  • 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

There is a reason why farmers graft on "wild branches" onto good roots. It is to attain vitality. During the writting of the bible everyone was quite familiar with this.

When the wild branch is grafted in, it does not produce the natural fruit, or the wild fruit, but a new fruit is produced. :idea:

You graft one branch into another looking for the main traits coming from the root, and the branch adding its strength.

Try to understand, Jesus said it is not about a mountain. It is not about flesh, Israel, or Judaism...ABRAHAM...no jew, no greek...gal 3;28.

Abraham said, he looked for a different city, even as he was in the land. Read Heb 11:10.



10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

Jesus after fulfilling the law, ransomed those who were in slavery to it, read gal 4. Stop trying to freeze his life into a 33 year existence, he rose, and is no longer jewish, and it is not about judaism.

Yes that is the beauty of the Apostle Paul's analogy, the graft is Christianity and a whole new man is thereby created. He is born again!

And that is exactly what has happened in history. After the natural branches were broken off, the Gentiles of Europe became grafted branches added on. Today we have European people who have developed the "law from within" as forecast by Jer.31;31 These people no longer need such a strict outer law or a police state.

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel,.....

"Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers....."

"After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;....

"And they will teach no more every man his neigbour, and every man his brother, saying, know the lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and will remember their sin no more." Jer.31-35

The word "conscience" is not found in the Old Testament, but is brought in by the Christians and used exactly "31" times matching the 31 verses describing God's creation of this world.

THE ABOVE VERSE CLEARLY SHOWS THIS MEANS CHRISTIANS, because Jesus "forgives our Iniquities."

correction...
Pharisee law/tradition.

u say that alot, then when asked to prove it using the scriptures, IN CONTEXT u don't. Give me something important, where clear doctrine about justification is being taught, not obscrure text.

why is somehow the US always in trouble.."evil" all the while, israel is under the curse of the law, gal 3;10, and amearica is under the blessing of abraham, because there are countless children of abraham in the US, because they believed, all the while israel does not. So why is america wrong?
