• 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.

Le 19:

12 You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.

In ancient Israelite society, oaths were taken seriously.

An example in Ex 22:

10 If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to be cared for by his neighbor, but it dies or is injured or stolen while no one is watching,

no witnesses

11 an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor’s property. The owner shall accept the oath and require no restitution.

The owner assumed the oath as the truth unless proven otherwise.

12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.

What was the consequence if someone swore falsely?

He profaned the name of the Lord. He sinned not only against the man whom he wronged but also against God. There was reciprocal punishment for false witnesses. De 19:

18 The judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, 19 then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. 20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you. 21 Your eye shall not pity. It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
