  • 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

What is the big argument that Jesus failed to fulfill the Messiah prophecies of O.T.

What is the big argument that Jesus failed to fulfill all of the Messiah prophecies of the Old Testament? Which ones did he not do?

I believe in Jesus Christ because of what he said. The miracles are important, but miracles can not really change people. Jesus' words are able to help souls to see and hope.

People tend to be so smart as to miss the whole point. I was told once in engineering, that after you have finished your calculations, please check to see if they makes any sense before approving them. Being a genius isn't a guarantee that you have got it right. Egos can ruin common sense. Are most believing Christians just people with more common sense, rather than more Ph.D.s? Can anyone out smart God with his own laws?

I find God being controversial throughout the Old Testament (& NT) and so for a reason; to trap the disobedient ones, the ones without a love for God or for their neighbors. God is like a two edge sword to get evil coming and going. There is no escaping, even within his word, churches or temples.
