  • 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.

When will the Lord appear, and for what reason?

Throughout the Bible, it is stated that the Lord will appear to us, accompanied by destruction. Joel 1:15 says, “Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.” Similarly, Isaiah 13:6 says, “Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come!” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 says that destruction from the Lord will be preceded by a rebellion, followed by “the man of lawlessness...who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship...proclaiming himself to be God.” Would such a man strive in ironic fashion to make something great again that never ceased to be great to begin with?

....

When Lord Jesus does appear, you will definitely know what God's Plan for this world, and the future world to come, was about all along. Some are given to know about it now during this present world, so it's not like it is completely hidden because God reveals it in His written Word. It's simply a matter of studying His Word to show ourselves approved of Him, right dividing it like Apostle Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:18.
