• 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.

I mean, if you want to continue the claim that the Spanish Empire was the legitimate successor of the Roman Empire as they liked to pretend, then sure.

But the Roman Empire? Western Empire in 476 AD and the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453 AD.
The Spanish empire was the Habsburgs.

Eastern Rome didn’t fall. It moved to Moscow. Everyone knows that.

I don’t think you have a clue what your talking about.

More than you, but tell me: how exactly can the Volga Tatars, the Siberian Tatars, the Crimean Tatars, the Lipka, Astrakhan Tatars, and their ilk be considered the 'heirs of Rome'?

But it didn't. The Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453, and the Tsardom of Russia didn't begin until a full century AFTER the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire.

But that’s not how it works. The Russian monarchy was well incorporated into the Byzantine Empire when the Turks took over.

What is your evidence? It's all very well writing that the stars aren't millions of miles away & neither is the sun 93 million miles away, but unless you have evidence to back up that statement, what reason does anybody have for believing it.

What is your eviendence for believing that they are ?

Because they were serving the legitimate hier of Rome. Some didn’t of course.
