• 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.

  • 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's not just a liberal or skeptical view. It is the view shared by most historians, Biblical archaeologists, theologians.
yep, even those of us who call ourselves conservative can agree with this understanding of the creation accounts.

Actually, the first place to start is the Bible. I personally recommend the new Oxford English Bible. It ought to come with the Apocrypha added as a separate section. It is filled with annotations, such as where certain stories came from, what certain phrases really mean, where a name comes from, and cross-references thoroughly.

Thanks for the reference.
