• 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.

but the title God (alone with no qualifier) refers specifically to God the Father, just like Jesus refers to God the Son, and Holy Spirit refers to God the Holy Ghost/Spirit.

i was not aware of this ... i dont think that necessarily holds true in all churches.

so if you say "i love God" that ONLY means you love the Father?

Nope. It means I love the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are three and they are one.

ok well then you didnt follow what was being said. Racer said if you just say "God" without any qualifiers then that automatically means the Father, and I said I dont think thats true in all churches. You said its true in your church, so then you were saying that when someone says "God" it only means the Father, and now youre syaing thats not how it is ....
