• 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.

some people believe that if we die before Christ comes we go to hell, but not the lake of Fire. They believe that when Christ returns we will be resurrected and with the Lord forever....... Is this true?? bcuz i was taught that when we die we got to either Heaven or hell. And ofcourse Christians go to heaven.

Hi D2L,

Don't get involved with all this stuff, if you do, you'll get ulcers.

When you die, you know where you will be going then when you stand in front of our Saviour and Master.

You know what the Law is so live it the best way that you can, and don't get involved with technicalities or legalities.

If you are a Christian, you definitely will not go to hell. I honestly don't know where we will be until Christ comes, but God loves us to much to send us to hell. The whole purpose that Jesus dies was to keep us from having to go to hell. But I wouldn't worry about where we go, because we know God will take care of us. And we always have Heaven to look forward too!!

When you die, if you are a Christian, you go to Heaven ~ but the others are right, It's sure not something to cause worries. I believe this earthly experience is to teach us about the LOVE of Christ!

Be Blessed & at Peace!

This is based on a confusion of words in Greek. The word most often translated "Hell" (and there're others) -- "Hades" is sometimes simply "the place of the dead". But other times it definitely points to a place of punishment.

But that doesn't change the reality that we're headed for.
For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are alive [lit. awake] or dead [lit. asleep] we might live with him. 1 Thess 5:9-10

Whoever told you that was not telling the truth. Paul, who was in prison and looking at the very real possibility of a death sentence because of his preaching, wrote:


"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body." - Phillipians 1:21-24

Also, remember:

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." - Romans 8:1-2
