  • 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.

All of the contradictions that I have seen athiests and others gloat over are easily explained if one has an understanding of how the Bible was written and what different types of literature it contains.
Yes, literature with mistakes. For instance, this contradiction:

1KI 4:26
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

2CH 9:25
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
or this blatant error:

LEV 11:6
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

(hares don't produce a cud to chew )
