  • 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

Any thoughts on this?

I don't know much about the book of Nicodemus, but here is what one person had said concerning this book, and what Nicodemus supposedly said about the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11:

"Nicodemus wrote a book that the early church circulated. In it there is also the claim that the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah.

Nicodemus 20:2-4
"Two very ancient men met them and were asked by the saints, 'Who are ye, who have not been with us in sheol, and have not had your bodies placed in paradise ?' One of them, answering said,
'I am Enoch, who was translated by the word of God,
and this man is Elijah, the Tishbite,
who was translated in a fiery chariot.
Here we have been hitherto and have not tasted death, but are now about to return at the coming of the Antichrist, being armed with divine signs and miracles to engage with him in battle, and to be slain by him at Jerusalem and to be taken up alive again in the clouds after 3 1/2 days.'"

So, whether you accept the book of nicodemus is aside, it shows that the early church believed it this way... that the second witness was to be Enoch..."
