  • 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

    Post-tribulation Rapture Believers Safe House

    I'm not sure where disagreement lies, if any. And I am not interested in defining words to accommodate a particular brand. But I'm considering the following. 1. Is resurrection a gathering/rapture? Note: Lazarus was not raptured after his resurrection. 2. Are the dead in Christ resurrected to...

    Certainly true. But Scripture does make a distinction between the livinging that are transformed and the brought back to life resurrected dead transformed; but all enjoy the same immortality. Of course, the issue is not a watershed for fellowship.

    When Will Christ Return?

    As I understand, the four horsemen of Revelation are unrestrained and have been unrestrained from the time Christ walked in Judea; and martyrs have been added to the altar in heaven. However, end-time restraint was introduced with the sixth seal and the context tells us why, to seal the saints...

    Post-tribulation Rapture Believers Safe House

    (2Tim 2:14) Attempting to shed some light on "resurrection" and "rapture." In our common understanding, they are not the same; the first refers to the dead, the second to the living, as Paul wrote, "... and the dead in Christ will rise again firstly, then we the living remaiining together...

    Concerning linen ... as representing luxury (though not intended here), moral purity, and obviously qualification for assignment. I doubt there are flax growers and linen weavers in heaven. However, many years ago Ezkiel cp. 9 impressed upon my heart -- and you could be missing the...

    When Will Christ Return?

    Bible 2 wrote "For wouldn't it make more sense for something unsealed to consist almost entirely of literal statements, rather than mysterious symbols?" ******* Certainly true; unsealed content is readily understood.

    Post-tribulation Rapture Believers Safe House

    I don’t care much for a fear-based religion. Rather, learn of God’s holiness in pursuit of lost sinners! “Loving kindness and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other” (Ps. 85:10). Therefore, the Shepherd goes to the wilderness to find...

    For those who believe 6th seal not opened yet

    Vinsight4u, I cannot answer your questions. and they may not be answerable. Ezek. 9 is an interesting example. I see basic ideas, which involve angels, or ideas that are titled as angels to represent unspecified powers. First, with the 6th seal, there are erruptions on earth and in the...

    Of course I see "four angel set is given way to harm?" given "things" and "hurths" as you put it. And I also see they are "held back" and commanded "not to harm" 7:1,3, until the bond servants are sealed. No puzzle here!? The four angels are released later, at the Euphrates. Thank you.
