• 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.

• We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Apr 1, 2007 19,202 841 43 New Carlisle, IN ✟46,336.00 Faith Lutheran Marital Status Married Politics US-Others Ok obviously we all know that God has his favorite numbers. If you havn't noticed God's favorite numbers are 3, 7, and 12. (There are a few others too such as 144, (12 squared), and 40 but those are the big ones) Now I also noticed that 2 of those three numbers are prime numbers. (3 and 7) When I first realized this a while back it immediatly made me think of the movie "Contact" where the alien life that contacts earth (by radio transmissions) does so by sending the sequence of prime numbers. And they did this to prove that they where intelligent beings. . . Maybe I'm totally off base here on this but do you think that it may be possible that God is trying to communicate something with these numbers? I mean have you ever wondered. . . "Why 3?" "Why 7?" "Why 12?" and more importantly why do these numbers come up over and over and over again in the bible from Genesis to Revelations? Its clearly not a coincidence as often as they come up. •••

If we needed to know why God chose a certain number of days to carry out an event we would be told. but if the Bible is silent on it then it makes about as much sense to dwell on that as to dwell on, 'why did God choose to make both the ocean and the sky blue and what is the significance of the colour blue to God?' •••

Apr 1, 2007 19,202 841 43 New Carlisle, IN ✟46,336.00 Faith Lutheran Marital Status Married Politics US-Others Well I think everything in the universe is mathematically predictable if you have all the correct variables. My wonder is why God uses these numbers over and over again and if the numbers have special significance that we can understand perhaps outside of a biblical context. •••

you gotta look at it with a peotic eye. 3 symblizes something [I can't remember] 7 symblizes perfection while 6 symblizes imperfection. 12 symblizes goverment [12 Apostles, 12 profits, 24 elders]. and 40 symblizes testings and trails. •••

Hmm. It sure is a mystery, Kirk.

i think numerologies, typologies and other things like that have their place, but many times preachers blow them way out of proportion. people come up with stuff that makes you wonder..where in the world did you come up with that?? •••
