  • 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.

Kingdom of Israel restored on Pentecost.

@samaus123456789 -
1/ The lost House of Irael is not yet rejoined with Judah. 3000 is not 'as many as the sands of the sea'.
2/ The Davidic Kingdom is not yet restored. Jesus hasn't Returned yet.
3/ What happened in 70 to 135AD, was just the conquest and dispersion of Judah.
4/ Christians are Gods Peoples, - 1 Peter 2:9-10, Revelation 5:9-10 From every tribe, race, nation and language.
5/ The Israeli flag displays the star of Rephaim. An ancient Satanic symbol.
6/ The joke about the 'lost tribes' now returning to the Jewish State of Israel, is that their qualification is to believe in Judaism.

Anyone who thinks you should be banned, must support their own beliefs with scriptural and other proofs,
It said although they were like the sand of the sea only a remnant would be saved. there was 7000 back at elijahs time. NT times the remnant was the 144 000 in rev 7 all saved via belief in jesus by 70 ad. rev 1-12 happened 70 ad rev 13-22 is future
2 the book of acts cites the prophecy in amos saying i will return and rebuild the tents of david. according to acts the davidic kingdom was restored on pentecost
3 70 ad was gods biggest judgement on OT israel in history and the end of OT israel never to come back again
4yes
5yes it is the mark of the beast i have a post on it
6 the lost tribes were lost from 700 bc until 30-70 ad pentecost regathered then all remnant israel was saved by 70 ad. james 1 says "to the 12 tribes among the nations"
a lot of christians dont like this. the christian zionists. they support the synagogue of satan religion regardless of what jesus or the bible says

Rome’s Failure to Correct Germany’s Bishops has Emboldened Their Pro-LGBT Agenda

You guys gotta help me here.

I read the article.

What is the crisis ? I'm serious.

Maybe as an American my "crisis" threshold has gone up but...

.... I see a Theological disagreement and a lot of talk about Islam (which I thought was weird given the topic of the article). But I honestly don't a crisis.


What am I missing ?
A possible schism is always a crisis. That would be my main concern for the salvation of souls.

To Hell or Not To Hell

I recognize a time past as in we all have a past. That is what I see Paul referring to. His own personal history, but withing this present age.

But as that passage goes, you do agree that, before Paul was saved, we gentiles were cut off from God and have no hope, without becoming part of Israel?

Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

Here you go.
Thank you for providing the source. The only thing that interested me in my quick read was that the article was published in 2014 and their measure was the WISC which was replaced in 1974 by the WISC-R. I think the results are relative (no pun intended) and would not have been changed by using the current version of the test, but I wonder why they did that. I doubt it is a textual error given the thoroughness of the article.

FBI has opened 250 investigations tied to violent online network '764' that preys on teens, top official says

DOJ charges former Navy sailor, 4 others for alleged roles in 'monstrous' online extortion group

Authorities say the group, "Greggy's Cult," later helped spawn the 764 network.

For much of the past year, federal authorities have been issuing similar warnings about online predators operating much like "Greggy's Cult," especially members of the online extremist network 764, who often extort young victims into self-harm but also desensitize them with neo-Nazi or other extremist propaganda and push victims to commit extreme acts of violence against others, including mass shootings.

The Economist on Trump Economy

It looks like they know what the effects of Trump's actions have done to the economy, and are trying to delay the discovery.
I don't think those kinds of "psychic economic visions" can be made with regards all economic policy endeavors and exploration.

Some of the easy stuff can be predicted with a certain degree of confidence. (for example, something blatant like "We're going to increase sales tax on all items to 90%")

Then other things predicted wildly inaccurately. Like when Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman famously said "In a few years you'll find, that the impact the internet has on the economy will be no greater than that of the fax machine"


But I don't think the kinds of things currently being argued about necessarily fit that "easy to predict the outcome" model.
-- unless of course, its "self-fulfilling prophecy" when people sabotage new ideas on purpose just to strong arm people into going back to the comfortable status quo.


Admittedly, I'm undecided on aspects of the whole tariff thing....but I do know, that it's the kind of change that will have a certain "pain period" due to its deviation from the status quo, and only after that adjustment period would we know if it was actually a good idea.

The issue is that the "keepers of the status quo" like the status quo and profit handsomely off of it, and in a confidence-based economy, all it takes for one of them to sabotage an idea is to give a statement to one of their pals in the mainstream media who will print it, and cause a panic (undermining confidence), which will kneecap any new idea before it's even given a fair attempt.

‘TERMINATED!’ Trump Calls to End FEMA and Let States Manage Disasters for ‘BIG SAVINGS’

There are rich states and poor (usually red) states. There are states that are continually beset with natural disasters--Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California--and others that are usually safe from hurricanes and forest fires.

This is why FEMA should be a federal program--and Trump should allow FEMA to do its job without petty vindictive revenge fantasies that he continually engages in.

Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case

Trump is poison to America, the world and the planet itself. And yet we swallowed him because he appealed to our basest nature.

Are we waking up yet? Can we still recover?
No.

Hello everybody

My name is just plain old Dave. I used to post on Christian forums for about eight years when they first became popular in the early two thousands, and then stopped for about ten plus years, until recently when I started posting again. It seems that the character of many of the main forums has changed. I'm guessing that many were sold, which I always thought was inevitable since these were kind of a last stand where Christians could still talk without the 'modern thinking' (to put in mildly) policing us. So I'm looking for a new home.

My views on Scripture have grown, and they they have always been unique in a lot of ways and continue to be so. I've always considered myself reformed, but at the same time, I've always questioned some of the traditional reformed views of Scripture. Recently, many of those questions are being answered and I'm finding myself moving further away from traditional reformed views. Though, foundationally, I still hold to God's sovereignty over all things and continue in those core Biblical beliefs. I'm anxious to bring my understanding of Scripture to productive discussions and see what happens.

Sorry in advance for my dyslexia crippled posts. Sometimes it makes my already hard to understand posts even more difficult to read. I have good days and bad. Looking forward to talking....

Dave

Thanks for sharing!

I'm brand new to this intriguing Forum.
I love productive discussions so Hopefully I get to interface your Understanding of scripture.
