  • 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.

Mt 18:

20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.
two
δύο (dyo)
Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural
Strong's 1417: Two. A primary numeral; 'two'.

It was an adjective functioning as a substantive (noun). G1417 was actually indeclinable. The masculine gender was associated with the masculine participle 'gathered'.

NASB 1977, Lk 17:

34 I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.
The word 'men' was not in the Greek manuscript. NASB 1977 took the masculine gender from the words 'one' and 'other'.

NASB 1995:

I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
It could refer to two males, two females, or one male and one female.

Jesus speaks of his second coming and the suddenness of his return. He uses vivid imagery to describe how people will go about their daily lives when he arrives—some will be taken, and others will be left.

Does anyone try to use this verse to prove that Jesus didn't preach against homosexuality? :D
