  • 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.

Choosing

Consider throughout the post Flood era that God had His own chosen people while the rebellious elohim had all the rest of mankind in this world. A world that originally we were cast into from the Garden. A world of adversarial elohim and now adversarial man. A world where God continued to choose people in an effort to combat the adversarial spirit within creation, picking people here and there until the time of Abraham and beyond with a large family nation. Wars and infighting based upon self interest would shatter that original Abrahamic family of 12 tribes of the House of Israel until there were only the Jews and Levites left.

Do you not think when Jesus originally said for the apostles to go out to all nations He wasn't talking about the world but rather the other 10 tribes/nations of that original family whom the Jews now called gentiles, God's original chosen nation among all the rebellious nations of man? When those final two tribes of the land of Judah eventually failed the Father, then yes, it was logical God would eventually pluck His own from the entire world of man rather than that original band of brothers now that the elohim's rule was broken compliments of Jesus. These new deserving chosen who were required to understand how His will was superior to the rebellious self serving will of both man and the adversarial elohim. It continues today as His own are chosen from within all human establishments (including within Christianity), where the grain will be separated from the tares. Care to take a side? His will or our own?
