  • 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

  1. Proverbs 21:6 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint and Vulgate; most Hebrew manuscripts vapor for those who seek death

According to the apparatus in the Jewish Publishing Society Tanakh, the Hebrew of verse 6 is unclear. The Septuagint actually reads, "He that gathers treasures with a lying tongue pursues vanity on to the snares of death," and not what is indicated in the NIV (see, e.g. Brenton).

I do love Proverbs.

I knew a couple who read a chapter of Proverbs every day, 31 chapters per month.

it's a wunnerful and blessed way to get into God's Word....they must've been very wise :)

It reminds me of this verse:

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." ~Proverbs 28:1

I'm counting on it! Seems to be taking a while for the "find" part, but waiting in expectation (Psalms 5:3) of it's soon arrival.

It surely comes, as surely as the sun rises.......and sometimes pours down like the rain.....

Let it rain.
