One example I can think of is regarding Indigenous (Native American) history. It's all packaged very nicely as a story of Columbus the Benevolent and everyone hanging out eating turkey, buying and selling, and living alongside one another until them Indians got all crazy and started scalping...

How does the verse in question suggest that foodstuffs were not taken onto the ark for sustenance, such as dried or cured meats along with other plant based food?

Salmon is very popular here with First Nations communities, and I enjoy it smoked and/or dried. I've also been to some F.N. gatherings where it'stypically on the menu - just delicious. I also recall many years ago out East having some delicious swordfish. Nothing else really seems to compare so...

I had the honor of knowing my maternal Great-Grandmother who passed away when I was 18. A beautiful lady and a wonderful Christian.

This is eggactly why I typically eggnore eggstremes on both sides, whether one is convinced COVID will never end, or another is convinced COVID is a non-eggsistent evil conspiracy designed to have us act eggactly like lemmings. :unsure: When someone in our circle is directly efeggted by this...

Typically after prayer. Although "Amen to that!" makes it's way into day-to-day conversation at times

I watched a bit of this, and one comment that stood out (where I stopped to post this...) is where she mentions "being rooted in morals and convictions" as if the morals and convictions one should hold are universal. It's the same type of black-and-white thinking that pro0mpted this thread. In...

And so are the mothers cheap to condemn and move on. But when you have to look them in the eye and help them process grief and trauma the true cost shows up. "cheap to kill" is a statement of the misinformed

Is God so powerless that He will not freely accept that child into His House? THAT is also horrendous

What I don't agree with is a label of anti-abortion merely for my pro-life views. In saying that, what I'm asking for is the "nuanced conversation" that the other side says it wants. This is the exact quote used by a pro-choice advocate while previously referring to people like me as...

And this comes back to the original point-the idea that being pro-life is anti_____. It's a subjective judgment. Pro-life advocates can still recognize, without condoning, the free choice granted to women to abort. And they can, AND SHOULD, support women, men, and families affected by any...

"Original meanings" are subjective, just as someone using the term "anti-abortion" to refer to me since I am pro-life is not correct. It's a subjective judgment Okay, I would agree with this. Here's where the trouble comes in. The assumption that a "blind eye" has been turned. Further, that...

No. I'm suggesting that the black-and-white thinking we bring to the debate needs closer examination

One who is pro-life, but provides birth control may be supporting what is called "harm reduction". Abstaining is one form of it; however, if a person holds back on providing birth control and education for a woman (or man) who has made it clear that sexual activity is something they are actively...

That's where I think the clarity needs to be. Being tagged as "anti" does suggest, to me, a bias or hate that isn't (necessarily) there

Just some clarity - the original question is in regards to one who is "Pro-Life" being "Anti-Abortion". Are they one and the same? Why or why not? *Disclaimer - the timing of this thread and the recent events in the State of Texas are coincidence only. I was not aware of, nor am I aware of now...

In the full context of the verse, how do you see this fitting? The one who does not "choose life" has served/is serving "the gods which (the) fathers served"? What of a person who is pro-life, but respects the dignity of a person's inherent right to choose?

My question, again. I know this is a "charged" topic

What might factor in to deciding what is 'best'? Might it be mom's health, health of the baby, socio-cultural issues? Can you clarify what you mean here? So, for those who might be 'pro-life', how do you view them? Are they (by default) anti-abortion, or do you see it differently?
