• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

God's Justice is carried out
This is quite an assumption. Best to keep our Father out of it as we do not know if this war is in " His will" or the will of man. What we do know of God's will is His desire for all to love Him and to love one another of which neither are being displayed in this war.
Be blessed.

Like I said "God's Justice" is playing out. It's always active and no one can do anything to not be a part of that. Satan is being defeated.

Satan was already defeated by Christ’s death and resurrection!

Be blessed!

What's the score? Is there a chance Satan might come from behind and ultimately win?

No. From the Christian perspective, never. He’s been defeated by Christ’s death and resurrection. He lost eternally.

Apparently the "humility" part has been ignored by recent replies for some reason completely disregarding the value of human lives addressed in the articles and my post. Don't really get why. Maybe this might help?:

"21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."
- Daniel 7 where Daniel discusses the beast system described in Revelation 14 which is collectively the False Messiah (the horn) as well as the judgement of the fornication of humanity (the harlot woman) supported by the 4th beast which is the 8th King described in Revelation 15. The saints take away the dominion of the 8th King and God (The Ancient of Days) destroys the False Messiah which happens after the Gog & Magog War. The current path were on to this is what's discussed in the post.

Trying to cram biblical scenarios into current events is a time-honored Christian pastime, I still enjoy seeing these.

It mostly comes from poor understanding of genre and poor hermeneutics.

The idea that the Kingdom grows by dropping bombs is contradicted by Jesus' own example.
