  • 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

Two things...

it is AWESOME how God responded to Zelophehad's daughters.

secondly, i understand better why God would not allow Moses to enter the land promised to the Israelites (that had always been difficult for me to grasp)
"it is AWESOME how God responded to Zelophehad's daughters."

I agree, this shows His compassion and love for His people, for us.

I wondered why God wanted Israel to go to such extreme lengths and this commentary helped explain it for me..
Numbers 31 - David Guzik Commentary on the Bible

Re: Numbers 31

Sooooo this is where Moses is told when he will die (after the Israelites war on the Midianites)

and it's recorded how Balaam died. What a foolish thing, that he knew of the power of the Israeli God yet plotted against the Israelites so abominably, and came to such an end.

This one's a little confusing....the children of Gad and of Reuben do not want to go over into the land which the Lord had given them....i'm not sure if this is a dis-trust of the Lord or a willfulness on their part, or if this tests the patience of the Lord. I'm wondering if this is going to deprive them of the blessings the Lord intended for them....

Interesting chapter.

Re: Numbers 30

Now i see why we gotta be careful with vows......they're the same as "promises" and God takes them super seriously. That's a sobering thought.

Well think of wedding vows, we say them before God and they are to be taken very seriously.. Though I do think many don't take them seriously enough these days and they don't feel they are saying before God but that's another discussion.
