• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Well Elijah was not take up by a chariot of fire.
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

[11] And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Can people just answer the question without coming off as "jerks".

If you had to choose one which one would you rather see back in the bible days?

Elijah being taken up by chariots of fire?

Or

Three men being thrown into the fiery furnace and coming out alive?
If I could choose, I would love to see the 3 men alive in the fiery furnace and then when they came out alive. I believe that There was a 4th man in the furnace with them, if my memory is correct.
Some believe that this 4th man was an Old Testament incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Yes that would be a sight to see, especially Christ in there with them is the best thing a Christian can see. Thanks for your reply.

Seeing either would be something! What I'd like to witness is Mathew 3:16-17.

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
