• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

LOl...
In what way have we replaced Jesus with priest and popes and the Mother of God?
In ways you can't admit to yourselves.
Infallability, power to forgive sins, mediation duties, etc., etc., etc.
Denials and rationalizations can fool all the people some of the time.
The trick is fooling them all, all of the time.
God preserves a remnant.

What the heck is that? What makes you dare talk to another ppl like that?
You inspire it with malicious polemic.
You beg for it with your self contradiction:
But, but, Calvin is not due any honor or veneration what so ever, that is where y'all err. It's vile to think he is... :eek:

But with that said, I hope he did find mercy. The neat thing about Christianity is, we are never with out hope... it's virtue , you know... we only have it, because God gives it.
You call it vile to honor him "whatsoever" & them honor him with hope of mercy.
You figuratively pee on the carpet & then complain about how you're treated.

John Calvin (July 10, 1509 – May 27, 1564) was a French Protestant theologian during the Protestant Reformation and was a central developer of the system of Christian theology called Calvinism or Reformed theology. In Geneva, he rejected Papal authority, established a new scheme of civic and ecclesiastical governance, and created a central hub from which Reformed theology was propagated.
Can you show me one authoritative source that refers to him as St John Calvin? An encyclopedia, a dictionary, or something?
