  • 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

As I kept reading I kept finding things in there that I didn't understand. Things that made no sense. I didn't understand why in 19:9

First of all - questions are good! God can stand up to scrutiny. Second of all, look not only at Addo's specific knowledge, but his general insight. He's usually right on, and certainly is in this instance. If he's 15 years old you should find that very encouraging! The Bible IS understandable.

Have you read the whole New Testament? Please don't tackle the Old until you have all you questions from the New answered, except for Revelation. If you're that far and really ready to tackle the OT, you need to acquaint yourself with hermeneutics. Personally, I find ALL the really challenging passages are there specifically to MAKE us "sound out" G-d, to force us to get to know Him.

Times come when we need that. :bow:
