• 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.

Most reliable method of preserving doctrine?

I think it's safe to assume the most reliable method of preserving doctrine is unmitigated power and forceful application.

Funny you don't have a clip of Protestant intolerance (or intolerence - never can get that)

ultimately, I stopped in because I'm rather bored this evening. I'm under no illusion that anything changes!
Illusion or delusion? :)

NKJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

To answer it yet AGAIN, yes - self declaring self to be the Voice of God, infallible/unaccountable with the unmitigated POWER to exempt self from the issue of truth and instead require quiet,docilic submission to self is rejecting the Rule of Scripture
Oh, so Jesus did reject Sola Scriptura. :wave:

No, although God may ADD to His corpus of Scripture.
If you were God, perhaps you could, too.
But as you know, that issue is moot here. This thread is not about what is and is not Scripture or about why none on the planet agrees with your denomination on that issue - just itself exclusively.

lol.
So you've stopped by to see how the more things change
(not) the more they stay the same? Or did you wonder
if there was anything new under the sun?

Which makes the rest of us what? ;)

Paul was not averse to enforcing correct doctrine and practice when the preservation of such was in question. He didn't hesitate to throw his authority around when the need arose. He makes this clear in his letters I believe.

If you had a precious treasure more valuable than anything on earth, to what length would you go to safeguard it?

there needs to be a control.

Perhaps you missed my earlier post---Could you provide details on the "Liquori, charismatic, and feminist" or what it was you said that you thought were divisions in doctrine in Catholicism?

this thread is about the similarities that each side shares in common, not about one particular faith.

Love paul.. but what prompted this statement?

Oh believe me, I do have a precious treasure more valuable IMO, than anything
on earth...
but what are you speaking of in reference to Paul here?
(doctrine?)

Paul was way cool.
I especially enjoyed 'listening' to his "bragging" speech.
Oh was he hot when he wrote that letter or what? lol

What happened in the interim? Jesus using parables, but they weren't yet written down.

Sola Scritpurists would be in there with the Pharisees, dismissing anything not 'written'.
