  • 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

howdy all, this is my first time reading the bible and i have some questions


In 2 Samuel 7:16 God tells the prophet Nathan to tell David "Your house and your kingdom shall be made forever before me; your throne shall be established forever."

How is this covenant with the house of David related to God's covenant with Abraham amd the later covenant at Mt.Sinai with Moses and the Hebrew people?


Why does God keep making covenants with the Hebrews, and do they change over time?




What is the significance of the fact that the royal family of David died out, and that there ceased to be an independant kingdom of Israel in the sixth century B.C?
