  • 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

    Here is Erwin's Official anouncement about the Title and other changes

    This forum has always been "too stiff around the collar" anyway. People are too afraid to say what they believe. Those who do speak up have been "called out" when they do. The entire world is dominated by non-believers. If we cannot figure out how to bring forth the Kingdom on some forum then...

    Do you follow the Commandments of Yeshua or Paul?

    Going outside of the Bible is where most of us go for our interpretations anyway. It's quite difficult not to be influenced somewhere and to come to the Scriptures without some type of pre-conceived bias. Also, going outside of the Scriptures tends to bring many, many contradictory opinions...

    Do you follow the Commandments of Yeshua or Paul?

    From my speaking with some forum members I would say there are others who wonder these things. But, most just don't want to voice these thoughts because none of us are convinced that they are 100% true.

    Do you follow the Commandments of Yeshua or Paul?

    I know that I think about and say the things that most will not dare think about or say but even if my thoughts do not persuade me I have to ask the questions. We seem to argue that the N.T. is Scripture simply because we have always been told that it is. It is a "faith" issue for us. Sure...

    Do you follow the Commandments of Yeshua or Paul?

    I have also noticed that we say Yeshua is G-d yet seem to place more emphasis on the treachings of Paul than we ever do the teachings of Yeshua. Perhaps Peter thought Paul was difficult to understand because as Peter walked with Yeshua he never heard Yeshua speak the teachings that Paul...

    Messianic Bibles?

    Stern used the older/original version of the JPS Tanakh for his translation because it is now public domain and he did not have to pay to use it. His original intent was to only translate a Jewish oriented version of the N.T. alone then he was approached about doing an entire translation. He...

    How can Messianics accept trinity doctrine? [open]

    I know we have always been taught that this is a proof text to show that Yeshua did in fact claim to be G-d but there is another way to look at it. I'm not saying this is true but I at least consider it because it makes sense. Have you noticed that biblical translators have a problem with...

    How can Messianics accept trinity doctrine? [open]

    There seems to be some division here that does not need to exist in an already difficult topic. I think most believers out here would agree that G-d is not necessarily bound. We are not trying to place G-d in a box with this "trinity" argument. I agree (along with everyone else) that G-d can do...

    Messianic Prophecy Bible Project...is it legit?

    You can find out more about Michael Brown by viewing his website at www.icnministries.org . He is a Messianic Jew and seems to be of the Pentecostal variant. He is responsible for leading the original Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, FL.

    uniting all christians as one body[open]

    I think she means.........."What's up with the luggage?" It's as if you or your little icon is taking a trip overseas! Will all of that luggage fit in a Volvo??????? (I think Wags is referring to the Artscroll Tanach icon)

    The Tomb where Jesus' coffin and BODY was found

    Sorry. I didn't mean to make you think that I believed there could only be one tomb. I would agree that the original tomb of Yeshua would be different than the current tomb that is being discussed. My point is that some of the religious leaders kept the agenda of saying that the "body had...

    The Tomb where Jesus' coffin and BODY was found

    Also, if such a family tomb existed (even if it were kept a secret by only a few key people who knew about it) it would be difficult for me to believe that when all of the persecutions, deaths, and even the promotion of the faith began over the belief in the resurrection of Yeshua that someone...

    The Tomb where Jesus' coffin and BODY was found

    What about all of those people who were supposedly buried in shallow graves or even thrown into a pile during those days? It would be impossible to find their bones after a year and place them in Jerusalem. My other question would be---how did they keep this family tomb a secret? Obviously...
