  • 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

    The Mark! Allegiance to the Imperial Cult

    Like I said "I know it is just FICTION". I just happen to see it as a possible explaination of how it COULD happen. This would explain both marks. Scott P

    Is the end closer than we think!

    From what I can tell the mark of the beast will not appear until the mid point in the tribulations. This is after the 7 seal and trumpet judgments, but before the vial judgments. This also means that if the rapture occurs at the begining or in the middle of the tribulation it will still be...

    The Mark! Allegiance to the Imperial Cult

    The mark of the beast everyone agrees will be required to buy and sell. Therefore it must be visable to all. If you want a good idea as to how the mark of the lamb could be read the "Left Behind" series of books. I know it is just fiction but the way the marks work is pretty much exactly how...

    Preterists and Futurists:

    When I joined this board I had never heard these two terms so I inquired about them. I did not mean to start what appears to be a "holy war" between these two groups of people. I see the arguements for both sides but I also see a LOT of unanswered questions on both sides. Can we at least just...

    The Mark! Allegiance to the Imperial Cult

    You doubt that it will happen in the near future? Have you heard of Direct Deposit? It is when your employer puts your paycheck directly in your bank account. You don't get currency unless you use your ATM card. Ever hear of credit cards, check cards or e-commerce? They use little peices...

    The Mark! Allegiance to the Imperial Cult

    So no answer to the when Cesar was killed by a wound to the head and yet did live question? Let me ask Preterists another question: When a chip does come out to be embedded under the skin of your hand to be used as a credit card and becomes the ONLY accepted means to pay for goods and...

    The Mark! Allegiance to the Imperial Cult

    If Ceaser was the beast, when was he "wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."? As far as who is making the godly chip, no one, this mark is supernatural and is NOT tied to bank accounts or anything else. Scott

    The Mark! Allegiance to the Imperial Cult

    GW, Several flaws in your theory: Not everything bought or sold had this contract so does not fulfill the prophesy. Once again even though the coin of the time had this. it was still possible to buy and sell without it. IE: trading goods for other goods. As in 5 chickens for 1 pig...

    Preterists - I hate to do this...but

    If the book of revelation has already happened, then WHAT was the mark of the beast and WHEN was it applied?

    Preterists - I hate to do this...but

    The chosen will dwell with God in the Kingdom of heaven. The sinners wil dwell without the kingdom(the rest of the world). As far as what the tree's true purpose is, we don't really know because it hasn't happened yet. No one has been able to explain when and what the mark of the beast was...

    Preterists - I hate to do this...but

    Pericles, I will address all that you have said: I agree that Christ died for our sins that we may be saved and enter into the kingdom of heaven when we die and leave this earth as long as you accept him as your savior and beleive that he is your savior. I also agree that I too would be...
