  • 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.

[Galatians 6:16 KJV] "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace [be] on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." ********* I think the Israel of God is the believing remnant who believed Peter's preaching. *********** [Galatians 6:15 KJV] "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature." ********* In this preceding verse we have the circumcision, which is the Jews. The uncircumcision, which is the Gentiles. A new creature, which is the body of Christ. What is missing is the Israel of God, the believing remnant.

I believe Paul was referring to the Christians in the Galatian Church as 'the Israel of God'.

I dont think so because this would be the body of Christ called a new creature in v15
In the body there is no Jew

AND in Gal 6:16 is speaking to Israel only and the word MERCY. toward Israel. means Kindness or goodwill. the miserable and

the affected with a desire to help Israel

AS Israel wil be set aside in ACTS 28:25-28 and in ISA 6:8-13. !!

If you mean the modern state of Israel, Jewish belief tends to consider God to be the energy behind and coexisting of the Jewish people, emanating imperfectly through the divine tree. The masculine aspect of God goes with them, the feminine remains in Jerusalem which is why the 'shuckle' at the wailing wall in order to magically engage and gain from the energies.

Do you understand that Judiaism is a religion? And that there are people called Jews who go to synagogues? Do you understand that Chabad is the biggest Jewish group in America?

Chabad, not Charade. I had not heard of Chabad, but it apparently it is a word:

"Chabad, also known as Lubavitch, Habad and Chabad-Lubavitch[2] (US: /xəˈbɑːd luˈbɑːvɪtʃ/; Hebrew: חב״ד לובביץּ׳; Yiddish: חב״ד ליובאוויטש), is a Hasidic dynasty and global movement within Haredi Judaism. It is among the world's largest, most influential, and most publicly visible movements of Hasidic Judaism, known for its extensive network of institutions and active engagement with Jews of all affiliations worldwide, in contrast to the generally insular orientation of most Haredi groups."

(A charade refers to an act or event that is clearly false.)

"Israel" is God's "chosen" people. Romans 9:6

Jacob and his descendants were the Israel of the first covenant.
Jesus Christ and his followers are the Israel of the new covenant.


Galatians 6:14-16
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.

A person who has been baptized into Christ, as he commanded in Matthew 28:18-20, is a new creation spiritually. His baptism washed away all his sins, and thereby, he was reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Jew and Gentile in one body, the Church.

LITERAL TRANLATION , For in Christ Jesus neither. circumcisionis is of. any force. nor uncircumcision. , but a NEW.

CREATION Maning the BODY OF CHRIST. !!

And in. Matt 28:16. the CONTEXT , Jesus is speaking to. the 11 Disciples and do you know of anyone who has gone

to teach all nations , BAPTIZING. and NOTICE that it does not say WATER //. HYDOR , BAPTIZING ??

Read ACTS 1:5 EXPLAINS IT FOR ALL. !!
