  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Is Hell fair?

    That is your personal opinion, so I leave you to your own personal hell

    Is Hell fair?

    It's a non issue - you propose that sinners live eternally separated from God. The bible says they suffer the second death. What you propose and contend attributes cruelty on God's part.

    Is Hell fair?

    "“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: ..." Isaiah 1:18a (ESV) God gave us the ability to reason and consider, and in these last days He has given us of His very character. You have intellectualized and rationalized God as a monster. Oz, do you need my other post spelled out...

    Is Hell fair?

    "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Rev 20:14 (KJV) The "hell" cast into the lake is the same word as the "hades" the rich man was in. That's Bible, too.

    Curious

    Hi, Biblewriter, Merry Christmas :-) As to your question - we both know the wicked go to church, too. "'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' "'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the...

    Question for partial Preterists

    I suppose if only partial preterists, by definition, answered your OP all the answers would be the same. That's likely one of the reasons I offered my thoughts - bit of diversity. :-) No apology needed - I see you were not being sarcastic.

    Question for partial Preterists

    Are you being sarcastic? I said I didn't know what I'd be classed as - but I do know what preterism is and I think any sort of "ism" or "ist" label is foolishness.

    Question for partial Preterists

    Hi, LittleLambofJesus, I really don't know what I'd be classed as, but figured I have an answer applicable to your question. As I see it, the following verses state what we can expect next, the previous already being fulfilled: Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days...

    of men and angels

    Thanks, dfw69. In both sections the angel is identified as one of the seven angels with one of the seven vials of wrath - that's what led me to wonder.

    of men and angels

    Rev 17:1 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters" Rev 19:10 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do...

    Falling away

    Thank you everyone for your feedback to my OP. I've come to the conclusion that I don't have enough information to support my speculation that the falling away may be related to the reformation, but I'm also not persuaded on a falling away yet-to-happen position either. This thread has taken...

    Falling away

    I'll really have to give this some thought. I had always considered those who receive the mark, name, or number were still able to repent and be cleansed of it. I think where I'm having difficulty is that I'm persuaded it's a past/current event rather than future. By that I mean the falling...
