• 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.

"evangelization has been a desperate race to save as many souls as possible from God"

No it's a desperate race to save people from the consequences of rejecting the salvation bought for every believer at great cost on the cross.

Actually hell won't be that bad. With each person's due punishment spread over all eternity, the suffering is going to be very attenuated.
Don't count on it. It's possible that 'eternity' has to do with degree rather than time passage. The sin was against infinite God.
