• 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.

Yes definitely the ESV is helpful for a reason and is a vital source of information that is easier to understand in modern language. Also Naexx is having a bible study if you would like to review basic concepts.

I agree NIV is an important tool that helps me to interpret words in English while still reviewing basic concepts. Also Naexx is having a bible study if you would like to join.

I have been looking at the WEB a lot more, with reading much from it. I see it is a good translation and don't see any problem with it now. I just have other versions as printed books I only look at the WEB with going online.

We have three or four of those in the house.

Really enjoy the ESV Study Bible.
When we bought ours they give you a free online Study Bible and some other resources very nice.
