• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yeah, that does happen eh? haha :)

Those are basic instincts though, they have to guard what is theirs, they try to pass along their genes, and they certainly feel the need to dominate one another; but, that's all faultless I think... they're doing what they are created for, not doing it in a sinful way.

lol, I don't think God ever intended from the beginning for animals to hurt each other and kill each other. I think that the animals also changed after Adam and Eve's fall. I know that if our cat had a chance, she would try killing one of our other cats :D Pets almost like children if trained turn out in different ways. Our one dog was not trained very well and is quite pampered and shows signs of complete selfishness and he always wants his way, while on the other hand our other dog which we trained well turned out to be very sweet and humble. lol, if trained they know right from wrong I guess :)

I think you're certainly approaching the idea with a wonderful perspective, but, at the same time you're also admitting that it's human conditioning which creates behavior within them; nothing that really has to do with the animal themselves.

We're also talkin' about Eden here, and previously you even mentioned the Isaiah scripture; where all of creation will cease to be as we know it. The main difference between them and us is that Yahweh gave us this illusion of free-will... whereas, as mentioned, animals do what they need to in order to survive.

Oh, :D one thing about Hebrew everything is spelled so similar that it is easier for me to understand by hearing it verbally. :)
Very close. I met an Israeli guy who read it as "lover". But lover is spelled slightly different. Mine doesn't have niqqud so it's hard to know which one without the vowels.

Yeah, that's true. Hebrew is kind of tricky that way :)
