  • 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.

    Let Jesus, be interested in You

    Hi there, So this is a fresh revelation, for me, that Jesus actually needs the opportunity to be interested in You - He made You, so for Him to have a relationship is something of first importance to Him, but more than that, it is a relationship that He desires to be invested in: Jesus actually...

    Can I be a teenager again in the New, Eternal Earth?

    Today I just turned 25 and even though I look 15-16 when I get a clean shave, I kind of miss being an actual teenager and I have regrets of what I did as a teenager (and it's not drugs or anything like that, which I NEVER did.) I know I will never be a teenager again, at least on this present...

    Amil, Premil explained with Diagrams

    There are a lot of topics discussing the 2 most popular systems of eschatology: Amillennialism and Premillennialism. I thought it might be useful to look at the subject with diagrams. Of course, each system has variations. My Premil diagram shows the posttrib variation. (The modern ‘pretrib...

    Left Behind

    Romans 1:28-32 ESV And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are...

    Dispensationalist Only OT and NT usage of "Last Days"

    I did a quick search of the New American Standard Bible for the phrase "last days", and now I am confused. In the OT it seems to be used at least mostly of the Millennial Kingdom (Isaiah 2:2; Jeremiah 49:39; Micah 4:1), but in the NT it seems to be used specifically of the Church Age (Acts...

    Foreshadows

    Concupiscence ("con"-from latin meaning "with" + cupisce from latin meaning "desire") Concupiscence is the tendency of humanity to misuse the natural survival needs of the physical body. Therefore, the natural need of the body for food becomes gluttony, the command to procreate becomes sexual...

    You have to watch that Rapture mindset

    What do YOU expect Jesus will do when He returns? Catch us all up and kill everyone else? That is the same mindset that the Jews had when He came first time. Well He will catch up the church. If you do not believe in the 1,000 years you must believe He will destroy everyone else. The purpose...

    Pre tribulation is awful grammar

    John Nelson Darby was a villain, no doubt about it. He is the father of Pretribulation doctrine. An Oxford educated theologian he knew very well that the word apostasies in 2.Thessalonians.2. meant falling away as in rebellion but he reinterpreted it to mean departure or removal as in from one...

    The Jews to be kept safe during the Great Tribulation

    Oh yes...God says so. There are more than one references to the coming time of trouble in scripture but only once does it go by the term "the time of Jacob's trouble" This is to be found in the 30th chapter of Jeremiah...what does God say about the "time of Jacob's trouble" the great...

    The meaning of Revelation

    I know contemporary Christians from Jehova's Witnesses to Evangelicals put a great emphasis on the apocalypse/rapture( millennialism). I was wondering what the traditional interpretation of Revelations and the rapture would be? Not just by Church fathers but by the general view of each of the...

    Observations About The Mark Of The Beast...

    Once, while considering Revelation 13, I noticed some details about the Mark of the Beast that I have never seen proposed anywhere else. I thought that I would post them here for, uh, posterity. :sorry: From Rev. 13 NKJV, "16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave...

    Revelations 6 Vs.1- it was by the Lamb’s authority that the seal was broken and the different horses come forward. Jesus himself is riding a white horse. This is also pictured in Revelations 19:11 where Jesus is pictured on a white horse when heaven opens and it says the one who sat on it...
