Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
I don’t think pointing out someone is of poor character is “as hominem”. Basically. I don’t think people of poor character and with a fundamentally anti-Christian worldview are the right place to go for either the truth or facts. Of course, some people want to divorce their poor character from their...

Re: A great analogy for Anabaptist church/state understanding
Putting aside the political figures discussed or this former pastor's Nov vote choice, I thought his analogy of ambassadorship was very good... I'm not sure what branch of Christianity he comes from, but he almost sounds like an Anabaptist. The ambassador for Christ analogy occupies about the middl...

Re: War in Gaza
America loves doing that. Iraq, Afghanistan. “Hearts and minds.” It is called the Three Block something or other. The first block is the fighting, The next block is the securing the infrastructure and the third block is humanitarian, if I am remembering it right. The US military used this in all th...

Re: War in Gaza
I would be rather surprised if George Soros were paying anyone to engage in anti-Israeli protesting, given that Soros has a long history of promoting pro-Israeli policy. I guess I could see him conducting a “false flag”?

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
For example, here on this forum it took me only a couple of minutes to find these examples of posters here using the term to describe people who have not yet been convicted of felonies in a court of law. Josh and Grace have objected to Trump being described as a criminal because he has not yet been...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
We have a variety of folks here that like to think through things and I hope this subject can be discussed in a mature manner and not get political more than it has to be. I was recently made aware of most likely the biggest drug problem we have in American in Kensington Philidelphia, which is clos...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
But I think there's a deep skepticism that facts exist at all. I think absolute truth exists and is embodied in Jesus, the Logos. I also think “facts” exist as a subset of this. I am sceptical of fact gatekeepers - people like Paul Graham, who inform me that a man can turn into a woman and two men ...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
The simple fact is that neither Biden nor Trump are “criminals”.

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
Al Mohler is a Reformed theologian; needless to say he has a very different perspective than Anabaptists do.

Ken,
None of those were crimes. They were civil actions, most of them private.
