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.

reeann, I think either one of those two books would be good for a bible study. Out of the two, I would pick James. Let me know what happens ok.

Yeah, they're both great...colossians is pretty awesome how it describes who Jesus is, and it's generally great...James is solid, good pointers and general amazingnes...
other than those two - for Bible Study I think Hebrews is solid. It really explains things in a solid way, like how u are saved, what actually goes on...like Jesus being our High Priest etc, that really helped me to get an understanding about Jesus Blood. But yeah, colossians and James are both excellent and both quite short...go for both!!

Gerry, i can't even pronounce that prophet's name. Hmmmm, how does anyone else feel about that?
I've never studied a prophet, mainly because well i don't know why i never have fear of not being able to understand I think

Habakkuk means "Love's Embrace"! Is that awesome or what? His Book is actually a song as indicated by the closeing statement, and it is prophetic poetry at it's finest!

DRAFT:
Ok, I did some brainstorming and this is what I came up with. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I'll start next Monday if there isn't any objections or changes that need to be made to the study plan. Thanks and blessings.
Book Chosen: Colossians
Purpose: To Worship God and Learn of His Purpose
For Our Lives: Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
Goal: Hebrews 12:3-7 3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood
in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
"MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU
ARE REPROVED BY HIM; 6 FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES,
AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."
Questions to Ask Yourself
what does this passage teach me about the Lord Jesus Christ?
what is the main thought of the passage?
what is the overall theme/purpose of this book?
what is the background to this statement (the author's and the readers)?
why was this letter/passage written?
what type of literature is this (doctrinal, poetic, historical, etc.)?
what are the recipients of this letter doing right?
what are the recipients of this letter doing wrong?
is there a poetic or literary structure to the passage?
how can I apply this passage to my life? What similar situations do I face
Logistics:
I will post the scripture reading for the week on a thread. Each person participating is encourage to study
and answer the questions listed above for themselves personally. Pray and have God direct you with
what He has impressed upon your heart in the passages studied for the week. Each reading will have
its own thread. Hopefully, Jill will start the evening MSN/AIM discussions on the same. I can participate
in Friday evening discussions.
Rules:
1. Love others
2. Pray for those who participate daily that God will illuminate His Word in their hearts.
3. No belittling or communication that does not edify each other.
4. No debating, only posting how God spoke to your through the scriptures. .
5. If you disagree with what someone said, lovingly state why you do and post scriptural support.
No more discussion on the issue. See Rule 6 if you want to debate an issue.
6. If you have a debate issue, write it down and take it to the appropriate forums for discussion there.
7. Any other rules that apply to this forum
