  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

simple question no debate else I will get the thread closed

Well, for me 'believe' is actually the strong word, indicating something like certainty. Instead I think it looks like some buds/leaves on the tree are beginning, which is strongly suggestive, but not high-certainty like 'believe'. Still, regardless, anyone should always do as they should since no one knows when their own last day is either. The reason to know when the last days are happening (when they begin), is that so once some of the more difficult challenges come, one can simply realize He foretold them, and know to not be afraid, but to simply find their refuge in Him.

He will come as a thief in the night, that would incline me to believe it will be in any moment, whether in my lifetime or not. The uncertainty of it makes me believe it could happen today. Our Lord said to be prepared and ready for it.

"For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain." - Isaiah 26:21

Hi dogs,

Well, I'm 63 and don't expect to get more than 10 more years out of this life and so I'm doubtful that Jesus will return as I live and breathe above the dirt in this life. My reasoning is that I believe that there are yet a few more prophetic signs to be fulfilled that don't seem to have started yet. The greatest being the great Tribulation. However, I do fully allow that it could all begin tomorrow, or within the next year, and Jesus could well return within the next 10 years.

God bless,
In Christ, ted

Absolutely not. Christ will return victorious with the whole world believing. the Great Commission will have been fulfilled.
