  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    What Are Your User Name Settings?

    This is going to take some getting used to! Very fancy :D My effects are all on default, I think - I didn't realise there was so much you could do with them. I might have a bit of a fiddle with them and see what I can make them do. Emma

    King James Version

    Thats what I was getting at :) Its an easy trap to fall into, particularly if you really really want to know something about the text, but don't have the knowledge of Greek or hebrew to read it for yourself, then to use an interlinear, and then look up definitions and so think you "know" exactly...

    King James Version

    Using an interlinear is a good way to make yourself seem as though you know Greek (or Hebrew) without actually having to get a thorough understanding of the language. You can look up the English translation underneath, then find whatever Greek word you have a problem with, and look that up in...

    Lucifer: Fallen Angel or Fallen King??

    Personally, I've always taken the Isaiah reference to the Day Star as referring to a man, not Satan. My reasons for thinking this are: 1) Isaiah says that the Day Star said: "I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God" (v13) yet Job has Satan already in heaven, acting as a servant of God...

    Love Feast

    I've wondered about what a "love-feast" was for a while. Ever since I was researching the meaning of "agape" and all the lexicons came up with "love-feast" as both a use, and a definition of the word! Interesting posts, Emma
