  • 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

    If the beast of the sea is the Roman empire (seen from a Judean perspective); and if the beast of the land is the Jerusalem Temple, run by Roman-allied Sadducees; and if the horns of the sea-beast are kings; then the two horns of land-beast are two high-priests, i.e. Ananias & Caiaphas (who...

    (oops) According to St. Paul (1 Cor 15:42), the Resurrection of Believers (Rev 20:4) occurs "after the last trumpet". So, all of the 7 trumpets; and, equivalently, all of the 7 seals & 7 bowls; must occur before the Resurrection of Christians into the Millennial Kingdom. Thus, the age of...
