  • 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.

This inspires me to think about God's delicate care... A God,an Awesome, All-Powerful, All-Mighty, All-Encompassing God.... that he could make me with the utmost attention to detail... that he loves the small mole beside my nose, the way my hair naturally parts down the center, the way my knuckes are almost invisible... That he crafted me like an artist crafts his greatest masterpiece.

Because of this, I want to praise Him forever.

Hi there!

:wave:

I think some people don't understand the part of the passage where it is stated, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made"... which most people would consider the "fear factor", when if fact, there are other definitives for the word.. such as the #2 or the #3 definition of "fearful" ...

b) (Niphal)

1) to be fearful, be dreadful, be feared

2) to cause astonishment and awe, be held in awe 3) to inspire reverence or godly fear or awe



I praise God in my awe and in reverence for I am wonderfully made.


I hope this helps in your understanding.
