• 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.

Understanding, "lots"...

People cast lots to learn God's will, but God himself determines the answer.

I want to know... is this verse still relevant? I cast lots with my spirit... different items/dice. What do you guys think of this verse, and how it applies to you!

:)
Never heard of such a thing. The Roman soldiers cast lots , I dont think Christians follow suit or follow such Jewish traditions.
Blessings.

I don't cast lots. That can limit my choices to what I can think up. God can guide us while arranging things around us, better than we can manage things . . . or even imagine what to do.

And lots can make God distant. We can have Him in us guiding us.
