• 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.

The sheep and goat judgment time is when heaven and earth is about to pass away...

Mat 25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
Mat 25:32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

Revelation 11:18 is when only the just are raised and rewarded.

Joh 5:27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
Joh 5:28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
Joh 5:29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
Joh 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.



Rev 11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."

God is going to kill a lot of wicked people. He is sending people dying -on their way to hell then, not raising the dead of the wicked and checking for their names in the book of life.

The dead of the just are raised over a long time before the wicked are.

destroying those that destroy the earth - as in they will die yet the first death

Those in hell at that time are not destroying the earth. The vials will yet be poured out...the millennium will begin...more war...and then later the division of the sheep and the goats -wheat and tares.

You are attempting to put the Book of Revelation into chronological order. That is a mistake.

Because Christ returns in Revelation 16:15-16, and also in chapter 19, we know the book cannot be in chronological order.

What you are saying does not agree with "the time of the judgment of the dead" found in Revelation 11:18.


The Second Coming of Christ is found in Revelation 11:15-18.

The beginning of chapter 12 is a review of Church history, which includes the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ.
