  • 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

    Differences in Translation Given Manuscript Discoveries

    Given the discovery of manuscripts during the last few decades, what is the percentage of differences, or how significant were the changes, in translation from the RSV to the NRSV, from the NAB to the NABRE, and from the Jerusalem Bible to the New Jerusalem Bible?

    Ecclesiastes = How could the NIV and CSB screw this up so badly?

    Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books of the Old Testament. It's all about vanity and how trying to live without God will cause you to be miserable. I have several Bible translations, and almost every single one translates to the word vanity (ESV, RSV, and NRSV for sure). However, for...
