  • 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.

    Problem with prayer life...

    Thank you. Interesting you had my favourite verse from Jeremiah...

    Problem with prayer life...

    Hi, I've had a problem with prayer since my early teen years. At that time I had a traumatic experience that left me suffering from panic attacks until this day (not continuous - 14 or 15, then break, then from 23 until now at mid forties). I don't want to get into it here. It wasn't anything...

    Thinking of suicide: I need urgent prayer today...

    Well, that has to be the most heartless post I've seen on this thread. Get plastic surgery! Life must be nice in that ivory tower...

    Millenial reign question...

    Tov meod. I see what you mean now. I thought it was some weird theological term or something. Now ani mevin. I understand what you're saying about issues with Judaism as a race as well as a faith; but as I understand it, Jews are the only race/religion in one. Yes, I understand what Paul said...

    Millenial reign question...

    Jesus already brought salvation when He came and died for humanity. If you are talking about a pre-trib rapture, that is a separate debate and there are lots of threads about it.

    Millenial reign question...

    But surely the only people left would be those with the Beast's mark. And they have no chance of salvation. If they're fighting, they're fighting against Christ. There won't be any "undecided's" left, will there? Surely not. Can you imagine the lunacy, arrogance and absolute rebelliousness of...

    Millenial reign question...

    Any chance of backing that up with scripture or this an opinion? And are you talking about those born during the millennium? by the way, this was just a passing inquiry - a small intellectual musing. It really doesn't matter that much. I believe whatever God ordains is good for those who...

    Millenial reign question...

    You need to say who you are addressing, if it is a particular poster. I persoanlly believe Armageddon happens when Jesus returns. So, the martyrs must be martyred before as there will be no more martyrdom because Jesus then battles Antichrist and his armies and Antichrist and the false...

    Millenial reign question...

    I have no idea what you're talking about America being part of the lost tribes through Britain. This almost sounds Mormon. But I think I see where you're going and it's about the two tribes missing from the list about the 144,000. But all the tribes are Jews, not gentiles. We came from Judaism...

    Who are you asking that of?

    Millenial reign question...

    This is not the millennial kingdom. I mean really, how could it be? That time has Jesus ruling the Earth and peace. Where is the peace? The world is getting more and more corrupt and depraved. It's still Satan's world until Jesus returns to settle it. He hasn't come yet and that's obvious.

    Millenial reign question...

    Sounds like JW speak to me. The twelve tribes are all Jews and that's an end to this replacement theology nonsense. You are not part of any tribe unless you are a Jew. Read Romans 9-11 if you think God tore up his covenant with the Jewish people and made it with Christians instead. God delights...

    Millenial reign question...

    I personally take the view that if something is symbolic the bible makes it plain. For example in Rev 1, Jesus' eyes are as flames... This is obviously a simile. Yes, there are certain symbols throughout the bible and all those in Rev can be found elsewhere in the bible and explained. After all...

    Millenial reign question...

    Sorry, I believe a thousand years means a thousand years. The book of Revelation isn't a puzzle for theologians to solve. Why not just say the Second Coming instead of parousia. Revelation was written for ordinary people to be able to understand what is to come, to recognise it and be encouraged...

    Millenial reign question...

    A new heaven and earth will be created. Therefore Mars goes too. If the bible meant Mars it would have said it. The earth probably had no oceans before the flood - they were caused by God letting the waters inside the earth be released, It says so in Genesis. The new earth will be a complete...
