• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Most people give away where they are faith wise with their actions and words, but that is okay for me because faith is a learning thing which "hopefully" continues throughout our lives because no one truly has the faith that we should have. We will never match that of Jesus.

I look back at myself when I was 30 years old and see how little I understood, yet, God loved me the same he does today. I pray that my faith and understanding continues to grow. It has been a wonderful ride.

Reminds me of what James said.

Faith without works is dead.

That begs the question.

What are the works of faith?

I can agree to this. But the question is then, if faith is as faith does, then what does faith do?

Faith cleans my house twice a month. She is a really nice lady.

another adage is "keep it simple stupid"

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G3474&t=KJV

Matthew 23:17 Fools/mwroi <3474> and blind! for which [is] greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that is sanctifying the gold?

1 Corinthians 3:18 Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age--let him become a fool/mwroV <3474>, that he may become wise,

3474. moros mo-ros' probably from the base of 3466; dull or stupid (as if shut up), i.e. heedless, (morally) blockhead, (apparently) absurd:--fool(-ish, X -ishness).

That highlighted verse you posted seems to go along with this verse. "Let him who is wise among you show it in meekness of wisdom". Meek wisdom i assume is humble and doesn't mock or offend when it speaks. I see that verse linked to Charity.

1Co_13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co_13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
1Co_13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1Co_13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
