You know I am of Jewish descent. I actually think that a jewish or hebrew forum would be a good idea, not because of me but because i think it would benefit both Christians and jews to communicate together.

Thank you,that is my point. If we can be welcoming to Muslims we certainly should be welcoming to those of Jewish faith,where our faith springs from.

Yes,Ive fought many a battle on here concerning the Jews and their being the chosen people.Today I had to ask that someone be banned because they posted a video saying that Jews were never gassed during the Holocaust. I will always stand with Israel.

Jesus was a Jew so if Christians have a problem with the Jews they have a problem with Jesus

My arms to sharing and learning are open to most everyone, but if I bang heads with Pharisees who believe in Jesus, can you imagine my dialogue with someone who comes to CC and proclaims Jesus is not the Messiah. I will respectfully stay away from such forums so that I may delay my inevitable banning from CC.

With respect, that's simply not so, my brother. There's a big difference between having a problem with the Messiah and having a problem with people who deny Jesus is the Messiah.

Well, most actual Israelis are atheists.

And most "practicing" Jews are probably not interested in debating the Christian Messiah.

So, I'm ok with whatever kind of forum... but this is probably a non-starter.

Title to the Arab forum says...Arab speaking? Muslim, former Muslim, or from a Muslim country?...that to me is welcoming Muslims is it not?
Click to expand...

We had (for a while) a large number of Christian users from the Middle East for whom a language specific (Arabic) would be appropriate so they can (if they choose) post in their native tongue.

The intent of the Arab Forum was in line with the intent of the India Forum and the Filipino Forum as being a special forum where users could post in their native tongue rather than being restricted to English as in the rest of the board.

The title of the forum including current Muslims would be specifically referencing Muslims who are seeking to come out of Islam, not those who are joining solely to defend or promote Islam.

As long as Ive been here I still dont know who all the mods are {oncefallen?}. So I'll say that the title is not clear if what you are saying is true. Perhaps it needs to be made more clear.That being said Im seeing too many posts against Israel and Jews and it concerns me. The Muslim faith is being talked about by Muslims in the Arab forum.So if that is not the purpose of the forum I would expect to see all these threads banned. That is why I mentioned having a Jewish forum. If one faith is being discussed then so should all faiths.

I was one of the Administrators up until a few months ago so I can speak (type?) with confidence about the intent of the Arab Christian Forum. The site Admin/Mod team routinely removes (I still help out with these duties) pro-Islam threads and users who are obviously solely here for the purpose of promoting Islam rather than seeking the truth of Christianity.

Just earlier today an over the top holocaust denier thread was removed from the board once it came to our attention. Sometimes it can take a few hours or more for action to be taken after a thread is reported because we are all volunteers who log in as we have time.

Yes,I was the one that asked it to be removed and Im glad that it was and it was quite quickly I must say. As I said I am concerned about threads popping up that seem to be quite anti-semetic lately,not just in the Arab forum.That is why I brought up this suggestion.I feel better with your response though.Thank you.

Technically yes, but they don't believe in Christ, and this is still a christian site.

Nothing "technical" about it. The Jews and Christians worship the same God. The Jews even see Yeshua in the OT but they will not tell you that. They don't believe the NT is the word of God and that is why we as Christians should read and understand both. If you ever chat with a Jew about religion you will have to speak to him from the OT as that is their bread and butter and they will chew you and spit you out if you don't have a good knowledge of both...

Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Exactly! Cool quote from Hosea about ISRAEL... you nailed it!

[SUP]1[/SUP]Return, Israel, to the Lord your God.
Your sins have been your downfall!
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Take words with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
“Forgive all our sins
and receive us graciously,
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.

(Hosea 14: 1-2 / NIV)
