  • 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.

Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

I could be wrong here, but it seems to me, the more I think about it---the temple(sanctuary if you prefer) of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein---this equals the holy city meant in verse 2. And if that is the case, this couldn't possibly be meaning in a literal sense, such as a literal city, a literal temple. And if I am correct, the fact I already don't take the temple and city in the literal sense to begin with, this is further proof why I shouldn't.


Sometimes I think I have more Amil in me than most Amils do, yet I'm Premil. You would think Amils would be the ones who wouldn't be taking Revelation 11:1-2 in the literal sense, and not a Premil like me instead.
