  • 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

    THE QUESTION IS HOW IS ISRAEL SAVED ??

    I do not use Paul as an authority; Paul's statements have 2000-year-old contexts and semantics which is not available to us. Jesus made the new covenant with the lost of Isreal and Judah, the twelve apostles were commissioned to take that Covenant to the Gentiles.

    I think context is important, the unleavened bread was already a feature of the Passover meal, what did the unleavened bread mean relative to the Passover, every prophesy fulfilled that day was Passover related.

    THE QUESTION IS HOW IS ISRAEL SAVED ??

    Paul you can have a conversation with, but one should use Jesus as the authority, Matt 7:23, 25:41. Faith is only grammatically different to trust. Do you trust Jesus (the word of God) to do what he said or o you trust Jesus to do what Paul said?

    Eucharist Elements

    I do not know much about Catholic teachings, I know they begin with the Law of God abrogated, (the covenant abrogated). The last supper was to do with the Passover and Jesus's role in the Passover. Transubstantiation has nothing to do with the Passover, or the coming out of Egypt and or Sodom...

    Eucharist Elements

    The word used to describe the last supper means THANKS GIVING, and that is not what Jesus requested. Jesus said, while eating the Passover meal, on the third of seven days of wine and unleavened bread, "remember me" (as the Passover Lamb). The unleavened bread being the anti-thesis of pagan...

    THE QUESTION IS HOW IS ISRAEL SAVED ??

    Nor was I talking about Moses covenant, but about God's covenant(s), where Moses was mediator and later Jesus is mediator, same king, same kingdom, same promise, and same Law.

    THE QUESTION IS HOW IS ISRAEL SAVED ??

    I presume that you are not quoting Romans 11:23. I disagree this way, ha you said, "All--Gentile and Jew--who are saved are save the same way", I would agree, assuming faith and trust meant keeping the commandments of God and having the faith of Jesus.

    THE QUESTION IS HOW IS ISRAEL SAVED ??

    Israel was first saved by entering into the covenant; those who did not enter in successfully, and were lost were given a second chance via the renewed covenant; a more interesting question is how gentiles are saved.

    Jesus changed water into wine, that is transubstantiation, Jesus did not change the bread and wine into his flesh and blood, Jesus's comments suggest that Jesus considered himself to be a combination of fruit and nuts or wine and bread.

    Is there a Christian Passover?

    To be critical of the Law is to be critical of God. Works of the Law, seems to be a saying of Paul, but following Christ, the Pharisees made the Law a heavy load. Since Christ the new church is the priesthood, but God does not change and still requires of Israel today what he always required...

    Is there a Christian Passover?

    I have lost track of what we are talking about and how we have strayed. There is a difference between what Jesus said and what you say, Jesus had a context, Jesus was being accused and, in that way, good is defined. Not all good things take precedence over the Sabbath; Pagan Easter is not a...

    Is there a Christian Passover?

    You are wrong, it is very difficult, I think it is called hardening the heart. The Law produces goodness; goodness does not produce the Law. You are probably missing the context in which Jesus spoke; he was addressing the screwed-up perception of the Law that the Pharisees had. The issue is...

    Is there a Christian Passover?

    What you say is historically true, but not Biblically correct. If we consider the Passover festival a prophesy or a set of types, the Jesus as an anti-type, was the lamb on the day, 14 Nisan, he spent 15, 16, 17 Nisan in the Grave, three days and three nights, was found risen on 18 Nisan which...

    Is there a Christian Passover?

    Your use of the word "goodness" is a problem for me. If you said, "If one keeps the commandments of God according to Christ", that would be scriptural; goodness does not mean the same thing, especially in this time when men call evil goo and good evil.

    Is there a Christian Passover?

    The key is "most Christian", and who are they, do they keep the commandments of God and have the Faith of Jesus, or do they abrogate the Law and keep Sunday, do they keep Easter instead of the Passover?
