Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

Do you have any evidence the “criminal record” is having a cellphone at school or being arrested for jaywalking? If those offences happened before 18 they would be juvenile records anyway and not show up on a criminal background check. You keep saying “kids”. Now, if we’re talking about adults… adul...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

That’s quite an attack, jahertz. I see a distinct lack of Christian charity in this thread. I have met and spent plenty of time with both JM and jahertz, sat around a bonfire and chatted, spent the night at their house, talked on the phone for hours, and so on. I think it is perfectly reasonable to ...

I don’t know how to get a transcript or know what Copilot is. How?
You can cut and paste a transcript on YouTube.

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

And what is wrong with that? Take my hypothetical example of a minimum speed regulation that inadvertently excludes the Amish from our public roads. There was no intent to discriminate against the Amish. In fact, no one was even thinking about them when the regulation was written. Yet such a regula...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

Yes, it is extremely well documented that poor Black kids are frequently subject to criminalization for activities that are not criminalized for kids whose are White and middle class. Everything from trivial issues of school discipline to things like walking on the street, driving with a broken tai...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I'll ask again. No weasel words please. Have you stopped beating your wife yet? Why not simply answer the question with a yes or no? If you refuse to give a direct answer, why? What are you trying to hide? I asked a direct question and you've refused to answer it. Haven't even acknowledged it. That...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

If you call me “reformed” I will expect you to justify it through actual reformed doctrinal sources. I doubt you are familiar with any of them. Fortunately, there's an easy way to clear this up: Do you agree with reformed theology? Yes or no? No. Don’t affirm any of the 5 major points of Calvinism,...

Re: Preparation for Baptism

There is definitely an NT scriptural basis for both church membership and regular church attendance. I’m not sure why so many Christians are opposed to such things.

Re: Preparation for Baptism

I'm open to baptizing someone the same day, or take 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, whatever it takes to get a person ready for baptism. I've never understood why churches feel a need to have a set period of time for baptism preparation such as, no shorter than _____ and not longer than ________. I think...
