  • 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.

If the rapture is about to happen, what Christians need to be doing is not just preaching the Gospel but praying for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. There may be people calling themselves Christians who aren't, but if they are Christians, they have the Holy Spirit abiding within them.

The rapture is a 19th century fable constructed by blokes like John Nelson Darby and popularized by Cyrus Scofield, check your history.

Check the new testament. Enoch and Elijah experienced it. Isaiah 26 alludes to it. Jesus spoke about it in John 14. The apostle Paul wrote about it in 1 Thessalonians 4. Revelations 4, 11 refers to it. It is featured in a Jewish Moed- September, October.
And Christian Bible prognosticators have been predicting the occurrence since 53 AD. I have the list. Herald Camping being the most recent. Those who say it'll happen this March (2013) is another attempt at it.

If people keep saying it's going to happen each year, they will eventually be right.

The Bible talks about the believers meeting Christ in the air before the judgment, that's a very different thing to the rapture idea in most American Christian minds which is just as Big Fudge describes; a 19th C fable cooked up to further an artificial distinction of the people of God.

Meeting Christ "in the air" refers to meeting Him...in spirit. Air, as used there isn't the atmosphere but rather is pneuma, spirit...the breath of life.

When we physically pass away or "are changed" we are then in spiritual bodies and those are the bodies in which we meet Him.

Another incredible witness to the abomination of desolation in March.

I truly hope everyone that has been keeping up with the witnesses for the this happening on the 22nd will begin to see the staggering amount of witnesses that are precluding that event.

Here is another INCREDIBLE one.

An ice sculpture in the likeness of Mr. Obama is going to be placed 666 meters from the temple mount.

The End Times Forecaster

Alert ! Ice Statue Honoring OBAMA To be Put up In ISRAEL ! « vineoflife.net

Are the scoffers starting to see how all these things are too incredible to ignore?

Please ready yourself; please pray our Heavenly Father shows us the truth.
Be one of the WISE virgins; READY when the bridegroom comes!

Come Lord Jesus

In Isaiah 14 right after speaking of Lucifer...he then goes on to speak of the man of sin,or the anti-Christ ,or the son of perdition in whom Satan will dwell. And he describes him...that people should narrowly look upon him...like, how did this vile criminal deceive the entire world,and bring it into desolation. Not like you hear of him in the fairy tail books like left behind.

The spirit of sin
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

That man of sin in whom he shall fully dwell

Isa 14:16
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Isa 14:17That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Barack Obama fits that description perfectly!

Um, that better fits Harry Truman maybe. Obama hasn't done any earth-trembling, kingdom shaking, world-into-wilderness making, or city destroying.

It's all a rather accurate description of the King of Babylon who Isaiah was actually prophesying against, seriously just jumping into an oracle part way through is no way to exegete it.

When will you actually wake up and believe all the things which are happening and are in process right now? When your getting a chip in your hand,and your forehead? Is that what it will take for you to believe your Bible?

By the way...I didn't mean that as far as your faith in CHRIST,and SALVATION is concerned. So sorry if it sounded like that. Eschatology is where our Calvinistic similarities differ. I'm not a Calvinist at all when it comes to Eschatology. Lol...I mean 600 hundred years of future time,and development have passed since him. Lol...But I still very much love his writings.

But when mammon takes the form of the Mark of the Beast{Satan}...which is an electronic cashless society...be which if one does not except it. They shall not be able to by or sell. Is where GOD draws the line.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

So Satan and currency have always been ties together. People will be getting chipped under the Obama Care Health Bill...Starting the 23rd of this month.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

It's going to be the greatest black mail in human history. I can almost 100% guarantee that one of the very next huge events to happen. Is that the Federal Reserve\Obama\The Elite Bankers...are going to pull the plug on the American dollar...And cash will be worth as much as the worthless paper it's written on.

Reality will speak for itself soon enough. :thumbsup:

Like the "reality" that London was going to be bombed during the Olympics? That a massive disaster was on the way because someone had "seen" it on a playing card??

What exactly is going to happen a week on Friday? Just so that I don't waste time in triviality, like washing the kitchen floor, or something more serious, like doing my essay on evangelism?

Hey...just because that didn't happen doesn't mean a darn thing. People were just warning others of the high probability that something could happen. That's how our Satanic leaders work. Noah was building a ark for a 130 years and telling the people a flood was coming. You will just be a person who knows when it's obvious.
