  • 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.

    Did Jesus claim Divinity?

    yes its a bit interesting, i guess, but can we stay on the original topic of whether or not Jesus claimed divinity? maybe we could have a differnt thread for the other one. this is how people get so off track and never end up hitting the same ball over the net for long.:)

    Did Jesus claim Divinity?

    whatever....but the point was that, as asked in the OP, Jesus did claim to be God. the discussion isnt whether God had a beginning or end, but whether Jesus claimed divinity.

    Jesus called himself God in Revelation by saying 'i am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End....', (titles of Jehovah). also in revelation he said 'I will be your God'.
