  • 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.

Question for those in Israel?

This is inspired by a thread I read recently. Here it goes..

Thought: I find interesting parallels with housetops and those who may or may not sit on top of them. Peter was caught up in trances while on top of one. And Jesus spoke of those atop of them too (in various contexts)

Question: Is sitting on top of houses common in Israel right now? I've lived in America my entire life, and I can safely say that this is not a common practice in the states. I was just wondering if this is a practice in Israel or other parts of the world today?

Proverbs 21:9 -- "Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."
