  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I think I am going invent my own blanket term for the person who will be

the little horn>prince who shall come>the Antichrist>the revealed man of sin>the beast

as being "the great opposer" (to Jesus).

Because "the Antichrist" term is inappropriate to refer to the person in blanket fashion.

little horn horn, beast - 7th Julio Claudian King of the Roman empire; then later the 8th Julio Claudian King of the Roman empire.

Antichrist - King of Israel coming in his own name.

___________________________________________

The great opposer as...

the little horn

then as the prince who shall come

then as the Antichrist

then as the revealed man of sin

then as the beast.

That's true - it's most certainly inappropriate to refer to "this person" in a blanket fashion, because the Bible does not teach that there's one person that is referred to.
