• 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.

  • 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

Just looking for everyones views on this. What do you think, do you accept like mainstream christianity that sin entered mankind as a result of the first sin, and that becuase of this mankind is entirely lost to sin. Or do you accept like judaism the idea of HaShem creating an evil inclination within mankind to tempt them so that they may overcome it themselves for him (with of cource, Teshuvah for when that fails).

Im personally not quite sure which is correct to be honest, there are no messianic congregations in my country (northern Ireland) so Im not quite fully sure on which path is the true one from HaShem on this issue (should maybe pray about it some more)

Anyway thanks in advance for your views
Shalom and G-d bless

To me this is two ways of saying the same thing - if you don't overcome Ayin Ra, if you don't make T'shuvah you are lost - you can't do either without His help. NO one can do this without failing, that why EVERYONE needs atonement. Jew and Gentile.
