• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

'The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable...'

How does this read to you? It is the nasb version.

Makes the scripture obscure, I prefer the KJV:
"The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright"

what is wisdom? - the correct use of knowledge ... we all have knowledge but heart-wisdom will use what is appropriate ane leave what distracts.

(One of the authors of the NASB wanted to distance himself because it gives far too much weight to two manuscripts which are shown to be unreliable - source)

I looked at that version, and it does look good here. Sorry, cannot go crazy trying to learn that kind of language with the KJV. I was asking what kind if version I could get next, and the Lord said, 'You have one.' As my attention was drawn back to it. So I am reading the nasb as long as the Lord sees fit.
