  • 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 OK, you keep telling yourself that and ignore all the threads on CF where protestants have shown, using Scripture, multiple errors in roman doctrine.


And romans wonder why we say they value tradition above Scripture.


Nevermind, see post to LLOJ

QUOTE:

.......No one would deny a little girl the opportunity to tell someone that she loves her father. Common sense tells us that Jesus wasn’t forbidding this type of use of the word "father."

In fact, to forbid it would rob the address "Father" of its meaning when applied to God, for there would no longer be any earthly counterpart for the analogy of divine Fatherhood. The concept of God’s role as Father would be meaningless if we obliterated the concept of earthly fatherhood.

But in the Bible the concept of fatherhood is not restricted to just our earthly fathers and God. It is used to refer to people other than biological or legal fathers, and is used as a sign of respect to those with whom we have a special relationship.

For example, Joseph tells his brothers of a special fatherly relationship God had given him with the king of Egypt: "So it was not you who sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt" (Gen. 45:8).

Job indicates he played a fatherly role with the less fortunate: "I was a father to the poor, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know" (Job 29:16). And God himself declares that he will give a fatherly role to Eliakim, the steward of the house of David: "In that day I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah . . . and I will clothe him with [a] robe, and will bind [a] girdle on him, and will commit . . . authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah" (Is. 22:20–21).

This type of fatherhood not only applies to those who are wise counselors (like Joseph) or benefactors (like Job) or both (like Eliakim), it also applies to those who have a fatherly spiritual relationship with one. For example, Elisha cries, "My father, my father!" to Elijah as the latter is carried up to heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kgs. 2:12). Later, Elisha himself is called a father by the king of Israel (2 Kgs. 6:21).....

I see how Roman Catholics weasel out of the Word of God. Wasn't Christ clear enough: "But ye, be not ye called, etc."

you have to be fair, Jack.

to the average Protestant on the other side of the argument, they can't understand why you can't see past the blinders on YOUR eyes.

it's a common enough accusation, that flows from both sides.

Yeah...

I am trying that new method we talked about.

Darn it, I like a little heat in my debate too. ;)

What would it take for Orthodoxs to come under Pope

quote: The Pope would renounce his Roman Catholicism and become Orthodox. There is nothing that would cause the Church as a whole to join with him.

You have shown no errors. You cannot. Your interpretation is just that: You're interpretation. Your simplistic understanding of the Word of God can never surpass that of the ancient 2000 year old Church bound together with the great saints, doctors, popes and theologians of the ages.

And by the way, I'm an American, not a Roman.

The same as it would take for you: An excesise in humility, and an admission that there is an authority higher than yourself.
We recognize God ordained authority.

It would help if the pope repented of his arrogance and centuries of error on some key doctrinal issues as well...starting with the unam sanctum.


and with that, welcome to the ignore list.

Ignore list...

Isn't that how Protestantism started?

Add to that the Pharisees and their ignore list for Jesus and his Words.

Ignore list just seems so cowardly and unChrstian to me. :wave:

Since Revelation was written by John with the help of the Holy Spirit, I would read Revelation as God speaking through John and through the centuries. ;)
