• 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.

The Ninth Plague: Darkness Exodus 10:21
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.” 22So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.…

I would say that God knew about Vantablack even before man had found out it's properties
in 2014.

By using not a traditional pigment but rather a unique matrix of delicate carbon tubes, Vantablack is able to absorb 99.965 percent of visible light.

So what do you guys think ?
I think the Ten Plagues of Egypt - as narrated in the text of Exodus - are fiction, though quite possibly inspired by disasters that could happen. It is at least remarkable that no Pharaoh is ever named in Exodus, though more than one is referred to. I think the whole Exodus-story is a tissue of patriotic theological fictions, by more than one author.

Not all in Egypt saw the miracles either only those who believed in miracles.

We were taken out of Egypt but Egypt was not taken out of us.

We each have a Pharaoh within who wants to keep us as slaves, therefore,

we must leave our personal Egypt everyday and not let Pharaoh holds us back.

First then are we free.

#7,an after note to make it a little clearer.

Kabbalah explains the Hebrew word for Egypt, Mitzrayim, means, limitations, boundaries, constraints.
