  • 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.

Expanding the focus on all of Tanakh versus the narrow focus on Torah alone

The enemy is far from Torah,

I think this is directly expressed in the Apocalypse (Revelation),

and the enemy leads/teaches/trains/guides people to disobey Torah, and

the Creator has determined the Righteous Judgment for them.

By doing so, from the amalgamation of Tanakh, one would conclude that Messianic Judaism was the divine intent / outcome.
Yeshayahu 8 and Revelations 2 & 3 pretty much spell it out;

In Yeshayahu 8 our Doctrine (the Torah and the Testimony of Immanuel’s Disciples) is clearly annotated, most Christians are only concerned with the NT (the Testimony of Immanuel’s Disciples), and most Jews are only concerned with the Torah (the 36 books of the Tanakh), and most Messianic Jews are equally invested in both + (Enoch, etc,,), wherefore the passage is referring to a Messianic Jew, i.e., someone who speaks according to the Torah and the Testimony of Immanuel’s Disciples.


In Revelations 2 & 3 we read about the Seven Congregations, only two of them are not reprimanded and instructed to repent, Smyrna and Philadelphia wherein both are associated as Jews (which believe Yeshuah was H’Meshiakh), yet have their Jewishness held in question by others which also proclaim to be Jews, but are deemed fraudulent (likely due to their Antichrist stance);

Again, we have a scenario where.there are those which associate as both a Jew and a Messianic, hmmm, I wonder who these strange folks could possibly be ????

The referring to the Torah as Tanakh is not a scriptural based custom, both Yeshuah and the Torah indentify and refer to the entire Tanakh as Torah, not just the five books ascribed to Moshé.

Though Messianic Jew is indirectly implied by these passages, an alternate reading of Yeshayahu 8 not only cautions us to not forge an allegiance with just anyone who claims an allegiance, but to rather associate ourselves as the Host/Congregation of Yahuah.

Yeshuah also implied that (collectively) we are יהוה צבואת the Host of Yahuah, when he paraphrased Malachi 3:1 l, Malachi reads, …my Messenger/Angel who shall prepare the Way Before Me (יהוה צבואת), and Yeshuah rewords it, …who shall prepare your Way Before You.

You diligently search the Scriptures because you think/suppose to have eternal life in them, and these are they bearing witness concerning Me;
All of him, no less.
