  • 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.

What if God disappeared?

Oh geez, ok this video is stressing me out because of how awfully it is set up. I get the attempt of creating some sort of antithesis of God disappearing, but if God disappeared, there would be nothing because God is sovereign over everything, God is the I am, God is the alpha and the omega, God controls everything (therefore natural disasters would not just strike at random), God is love, we know right from wrong because God is good, if God disappeared is a question that is asking for a philosophical loop. Also, all the things he is saying would happen if God disappeared are happening...

Also to Phaedron, we don't know for sure whether we will be "raptured" before or after tribulation. This is a deep ongoing theological argument of pretrib, midtrib, or posttrib.

I am not trying to come off as condescending, but this video doesn't make a valid point, and may confuse or frighten people who don't have strong discernment. Like I said before, all the things this guy in the vid is saying would happen if God disappeared are ALREADY happening, but "random" natural disasters aren't random because God is sovereign over it all even when they are random to us and we don't understand why things happen to us. God has a plan and purpose for all things.

The video is blasphemous and obviously done by an unbeliever. I do not think mocking God is funny and God never laughs at Himself.
Oh that is obvious, but what about what Phaedron said:
When God disappears, all hell will break loose. Fortunately, we who are raptured get to disappear with him. Then he'll come back and his wrath will begin.
Is that a scriptural perspective?
