large cargo planes.

Is there somewhere Jesus tells us to do what Paul Graham teaches?

News is reporting that Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal: https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-hamas-war-humanitarian-aid-8659eae6e0a7362504f0aa4aa4be53e0 And that Israel and Netanyahu are the obstacles and announcing their rejection of a ceasefire. I'm curious to see if intern...

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events
When Pilgrimsplit from EPMC they would NEVER have supported a web page. Not judging but clearly their standards have moved sufficiently from Eastern that some are not happy….hence the creation of Northeast Conference The Internet didn't exist in the way we think of it today in 1991. It's curious to...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Where does the Bible say we have to accept as authorities on topics of morality people who are anti-Christian? The Bible talks about sins of speech, but it doesn’t say I have to accept as a moral authority in righteousness every person who makes claims to be one. And the Bible does teach we should a...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Of course, some people want to divorce their poor character from their...
