  • 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.

If you're serious and that is how you read the bible Lillen... Well, then you either need help or you need to re-think just about everything. Or so it seems anyway.

To illustrate:

The parables in the bible concerning sheep, vineyards and so on are parables. Not exact descriptions of actual events.

Also... The ones who have the mark of the beast are damned, not saved. So... You've really misunderstood some pretty central things Lillen.

Then we ask for a reconcilation!

Sorry, I was way too harsh. I apologize. Thing is: When the bible speaks of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep to look for the one that isn't actually a story about an actual shepherd who went out looking for a real lost sow. It is a story about how important any given soul is to Christ. It is what we call a 'parable'. Jesus told a story which people could understand to show them deeper truths which they could not understand.

And when it talks of sheep in wolves' clothing it is again just an example to describe people who appear good and holy but really are not. People who look good but are bad and will trick you into bad things. Trick you into leaving God.

We agree, the people with the mark of the beast, is damned, for a thousand years! But if you read revelation 20 you see that they are part of the first ressurrection, and are blessed and holy, over such the second death has no power over!

The question is, do you want to be blessed or do you want to reign with Christ for a thousand years!

Nonononono.
The beast Lillen is EVIL. It is a servant of the devil. Whoever has the mark of the beast will be able to buy and sell, yet those who do not cannot trade. And will starve. BUT: THose who have the mark of the beast will forever be damned:

9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the (D)wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11

I look in the bibles were it says the great morningstar in the end of the book of revelation. The NKJV or KJV! From the early greek manuscripts if i am not mistaken. I am quite confused about this morningstar thing, and need confirmation form two or three independant sources! - there are the bright and morningstar from some bibles, the shining morningstar from others and the great morningstar from some. I think this is deduced to Latin, Greek and Hebrew sources. I always change my mind here because i come to closer understanding of it, i have said other things in the past about this and changed my mind later. "Everthing shall be established by two or three witnessess" as it is written - so i need to hear the truth from two or three independant sources!! Then who is lucifer from Isaiah 12 or 14 (i think it is 12), in NKJV it says that lucifer is the "son of the morning", and for now that is the closest understanding i have, he is not a morningstar!

In the bibles were it says that Jesus is the Great Morningstar in the last chapters of revelation it could be interpreted that those with the mark of the beast are part of the first ressurection and are blessed and holy if they choose to become lay down their life for Christ!

And also for breivik! In the war against drugs it was the drugaddicts who fell by the sword and was outlaws. In the war against drugs they were called pedophiles that has the Latin meaning of Fart Freind according to some dictinaries. In the war against terror it is so called terrorists that become martyrs. Terrorst has the latin meaning of "someone who becomes angry in political debates". I chose those definitions.

No it does not mean "someone who becomes angry in political debates". The origin is Latin, and it's original meaning is "I frighten" or someone who frightens others. Your "definition" appears made up on the spot. Much like your biblical "interpretations"

Pedophile is a compound word. Pedos - children. And phile, lover of. SO directly translated it's lover of children, where lover has sexual connotations. And drug addicts have never - to my knowledge - been called pedophiles.

I am thinking - and hoping - you're just making junk up. This is way way out of proportions.
