• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

No, we believe the punishment is eternal- the wages of sin is death Rom6:23
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I believe conscious eternal torment is really an attack on the character of God.
I believe you are right. It is a doctrine of Satan against the character of God but I don't believe that everyone that teaches that is doing so to attack the character of God. There are many people who love God who believe in eternal punishing of the unsaved. They love God enough they are sometimes willing to die for him but still believe God torments the wicked. They claim that God became man to die a horrible death to pay for the penalty for those willing to accept it.
A body apart from the spirit is dead James 2:26 only Jesus can make someone immortal and He promises that at His Second Coming for those who are in Him.

1 Thess 4: 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

I didn't mean to imply that those who believe in it are intentionally attacking the character of God, but the doctrine itself is an attack on God's character, so appreciate the distinction you caught on to. Sadly, there are many who are misguided.

God bless and Happy Sabbath!
