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

Mt 6:

11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Strong's Greek: 1967. ἐπιούσιος (epiousios) — 2 Occurrences

There are no known occurrences of G1967 in Greek literature prior to the New Testament.

BDAG ἐπιούσιος:
① deriving it fr. ἐπὶ and οὐσία necessary for existence
② a substantivizing of ἐπὶ τὴν οὖσαν sc. ἡμέραν for the current day, for today

ἐπί (epi) meant "on, over, at, for".
οὐσία (ousia) meant "substance, being".

The only other occurrence of G1967 was in Lk 11:

Give us each day our daily bread.
Strong's Greek: 740. ἄρτος (artos) — 97 Occurrences

BDAG ἄρτος:
① a baked product produced fr. a cereal grain, bread also loaf of bread
② any kind of food or nourishment
③ means of support, support, livelihood
④ reward for labor, reward, proceeds

My translation:

Give us this day our staple food.
