  • 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.

Like all Christians I take the Bible seriously. IITim 3:16. And I recognize among the teachings of the Scripture priorities are set. I Cor 13:13. Mt 23:23. So, though all Scripture should be taken seriously, it puzzles me that today some seem to prioritize the herbs and neglected justice like Jesus said. I would just like to ask how one explains that. I am listening. Here’s two examples of two types of reversed priorities.

1) First question. Mt 19:9 which is the main point. Yet the priority is on Mt 19:5 with regard to a completely different subject. Why?

2) Second question. Clearly Jesus didn’t cancel the law. Mt 5:17. “not to abolish”. But clearly to do something about it. “to fulfill them”

How? His death and resurrection obviously. But what else? So there are indications. Like Mt 7:12; 12:12; Mt 22:36-40; Lk 11:46. So, though the ten commandments are still valid; why do they get prominence over the ‘fulfillment’ treatment that Jesus gives them?

The Law will be fulfilled by The Jews (who all will be a believer in Jesus) during the 1000 year rule of The Messiah on earth. They will fulfill the law perfectly. As satan will be bound and will not be a presence on earth.

The Law is how The Messiah will rule the earth during the 1000 year millennium rule.

d taylor is a proponent of the 'Free Grace' Gospel. Which teaches that all you need to do to be saved is believe Jesus gives eternal life. No Cross, no repentance, no acknowledging Christ as Lord.

Ah, cool. Surely that's one way to see it. Amidst the colorful semiotics of Revelations. It allows a free for all of speculations. But, I like one of the last verses there "And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price." Anyway, thanks for your perspective.
