  • 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

What do you think would have hapened if the Jews had not rejected Messiah, was it possible for them to accept Him?

IMHO it is a waste of time trying to even think about it. We have an all knowing God who knew the beginning form the end. Even before creation God knew that Lucifer would attempt to usurp His position, and that man would fall. God then made plans/provisions to defeat satan and mankind to be redeemed. God's solution to both problems was the Cross.

With all respect ... then why did you waste the time to post to it? If it isn't worth the time to think of, surely posting to it is a waste of time as well, and yet, if you stay tuned, I think you will find that many will learn something through what you referred to as a waste of time. :)

If the Jews has acceped Jesus as Lord and king then there would have been no need for the Crucifixion.
No, not so.
He was the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the world -and the Father laid our sins and iniquities on Him

Just gave you my opinion being I am retired and didn't have much to do at the moment. Hope someone learns from it because I didn't.

IF they would have accepted him as King that would have brought in the 1000 yr reign!

Since salvation is by the power of God! romans 1:16

the ones in power were unbelievers thus by the demons easliy conviencing them to kill Him

Christ had to be crucified, that is why He chose the Jews, He always knew they were a stiff necked people, and that only the Jew would have crucified Him, thereby fulfilling the prophesies concerning Him.

IN His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

Hello all.....we only exist by the will of God to begin with..... we are just part of somthing God wants to do.... and will achieve in his own good time.

Lots of people out there seem to think they have some say in it....the reality is they had no say in being here to begin with..... no say in the hour of their birth....no say in the times they where born into....no say in the cultural or family back ground, country of birth or even their Gender.

The Good News is that you do actualy have enough freedom of action to do at least one thing......

To believe the word of God.....or not.


Peace

All who have been (or will be ) justified by faith owe thier righteousness to the sacrifice of Messiah on the cross. Without the shedding of His blood we have no redemption, we would all be still in our sins.

:wave:

Yes, He had (sadly ) to die if we were to live, yet this was all God's plan, who would have had the nerve to ask for this glorious gift?

That is too bad. Stick arround you might, BTW it isn't all about learning... it is about teaching too, don't you think? Do you think any one else is learning anything from this discussion?

What if's don't count. But if the world had accepted Jesus as king then who would be left to crucify him? Space aliens? Or what if he had been killed by a runaway chariot? Then God would have had to start over?

I have thought about that whow would have killed Him??? The same ones who killed Him in history, the Romans! What do you think?
