  • 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.

    Yeah, that's the usual rational. But according to dispensationalists the Millennium starts immediately after Jesus' return to stop Armageddon and bring an end to the 7-year tribulation (none of which I personally believe) whereupon He sets up rule in Jerusalem and all the Christians who weren't...

    Yup. Why not. Where in the Bible does it say no? To the contrary, Isaiah 65: Now against all that people whose only interest is bursting other peoples' bubbles will likely say, "Nope. Jesus said no marriage in the resurrection." And in the face of all that they will firmly hold their ground...

    Ah, it's like a breath of fresh air to hear a reasonable POV. :thumbsup: My own personal belief is that God is going to allow us to populate all those quadrillions of galaxies out there. I can see no other reason for Him having created them except to inhabit them. I believe that children born...

    Yes, your attitude is one of the healthier ones I've seen. My point was that there is nothing in all of scripture outside of one badly misunderstood and badly misinterpreted sentence by Jesus that precludes those who want 'it' from having 'it'. But most people here on earth who don't have 'it'...

    I have spent thousands of hours studying universalism vs eternal torment vs annihilationism, but I've also spent hundreds studying the issue of romantic love in the afterlife and what I've discovered is that Acts 3:21 is far more important in determining yea or nay than Jesus' words to the...

    This conclusion would lend credence to the conclusion that while angels are capable of having sex they restrain themselves from doing so in order to keep themselves holy and blameless before God. I have read that there is reason to believe from ancient writings that once this age is finished...

    There's nothing in the scriptures that says angels are "genderless". But there is plenty of evidence to assume the ones recorded in the scriptures are male. The preponderance of evidence is on them having gender. There's NOTHING in the scriptures to indicate the sons of God were high...

    This "doesn't sound right" is purely your biased opinion, no offense. With regard to all this, the Bible is silent specifically except for the "they neither marry nor are given in marriage" and there are points to be made that Jesus was referring to the tradition prevalent in those days of...

    Sons of God had to be angels. If they were ordinary humans, regardless of their godly or ungodly behaviors, it would not have been necessary for God to dictate to Moses to write, "They went in to the "daughters of men". This wording clearly sets the sons of God apart from human beings. Otherwise...

    Our bodies will be flesh and bone but no blood, just like Jesus' body after His resurrection. That's why Paul says "We will be like Him."

    post rapture/ressurection/new bodies queastions

    Yes, I know. It's one of those issues not directly addressed so there's nothing to refute the idea of relations in the new earth just like there's nothing to support it, much like eternal torment and universalism.

    There's plenty of support. Angels do have gender, which is why Michael and Gabriel and Raphael had male gender. Furthermore, angels were perfectly capable of producing offspring as we see in Genesis 6:2 "the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for...

    I sincerely believe that God will allow us to have mates and live together as partners on the new earth as Adam and Eve did prior to the fall. Remember, Adam and Eve were not "married", as the institution of marriage was put in place by God strictly as a result of sin, to keep fallen man from...

    New Earth - Who Inhabits What?

    The general consensus is that when Jesus restores the new heavens and the new earth to pre-sin conditions Christians will live with Jesus inside New Jerusalem as per Revelation 21-22 But the whole earth will be restored to garden of eden conditions. Who will be inhabiting this new earth if we...
