  • 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.

In principle, the One worthy to open the scroll, is the Holy Spirit's Son

Hi there,

So this interpretation applies to Revelation 5:2 - where an angel asks "who is worthy to open the scroll?".

In principle, this is the Holy Spirit's Son.

Jesus says "I will send the Holy Spirit" that is true, but Jesus also believes in the "extra mile" - so nothing He says He will do, is in isolation (the Holy Spirit will come to understand this, once He reaches Earth).

This accords with the claim that the Holy Spirit will take what is of Jesus and declare it to you - the Holy Spirit siring a son who opens the scroll is a declaration, that He has shared even what Jesus has made secret.

There is a time related condition (prophetically, I mean: the statement can be interpreted as for time, time and a half, and times - and I have specifically tried to interpret it as pertains to time and can date, but will not), but I think it is better if you just try to digest this portion - than start making claims that do not prepare for the end, as such (besides which I would have a dickens of a time, trying to back it up with scripture, not necessarily that I can't, I'm just saying you would likely miss the point).
