  • 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.

David and Abigail > David was getting ready to make a major error, by killing off all the men of Nabal the husband of Abigail. But she got wind of how Nabal had dissed David and his men so that then David was going to get revenge. And she came and stood up to David and straightened him out!

It seems she was gorgeous. But after David got a sample of her wisdom, I think he was stunned at how a woman could be a lot more than attractive. And he thanked the LORD for arranging for her to come and help him so he would not ruin how he would want to be known as ruler of Israel.
I don't think we need to suggest David was sexist in his view of Abigail since Scripture doesn't seem to do so.
