https://ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf01.html I no longer have to carry my 5 pound laptop around to read the ECFs with PDF files! In the mobile option epubs are available. I can make the letters as big as I want on my phone! Scans are really hard to read when your screen is smaller than 5 inches...

The Martyrdom of Polycarp: "And, looking to the grace of Christ, they despised all the torments of this world, redeeming themselves from eternal punishment by [the suffering of] a single hour. For this reason the fire of their savage executioners appeared cool to them. For they kept before...

CHAPTER '40. LET US PRESERVE IN THE CHURCH THE ORDER APPOINTED BY GOD. These things therefore being manifest to us, and since we look into the depths of the divine knowledge, it behooves us to do all things in [their proper] order, which the Lord has commanded us to perform at stated times...

I've made several batches of jerky, trying beef regular, lean ground beef, and different cuts of pork jerky. Do you have any recipes for the merinade prep? I usually use soy sauce, various Bar-B-Q sauces, hotsauce, and a little paprika, garlic and onion powder, black pepper, liquid smoke...

This bruised reed is a man that for the most part is in some misery, as those were that came to Christ for help, and '(2.) by misery is brought to see sin the cause of it; for whatsoever pretences sin maketh, yet bruising or breaking is the end of it; '(3.) he is sensible of sin and misery, even...

A while ago I spent seven years volunteering and then working as a mental health peer support coordinator. This was with a non faith based organization. Through my experience there I met some amazing people, many with serious health concerns, who were able to see beyond their own suffering and...

Is there an underlying expectation that Christians should abstain from Drugs and Alcohol? And if/when we see a Christian using do we personally become disappointed with him or her, or secretly condemn that person for doing so? Do we secretly hold the attitude, "Don't smoke, don't drink, don't...

I've found that I am in a rut when it comes to food.. Granola in the morning TV dinner in the afternoon Granola in the evening. Anyone else doing better?

I've been feeding on Matthew Henry's Larger commentary recently and came across his comment on Genesis '19:15-23 which honestly surprised me. I always thought that when Lot went to warn his sons in law about the approaching cataclysm that they were engaged to his two daughters, just not yet...

My first question is concerning Matthew '5:1,2 which reads "And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:" I have an exegetical/hermeneutical-interpretation/application question about...

Put this in the wrong section sorry, I moved it to the Hermeneutic sub-formum. Thanks for your patience.:)

Since nobody has commented on the Hobbit Volume 2, I get the idea that most were not impressed with it. Are we simply tired of the Wingnut empire maxing out on special effects and trumping out story content and character development simply to stretch the story out way beyond its original...

B.C. lawyers vote against religious school - BC | Globalnews.ca Thoughts?

Hey guys, We all have messages and studies that we're dying to put out there, but just don't know where else on the forum to put them. After all, who wants the "excessive scrutiny" of the theology section when we are really just speaking from the heart. So, whatever you feel like sharing, a...

22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. 23 I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water. (NKJV). My...

Hi, I'm just starting to create a basic database using Open Office software so I can create a user friendly cross-reference system of the NKJV. I already know that its a huge project, since I've been working on data entry of the NKJV text manually (for personal benefit) for a couple of years...

Just wondering, I've seen a few comments over the year or so since I've been a member of CF that for most of us witnessing or sharing Christ is for when people come to church and see how wonderful Christ is by the winsomeness of Christ seen through our personalities. I mean, I get the idea...

Just wondering how you approach exegesis (understanding a biblical passage). The jigsaw approach assumes a completable whole, only the pieces have to be recognized, evaluated, and then placed in their proper position. The mural sees the beauty of all pieces and puts these together in terms of...

I know this might sound kind of strange, but we all have some little thing that might sound kind of lame, and yet we find that we have a definite sense of accomplishment when we do it. For me, its the solitaire game of Freecell. For some reason I really get how to play it. I've just played my...

Over the years I've been to many church business meetings. On quite a few occasions "points of order" became more important than the issues being discussed. So my question is: Do we as Baptists consider Robert's Rules of Order to be Deutero-canonical?
