• 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.

It is for me.
I live in the Southern Hemisphere!
Just continue in your denial, that's how you want it.

I will be out of internet contact for the next 10 days.

The OT appears to me to be replete with passages associating "north" with "danger & destruction"... Would consensus support that statement?

If so, is the very word "north" one which is "Biblically charged"... such that "fanatics" would petition "North Dakota" to change its name to "Upper Dakota" or some such ?

Is the association clear, consistent, and unambiguously obvious ?
No, it isn't.
When the prophets tell us an attack will come from the north, as the Gog/Magog one, then we know the origins of those armies.
But the next prophesied event will be triggered by an attack onto Israel by armies from all directions, as Psalms 83 and Micah 4:11-12 describes.
