• 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.

The Canon of Scripture is dogma. It was settled in the early 300's, dogmatized at Trent.
I have tried explaining this several times, and you are either not listening or incapable of understanding the point. Since you strike me as perfectly intelligence, my intuition says "not listening."

Your intuition also wants to believe Protestant Bible scholarship.

My intuition wants to believe current Catholic teaching. Not so with you, eh?
I choose to go with correct Catholic teaching. Nothing you've produced is proven true.

The current Catholic teaching is indeed correct.

Let's give this a rest. It's not going to go anywhere. God bless you.

Hi James,

As your sources say, the 'Q' theory is purely hypothetical and there is absolutely no proof available. It is all about man's desire to answer the reason for the similarity in the gospels while denying that the same Spirit gave utterance to each of them and should therefore be similar. If we, born again believers, want to assign that the gospels came from some similar source, we should designate it as 'HS'.

God bless you.
In Christ, Ted

I think posts like this are the reason people think Christians are closed minded and ignorant.

How the bible came about is very important and saying "God did it" isn't a sufficient answer.

I agree. You would think it fell out of heaven the way some folks talk.

The canon only speaks to what is recognized as valid.

The order has nothing to do with when it was written.
I've told him this I think about four times and he doesn't believe me. I'm officially passing the baton to you. Maybe you'll have better luck, or better skill with words. Maybe he'll just like you better cuz you're a guy.

He SB,

I'm certainly willing to allow that each one is entitled to their understanding of why others think the way they do.

God bless you.
In Christ, Ted
