  • 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.

So how's it going have we learned anything new how should we understand the scriptures should we jest understand it as it is written or should we try to disect every word and change the meaning of them to support our latest theory.

Love and Peace
Dave

I personally understand & read them as they are written, to dissect every word would be so tedious & mind boggling taking away the pleasure of God's words.

Hi Apple Sky
Thank you for your reply to which I can agree I believe God wants us to know who he is and what he is doing and what he is going to do in the future and he is giving this information in simple stories I don't believe he wants us to learn ancient languages to understand what he is doing or going to do he did not try to convince the well educated of his day but preached to the ordenary working men of his day and expected them to understand and we have his words in the NT and we should try to understand them as they are written and not try to change them.
How should we understand the letters from the apostles I believe they were given to them by the Holy Spirit and should be understood as the word of God and we should never try to change them.

Love and Peace
Dave
