CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Concerning Luke 2:21-24:
On the eighth day after Messiah Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary had Jesus circumcised. This could have been done by a rabbi at Bethlehem or in Jerusalem:
On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before...

Jn 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

A mother’s a woman
who gave birth to a child
and ideally she’s one
who is meek and is mild.
She nurtures her children
And she puts them to bed
She feeds them their spinach
Making sure that they’re fed
Making sure that they’re safe
Keeps them under her care
Teaches them what they need
So that...
The fugitives from Ariyah searching for the new country where they could settle came down further along the descent, and nearer to where all the growth of plants they had seen, which grew thickly along a creek that flowed swiftly to the left.

And romance may not hang around,
And prettiness not always be,
Especially when two become three.
Love depends not on emotions...
