  • 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

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    Hi SG, May I make a point here. In Rom. 11 we read of the Olive tree as you rightly said. However, what Israel and the Body of Christ are joined too is the `Root,` which is the Lord. `...if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild...

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    Ok eclipsenow, So if John`s friends in Asia Minor were being fed to the lions (I agree) then most of what is written in Rev. 2 & 3 does not apply to them. And then also it does not all apply to us unless you see the remnants of those church`s conditions around today. I see Rev. 4 as future and...

    And your scriptures to back that up?

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    The Body of Christ is never called the New Jerusalem and it is not our inheritance but for the OT saints. (Heb. 11: 16) Our inheritance in on the Lord`s own throne in the highest. (Rev. 3: 21)

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    The Lord sent His Holy Spirit to guide us into all the truth of the Lord`s character and His purposes. (John 16: 12) Character. Thus we read of the Lord in the midst of the churches as the Head of His Body, the one who is the First and Last, risen from the dead, He who is the word of God...

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    I see you don`t have scripture, however I posted some and that is what needs to be discussed. Have you ever considered that `Jerusalem` above is made up of two parts - Mount Zion and the city, the New Jerusalem. `But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly...

    However, Mount Zion has always represented rulership - David`s and the Lord`s.

    Hi Daniel, Have you ever considered that `Jerusalem` above is made up of two parts - Mount Zion and the city, the New Jerusalem. `But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,...` (Heb. 12: 22) Mount Zion is where the Lord Jesus rules from His own...

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    I thought it was `toughen up buttercup.` Anyway thanks for the encouragement! Now are you telling me that the 7 churches which were in Asia, were the ones going through all the difficulties as shown in Rev. 2 & 3 in John`s time?

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    Hi eclipsenow, John`s audience is all those who read, hear and keep the words of this prophecy. (Rev. 1: 3) `soon, speedily, take place. Fine. That is what we see. The Lord reveals Himself to John and the rest follows on. However, are you trying to tell me that everything in Revelation has...

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    The 4 Visions of the Lord in Revelation. The predominant aim of Revelation is the setting forth the splendours of the Son of Man, & to reveal His glorious person. There are four visions of the Son of Man as He is known in the heavenly realm & each vision in turn carries through to completion...

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    And why does it have to relate to those who first heard the prophecy? All prophecy is about the Lord Jesus Christ and His purposes. They are not always to be fully understood by those who first heard them.

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    The mark of the beast, the leader of the final gentile government, is an embedded chip where you have an app to give your allegiance to him.

    When Jesus Returns, Will We Know It's Him?

    You are referring to when Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives. (Zech. 14: 4) And the two men at the ascension said that Jesus would return that way. The disciples had just asked about Jesus` kingdom rule through Israel. That is what it refers to. As to the Body of Christ we are caught up to...

    Why Judgment Day?

    Actually, remember when King David`s son died. David said he cannot come to me but I can go to him. (2 Sam. 12: 23) This gives us the understanding that God has the unborn, the newly born and very young child when they all die in His care.
