• 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.

" What seems important to me is that the Lord, through his commandments, lays down a path to heaven "

That's good to hear :)

I personally like to get deep with my studies because I know the Bible contains the accumulated knowledge of 4,000 years, in addition to being God's message to all mankind

In the course of my Bible studies I've learned about pre-cuneiform, cuneiform ( Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian ) 3 Egyptian scripts, 10+ Aramaic scripts, Hebrew, Greek, Ugaritic, Hittite, Eblaite and more

I've learned textual traditions of exegesis of priests spanning thousands of years, mathematical astronomy, math and math history dating back to Sumeria, metrology and more

...all from Bible study

Makes me laugh when I see people say " The Bible and science don't go together ", they obviously don't know much about history in Mesopotamia

I think it's a shame people have forsaken hard study in exchange for lies and sloppy exegesis, but the scriptures do indeed tell us that in the last days people will seek out teachers to tickle their ears with lies

I like to remind the reader of verses like Romans 15:4

" For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope "

Cheers
