  • 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.

Is celebrating xmas a sin??

How do you “Know”? Are you the one remotely accessing my webcam?
There was only one sinless man that ever lived, Yeshua. Also, if you are keeping holy days by the Hillel pre-calculated calendar, then you are keeping them on the wrong days (a sin).

Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirms not all the words of this law (Torah) to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

"And all the people shall say, Amen."

All the people agreed to follow the law, so it is not as hard as Christians make it out to be.

I assume, by this post, that you disagree with the translation of Jeremiah 11:1-8? If so, please post the "correct" translation. If not, please explain what you meant.

What I meant was English has had some revisions since 1611.

What about these verses?



Hebrews 13:17English Standard Version (ESV)

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.


Romans 13:2English Standard Version (ESV)

2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.


Titus 3:1English Standard Version (ESV)

3 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

OK. Show me a revision that changes the meaning of the translation I used.

When the source material was a completely different language, using an archaic version of the current language does not make it any more Holy, no matter how many Thes or thous thy havest in it.

Interesting that you would use New Covenant verses to justify your obedience to your leaders. As I understand it, we are to obey our leaders unless they will cause us to disobey our Elohim. YHWH said to keep the Feasts at specific times, but your leaders say, "No. We will go by our man-made postponement rules and cause the Feast days to fall when we want them to."

OK, does your source material in another language say, "Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant" or not?

I posted verses that a CHRISTIAN would understand. These verses are not my justification.

i wonder which one is worse, to be stoned to death or eternal fires? The former Covenant may have been cruel but I'm wondering if the NC is better in terms of the final punishment for sin. I know there's atonement for sins (Thanks to Mashiach's greatest sacrifice for mankind) but I honestly wonder if the NC is less stringent than the former one. Do you know holding a grudge is a sin? For the former covenant, sin seemed to be verbal or one could have evidence of someone having committed that sin but the NC both sins of the heart and the others are enough to convict someone of Judgement. I have never believed that being under NC would be less demanding than the former Covenant!

I think the punishment is always been the same in both covenants and for all men

Do you know that by the time of the 1611 KJV, they no longer used
the thee's and thou's, you's and ye's in normal speech? They went
into the KJV because they are more specific than 'you' singular and
'you' plural, and the translators wanted as close to a word-for-word
translation as they could get without losing the overall meaning.

The Covenant was made with the Jews, not with you.

So Gentiles had no access nor could not convert to Judaism ?

All were Gentiles until circumcised to enter into covenant yes?

Why only the bloodline of Abraham was God favor to enter into covenant and the rest of the world not allowed? I thought it was Jews responsibility to convert men to God through entering the old covenant




It's an everlasting covenant with commandments to be performed for all generations . That is what is actually written in the Torah! To say otherwise is to call Gd a lier.

So you believe there will always be a temple one day and the old covenant exist forever? You don't believe the New Testament account of revelation which says there will be no more temple?


The New Covenant(a renewal of the old one), whenever it comes, will be between Gd and Jews. Again. It's actually written in the prophecy. There seems to be some kind of comprehension problem among the Christians. Some kind of textual blindness??

why does there need to be a renewal of the old covenant between Jews and God?... What happened that there needs to be a renewal? Is it for a new generation of Jews to keep because the last generation failed to keep? Just trying to comprehend your views

These are all excellent examples of the need for harmony, consistency, and trustworthy, righteous leaders who have the heart of God for the people who follow them.
