  • 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.

There were seven annual feast Sabbath days in the biblical Jewish calendar.

7. Every seventh year was designated as a "Sabbath for the Land" (Le 25:1-7), i.e., a sabbatical year. Farmers did not work the land for a whole year.

8. Every 50th year was the year of Jubilee (v 11), and there was no sowing or harvesting and no work on the land for two consecutive years.

There were weekly, yearly, and multi-yearly Sabbaths in the OT. They foreshadowed the eternal Sabbath rest in Jesus. Matthew 11:

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
