  • 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

But each in his own order; Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and authority and power."

"The whole earth, from end to end, will remember and come back to the Lord. Yes, the entire human family will worship in His Presence, for the Eternal reigns, Lord of all nations."

Je ne peux pas dire comment qu'Il gagnera les nations,
Comment Il réclamera Son héritage terrestre,
Comment satisfaire les besoins et les aspiration
D'Est et l'Ouest, de pécheur et de sauge.
Mais ceci je sais, toute chair verra Sa gloire,
Et Il récoltera la moisson qu'Il a semée,
Et quelque jour content que Son soleil brillera dans la splendeur
Quand Il le Sauveur, le Sauveur du monde est su.

Je ne peux pas dire comment que toutes les terres adoreront,
Quand, à Ses enchères, chaque orage est stilled,
Ou qui peut dire comment grand la jubilation
Quand tous les coeurs d'hommes avec l'amour sont remplis.
Mais ceci je sais, les cieux passionneront avec le ravissement,
Et la myriade, la myriade voix humaines chantent,
Et la terre au Ciel, et le Ciel à la terre, répondra :
enfin le Sauveur, le Sauveur du monde est le Roi !

Please Remember...

All does not radically mean all.

Whole is not whole.

This is not an easy question that can be answered on a discussion forum.

All cannot always mean every single person in the universe whenever it is used. Sometimes, it means some of all classes of people. Sometimes it means all of a certain class. But it does not always mean the same thing.

I heard this argument one time:
"All" means "All" and that is all that "All" ever means!
Paraphrasing what the person meant to say:
"All" means everything and that is the only thing that "All" ever means.
He should have thought about his outburst as it proved him wrong, kind of like the politician who said "I never speak in absolute terms!"
In Webster's dictionary, there are multiple definitions given and the word "All" can be an adjective, adverb, pronoun, and a noun.
"All" can be attributed to all of a group or all of everything, depending on context

The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this name—in the heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm. And every tongue will proclaim in every language: “Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh,” bringing glory and honor to God, his Father! ~TPT

Has God made provision for ALL of creation?
If so, how to explain the lack for so many?

Yah has not simply made provision, He declares He will draw all mankind into Himself in the ages to come.

In this present age, has He made provision for ALL?
In this present aeon our ABBA has made provision for the good, bad & ugly. Most have zero grasp of our God. The malista of His love & grace are the forerunners of what shall be in the aeons to come.

And it is the provision for all that is supported
by the scriptures you have cited. They speak nothing
of the outcome described in the prophets, which
reflects the impact of man's free will.

Mankind is a wee will created by the Will of all wee wills. Mankind is subject to futility...

Matthew 3:5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,

Do you believe that every last person in Judea and the region about the Jordan went out to see Jesus?

"All" can also be limited to all within a specific group.

The important phrase is "in Christ" - all who are in Christ shall be made alive.
Not everyone is in Christ.
