(a) In America those who seek less government are universally described as being on the “Right”. Those who seek more are universally referred to as “Leftists”. I don’t have time to look up an article about this fact, but it applies from coast to coast and has been used since before anyone now living can remember. It is simply how we do things. Both Fascism and Communism seek more government, therefore in America they are both referred to as “Left”. I don’t insist that you do so, I’m simply explaining that every American does so.
(b) The American Mike from New York clarified to the American Jim from Lincoln, Nebraska that Fascism and Communism are “both leftist ideologies”. The foreigner Fawsley then inserted himself into the conversation insisting that the one American was not clarifying something to the other American based on his own non-American perspective. This happened on a website that may begin with www, but ends in .com (not .au, .can, .deu or .uk) and is run by an American company with primarily American commenters. Others are very, very, welcome- but to claim that it is inappropriate for one American to use an American manner of speech to a fellow American on an American-based website, is, quite frankly, ridiculous! Good Night, and God Bless! |

It is illogical to conflate a different method of philosophical classification with ignorance of the philosophies being classified. Sorting objects by color rather than by shape, (or vice versa) does not make one ignorant of the objects’ other atributes. So too, our political scale of Freedom vs Statism does not make us oblivious to the nuanced differences between various political systems. Also, your oversimplified, broad-brushed view of American Political understanding is no excuse for arrogance.
We could indeed go into the various differences between every particular member of the human race, but that’s hardly within the scope of a comment board.
As for German property rights, you are rather correct... except for the millions of Jews and Politicals that were stripped of not just property but also life, which is by no means a minor detail.
Marx never ruled a country. Are we then unable to draw any conclusion from the universal failure of every attempt to apply his philosophy? If a scientist draws up a hypothesis and then dies before he can test it, can it never be disproven?
At any rate, I hope we can both agree that neither philosophy takes human sin nature into account, and I doubt either of us would like to live under either of them. |

“you can't tell me different, there are women PROPHETS and PROPHETS TEACH ...”
1. God did not make all women Prophets, only a select few. We should not use a rarity to create a common practise.
2. The word we translate as “prophetess” also means someone gifted in song or poetry, a “Mrs. Prophet”, or someone who can simply tell the future by divine inspiration. It does not always imply a teaching role.
3. You assume that they taught men- history suggests that IF any active teaching was done, it was instructing other women.
4. The Prophetesses of the Bible behaved quiet differently then the Prophets. Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah and others traveled around the country, expounding the Word God had given them. Deborah and Huldah, on the other hand, simply answered when men came to them and asked questions. The only time Deborah went out on a mission was at a man’s request.
5. When interpreting Scripture, biographies do not trump direct commands. The patriarchs’ multiple wives do not legitimize polygamy. Prophetesses not withstanding, Women are not to teach in church. Period. |

(TMC) @ Youth in Asia
“The opinion here in China...”
Having grown up in the Christian Homeschool Movement, where the highest concentration of large, Christian, families resides, I can tell you why we love children:
Children are a blessing from the Lord! Contrary to popular belief, families who reject contraception do not have unlimited numbers of children- some don’t have any, others only have a few, and others have around 10. The reason being that it is the Lord who opens and closes the womb, no Human Being is “accidentally” conceived outside of His will. Why would or should we try to actively prevent recieving a gift from the Lord? More horrifically, why would we murder (through abortion inducing contraception, or surgical abortion) someone the Lord sent us as a blessing, so we could “better serve Him”? Parenthood IS ministry of the highest order, so to think that children take away from that, is a fundamental misunderstanding of what ministry is.
As to the “Dominion” charge, it must first be determined what is meant by “dominion”. Do we pray that our children will be found in the faith? Yes. Do we pray that the Lord will use them in whatever type of work He calls them to? Yes. Do we pray that they will start some sort of “Christian Empire”? Absolutly Not! |

Wow, poor Dave! Maybe they’d also feature the Peanuty Plague from our church for opening a new Nail Biting Demon Exorcism Center! 
BTW, I meant to ask earlier, but isn’t being “filled with The Spirit” AND posssed by bad-habit demons rather contradictory?! |

“And they shouldn’t use [unnamed] sources. They should put the name of the person.”
The all around hypocrisy on this issue is breath taking. For the last 8 years the media was fine with Obama’s record setting prosecution of whistleblowers, now whistleblowers are amazing super heroes. On the flip side, conservatives were outraged when Obama tried to exclude Fox News from the Press Pool, now similar behavior is appluded as keeping out “fake news”. Sheryl Attkinson was held up as a hero when her computer was hacked because she would not reveal her sources, now that behavior is coupled with “dishonesty” by the President. When the National Enquirer used un-named sources to write multiple stories on Trump’s contenders for the Primary, he insisted that those stories had to be responded to. Beyond that, he himself consistantly uses faulty appeals to un-named “experts”, “the best -”, “names everyone would recognize”, etc. If he actually thinks names should be named, perhaps he could start with his own circle and send that memo to Alex Jones- who is the king of “un-named source” reporting. Strong Leaders lead by example, and they don’t waste their time whining about the media. Show, don’t tell. |

@Dave
LOL!
@Christopher000
How Good and Great our God is! Our family almost joined a Charismatic church when I was young, but the Lord used various things to prevent us. Perhaps (and hopefully) the Lord will soften this man’s heart at some point- though there’s no sign of that yet. It’s one more thing we should be praying for!
Blessings!  |

@Dave
Thank you for the offer- though I think funding your flight may put us in a legal bind depending on the “getting gone” method you used! To use your parlance- This guy’s a Giant Peanut! We just need some grouse praying! |

@Kev
Thank you! Hopefully this creepy weirdness comes to a very non-climactic, un-cinema worthy ending!
@Lurker
LOL! Somehow I think he’d decline that offer! He’s a real piece of work. Our church leadership has met with him twice, calmly going over scriptures, and asking him to leave- but he’s responded like a brick wall. Our Elder thought he made everything clear when they met last week, but he had the gall to show up last Sunday, and then say he’ll be back Sunday after next. The guy’s arrogance is boundless. You would think he’d have picked up some humility in his 70 some years of life- but apparently not.
