  • 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.

Are there still Apostles today?

Looking at the Apostles in the bible. 1) They were able to heal, almost at will. 2) What they said and wrote was considered to be the very inspired word of God. 3) They were witnesses of the risen Christ.

There are many healing evangelists these days, many struggle to document a miraculous healing when pressed. So no 1, healing at will, fail. I would say failed. Number 2, nothing inspired has been added to the bible in 1,900 years. The Canon of Scripture is closed. An Apostle would be able to add to it. so number 2, fail. As for number 3, I don't know. About 1,000 persons have sold various accounts of going up to heaven and meeting Jesus, these accounts often seem to disagree on key details.

God Bless All :)
