  • 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.

    Which Kingdom???

    Are the Kingdom of heaven (KOH) and kingdom of God (KOG) the same thing? I thought they were different, but now i read..... Matthew 19 19:23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 19:24 Again I tell you, it...

    What is the sword?

    I realize that john wrote revelations, but it is paul who claims that the sword is the word of God.... therefore, if you see a sword comming out of gods mouth.... it is safe to assume that it is not litteral. The easiest way to see if something is figurative or not, is too look at the context...

    dispensationalism?

    Wouldnt there have to be at least 7 gospels? If there are 7 dispensations? I would think that after the judgments there would be "good news" except the last perhaps..... Also, if they were angels that left their first estate.... wouldnt that make them demons?

    Communities not saved under "the current program"

    I am pretty sure that all people from nineveh to rome, and 4000 bc to the millenium were and will be saved by grace through faith.... not of your own works. I am pretty sure the bible talks of the kingdom of God AND the kingdom of heaven.... the kingdom of God existed before christ, AND...

    What is the sword?

    Again, the sword isnt litteral, because paul said it isnt. as you also said. The word smites the nations the same way a word from god made man and all of creation. It is not the gospel in particualar, because the word is all of the words.... including that wich was brought to us by isaiah...

    Errors of Dispensationalism

    Hmm.... I cant answer all of this, but i am pretty sure that jesus "puts down all authority and rule" 7 years after the rapture, at the battle of armagiddo. This will be followed by the 1000 year reign. So really, jesus takes up his rule durring the battle... the outcome of wich, leads to the...

    What is the sword?

    I have to agree with you... it is the sword of the spirit, wich is the word of God. I personally dont believe that any phisical battles are inside Gods Will for us in the dispensation of Grace. I would think that most dispys believe that revelations is a book filled with types.... but...

    Errors of Dispensationalism

    Errors of Dispensationalism

    He is reffering to the last chapter in revelations that speaks of a 1st resurection for the saints and a 2nd ressurection unto eternal damnation..... i think. What its saying is that both the good and the bad are resurected..... with a 1000 year time space in the middle.

    Errors of Dispensationalism

    if you died yesterday.... you would go to the same place you would go if you were raptured.... dont you think? In other words... we must be with christ, BEFORE we are given new bodies. We are not given new bodies... until all the saints are in heaven.... but the pre trib saints will be with...
