• 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.

No Mary and the Saints don’t answer prayers they pray to God in suplication and God answers their prayers.

Where is it written?

Where is it written that you can eat a cheeseburger on a Thursday afternoon at 4:57PM wearing a green shirt and orange tennis shoes in Dallas Texas?

If it’s not written in the Bible does it mean that it’s wrong?

Now show me where it’s written that praying to Mary and the Saints is a sin. And please don’t just disregard my question again. This is the third time I’ve asked it and you keep dodging the question.

I don't pray to a cheeseburger either. I would get the same results though

First of the Ten Commandments.

Perhaps, it is uncertain if they hear our prayers or not. The Bible doesn’t specify.

You said yourself Mary is not a God and all Christian churches agree with that. So that commandment is completely irrelevant.

What was missing in the Christian religion that all other religions have?

I only pray to God also. But I see no point in condemning others who also honor and love God because they pray to Mary and the Saints. I seek unity with my brothers & sisters in Christ. Not division.

Gods are the only things that ever get prayed to. That's why it's a problem.

It's far deeper that. It is the Babylon mystery goddess and child superimposition that is the PROBLEM.

You choose to honor Mary and the Saints one way and I choose to honor them another. What is important is we both honor them.

I didn't know that Anglicans prayed to Mary too. Wow, you learn something new everyday on these forums.
I believe the correct statement is that Anglicans pray with the saints in the great community of faith
