  • 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.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' " --Ps. 2[/FONT]

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. 4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. --Rev. 20

===========================================

To all the heathen (hearthen, people of the hearth, or earth; a.k.a. heathen) on this board who are constantly taking shots at the Christians, the Bible, and God Himself: did you read the above passages?

Do you understand what this means? If not, let me explain something to you.

I know that right now you think its funny to laugh at me and my brothers when we come against homosexuality, abortion, and all manner of filth that this country is mired in. I understand that you think its funny and all that... However, if you understand the passages above; then you will understand that one day there will be no more laughing. :thumbsup:

One day in the near future, the HEATHEN WILL BE FORCED TO OBEY!!! When Messiah begins His reign on this earth, there will be no more mocking/laughing at Him and His Word. There will be only FORCED OBEDIENCE to His authority. Justice will be swift and instantaneous. And this will be a glorious thing!!! :bow: :clap:

FORCED TO OBEY!!! :thumbsup:

I like the sound of that.

I think this says something about you, and the attributes that you find compelling about your religion, and frankly that frightens me.

The OP dreams of days to come: "One day in the near future, the HEATHEN WILL BE FORCED TO OBEY!!! When Messiah begins His reign on this earth, there will be no more mocking/laughing at Him and His Word."

Hmm. Well, people have been waiting for nearly 2000 years (so far) for this day to come. We just might have to wait another 2000 years before this day.

So, please don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] Nope

Yup

Ive seen a grand total of maybe three people agree with what you say.

However, if you understand the passages above; then you will understand that one day there will be no more laughing.
Yeah, eventually it turns into a rolling guffaw from the belly

One day in the near future, the HEATHEN WILL BE FORCED TO OBEY!!!
Ok, usually Im the top but I can play the bottom if you're into that :)

Again you have scripture wrong. The bible does not say that anyone will be forced to obey during Christ's earthly reign. It says he'll rule with an iron rod. We don't know what that means. So, for you to think it means people will be forced to obey is taking quite a bit of latitude with Gods word.

Also, if you think that certain sins condemn a man to hell, you may wish to read all the lists that say such as you also are included on one of those lists that those who commit such sins will not gain the kingdom of heaven. There are some 3 of those lists and every human being is on it, so I would jump off your horse and try to study more of the word to gain a better understanding.

If you think you are not part of the 'filth' in this world then you fail to see you are a sinner.

I hope someday you will learn of God and start preaching the truth rather than using a shield of defense to turn people away as you do, which is actually your hiding from people

Why do you hide? there's ususally very good reasons people hide, and only you and God know that answer.

I would have a sit down read of the NT if I were you, and if your church is turning out folks like you to write such to non christians I would run far and fast as you are being duped friend.

And if it's just you alone, your own self righteousness then you know this is a sin and that would be a problem.

But more n likely your being fed your disdain for those not like you to preach in this manner imo.

So, like I said, run far and fast and get to a place where people take the nt in context and have a sit down read, and sit at jesus' feet as like the sinners in the bible did, who did not yet believe in Christ, and what do you know He, God himself never treated people in the manner you do and when one considers themselves so righteous as to not see their own 'filth' as you described others having there's a huge problem.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? --Mt 23

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. --Acts 13

Tap, you may want to refrain from judging me so quick. Look carefully at the Scripture above. This is real and holy. JESUS CHRIST Himself is calling people vipers! Snakes! Deadly poisonous snakes! Wow. Don't you think this takes a second look. Paul the Apostle is calling a wicked man a CHILD OF THE DEVIL!!! Don't you think you should pay attention?

This is serious stuff. These words are very serious. Just like the 1000 year reign of Messiah will be.

This is all real and all very serious. I am taking nothing out of context. I know the Word of God, I did graduate from a legitimate Bible College. I have studied to show myself approved unto GOD! I don't care if you do not approve of me, sister.

Tap, sometimes the heathen need a good dose of cold hard truth. Not some watered down mamby pamby weak attempt at the Word of God. THEY NEED THE WORD OF GOD!!!

GOD said He will rule over them with a Rod of Iron! Dash them like pots of clay! Uhm.... He will not be some weak limp wristed fool, who can't or wont speak His mind, or wont use force. He will use FORCE! And guess what? The heathen will be FORCED TO OBEY!!! :thumbsup:

JESUS CHRIST does not and will not play with anyone when it comes to His authority. Bank on it!
