• 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.

Support you position without inserting "age," "ages," "the age," "the next age" in any text that they do not occur in.
What makes you think I support temporary hell? I don't

The devil and his messengers will end up there forever, no question

Perhaps you need to reread my post again."Support your position without inserting "age," "ages," "the age," "the next age" in any text that they do not occur in."

What's your point in the above?

You think universalists are wrong in their sights of some scriptures showing various ages, and these not eternal?

They're right in that observation. They're only wrong in applying it to the LoF

Many of the posts I have made were dismissed by someone saying e.g. "that only applies to this 'age' not the next."

Only when they try to refute something that counters UR by by inserting age/ages when it does not occur in the text.

Universalists have varied opinions just like all other sects

Never has been an issue for me and other universalists
