  • 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.

Our Precious Lord and Savior in His Resurrected Heavenly Body ate, spoke, breathed and when He returns it will be on horseback. He also came into the room without using a door.

Do people breathe in heaven?
Good question. We only have Jesus when he arose from the dead in his healed old body. He had back his old lungs, but that doesn't tell us anything about our future bodies, which will be different. In his new immortal body, he must have put on something different because he is in heaven, where there is no air.

Furthermore, the New Jerusalem's highest floor is higher than satellites in space--again, no air. If people want to see the view from the top floor of New Jerusalem, they will have to have air tanks or a different set of lungs.

I'd like to think that our future immortal bodies will be similar to what we have now. But Paul called such speculation "foolish." And I don't want to be a "fool!" ;) But it's a good question!
