  • 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.

1 chronicles 22:14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

100 000 talents of Gold! A biblical talent is 34kg

that is 3.4 Million kg's of gold consider that today with gold at $970 an ounce that would be $31213 kg or about 100 billion dollars of gold, plus the 1 million talents of silver! and that was just the bit David got ready. The temple must have been a building of awsome magnificence.

1 cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? - what an honour.
