  • 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.

The bible teaches me that Christ was slain from the foundation and the death of Christ on the cross was simply a manifestation, more like a earthly portrait of what Christ experience before the foundation of the world, so we can get a grasp of it with the peanut minds we have.

That's how Abel and the rest of the elect before Christ death on the cross, were allowed to immediately to depart from the body and immediately be in the prescence of the Lord with the soul, some with their full spirtual glorified bodies( Enoch, Elijah, Moses)..without the preparation..the saints would have to wait and there would be no covering until Christ died on the cross.

I don't think it was a "manifestation" but His literal body that was ONCE crucified.

Makes sense.

ProScribe,

You're right it wasn't a manifestation but it was manifested (to reveal) in the time era. The cross was not the actual payment but rather a demonstration of what was done before the world. And to correct on what I said on the second paragraph, I meant to say from Abel until Christ demonstration on the cross, were allow to go to heaven based upon the payment that was paid before the world. I hope that clarifies it.
