  • 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

I wish you would have made this a poll so I could have voted no.

Just the big boys playing with their toys.

Taking a stand for children and innocent people that have been gassed is a good worthy thing to do.

If it is the beginning of the end pray that we're headed in the right direction.

For many are going down to the hot place.

I hate that!

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

True, yet the text indicates that when these things are happening the end is not yet. Should we take that to mean that the end won't be because of any wars then?

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.


This thing of late, the likely striking of Syria by the US, and then Russia striking the US in return, wouldn't that fall under rumours of wars at this point? And doesn't Jesus say be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet?

1) Were there wars and rumours of wars before whoever wrote Matthew penned this? YES
2) Were there nations rising against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms before Matthew was written? YES
3) Were there famines, pestilences and earthquakes in divers places? YES

If they are the "beginning of sorrows" then the sorrows actually began way before Christ said this according to the author of Matthew. I guess you and I are kind of saying the same thing though. The recent rumors and wars are not Armageddon.

Some people want to feel special and think that they - and not everyone who's come before - are the ones who get to live in special times.
