  • 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.

They correctly translate it to "hyrax" a creature that is native to that area of the middle east.
Then the Hebrews used the wrong word and God corrected it to "hare."

I'm sure there are explanations other than your basic run-of-the-mill GOD GOTTIT WRONG, that these guys are so used to.

If they would just slow down and set their zeal to criticize aside, they could probably figure most of this stuff out on their own.

And if not, I can always pull rank on them and say: THE BIBLE SAYS IT, THAT SETTLES IT.
When in doubt, go to ELIYAH :)

Strong's Concordance with Hebrew and Greek Lexicon

Hebrew Lexicon :: H8227 (KJV)
The KJV translates Strongs H8227 in the following manner:
Shaphan (30x), coney (4x).

8227 shaphan shaw-fawn' from 8226; a species of rock-rabbit (from its hiding), i.e. probably the hyrax:--coney.
8226 saphan saw-fan' a primitive root; to conceal (as a valuable):--treasure.

And when I'm not in doubt?
Then you can move mountains :)

Matthew 21:21
Jesus answering said to them "verily I am saying to ye,
if ever ye may be having Faith and no ye may be doubting/diakriqhte <1252> (5686), not only of the fig-tree ye shall be doing,
but even-ever to this Mountain ye may saying 'be being lifted up! and be being cast into the Sea!' it shall be becoming"
[Galatian 4:24,25/Hebrew 12:18/Revelation 8:8]

Reve 8:8
And the second Messenger trumpets
and as-like a Mountain, great to fire burning, was cast into the Sea
and became the third of the Sea blood
[Matthew 21:21/Galatian 4:24, 25/Hebrew 12:18]

Oh my!!

Severe 9th Commandment warning!

The Ninth Commandment

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.' Exod 20: 16.

........This is the sense of the commandment,
not only that we should not slander falsely or accuse others; but that we should witness for them and stand up in their defence, when we know them to be traduced.
A man may wrong another as well by silence [sin by omission] as by slander, when he knows him to be wrongfully accused, yet does not speak in his behalf.............

This is the sense of the commandment,
Even atheists like to swing the Bible around like a two-edged sword.

They just swing It around and hope It cuts someone.

....while making sure they are not self inflicting.
Well, I originally typed:

As my pastor is fond of pointing out: Be careful how you use the Bible, as It might just cut you.

But I went the other route instead.

I didn't want sensitive persons to think I was threatening anyone.

"Is never" being the key phrase, Paul?

I noticed you didn't say, "was never."

Perhaps it was back in the 12th century (or whenever), when you weren't there?

Please, dig up the verifiable quote!

No hope is needed. The hypocrisy of many becomes obvious when they start to duck.

Didn't you just duck?

And actually the Bible can only cut people who believe in it. It is clearly not a two edged sword. It can be used against Christians. Atheists are immune to its errors, bad morals, and poor history.

Uh-huh.

Is that why you have 7,705 posts?

You're just showing how immune you are?

Don't use your inflated post count to give you a false sense of superiority. I may be crazy for trying to help people here but I am not crazy enough to "count".
