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

If you look at Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25, they are the exact same verse: There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

Other verses tend to say the same thing, but not in the exact same form. Do you think there is a significance to this to why this is repeated in the exact same form? If so, what is it?

It is important to see that we can fool our own selves and not know it. And we need to feed on this, more than once :)

Off the top of my head, perhaps the verse is important enough that the Lord wanted it repeated. Or maybe it was a saying that was included in two lists of sayings that were both included in Proverbs.
