  • 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.

TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

I don't quite agree on that, because that's not what a district-based system is supposed to accomplish. The goal of a district-based system is that each district has their own representative to represent the specific interests and desires of that district.
Which is why there is Gerrymandering. If politicians can carefully draw districts to break up specific groups so that they never get a representative they want, then the system is corrupt.

Deacon Jang released from prison after 11 years.

Deacon Jang, a Christian who worked on the border of China and North Korea, has been released from prison after 11 years.

Jang was kidnapped from China in November 2014 and sentenced to 15 years in a North Korean prison. He had been ministering to North Koreans who crossed the border into China and had seen a number of them come to faith in Christ.

Jang had been working in the town of Changbai, alongside fellow Korean-Chinese pastor, Han Chung-Ryeol. Although it is illegal to cross into China without permission, North Koreans often visit border towns to buy goods, or medicine.

Jang had regularly provided hospitality for those doing so and discipled those who came to faith, teaching them how to share the gospel with loved ones when they returned home. Release International’s partner for Korea said, ‘We believe the reason for his kidnapping was to gather information about the North Korean ministry work we were doing with Pastor Han.’ Fifteen months after Deacon Jang’s kidnapping and arrest, Pastor Han was lured from his home in Changbai and stabbed to death.

Give thanks for Deacon Jang’s release and pray for his well-being. And for him and his family, healing and comfort and provision in the days ahead.

And all these, these are only a few for this year.

It's like earth has become a junk yard for their supposed space junk.

Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

Most epistles are directed at a church.
None of them were. Most were directed at the Ger Toshav.
None of these were assemblies of Israel.
They all are
None of these were Jewish.
Irrelevant.
“Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church
Mistranslation. The word translates to assembly. I have already proven that. Repeating the mistranslation again, does not legitimize it.
over all things to the church,”
Again
and the church
And again
“To the church
and again
To the churches of Galatia:”
and again
That’s just a few. The word ekklesia appears in the NT over 100 times
Yes, the Greek word is ekklesia; and as I have proven, it means assembly.
with the vast majority referring to the Church that Christ founded which is the body of believers in Christ.
The believers in Yahshua are the assembly of Israel.

Again Yahshua was commissioned for none but Israel. That is what Yahshua said himself.

The renewed covenant is with Israel. That is what YHWH himself said himself.

I'll thrust them over you unsubstantiated opinion.


Since Israel in general refused the messiah they are not part of the body of Christ.
All of Israel accepts Messiah. If they don't accept Messiah; they are not part of Israel, no matter what they claim.

Again, the renewed covenant is with Israel.

Ignoring Jeremiah's, the author of Hebrews', and Paul's, writings doesn't refute that assertion.

He’s a citizen with a Real ID. ICE detained him anyway. Twice.

Just like I said. When they need a warrant they are obtaining one.
But they weren't.

Yes, if they are in areas where illegals are known to be. And of course sanctuary cities would he hot beds of illegals. If you raid a place with illegals then anyone matching the profiles of the illegals are going to be looked at.
Without someone saying something, how do you know where they are known to be". I have lived in Arizona for 40 plus years, and there are legal Hispanics and illegal Hispanics around. That is back to "looking brown, must be illegal."


This is rhe consequences of allowing 20 million illegals lose in the country.
That number has never been actually proven. Maybe if you add the illegals in Biden's term, and Trump's first term and many years besides that, you might get 20 million


It is unfortunate that Trump didn't want that bill reforming immigration to pass which would have helped a great deal.

Stop Giving Your Jewish Kids Dumb Names

Gentiles behaved just as badly or worse. Everyone behaved badly from Adam forward and there were consequences. Hence the need for a New Covenant...
And you're making my point again. But I don't want to quibble further. Have a blessed evening, my brother.
