  • 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

1 Corinthians 12:27 contradicts your post.
And I believe ! Cor 12:27 and that does change what CHRISIAN // CHRISTIANOS actually n means .

It seem to my that you are following Peter and in 1 Peter 3:16 that what Paul has written are HARD to understand

which they that are unlearned and UNSTABLED wrest , as they do also the other scriptures unto the OWN DESTRUCTION .

We are to follow Paul as written in 1 Cor 11 : 1 , You become IMITATORS of me , just as I also am of Christ .

Follow Paul and LIVE as he preach"s saved by Grace , Eph 2:8 !!

So, it is "God's children" who are "the children of the promise" that are regarded as "Abraham's offspring" in a spiritual sense.

Abraham is not Israel, only Jacob is Israel (Gen. 32:27-28)

You can have Abraham as your father while still having zero connection with Jacob. (Genesis 25:1-4)

Not relevant.

Abraham is not Israel, only Jacob is Israel (Gen. 32:27-28)

We are discussing who is Israel in Romans 9:6 in this thread.

You can have Abraham as your father while still having zero connection with Jacob. (Genesis 25:1-4).

So if you are not Jacob's seed, you cannot be Israel.

You shall not surely die huh?
Abraham and HIS seed.
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
