  • 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

Story been told that the high priest would randomly visit the temple at night to check to see if the guards were still on duty and had not fallen asleep. If he found them asleep he would light them fire from the torch he was carrying. Thus he became known as the thief in the night. What I found interesting is that it makes me think of when yeshua returns there are going to be those who he finds asleep. Will they be left lit?

Actually it is alluding to the Jewish marriage...when the groom (Yeshua) comes back to bring His bride to his Father's house!
