• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Paul didn't have a copy of any of the Gospels when he wrote that. He also did not have the benefit of studying under Yahshua during Yahshua's ministry. Paul taught primarily from the TaNaK. However, I would by no means call him a spiritual baby.

He was having Christians thrown in Jail and even killed. He had no written stories about Jesus and His ministry to work with. The stuff us Grown Up Christians have learned about in Sunday School as children.

The reason why stained glass widows exist in churches is because for hundreds of years most people couldn't read. So they needed the gospel presented in pictures.

Have you not been taught by Yahshua?

Why no actually, I have been taught by the Holy Spirit which resides within me.

Which leads me into all truth.

You have misunderstood, when I say Paul was taught by Jesus personally, I do not say it as a metaphor but a biblical fact.

Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Interesting.

(CLV) Mt 23:8
"Now you may not be called `Rabbi,' for One is your Teacher, yet you all are brethren.

(CLV) Mt 23:9
And `father' you should not be calling one of you on the earth, for One is your Father, the heavenly.

(CLV) Mt 23:10
Nor yet may you be called preceptors, for One is your Preceptor, the Christ.

If this spirit is teaching you; how do you test that spirit?

(CLV) 1Jn 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God, for many false prophets have come out into the world.
