  • 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.

Romans 11:26?

But you can't lop off a person's ancestry. Paul is speaking about people who value God's kindness or not. They stand by faith, or not. It is not about ancestry. Otherwise all Christians should be on their way to get modern Israel's citizenship papers. Have you? why not? What possible reason could you have for not getting Israeli citizenship?

So if you believe the olive tree is descendancy, then you, me and many believers are out of luck.

Can you not see why descendancy is repudiated (Jn 1) and no longer matters? This is a MAJOR NT theme. How can you miss it?

You have a lot of zeal and very little knowledge, Rom 10:2

You have no clue what I believe interplanner..

IN CHRIST there is NEITHER Jew or Gentile... for the zillionth time..

Outside of CHRIST there are Jews, Gentiles, and the church of God..

Simple biblical facts... and you argue about them as if they're meaningless.

There we have some truth from you, brother. You are trying to operate in two systems. Christianity and Judaism. We don't have anything to do with what is outside of Christ. Our theology is Christian--that which is in Christ. All the promises to the fathers are fulfilled in His resurrection. We do not beleive 2P2P. Judaism says it is a separate reality but in the OT.

Christianity does not have a 2nd set of beliefs for those who are not Christians! How much plainer can it be?

I can only do a half hour of this at a time. Your time spent posting is time lost studying which would be much better for you , me and others here. Have a good night.

Because they don't want to learn. They are afraid of what they will learn. They are in churches full of people who insult instead of learn, or who despise instead of learn. They don't have the master's level language and history background that some of us have, so they call it "gibberish" to cope with it.
