  • 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.

Bible Gateway passage: Isaiah 65:17-19 - King James Version

1 Corinthians 2:9 Rather, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him."

Well our mindsets be the same considering nothing of what goes on on this Earth will be remembered.
And not in our deepest imagination do we know what God has in store for us.

So the best I would ever be able to imagine is all on one Accord - perfect harmony - perfect peace.

Very well said. I hope for a world that is full of love and has animals that can talk and I would love to go on a ride on the back of a giant eagle and be liked by a tiger and have an elephant pick me up by its trunk and take me for a ride while we have a fun conversation together. To be able to drink water from any creak and eat fruits from any tree.

If the new world to come is like that, if we can't remember the relationships we had and everything else we had before on earth, that doesn't sound like a "new world" as much as it sounds like God performing a cosmic lobotomy on us so we are no longer who we are.

Peace is being content, but is it really inherently happiness in itself? I imagine happiness as being able to fulfill one's great wishes and gifts without restraint, I imagine peace as more like laying on the lawn chair on a Summer warm day not doing anything. That's the difference I see.

I'd love the eating fruits from any tree and getting along with any animal out there. I think there is at least one thing that will apparently not be restored and that is the physical and spiritual relationship with the opposite sex (as most cited by Matthew 22:30, which most people understand to mean that there is no more male-female pairings or sexual relationships). I still feel bummed out about that one.

It might mean that we live a little bit more like the angels do only in the flesh but I do hope that God takes away the urge. LOL.

I don't see why I would want the urge to be taken away. Then why did it have to exist in the first place? I still think that would be equivalent of some kind of lobotomy thing. I am disappointed personally because my entire life I have been a virgin and only had one girlfriend.

Only the bad memories and the sinful nature of us will be removed and if our sexual nature is removed then we won't miss what we can't remember. all of the good memories and love we have will remain so there is nothing that will be a problem for us in the new world. I am sorry to hear that you haven't found the right partner yet that may happen for you before the new world comes. All the best and I will pray for you.

The sexual nature in itself isn't supposed to be sinful, unless you are one of those people who do think that.

I can only suggest that you put on the armor of God and become a true Christion and if you can find the will to do that 90% of your worries will leave you.

No sexual nature is not sinful it is the perverted sex that God hates but in the new world God may only wish to keep the chosen wones and not allow for further population growth as the new world must stay sustainable for a very long time. The population of the world we live in now has all the problems associated with overpopulation.

Chosen ones? You mean the doctrine or concept of predetermination? Are you Calvinist?

No, just a standard Christion no real denomination. When I say the chosen ones that is the true Christians, not the ones that just claim to be. God knows the truth in all of us and he will only accept the ones that truly know and love him and his Son Jesus.

If overpopulation is a problem, why didn't God warn Adam and Eve about that and in fact called it good?
Well, it was good at that time and there was no need to warn Adam and Eve as God wanted them to begin the population but God did warn them of evil but they fell for the devil's deception and so began sin on earth.

Moor than half of the earth's surface is unproductive like the desert and mountains snow and ice to hot or to cold land that is livable is privately owned or used for other reasons. All the inhabited areas on the earth that are occupied now are about all that is left. To spread out wider and bigger wich goverment has the funds to make the infrastructure the roads the dams the power grids and so on we can't even maintain the avalable equipment that we have now let alone make moor. this is one of the reasons the earth is dying.

One third of the world is suffering from malnutrition and many of them are starving. If we look closely at Satellite imagery of the earth we can see that most of the usable land is all ready taken up by farms and properties that produce our food this land is much larger than all the cities and towns put together. The rest of the land is what's left of the earth's forests and bushlands if we take that away we destroy the homes of native animals and diminish the very oxygen that we breathe. Don't be fooled into thinking we have surplus land available we have taken too much already.
