• 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.

Don't forget the old testament phrase, God of gods, meaning a plethora of gods exist; however, in the new testament there is only one God, three persons--one God.
I forgot about God of gods.
I personally think it should not be translated as 'persons', because it's "persona", as in, attitudes and roles (like an actor). It's translated as 'persons' in English because of poor translation from Latin. It's hypostasis in Greek, meaning reality or "person" (implying roles), and persona in Latin.

Tell that to some Christians though. Even the Trinity has changed from its original belief over time.

What?
I use YHWH because that's the correct transliteration of it from Hebrew. Yod-hey-waw (or vav)-hey, and I personally find it better than writing the JudæoChristian God's name, out of respect.
