• 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.

How many here read their Bibles on a regular basis? Among those who do, how do you read it? All the way through? Various books? How many here don’t like to read much of the OT, except for Psalms and Proverbs. I much prefer those two and the NT.

I love Genesis and the OT historical books. The OT gets a lot of my time. Granted not 80% but a lot.

I need to read my Bible more often, but when responding to posts, I check an online Bible to quote the right verses. Sometimes I quote the NT, while others the OT.

The Bible needs to be understood as a whole. Don't necessarily do front cover to back cover but read it chronologically.

I did do a bit of the Bible in a Year podcast, and it helped me understand the Bible more. I should start listening to it again.

Great. Also look into the Bible Timeline by Jeff Cavins.

I’m a regular. But I have been listening a lot lately. I’m a fan of David Suchet reading Scripture. I read quite a bit in the OT as I see a lot of types and shadows foretelling the new. It all works together.
