• 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.

  • 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.

This is correct. Except the rapture is just a gathering to where Jesus is on earth and Satan is not destroyed then, only chained up.
As your Thess quote says:...the lawless one will be revealed.... before Jesus coming.
There is, therefore, much to happen before the Return of Jesus. Satan will be revealed and the Lord's holy ones will be in his power for 3.5 years. Daniel 9:25 But some will be kept safe during this time; Revelation 12:6


Agreed.

The "man" of sin will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming, however the spirit being known as Satan will continue and be bound up for a thousand years.
