  • 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

    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past

    This should really surprise no one. Throughout history the biggest enemies of the Jewish people have been apostate Jews. Sad, but true.

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    It's sad, but true.

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    Speaking of which, Rav Shalom just published a new book, In Forest Fields. It looks really good. I have my copy on the way already. :)

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    Absolutely. Across the board, from the Yemeni, to the S'fardi, to the Chasid, to the Morrocan, to the Ashkenazi, we all follow the same base halachic standards. What varies from community to community are the customs for keeping the halachot.

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    That's too bad then. I can't speak for other Chasidim, but in Breslev we go to great lengths to follow the teachings of Rebbe Nachman, who was very particular to practice love of both Jew and non-Jew alike.

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    Clearly this individual was unfamiliar with the Ba'al Shem Tov, who emphasized unconditional love. His great-Grandson, Rebbe Nachman of Breslev emphasized the same.

    Were Paul and Yeshua liars?

    Shir, It's pretty well understood, both by the Jewish k'lal and normative Chrstianity, that the teachings of Paul and Joshua were (and are) at odds.

    Kosher Kooler: Gentiles cooking for Jews

    IIRC, the only prohibition is to not cook exclusively for a gentile for a Yom Tov.

    How far does Noahide go....

    Actually... I'm quite sure the Founding Fathers would have agreed to such a thing. Do you know that they were contemplating making Hebrew the national language?

    How far does Noahide go....

    Wow... :doh:

    How far does Noahide go....

    Not at all. The world is being prepped for the Mashiach.

    How far does Noahide go....

    Under the Mashiach? You bet it will. May it happen speedily and in our days.

    sabbath practice

    Ya know, I couldn't have said it better. IF the mitzvot are written upon your heart (which is a mitzvah in and of itself btw) then observing them is simply a natural expression of what is already there. If they're not written on your heart, then there will be no outward expression.

    sabbath practice

    Was that *supposed* to be an insult?

    Can't have Messianic without Messiah

    Perhaps we should go back to calling it what it was then.... Derekh HaShem. That way it'd be distinguishable from every little group who likes to tack "Judaism" onto their name to make them seem like the real thing, when in reality, all they seek to do is replace it. And while we're at it...
