  • 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

You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not let the salt of the covenant with your God be lacking from your grain offering.

That was God’s instruction in Leviticus (2:13). Salt was poured on the offering to prevent decay and corruption. It prevented the ancient Hebrews from giving the Lord a second-rate and therefore unacceptable sacrifice.

For several centuries, up until 1970, blessed salt was placed in an infant’s mouth by the priest at baptism. It was the infant’s first taste of blessed food, a precursor to the Holy Eucharist, and prepared the salted infant to be a living sacrifice to God.
