• 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.

Death, Famine, War, and Conquest

It was Pestilence

The horseman of Conquest traditionally symbolises 'pestilence', just as the food merchant symbolises 'famine'. Their meanings/labels depend on which particular book they're taken from and how they're interpreted in various traditions.

If there is supposed to be an infinity of them, all possibilities will be there - why could they not be very different?

We shift to the closest. And so… not very different.

Because there is a perfectly rational explanation that does NOT require us to believe that we are moving between different universes.

A perfectly rational… wrong explanation.

Because there is no record of anything like it in the Patristic writings or the Sacred Scriptures, or even the Apocrypha (even the Gnostic apocrypha, which is saying something). I would also argue it is incompatible with Buddhism.
