  • 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.

Have you looked into alien abduction syndrome any? An almost universal feature of the syndrome is the belief that ones eggs or sperm has been harvested and a hybrid child is born from it. Less common, but still prevalent is an experience of someones soul being inserted in another body and soul manipulation. One of the most interesting things are the implants. Little pieces of metal or glass that somehow get imbedded into the persons flesh without any entry marks. The reason why it's interesting is that during some of the more difficult excorcisms, when the demon is expelled they vomit up random things like red string or a bit of glass.

If you view the modern era in view of the demonic trade in Enoch it becomes almost certain we are in that age. In 50 years we went from a few cars and many still on horses to walking on the moon. Compare that to how long it took to go from the bronze age to the Iron age. We live in a historical anomoly far greater then the megalithic structures left behind by a long forgotten era.

The mark of the beast or number or name of the beast has only a 42 month span when it is enforced or death. This comes at a time when one beast survives a mortal wound and he is given dominion over every tribe tongue and nation. The 2nd beast causes all to have one of the 3 options or they can be beheaded. This is also at a time when the two witnesses have been performing their protests as well. This is literal and future and coming soon.

But, since at least 1999 and again in 2008 conspiracy theorists people have been saying this would happen... no one listened to them? That's weird...

You're assuming its symbolic. The entirety of the book of Revelation isn't symbolic...unless you believe the second coming is symbolic....

As I said, I have believed it and preached it since about 99. Those who didn't think I was making a joke thought I was a kook who watched too much terminator.

This has already happened time and again in history. Consider the domination over the world by the Papacy or Nero.

Ho hum...

Honestly, it is too late. Many of the people who knew and declared what was going on are "gone," gone, or not around. What people are experiencing now isn't new - which should be sad.

The ignorance has gone so far that people don't realize they are in that future already. And, many begged for it.

There is a ton of stuff going on right now and a lot of it is backed by very deep pockets. It’s pretty hard to predict which of these things will succeed and how they will impact us in the future.



Stopping aging
AI supercomputers
Nanobots
Cyborgs
Robots
Uploading consciousness to computers
The side effects of GMOs
Gene splicing to evolve humans to post-humans (basically chimera)
Research on the subatomic level
Quantum, biological, and chemical computers

Incredibly exciting and terrifying things at the same time.

If you look up singularity, post-human, and futurist, you will find many things.

Though, it seems like people are distancing themselves from the term futurist because it’s almost a religion.

First we had credit cards now then now we have credit chips and just recently we got to use wireless pay with your phones. Today's phones are pocket computers that can open with a fingerprint, face id or retinal eye scan. A mark doesn't even need to be visible they could use infrared paints that can track even better on cameras. For instance I think in the future we will have wearable augmented reality glasses that use bone conduction earphones meaning you can both hear music in your head and talk to people with cameras that track you visual field to give feedback on stuff like prices and direction. There are already some state of the art stores that use pay and go features meaning you dont need to check out they already have all the goods chipped or tracked and you just enter and leave with your phone at the door. Makes things so much easier and at the same time Technology like b-chain although still quite slow for merchant transactions today is fully transparent meaning and if they decide to implement this into our currency then physical money and anonymity will be gone as we know it.

Stopping aging

Be my guest. Get a pill, injection or radiological boost that will make you be one of those people suffering the vials (tongue boiling out, asking for death but death flees them)? It won't just be agelessness; it will be biochemical replication and repair on the micro, nano and femto level.

AI supercomputers
Nanobots
Cyborgs
Robots

Post-modern war machines marketed to the world as something useful for the future.

Uploading consciousness to computers

A lie. Your "consciousness" cannot be uploaded to a computer - at least not the essence that makes you you. A replication based on statistical data can be produced with great precision and reasonable accuracy, but it is essentially an interloper of the real person.


The side effects of GMOs

We know how GMOs affect us - suspicions were (always) right. The first of the big 4 GMOs were approved for public consumption in the 80s. It takes about 20 - 40 years before changes in a human population begin to show up.


What alimentary sensitivity is happening now that has been very prevalent in this day - that wasn't in the 1990s?

Gene splicing to evolve humans to post-humans (basically chimera)

Ultimate goal of chimera is weaponization for post-modern warfare. This has been predicted since at least the 18th century, and has always been in "history."

Research on the subatomic level
Quantum, biological, and chemical computers

Quantum mechanics and field theory are mapping out spacial dimensionality and the energy that sustains them. That will open up aliens interdimensional interaction.

AI machines will be the vessels for these interdimensional entities to physically interact on our plane of existence.


The distance is an exercise in futility; the future has already been set. It is just a matter of how we will respond to it. All of these things are repeat history of the antediluvian world; this is not the first time the world has become a technopolis, and has striven to know everything under the unification of "oneness."

I belive this. And looking around the world, I see it as revised Muslim Caliphate that will just like ISIS. I mean, they are the ones cutting off heads right now.

But I also see the Beast using tech to control who will be able to buy anything. Heck, we are already cashless pretty well. Whoever controls the banking industry could already make it to where all your "money" is gone right now. I look for all cash to be done away with as us older people die off anyway, cuzz only we use cash anymore, young people don't.

Some young people use cash specifically for the reasons you listed - as a protest even. But you are right, most people in general use a virtual system, and often look wierdly at people who use coins and cotton.

Steven, are you acquainted with the works of Jacques Ellul? If not, I suggest you look them (and him) up. One good place to start is his book The presence of the Kingdom. He doesn't go into the details that you seem to be interested in, in this book, but you will get a sense of why and how things have got the way they are, and the Church's part in this process. Others of his writings will take you into deeper issues relating to the dehumanisation of "humankind" - which of course is the goal of the Evil One. It is here that you will find the whole process of the attempted transformation of human kind from people to units of production (and consumption), then to be replaced through mechanisation and automation, and ultimately to be subjected to mechanical and electronic/digital "intelligence."
You might also appreciate William Stringfellow - An Ethic for Christians and other Aliens in a strange land. Stringfellow's starting point is the Book of Revelation in terms of attempting "to understand America Biblically." He is very clear on the current subservience what he calls the "morality of death." This is, or should be, a deeply disturbing book for Americans to read - written in the days of Nixon, it is astounding how current it is today, 40 years later.

I guy started a religion where A.I will be the God. It reminds me of a passage that says in those days men will worship new gods that their fathers never did

I only read about it in Catholic exorcisms. The first I heard about it, if i'm recalling correctly, was in one of Gabriel Amorths books. I have heard of vomit in deliverance (protestant), upon the demon leaving, but I have not heard of any objects in protestant exorcisms either. But at the time I was researching there weren't many reliable protestant books on the subject.

In the last few months, an A.I driven drone almost crashed head on with a plane, An A.I robot in Russia escaped the lab and blocked traffic during his meanderings. This wouldn't be much but it is the only hive mind A.I. that tried to escape and when it was shut down and reprogrammed it continued to search for a way out 3 other times, and it was reprogrammed each time. Now they are leaving it online to study why it is acting this way. And finally facebook had to shut down 2 of it's A.I.'s because they started to talk to each other in a language they made up. I freaked the techs out so much because they had no idea what they were talking about
