  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    And did they "incur death"? At whose hands did they die by? Inquisition?

    I brought up the filioque, James Bond, because I backed off in another thread that was in OBOB on the subject of why Catholics say THEY are "the one true church" when Orthodox have just as much right to say that. But in this thread, in a. Forum that is not Catholic per se, I want to pursue...

    Seasons Come and Seasons Go

    The Byrds had a great song from this passage.

    Nicene Creed originally did NOT have the filioque. It is carved on steps of Vatican sans filioque. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father.

    Halloween Ideas for Youth

    The youth at the United Methodist church I used to go to WROTE THEIR OWN CREED. It was very good, and was used in liturgy along with Apostle' s Creed, Nicene, Canadian, and other creeds in the hymnal. Maybe the kids could compose a Halloween Creed.

    Methodists use Welch' s grape juice, Episcopalians use wine. Yew kin drink from a common cup, or little individual plastic cup - yer choice - and yew kin tare off a hunk of real bread or take a sorry little wafer as hard as a rock. It is NOT "merely symbolic" IMO. If coca cola and Oreo...

    If anyone here thinks God has a LITERAL "right hand", well, I - I give up.

    catholics, i am a protestant, i want to hear you

    I believe in a Real Presence, but have no explanation for it. Transubstanstian confuses me. I try to keep an open mind on Perpetual Virginity of Mary. It is not a matter of dogma to me. My main objection is to Papal authority. No reason I can see that Bishop of Rome is somehow "higher" than...

    What about the elephant in the room?

    I don't think Protestants are more aware of corruption in the Catholic Church than Catholics are. Protestants have scandals too. When one part of the body hurts - we all hurt. But we will not be prevailed against.

    Sola Scriptura is nonsense, isn't it?

    I would not call ANY of the methods of guidance "nonsense" Papal Magesterium, Metropolitan Magisterium, Sola Scriptura, or Wesleyan Quadrilateral. But the first move regarding Sola Scriptura would be to define the SCOPE of Scripture. Just 66 books of Protestant Bible? Sorry, that leaves out...
