  • 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.

I see. I didn't realize that you used the Pharisaic Talmud as your compass. The Torah says the lineage is of the Father. This clarifies the root of many of our disagreements. I'll just stick with the Torah. Thanks for sharing.
Where does Torah say what you claim?

You want to try again. The narrative states definitively that is why Paul circumcised Timothy.
Do you really think that I know Pharisaic Talmud? Do you really think I care?
Let's try this one more time, since you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge this:
Titus>Greek>not circumcised.
Titus>>>>>>Greek>>>>>>not circumcised. Read Galatians 2, since you think you know the facts. Re-read Acts, since your facts are not consistent with what is written.
You are the one who uses the fact that Paul circumcised Timothy to support the necessity of doing so. Now you say that the reason given in the narrative that explains his actions are Talmud, and therefore non sequitur. Only one conclusion follows: your whole argument is non sequitur. Keep trying, but at some point, if you keep saying the same thing over and over when you have been proven false, is just an old fashioned lie.
Acts 16:[CLV]1 Now he arrives also at Derbe and at Lystra. And lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman, yet of a Greek father, 2 who was attested by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. 3 This one Paul wants to come out with him, and, taking him, circumcised him because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all were aware that his father belonged to the Greeks."
Was Paul being a hypocrite here? The reason, as stated sounds a lot like why Peter stopped eating with the Greeks.
So to be clear, YOU need to read Acts 16 to support your claims.
