  • 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.

The Messianic was the first congregation

And I have also wondered the similarities in which I would call earth ages. I drew up this image in the long ago. Had I to do over again I would have continued the first two churches to the end of the age. Considering remnants of the first congregation Messianic, and the second Oriental Orthodox, such as we have in Ethiopia. The Messianic congregation being a very hard group to trace.

In studying these things it looks like the church at Corinth originated pure Jewish. Synagogue and all...

7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshiped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. - Acts 18
