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.

I am not sure if this topic is still being watched, but I really like Hebrew history. The ephod was a type of apron worn by the Jewish high priest. It's fascinating to look at.

The prophets were the shepherds of the nation of Israel and the shepherd's staff is used to guide the sheep in the direction of green pastures and water. The prophet's staff then, I believe, can be taken as an instrument of this symbolism...by extension.
In Psalm 23 we read, Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. You lead me into green pastures and by the still waters.
The rod is, I believe, the nudging, prodding use of the staff...sometimes a bit harsher means...to bring the fold into line when being led, whereas the staff is the leading tool pointing the way of sorts.
