• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

God hasn't made his view clear and decisive.
Actually; He has, but the understanding of it all is hidden to most. Daniel 12:10b
I don't think these passages should be understood in a literal manner.
The Holy Land is not large enough for billions of the righteous to physically live comfortably there
Never spiritualize anything that can literally be fulfilled.
The entire Holy Land is a huge area, - from the Nile to the Euphrates.

God hasn't made his view clear and decisive.
The point is that we must be ready to come face to face with God at all times.
True.

We must go misinterpreting Scripture.

As Matthew 24:30-31 tells us; we will be gathered from everywhere, to where He will be. Firstly in the earths atmosphere, then to Jerusalem. Most of the Church will be brought back from the place of safety, where they will have been for the last 1260 days. Revelation 12:14
Will the saints be glorified, rule and reign with Christ as kings and priests ? What kind of body will the saints have in the resurrection ? After being glorified will the saints still be able to sin ? Will the total number of these saints be millions, thousands or billions or just a few. I have wondered about these things.

NO human has been 'glorified' yet. That is: made into a Spiritual, Eternal being.
This does not and cannot happen before the Great White Throne Judgment; Rev 20:11-15

Pauls Prophecy in 1 Corinthians 15:50-56, refers to those whose names will be found in the Book of Life. Only after the Millennium, will Death be no more; Rev 21:4
