  • 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.

    Muslim Eschatolgy

    It is interesting to note that the current ruler of Iran believes he has met "The" mahdi and he and his cabinet have signed an agreement with him and he expects the Mahdi to rise to power within the next two years.

    A seeker has a few questions

    Let me ask you a question. Say you sat in a court room and there stood a man that had murdered and tortured twenty people just for the pleasure of watching them die. Now the man is convicted of murder, however the judge says that he does not care he is letting him go free. Is he a just judge...

    Help

    Yes, just give your heart to the Lord. Do you know that you are a sinner in need of a Savior? If so then just tell him so. I too agonized over this before I gave my heart to the Lord, and I finally said "Okay Lord I guess I'll just have to rely on you to save me, because I know I can't save...

    Is The End Near?

    I agree there are many things that point to end times, just a note to think on is that in the days of Noah, Noah was ready and prepared, for he knew the end was near and he took God at his word. Although the end from start to finish was over a hundred years, he never lost faith. What about...

    Gems From Rapture Ready Site

    Correct, however this verse is also a rapture, for it says we will be caught up which can be translated as "raptured" I agree it is at the second coming not a pretrib rapture, but to say that it does not mean rapture at all is an incorrect assumption.

    Why do you think this?

    Some people like to use verses that refer to the church being spared the wrath of God as an excuse as to why the church is not here during the tribuation. And in part it is wishful thinking, because who would want to be tortured and die for your faith if you could avoid it. I think it is...

    My mother died, now I'm losing my faith! Help!

    I know it is devastating to lose someone you love, after you have prayed so hard for them to live. But remember that God has three possible answers to our prayer, yes, no and not yet. We will never know why God chose no for your mom until someday you get to heaven. Maybe God is using this...

    Iran - where is this going?

    This is an interesting note I found on a well known escatology scholars website that might put the going on in Iran in a new perspective: " According to the Shiite branch of the Islamic religion the 12th Imam disappeared as a child in A.D. 941. Most Shiites believe he has been supernaturally...

    Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Something else interesting to think about. In Egypt when God was pouring out his judgements on Egypt, were the Israelites taken out before the judgements or after? And were they affected by God's judgements while still in Egypt or were they spared? Because whose to say that God will not do the...

    Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Okay so those of you who are pre-trib can you explain a couple of verses to me. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 ..for that day will not come (the day of the Lord) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed.... Does this verse mean we will see the antichrist rise to power? Mark...
