  • 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

    New to being a Messianic.

    There are basically two types of Messianics which further branches off into various forms of Messianic, there is the Messianic Jew, who is a Jewish individual that subscribes to the Messianic prophecies of the Torah, and they branch off unto those which believe the Testimonies of the Disciples...

    The Strong's Deception

    For starters, any אות Symbol bearing a depiction of any Beast (such as an Ox, Camel, Serpent, etc.), is in direct violation of Torah, see Deut. 4 Secondly, the Ancient Hebrew Language is a Pidgin Language having No fixed Spelling or Pronunciation as found in what we refer to as a Formal...

    Jesus was REGARDED as the son of Joseph

    There is what we mean by what we say, and then there is what Grace means by what we say, the two are not always the same; In this case I see heaven declaring Yeshua to be Apʰrîyém the Birthright of Ishrael, who is the Son of Yowseph, he is the only person whom Yah is recorded as referring to as...

    The Strong's Deception

    Notwithstanding, due to the Example provided in Yeremiyahu 1:11, I believe we should see the various case entries as Webster's presents case entries, under a single heading, which (correct me if I'm mistaken) is how you feel they should be presented, even if we agree on that point, our belief on...

    The Strong's Deception

    H1696 דבר (daw-bar) H1697 דבר (daw-bawr) H1698 דבר (deh-ber) H1699 דבר (do-ber, dib-bare) If you were to see (and treat) them phonetically as we do in English then perhaps you could begin to understand why they are listed under various entries. In cases where we find two Phonetical...

    The Strong's Deception

    In an English dictionary we will find the word 'do' under various entries, 'done, don't, do' and under entries with variant spelling 'did, didn't' and this far from being an isolated case. Take the word 'friend for instance, ' friend, friendly, friendship' all with a separate entry. The word...

    The Strong's Deception

    It is important to note that the ancient Hebrew language was not Authored by men, nevertheless many stand in Doubt or Disbelief of this Divine fact, and subsequently mingle the teachings of men with the teachings of Torah, which clearly disagrees with the teachings of men, in that, we are to...

    Reconciling the alternate readings of Psalm 90

    Heaven has alternate readings throughout the Torah, and it was done with great Deliberat(ion) [note my play on words], it permits intelligible information to read on ELS’s, and various Skip Sequences; Sometimes an alternate reading will allude to a particular dispensation, and their inadvertent...

    The Strong's Deception

    Yahudim the presentation you linked has nothing to do with the Masorete or the Mesorah, it is a comparison of the Targum with the LXX, the Targum (aka Onkelos) is a particular Paraphrasal of the Torah, (that does not quite measure up to a Translation), accompanied by Talmudic Commentary...

    The Strong's Deception

    When Yeshuah aka Immanuel touched on the subject at hand, he presented it using Associated Terms concerning a subject matter to illustrate a clear Context, just as we find it in Yeshayahu 8 which references him, and touches on the very same subject; 1st he declares that he did not come to...

    The Strong's Deception

    Though I am quite familiar and fully aware of these things, my understanding of the subject is not limited thereto; You are only rehearsing the limited understanding and best guess of those whose understanding is stagnated;

    The Strong's Deception

    I apologize for the misunderstanding, This was not directed towards you personally, it is a passage where Yeshuah uses the word Masorah (or equivalent thereof) to point out how we Read the Scripture.

    The Strong's Deception

    I noticed in the caption of your link a reference to …the Oldest copies of the Hebrew Script…, which everyone here should know, the Earliest copies Do not bare diacritic amendments, the Earliest documents which Do contain diacritics however happen to come from out of Babylon, whence the Yemeni...

    The Strong's Deception

    Be careful with what מסורה Messure you מסורה Measure, for the same will be מסורה Measured out to you. What did you suppose Yeshuah was referring to when he said מסורה? If not the Scriptures?!?

    The Strong's Deception

    You might want to look into the Dead Sea scrolls, which indeed bore Niqqud, though not considered Masoretic, but Babylonian/Yemeni; The word Tittle lit., means Diacritic Mark. and the word iota is a transliteration of יוד Yowd lit., a Hand, which in the Sephardic tongue renders Manual, there is...
