  • 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.

Correct me if i am wrong ,but the GLORIOUS appearing of Jesus will happen AFTER the Tribulation.
As mentioned by Jesus Himself in Matthew 24:29-31
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and GREAT GLORY.
31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Won't we see Him when He comes in the clouds to rapture us?

Well, I won't say this is below average in terms of explanations you've given for your statements...
How can one explain the clueless chirping of frightened men of science that are freaking out wanting to evacuate the planet??

We will not go higher than the clouds to meet Jesus,when Jesus will come in Glory After the Tribulation.

Ah, the ol' post-trib, pre-trib debate. :D
The sad part is that Dad talk about Hawkings folly of saying that we must escape the earth for fear of the aliens (fallen angels)
While that the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine tell them the same thing...that they will escape the Earth before that Satan and his falling angels are cast out of Heaven.

-However there is no mention of a rapture/caught up to Heaven before or after the Tribulation mentioned anywhere in the Bible.
The only thing teached in the Bible is a caught up of the Believers in Christ to meet Jesus in the clouds UNTO Jesus coming.

We will not go higher than the clouds to meet Jesus,when Jesus will come in Glory After the Tribulation.
What strange story is this? Even regular believers NOW go higher than clouds when we die. At the rapture we meet in the clouds, that doesn't mean we stay there because we go where He is. The visions of Revelation had to do with heaven, and that is not in the clouds here.

Matthew 24:29-31
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
No doubt that we will see Jesus when He comes for us, and the folks here when He returns to earth later will also see Him.

31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Yes He will gather us from earth here where we are. Not to ditsy around in the clouds during the tribulation though.

Being caught up and saved by Jesus is not anything like trying to save ourselves by leaving earth! How foolish.
-However there is no mention of a rapture/caught up to Heaven before or after the Tribulation mentioned anywhere in the Bible.
So? Who says the rapture is after the tribulation?

The only thing teached in the Bible is a caught up of the Believers in Christ to meet Jesus in the clouds UNTO Jesus coming.
He comes twice once to get us and later to take over and return to earth.

That has zero to do with the freaky fearful fantasies of physicists.

I don't see how the aliens is relevant to . . . anything, really. Someone can be theologically sound and still think the odds are astronomically (heh) low that there is not extraterrestrial life.
The relevance of the alien boogy men feared by great scientists of the world, is that it shows they truly are clueless and not of God.

How does admitting there is likely extraterrestrial life of some sort imply that someone is not of God?

When we DIE the SOULS of the believers go to Heaven.Can you show us a scripture saying that you will go directly to Heaven while that you are STILL ALIVE ?
At the rapture we meet in the clouds, that doesn't mean we stay there because we go where He is. The visions of Revelation had to do with heaven, and that is not in the clouds here.
Show us in the Book of Revelation a verse saying that people are raptured to Heaven while they are still alive.The Book of Revelation talk about SOULS in Heaven see Revelation 6 .

Claiming we need to evacuate God's earth in fear rather than repent and trust Jesus is simply not of God.

Jesus Himself say that He will come only one more time -immediately AFTER the Tribulation of those days-....don't you believe Him ?When you say that He will come twice you denied what Jesus said Himself.

We go into the air to meet Him while alive. We that are alive will do that. Then we go to heaven with Him.

Why try to turn a thread exposing the fearmongers of science today into some cult like religious nonsense thread?

How is this an either/or situation? One could easily think it wise that we find a way off the planet while simultaneously trusting in God.
