• 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.

Exodus is not supported by archaeology.

At some point in time, the Hebrews are indeed ruthless nomadic invaders feared by everyone. This is confirmed in historical accounts and in the Bible.

It's probably one reason they became a persecuted race.
The Jews became a feared and hated people because of what was written about them starting in the first century CE and continuing through modern times.

Rahab says otherwise.

And I'll take what she says over what academia says any day of the week.

After all, she was there.

Another typically ignorant statement.
Are you suggesting the history of anti-Semitism and the reasons behind it was cooked up by academics?

If it makes you feel better, I was addressing the "feared" part of her post, not the "hated" part.

What a load of absolute rubbish.
I ask you again are you suggesting anti- Semitism and the reasons behind it were cooked up by academics?
Nice try, chief.

Won't work.

You know if I answered that, I'd get moderated.

But if you want a hint, here's a good one:

Egypt is a type of the world, academic and otherwise.

Go and read Exodus 1.

Your ridiculous attempts at word games are noted to deflect the issue as are your offensive comments in trivializing the persecution of the Jews throughout history.
