  • 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

    Trinity logic...

    s0uljah, That is just it. Trinity concept is not solely derived, proved or established in Scripture. Many cases can be equally made concerning God's construction. Thus I am compelled to believe non of us know with certainty the answer to God's make up. Why do you trust man's traditions...

    Trinity logic...

    My point is that none of us know for certain how God is constructed. Therefore none of us should hold dogmatcally to any ideas about this subject. Dogmatic adherence to vague ideas breeds division. Not what God wants in his body. Jim

    Trinity logic...

    If man is made in God's image, consider this. I am a father, son and an uncle. Three aspects of me yet still one singular fellow. Does this analogy also fit with Scripture? Thoughts? Jim

    Trinity logic...

    My experience has shown that many, many Messianic brothers love Jesus as their Messiah and do not see through their tradition or Scriptures that God is anything other than a singular God who refers to himself on occassion using a plurality. They have never embraced Gentile Christianity nor do...

    Trinity logic...

    Let me ask you. Why are you convinced Trinity is exactly how God is constructed? You will answer, "Because Catholic institution tells me." Okay. How does it know trinity is exactly how God is constructed? It will say, "Because we rely on apostolic tradition as relayed by early fathers."...

    Original Church from Israel...Where did it go?

    You aren't going to believe me but my sources are almost exclusively Catholic ones. Chief one being "Catholic Encyclopedia". In my original post I list web address. Literally have read it as if it were a legal document. As I attempted to put the facts on a time line strange voids...

    Original Church from Israel...Where did it go?

    Sorry, can't offer you an author besides me. It is my studies over the past five years have produced what you are now reading. Mine and only mine. You Catholic faithful can take shots at me for this. But my arguments are sound. Look forward to discussing them with you. Truth has to be...

    Original Church from Israel...Where did it go?

    Hello people, Good to hear from all of you. Here is my point. There were two sects of Christinity in the pre-Constantine period. The original Jewish believers from Israel and the gentile believers from Rome who were eventually referred to as "Catholic". Hostility existed between Rome's...

    Original Church from Israel...Where did it go?

    Hello group. Some of you have asked for an overview of history showing how Rome became the foundation of all institutional Christianity. Some of you will like more detail than shown here. Others will find it just enough. And to those who think it is too much, I apologize. If the...
