  • 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.

Shabbat Shalom, Brethren,

I am interested in hearing your scriptural view on wives. I was recently challenged by the research of a Messianic friend and thought this would be a good opportunity to extend the discussion out to a larger community to get your views on the purpose of JHWH in marriage, particularly the definition and role of the "helper fit for man." I do not intend this thread to be a place to critique or criticize your view and would appreciate if any people posting would be respectful in responding to this OP and the subsequent posts. I am hopeful this will simply serve as a resource for me and for others in looking at what JHWH had in mind for us. Thanks in advance!
