  • 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 don't believe Paul is teaching that each persons faith, "establishes God's Law", because of the verse you omitted. 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then "make void" the law (Of this One God) through faith? God...

    This is why, in my understanding, so many people argue with you sir. Because of foolish and untrue statement such as the one above. You can find not one word in any of my posts, where I defended the practice of cutting the loose skin off a penis for salvation, and it is my stated position that...

    I never said that all reference to Circumcision in the NT means "only" Jew and Gentile. But most certainly many times Paul used those words, it meant Jew or Gentile. This is simply undeniable Biblical Fact. That is the point I am making. 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the...

    Col. 1: 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not...

    That is popular religious philosophy in this world God placed me it. But consider what is actually written. 18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is...

    The Circumcision Paul speaks to here, is the Circumcision Jesus was a Minister of, that Paul was also made a minster of. A Circumcision of the Heart, as Moses teaches. A circumcision rejected by the Pharisees, the wicked Kings of Israel, the Israelites that fell in the Wilderness, Sodom, and...

    What a wonderful representation of Biblical Truth. Thank you for that. As a father, I had the right, actually demanded the right to instruct my young daughter as to what was food and what was not food. How could she know, unless her father directed her. This is how we are created, isn't it...

    I agree. There is no Jew or Gentile in Christ. There never was even when HIS Spirit was feeding Israel in the Wilderness. I was replying to the mistaken understanding that every time Paul referenced "circumcision" or "uncircumcision" he was referring to the amount of skin on a man's penis...

    I can see how a person might make this mistake, But the Biblical Truth is that Paul calls the promoters and followers of the "Jews religion" the Circumcision, "made with hands". I posted the Scriptures, but perhaps you didn't read them. He also called men who didn't follow the "Jews Religion"...

    Read what it actually says. Gal. 2: 3 But "neither" Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, "was compelled to be circumcised": 4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into...

    Unless of course, it is a JW church, or MacArthur's church, or the Mormon church, or the SDA church, clearly you don't believe we should submit to the Authority of their religion. I don't believe the Bible promotes the popular religious philosophy that Abraham, Caleb, Joshua, David, Shadrack...

    I appreciate the reply. But isn't there a big difference between one of the Chosen "Apostles of Christ", and a "Disciple" of Christ? Apostle means "Ἀπόστολος" means "messenger, he that is sent". (Strongs) John the Baptist would have Also been an Apostle, Yes? While Disciple " μαθητής", means...

    Of course you are right. I asked several questions in my response addressing the scriptures you posted, Gal. 3:2-6. But in the end I said "Let me know where you think I'm off the rails, if indeed you do. Thanks for the discussion." To which you replied: "You are trying to explain Galatians...

    I don't "ignore" any verse written in the Holy Scriptures, Ever! Please stop doing the exact same thing you accuse and complain about others doing to you. How can a man understand who was bewitching the Galatians, if he doesn't understand or believe what Jesus said about those who were...

    I agree. The bickering that goes on between one religious sect and another religious sect is popular but unprofitable. Although Paul did take advantage of this popular practice to divert attention away from the false accusation against him of teaching against God's Laws that the mainstream...
