• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

God makes no distinction between Jew and greek, why do so many scholars like to ?

Being exiled from the community has to do with association. The exiled person may still be in the same geographic area, but he is forbidden from association with the community.

So at the end of the day, you do agree that being a member of the nation of Israel has nothing to do with geography.

Alright, let's leave it as that

Being a member of the nation of Israel had everything to do with being in the nation, where the nation was, and participating in the national activities. If you were not where the nation was, you were not part of the nation, and even being where they were didn’t automatically make you part of the nation.

At the end of the day, Jethro was never part of the nation of Israel.

You really enjoy circular reasoning

thanks everyone for the great feed back, I am much clearer on this subject now !!
AND maybe not ??

All that Gal 3:28 are several things!!

That is the BODY of Christ there CANNOT // OV , ever beeeeeeeeeeeee, Jew nor Greek , as CANNOT // OV is a

DISJUNCATIVE PARTICIPLE NEGATIVE , meaning there will NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR be Jews or GENTILES in the BODY of Christ ,

Then in Col 3:11 reads differently , Where there CANNOT // OV is also a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICILE NEGATIVE , which also means

there will NEVERRRRRRRR be in the Body of Christ Greek , Jew , Circumcision and uncircumcision , Foreigner , Scythian , slave

( nor ) free, but Christ , is the all things and in all .

And verse 28 says we ARE // ESTE , is in the Greek Present tense , meaning OSAS .

Could say more , but have to go home .
