  • 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.

Elisha's people spoke to Elisha in 2 Kings 2:

16a “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.”
They thought God might have teleported Elijah as a possibility.

Acts 8:

G726 did not always mean miraculous transportation (Ac 23:10), but here, the context suggests it was. The Spirit of the Lord suddenly and actively took Philip away. He disappeared from the eunuch's view. Then he re-appeared in another place:

40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

I think so. The book of Acts contained quite a number of miracles. This was one of them.
