  • 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

Do any of the early church fathers link John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14?

Most of the bibles with cross references that I have, do link Exodus 3:14 and John 8:58 but I wonder if any of the early church fathers made that link.
Did they have reference Bibles?

They did not have bible references, but they were able to remember verses and quote them because they were well versed in the holy scriptures more so than many a participant on CF :)

That leave you about 400 books to go through if you are looking at the first 3 centuries.

I will look into this for you if I am able (I will know tomorrow - please pray for me).
