• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

You are mistaken here as well as in your posts above. No further comment necessary.

If you want to learn more about why you are mistaken, try a book, such as Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy.

No I'm not and I have far more experience and books to back me up than you or Samuel Meier do

ISTM that, if I were a prophet, I would "just know". I think that some kinds of certainty cannot be communicated to another human being. A husband cannot communicate his love for his wife to another human being, his wife excepted (perhaps). The effects of what cannot be fully communicated, however, can be communicated - though whether they are recognised for what they are, is another matter.

I think there is a sort of analogy between prophets and their followers, &, authors and their fandoms.
