  • 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.

NIV, Ex 35:

3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.
ESV:

You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day.”
How did they keep warm on the Sabbath day?

The Israelites prepared for the Sabbath by lighting fires or heating their homes before it began at sundown on Friday. Once the Sabbath started, they could not light or extinguish fires, so they relied on slow-burning fires. The prohibition on kindling fire meant they couldn’t actively refuel the fire, so they would need to put on extra clothing or sit around the hearth.
