  • 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.

Two Suns Coming!

Very interesting article below. I checked the scripture in Malachi4:2 and the Hebrew word is in fact Shemesh which means Sun!

"Along with all the talk about hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, comets, and more horrifying stuff than you can think of, The “Mayan prophecies” seem to indicate there will be two suns in 2012. What does the Bible say about all this? Let us see:


I draw your attention to Malachi 4:1and 2.
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

1. Notice: The word Sun in Verse 2 is capitalized. Why is a word capitalized in the middle of a verse? It is a proper noun…a name. It is someone’s name. Whose name is it? Obviously it is another name for the Lord Jesus Christ.


2. Notice: Verse one tells us that there is coming a day when the sun is going to burn those on the earth…with intense heat…like an oven. It is going to be a time of the execution of the wrath of God Almighty.


3. Jesus is often called the Son Of God all throughout Scripture. He is called the Only Begotten Son of God, due to the fact that He is the only person ever born who was not conceived by man, but rather, conceived by God, Himself. He is called the Son of man. But here, in Malachi, He is not called the Son, but rather, The Sun. It is not a misprint. It is not an accident. God calls Jesus the Sun.


4. Over in the Book of Revelation, when John the revelator saw Jesus, he said that the countenance of Jesus was shining like the sun: Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. This is revealed once in the last Book of the Old Testament, and once in the last book of the New Testament… Obviously, Jesus Christ is coming as the Sun at the end of time.


5. When Jesus, The SUN comes to this earth next, he will be shining as bright as the Sun. His countenance will be glistering white. And He will come with healing in his wings. This, of course, speaks of his restoration of this earth after the Tribulation period that immediately precedes His return to the earth. During the seven year period of the Tribulation, such horrendous annihilation will take place, that only Jesus can fix it. And fix it up, He will!


Consider: Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Also: Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.


And think: Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.


Prepare to meet thy God! Amos 4:1


Don’t waste your time preparing for December 2012. Prepare for Revelation 20:12


Are you looking for the sun to frighten us, or are you looking for the Sun of Righteousness?"

You are trying to make a wordplay with "son" and "sun". Unfortunately that doesn't work in Hebrew. The Hebrew word for sun is "shamash" and the word for son is "ben". So, there is no connection between the words.

I'm also curious as to whether or not you really think Jesus is literally a sun. It also seems you have a problem with being able to detect figures of speech.

Evidently, you either aren't comprehending correctly, or you didn't read the post. I verified the hebrew, and what I put in that post is absolutely correct.

I'm not going to verify the video, that's questionable. But the written post is 100% accurate.

If you dispute that, you're disputing the facts because I've already researched the hebrew and checked it twice.

Sorry to disappoint you. Move along now.

What proof do you have that God revealed the time of the return of Jesus to the Mayan's?:thumbsup:

So you agree then that the hebrew words for 'son' and 'sun' don't have the same similarities that they do in English and so there is really no linguistic connection between them as you were suggesting? I am going to believe that you agree to that because you have 'verified the hebrew'.

....move along now.
