  • 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.

I had a friend yesterday who came up to me and felt like the Lord was speaking to me in many ways, but I wasn't dealing with it the right way. He has no idea about this forum, he just got a word from the Lord. He told me he saw a vision of the Lord showing me stuff that needed to be dealt with. He then saw a huge and beautiful sword that the Lord put on the floor. I began to pick it up and then put it down and got out my small sword because it was easier. He said the large sword was the sword of the Spirit, the small one was the sword of the flesh. I can't fight principalaties after God gives me discernment with the sword of the flesh, only with the sword of the Spirit.

Anyways, what does this mean? I need to apologize that I was guilty of Lashon HaRah and used a sword in the flesh rather than in the Spirit (prophetic intercession).

I did generalize which is wrong as well. I still disagree with about three people's attitudes on this board towards christians, but I will drop it and forgive them as well. Zayit, Talmidah, and others I didn't mean to put you in the generalization.

Simchat Torah, Hix, and Heynanei(sometimes)..we will agree to disagree and move on, I am sorry and wish you well in your search for G-d.

I will say that I was hurt, and a believer shouldn't take offense, when you called me a christian youth pastor and said the messianics I am affiliated with are "christianity in a kippa." But I forgive you.

I would also like to defend myself on one point in that I never called anybody here a heretic, although I did claim I believed a doctrine spoken here about the atonement of Yeshua not being valid was heretical according to the Nicean Creed and the board rules of what heresy was. But I will agree to disagree here as well.

I did generalize and call some people on the forum legalists because of their opinion on halacha being from Sinai, I am sorry about that.

That being said, I really am not coming back because I have youth who need discipleship, projects to plan, and need time with Abba.

The cooky messianic,
Sean

I just see a bunch of accusations.

*sigh*

Some people can't simply let an apology be an apology.


my 2 cents.


I'd just like to say that those of you who were listed as exceptions have all gone the third mile for this Gentile Christian in a very short time, as have others here, and I lack the verbal skills to adequately thank you all.

Shalom be upon you Sean! I don't think you are kooky. Just a little outspoken...and I see the humility can dwell in you! You are not there yet, but HaShem is with you!

I invite you to check out my Congregation in Jerusalem if you are ever there for Shabbat. It's at Narkis St., it's called the Narkis St. Congregation. In the mornings the service is English, in the afternoons in Hebrew. You will see that we are not much different than your average "evangelical" congregation. You will see we are as kooky and Christian loving as you...but we respect the Rabbis nonetheless. We respect the Torah, but Yeshua is the reason for our faith. You are wrong to think we place the emphasis in the wrong place.

Shalom u'brakhot.
