  • 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.

Should Revelations be studied?

Revelation should be eaten like bread, by a starving soul.
AMEN!

John 6:51 "I am the Bread/artoV <740>, the living-one, the out of the heaven descending.
If-ever any-one may be eating out of this, the bread, he shall be living into the age and the bread yet which I shall be giving the flesh of Me is for sake of the world, Life".

Reve 1: 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud Voice, as of a trumpet.......
12 And I turned/epestreya <1994> (5656) to be seeing the Voice which-any spoke with me, and turning/epistreyaV <1994> (5660) I saw seven lampstands, golden

Luke 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Wouldn't we all. But why? Would it keep the return of Jesus being put off. I am ready to say Come even now Jesus.

Yes and cannot be understood just by having a good bible dictionary and context, context, context.

Not unless you want to see the letter, and the letter kills!
The letters should never be read without the Holy Spirit present to teach.. God's Word need to testify to the truth contained therein so that our understanding of the letter is not carnally interpretated.

How do Christians get the Holy Spirit to "show up" while they are reading them?


Well I just told you that!

You have a good bible dictionary, a good cometary is good to so you can have a man's opinion and just read the scriptures in context.

I mean, how far wrong can you go?

The flesh is the veil that will stop you from seeing what scriptures are saying.

The letter kills!


Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.



1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


It takes a miracle for men to see what is actually written in the scriptures.

It takes Christ to perform His healing on blind eyes.

Eyes of flesh are blind.
