  • 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

    Writing Scripture

    update: I am able to write a few verses a day in Hebrew. Sometimes just one verse. Sometimes none. But, I have not stopped. I think it helps that I left my notebook out on the table beside my computer :) Anyway, it's slow going because I also look at the meanings of the Hebrew words, made much...

    is there a homeschool forum here?

    If they do make one, it should only be for people who are interested in homeschooling. No detractors coz it would just ruin the experience for those who are just trying to teach their kids

    Christian home-schoolers revolt by enrolling their own kids in public school

    and the reason is: because they did not want to spread out, they disobeyed and wanted to stay put. God actually instructed His people to be set apart from the Canaanites and other groups so they will not embrace their cultures of worshipping other gods, and sacrificing babies.

    Writing Scripture

    well, it's been a while since I first felt like I wanted to type out the Scriptures so I dont remember if I set out to do it precisely for those but I knew it would help me abide better lol. all those sound really good. and no, I have no ambition to rule over anything or anyone.

    Bible Study Friends?!!

    So I chose to make a subreddit for a group study instead of starting one here mainly because reddit has nested comments so it is easier to follow the flow of multiple thoughts per chapter. Reddit - Dive into anything I shared a super cool video that digs deep on the Hebrew words of Genesis...

    Writing Scripture

    Deuteronomy 17:18-19. “When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levites. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and...

    meaningful verses in genesis 8

    idk how Lamech is connected but okay :) building altars probably began when Adam and Eve got animal skins for a covering. I imagine they were really grateful to God for it and then were like, now what do we do with this dead animal remains? offer it back to Him? we see them doing...

    Writing Scripture

    yes, I was not quite expecting to be criticized for wanting to pursue a spiritual discipline in the spiritual discipline forums lol but I was also overly zealous and lost some people I might have won so I understand. Balance is so tricky and abiding and knowing His will is not easy. I am going...

    Writing Scripture

    yeah... it sounded like: you think you have good standing with God but you never thought of reaching out to the lost. I meant that if you are in a level high enough to be judging others, you should know that if you are not firmly grounded in the Word when you storm the gates of hell then it's...

    Bible Study Friends?!!

    I find patterns very important. Our local bible study leader always emphasizes God patterns. He isn't in the reddit.. yet. I love discovering the chasms in the OT.

    Bible Study Friends?!!

    Hi Liz! I was actually thinking I would like to start a whole forum or something for studying the whole Bible hahaha idk how feasible that is but something like a subforum per book of the Bible but I imagine it could get complicated if we did a chapter per thread. Update: I created a subreddit...

    Thank you... I do not have a good track record though. Tried typing it before too but thank you for your support! I will strive to stick to it better this time

    Writing Scripture

    It is a spiritual discipline like spending quiet time. The kings of Israel were required to do it, most likely so that they will be more equipped to judge with the mind of YHVH or as close as can be humanly possible anyways. I love stepbible.org for the interlinear and cross references. Thank...
