  • 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.

I thought that whether or not it was moral in general wasn't allowed?

From my experience you aren't supposed to discuss it explicitly, but it's perfectly okay to make homophobic comments like Dad just did (and that was awfully mild for him).

What's with the gay thing going on in that example dad?
It is supposed by some -- myself included -- that the Antichrist will be a homosexual.

Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

That does not sound like a homosexual, that sounds like a narcissist.

Ha :D

So tell me how Obama is gay? I'm only joining the dots. He is the anti-Christ... right?

Obviously a marriage of convenience...!

He uses the Secret Service to cover him while he cruises gay bars on Saturday nights......didn't you know...!?

Just everyone knows that he's too good looking to be straight...!

C'mon girl....open your eyes...!

Did they?

At any rate the article, about a different attack of Nebby's showed that they had "engines of war" too. "Engines of war" is a very general term.


Prophets could not always give the proper name for what they were shown because the technology was not something they knew in their day. Alexander the Great is considered historians to be the first one to use the catapult in battle. Ezekiel did not know what to call it.

Here is one prophecy that many believe was the prophet was doing his best to describe the effects of an atomic blast that he was shown in a vision. It speaks of the time of Armageddon. Therefore, it would have to be in modern times now that Israel is once more a nation after it 2000 year sabbatical. Yes... 2000 years it ceased being a nation. Then, 1948, it was back. Unprecedented in history for any nation.

Here is the prophecy... It speaks of the masses of the enemy who will be advancing in for the kill of Israel. It will not succeed.



Zechariah 14:12

This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against
Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet,
their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

So what? There were other "engines of war" besides catapults. Again did you not even check out that article about Nebby I linked where it told how he used "engines of war" and this was before his attack on Tyre. You have no evidence that Ezekiel was predicting a catapult.

And I see that you still have not substantiated your 200 pound half a mile claim.

And two more points. We already discussed how that prophesy does not apply to Alex. And even if I give you Alex he still failed to fulfill the prophesy. That is a lose lose situation for you.

That is wise. When you have lost the argument try to change the subject.

And on your attempt to change the subject. That does not sound at all like what a nuclear strike would do to people. But it sounds like what a person who did not understand a nuclear strike would do when trying to squeeze reality into a prophesy.


The results are almost always hilarious.

Right - I'm not sure why people read a sexual connotation into "no desire for women".


In its context. Speaking directly in reference to women.. Chemdah indicates sexual desire, or conjugal love. Daniel 11:37. That still does not mean he will be homosexual. Only be towards women as if he were one.

Would it not be hypocritical for same sex couples to try to influence what kids learn in schools, since they produce none?

And yet many Christians believe many of those signs have already occurred. The fakes often sell their <bleep!> by claiming when the really obvious signs happen it will be too late.
If you look at just the things I listed, like every mountain flattened every city leveled in a quake, sun and stars going out...etc what we would have to have with a christian thinking Jesus was here would be unbelief and complete ignorance of His word.
What baseless doubts?
Any.

The bible is clear on what a marriage should be, and what is acceptable. What, thought someone could renegotiate the basic rules for mankind God set out?

And yet we know that is not going to happen.

It is just the wishful thinking of a few very troubled individuals.
