• 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.

What is a Maskil? Who are the sons of Korah? All I can think is the guy who got killed for a rebellion a while back (I'm in Judges now). And what was going on?
Korah was the son of Esau.. Easu was the Brother of Jacob.. Easu sold his birthright to Jacob for a plate of food.. The descendants of Jacob would come to be the Children of Israel..

In my Bible there is no Maskil ? Could you quote the verses where it appears in your Bible?

To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.

Oh sorry.. i just saw that title.. My Bible says Maschil was his name.. Thats why i could not find it..

A Maschil is a Song of Wisdom..
David wrote a lot of songs about his troubles and wars with the nations around him.. And of course he had troubles with the Sons of Korah..

So the sons of Korah aren't the speakers? They caused the trouble?

Well i know David wrote it.. That's what i am sure of.. The sons of Korah where not Jews so their writings would not be included in the Word of God..
