  • 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.

The net was full of large fish, *153* of them

Peter and a few disciples went fishing in John 21

They were impressed with the catch compared with the zero catch before.

7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
It was a miracle. John recognized Jesus. John was there.

11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
What is the significance of the number 153?

There is no significance except that John was so impressed with the large quantity of the catch that he remembered the actual number.
