  • 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

    Is there a Biblical mandate on what the role of government should be?

    Yes, there is. https://wordservice.org/Shorts/sms1012.html

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    How about adding this to your discussions? Moses as well as other prophets wrote- That what we call the first covenant given by Moses to Israel, was predestined to be replaced by God in favor of a second covenant that was to come. That the first covenant was but an instrument towards his...

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    I am kind of amazed that there is zero curiosity about the fact that from the first year of the times of the gentiles, when Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judea until Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD is 666 years. I mean that is what that part of Revelation is about. The times or age of the four...

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    2/2 These are by no means all of the prophecies in the Old Testament that use the exact same illustrations the New Testament does to prophesy about Old or New Testament events of the coming or day of the Lord. There are so many of these events that use these...

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    Those are my words. but for you. I'll copy and paste them. Doubt thy will fit though. The Bible has dozens of examples of the Lord physically and literally came down to earth on certain days to administer judgment, oversee calamity and fulfill promise and prophecy...

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    I already gave you an article with 3 chapters of from Isaiah that back that up. Start with it . If you need more I can show you more since there are a couple dozen chapters of it. Linked below. https://wordservice.org/Bible%20Prophecy/bp4000.htm

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    You seem to have misunderstood my reply. The phrase second advent or second coming of the Lord does not exist in the Bible. Therefore I believe the same exact things that have always happened when the Lord physically and literally comes down to earth will continue to happen. Judgement...

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    I do believe in the literal- physical; coming, past present and future of the Lord. I do not believe in the traditions of men about second advent heralding the end of the world as we know it. https://wordservice.org/Shorts/sms1004.html

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    The whole thing is a process that started way before Christ came. The only reason I mention the future is because that is where the process is leading us. However, I don’t hold to any traditions of a second advent and especially when it involves a physical kingdom on earth.

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    What’s the point though? Did you read the link? The new Jerusalem is Gods people in the here and now on earth. Suffering and then triumphant on earth.

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    Not really. Because the the New Jerusalem has always illustrated God's OT and NT saints. The Bride of Christ

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    I don't know how this may help what you guys are all arguing about concerning "the bride", that by the way all centers around pseudo eschatology about the end of the world. As usual, so few seem to be able comprehend that God, through normal gospel and providential means will save tens of...

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    When were you “with me.” You just disputed everything I said. None of which was futurism. It’s only complicated when people try to make the Bible’s prophecy about the end of the world.

    MARK OF THE BEAST - REVELATION 13-14; 17; 18

    "The Beast" was already interpreted for us in Daniel as being the 4 gentile empires. Babylon, Medo\Persia, Greece and Roman. This was a time period of the worldwide oppression of the saints. It started in 597BC when Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judea and ended in 1453AD when what had been the...

    Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?

    I think you need to ponder on just what it is your calling "the church." Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: It would seem that you are...

    Curious as to what precisely makes Full-Preterism considered an non orthodox heresy?

    Those verses are not talking preeminence. He as a human being is preeminent above all people. He is God's firstborn, the only begotten. He owns the earth and everything in it. It is not talking first as in the first one. fyi. I am not saying he is not God. He has always been Jehovah the word...

    Progressive government is the antithesis of a biblically based republic.

    No I’m not trying to regulate it. But it has tried to regulate us, the population and has used its influence to get the government to regulate us. I guess I’m just trying to get folks to view the first ammendment in its entirety for what it was rather than the modern view of it.

    Progressive Government is the Antithesis of Biblically Based Republics

    Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, (the messiah) whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit on him: he shall bring forth justice to the nations. 2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the...
