• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

There are many people that call them selves CHTISTIANS ,

The Greek word CHRISTIAN / CHRISTIANOS means that a person is a FOLLOWER of Christ , found in Acts 11:26 and in Acts 26:28 .

One church say that they began in Matt 16:18 as there beginning .

I as a MID-ACTS DISPENSATIONALIST use Acts 9:5 , 1 Cor 12:3 and 1 Tim 1:15 and 16 to prove Christianity began with SAUL/ Paul as this is where the BODY OF CHRIST began and 1 Cor 12:13 and Gal 3:28 . and Col 1:18 .

Others say it began with PETER in Matt 16:18 say that PETER / PETRA , I WILL BUILD/ OIKODOMEO which is in the Greek FUTURE TENSE , ACTIVE VOICE , and in the INDICATIVE MOOD , ACTIVE VOICE , and SINGULAR and believe that the BODY OF CHRIST could NEVER start in the OLD COVENANT and never in the NEW COVENANT ,

But who is the REAL STONE ?

In 1 Peter 2:4 we see who the real STONE IS , and called a Living STONE and disallowed indeed of men , who was Israel and that is why the Greek FUTURE TENSE in used , and will all happen in the MELLIENIUM . called the 1000 years reign of Christ .

The apostle Peter is dead and will NEVER start an EKKELESIA .

Christ is called A STONE of STUMBLING and a ROCK OF OFFENCE .

There is no reason to believe that the Church began with Paul. That would negate Christ's commandment to his apostles to "go forth into all the world..." You say that you use Acts 9:5 as proof of whatever it is you're claiming, but that then erases all of Acts up until chapter 9. Are we to say that the men of Samaria of Acts 8 were not part of the Church? The notion of "mid-Acts dispensationalism" is only a recent contrivance and is contrary to the traditions of Christianity and the new testament.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Chief Cornerstone.
