• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 seems to be a very large and dangerous creature but the Bible does not specify which one. I suspect it may be mythical and perhaps based on a few fossils.

IN the book of Job, "Behemoth, and Leviahan" are "Types" of the personal problems that Job had, and that the Book of Job deal with God's efforts to expose them to Job in order to bring him to repentance (Job 42:6).
"Leviathan" is a type of Job's intense "Personal Pride", and "Behemoth" is a type of Job's tendency to do things in HIS OWN POWER, instead of relying on God.

Nobody knows. I do know this much... what we Christians call "the Wedding supper of the Lamb," the Jews call (in ancient writings) "Feasting on Leviathan."

@JackRT I read your post... I agree, of course. Not sure I agree on it being mythical, though it could be an abstract word being used to depict something else? But your thoughts on "Feasting on Leviathan?"
