• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

… "where was the “Hebrew of the Hebrews” that first Passover when the Lord whom Saul was seeking, suddenly came to His temple (cf. Mal 3:1)? And where was Saul the “final” Passover three years later when “Jesus entered into the temple of God , and [again] cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves” (Matthew 21:12)? From Paul there is only silence!”…

Probably not relevant to Luke when he wrote his gospel and Acts, and not to Paul in any of the letters he wrote to the churches.

The words of Scripture are measured, never more than required ─ every one for a purpose. So, I am reluctant to say: “probably not relevant” then or now ─ but rather that I am yet to understand some marvelous new truth.

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever” (Isa 40:8).
