• 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.

In the context of this conversation this verse in the LXX is rendered peace.
I wanted to simply present a scriptural position.

It needs to be understood that eastern faith is often presented as a way of peace, as is Islam.

So folks need to understand that the peace being offered by such faiths is false.

This is not the peace that passes all understanding whose source is the Creator of the Universe, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

LXX Ezra 9:12

ειρήνην αυτών
their peace

I practice meditation and I have trouble understanding how you think one Bible quote proves that peace is false, when that runs contrary to my experience. By my lights, and many others, it just seems like you are being prejudiced against that which you do not understand.
