  • 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

You're off in your reading of that - Romans 9-11 is about what happened between Israel and God [and that, in light of "this mystery" God had kept hid in Himself] that the Gentiles are now being called without Israel being re-born as a redeemed nation first.

Towards that, the above passage you have cited, declares, not Paul's gospel, but the clear opportuniy Israel had had through the witness of those "beautiful feet" God had sent them. Paul is not describing himself.

In the verses I cited Paul said it is the gospel which he [we] preach. The verses you cite about Israel are not a difficulty for me, but I do not see how you can say that the gospel he presented in Romans 10:9-10 is not the gospel he preached. He said it was. That is enough for me.
