• 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.

Humans did NOT evolve from Apes...

It was never adams firmament or adams earth

It was always GOD's

And it didn't matter where GOD placed the man

Whether on top of a mountain or at the bottom of Lake Van turkey

It wasn't where the man physically was that dictated his innocence or goodness

Adam wasn't born again and never had that opportunity

He is included in the generation prior to CHRIST physically entering through the firmament and coming into the world born in the natural pattern of a man so as to redeem all flesh who would believe in HIM as the LAST ADAM and the VERY WAY (hidden until the fullness of time) back into the GARDEN and PRESENCE of THE FATHER

The firmament was a dividing line. A "membrane" which separates one area of water from another area of water

The firmament was not an expanse which supported an life in it. It was just a dividing line

The water above that firmament was called the heavens

The firmament itself was not called an additional Heaven

Try taking a large container of water containing living organisms and sea creatures of various kinds


Now take a water resistant board that can span the length of the area of the container so that if you take the board and lay it horizontally so that the water in the container is displaced so that there is water above the board and living organisms also contained in that water and water below that board and living organisms also contained in that water

That board is a firmament
Nothing is living in the firmament
Rather the living organism is sbove and below that firmament

That is a simple explanation of a firmament drawn between waters

The firmament which GOD created to separate the waters was so that below the dome of that firmament GOD created a world where all living organisms could survive:the water creatures, the creatures of the air, and the beasts which live upon the dry land and mankind which lives upon the dry land

The water below that firmament, GOD gathered in areas so that dry land could appear

There is no and was no living environment existing in the firmament

Erroneously warned of the wrath to come?

Is this your thinking
Or are you referring to the "scoffers"

No wrath came, just a Loving Son of God who's gospel the Jews rejected. He went back home.
The scoffers question and deny CHRIST's second coming (as the LION of the tribe of judah)

Do you also reject that HE will come again and this time not as the LAMB?

You said John erroneously warned of the wrath to come

Is it johns error?

Or your own?

In the above highlighted paragraph, both of these thoughts are your own opinions

The first thought regarding John "erroneously" warning about the wrath to come stems from your lack of understanding

The second thought regarding scoffers scoffing about :your input- " faith in god's evolutionary technique of creation" is based on your distorting what is truly written of as the true reason for why these scoffers scoff
Remember?
As it is written:
(Where is this coming?)

These scoffers are rejecting CHRIST's second coming

Which appears to be what you also reject

Because if you didn't you would have understood what john was warning people about

John thought Jesus would bring wrath, he was wrong.

Bible worshipers are too proud to admit errors in the Bible so the "spin" excuses endlessly.

John knew who had sent him to baptize and the REASON why he was sent to baptize


He understood that this was the LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD

Thst was not a ministry of wrath...yet

John knew that a separation was already occurring because THE BRIDEGROOM had come and he know that HIS winnowing fork is in HIS HAND

But John also knew that the chaff would not be burned up in the fire until the end of this present and still ongoing ministry of reconciliation

Bible worshippers?

Do you think those to whom THE SPIRIT has come, need to carry around their bibles?

GOD did what HE said HE would do

HE moved HIS infallible word inwardly upon our hearts and in our minds

HIS WORD is not in contradiction to HIS VOICE/SPIRIT

And never will be
And neither are in error

I don't
I believe that preaching the ETERNAL GOSPEL to all that is perishable is sufficient

I believe that once 2 Thessalonians 2 happens all that is perishable will be shaken

And all those long held "theories of truth" which those outside THE ETERNAL TRUTH have clung to, will no longer hold

No. In fact the opposite will occur

The things that long held by GODS everyday grace upon all men (believer and unbeliever alike) will no longer hold
"When HE who holds all things back is taken out of the way"

If Adam already had the "intelligence of GOD", there would have been no reason for GOD to withhold from Adam the tree of knowledge of good and evil

It was after Adam disobeyed GOD and are from that tree which was forbidden him to eat, that GOD said behold the man has become like us knowing good from evil and now lest he reach out and take from the tree of life and live forever that was when THE WAY back to that perfect home was blocked and Adam was driven out

Adam did not have the "intelligence of GOD"
Prior to his disobedience he was innocent as a child knowing nothing but good

Once his eyes were opened and his conscience was made aware of guilt...(something he knew nothing of before in his pure and innocent state prior to his fall) he was changed and so with that change became aware of his flesh and the relationship between him
and GOD changed

And he hid himself and his flesh from GOD

It was believed that the Messiah would usher in a new age,fight off Israel's enemies establish a material kingdom and sit on David's throne. They were confused miss led by claims in the Bible. Jesus wasn't the Jewish Messiah is they conceived of him to be ,he left and went back home. He didn't destroy anything is John thought he would because John was wrong John was just human he had his own beliefs.
