  • 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.

The officials of King Jehoiakim alerted Baruch in Jeremiah 36:

19b “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”
Later:

26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the LORD hid them.
Who hid Jeremiah and Baruch?

From the horizontal point of view, they hid themselves. From the vertical point of view, the LORD did. Both are true. This dual perspective—both the actions of the individuals involved and God's sovereign protection—reflects a common theme in Scripture where human responsibility coexists with divine providence.

Some time later (Jer 37), Zedekiah was king. Irijah, the captain of the guard, accused Jeremiah of being a deserter and imprisoned him. This narrative continued to demonstrate the difficulties the prophet encounters, yet it also emphasized God’s ongoing presence and guidance in Jeremiah's life.
