  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Here's my translation of Matthew 8:1-13. Please critique.

8And after He had come down from the mountain, many crowds followed Him. 2 And look, a leper after coming was reverencing Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me." 3 And after stretching out His hand, Jesus touched him, saying, "I am willing, be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus says to him, "See that you speak to no one, rather go show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them."

5 Now after He had entered Capernaum, a centurion approached Him, beseeching Him and saying, 6 "Lord, my servant is cast in the house as a paralytic, terribly being tormented." 7 And Jesus says to him, "Shall I myself come and heal him?" 8 And the centurion answering said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; rather only speak with a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For even I myself am a person under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does." 10 Now after hearing this, Jesus marveled and said to those following, "Amen I am saying to y o u, not even in Israel have I found so strong a faith! 11 And I am saying to y o u that many will come from east and west and will recline at table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the reign of the heavens, 12 but the sons of the reign will be thrown out into the outermost darkness; there the weeping and gnashing of teeth will be." 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go, and as you believed let it happen for you." And his servant was healed that hour.
