  • 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

    What happens when Satan is released for a little season?

    Hello Mark First I should like to point out that "the things which shall be hereafter" are things which should "soon take place" (Rev. 1:1) beginning in the first century not postponed until the end of the age... otherwise it would not have had any validity to the first century Church to whom...

    What happens when Satan is released for a little season?

    Hello Lisa The simple answer is we don't "have to go through it all again". From a pre-millennial perspective that is a question that brings up other difficulties, such as: if Christ comes to inaugurate the millennium and assuming that Matt 25:31-46 is descriptive of his coming who will be...

    John saw the souls ](not the bodies) of those that had been beheaded because of their testimony... A future reality... I don't think so, the beast is a present reality... The Beast imagery in Revelation shifts between the generic and the specific. This is important to grasp: sometimes the...

    I agree the first resurrection can only be experenced by the righteous... beyond that I disagree with you... show me the verses that state "the end of the first seven years of the Day of the LORD."
