  • 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.

Are we, or are we not experiencing the Greatest Falling Away from the Faith since the inception of the Messianic Congregation of the First Advent?

Should we not also expect the two Wings of a Great Eagle to Rapture us unto the Holy Mount which Yehuah has made his (Heavenly) Abode, and promises to establish his House of Prayer?

To Where did the Disciples of Yeshuah Flee when Rome came to sack Yerûʷsʰləm?

We know that he will establish his Kingdom here on Earth [which is seated in the midst of Heaven (the Earth's Atmosphere)], at the Foot of Babylon [the Nation which Exercises World Domination], which comprises every nationality, though cleaving to one another, we also know that they shall not remain United.

Where does the North meet the South, and the East meet the West? Where do the Four Corners of the Earth all meet? Where is the Place Called by his Name?

Have not the Sins of the אמרי (Ameri) come to their Full? Where is the Great Mountain Burning with Fire being Cast into the Sea? Surely someone has the Faith of a Mustard Seed!

When you say "we" are you referring to todays Messianic Jewish congregations ?

Since the last 50 or so years are there now just as many (or more) Israeli Messianic Jewish Believers in Veshua HaMashiach (by Faith) as during the First Advent ... OR ... do you believe there are former Messianic Jews now falling away (backsliding) from Faith in Yeshua preferring instead to follow as many of the 613 statutes (that are still possible to follow)?

What is most remarkable is that Jewish fasts of old were undertaken by people who had a lot less to eat than we do today. Not only was there less food overall, but it was far more seasonal and its supply less predictable. Yet despite all this, they were able to fast twice a year for *forty days at a stretch, eighty days in total. There were also “ember days” sporadically throughout the year at the change of seasons, when a daylong fast was enjoined.​
Is that just so much religious hearsay as *it's not clear in the OT or NT (*40 Days at a stretch, twice a year)?

Faith or Law? (Without FAITH it is impossible to please Yahweh (YHVH). Supposedly it was near impossible for the Jews to keep the LAW ... thus the sacrifice of Yahweh''s Lamb for the peoples sins once and forever.


Just to be c;lear the '"Messianic Congregation of the First Advent" was also a form of Christianity. ... FWIW the MJ forum is considered to be a Christian forum by the administrators of these CHRISTIANS FORUMS.

I'm actually referring to the Abrahamic faiths in general, those who are Falling Away are either ending up as a Messianic of sorts or as an Atheist.

I am using the first Advent as a reference point in time.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a Falling Away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [reading from 2nd Th 2:3]
