  • 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.

    RAPTURE***Who is the bride

    Someone help me out here... I'm trying to remember a song... It starts : "And they'll know we are Christians by..." Is it : A ~ our Love or B ~ Our incessant bickering and name calling? Hope someone can help me with this... God bless

    RAPTURE***Who is the bride

    The answer to the OP is indeed the Church of Jesus Christ In 2nd Corinthians (Chapter 11) Paul says to the Church : "For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God, since I betrothed you to one husband to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ" And he builds on this further in Ephesians...

    RAPTURE***Who is the bride

    Yes, the Jews began a tradition of using a specific day of the week to be God's Sabbath... God, however, never said that. God writes His Truth... Problem is, mankind can't read without spinning it to match their preconceptions... Clearly God has told us to rest 1 day in 7, but just as...

    RAPTURE***Who is the bride

    LoL... Good point, but I'm certain God can tell the difference between a charitable act and a tax shelter... If the Don has an awakening and truly feeds the poor, I'm guessing we'll see him at the Gates... Not for me to judge...

    RAPTURE***Who is the bride

    Heya W-Wall... Just a point... You state that folks that go to Church on Sunday are somehow breaking the 4th Commandment. I think you may be making some assumptions that you might want to reconsider... Assumption 1 ~ Isn't it possible that someone may go to Church on Sunday and still keep...

    the EBILS of birth control!

    Shameless plug for my friends at http://www.holtinternational.org/ Beware of the .com version!!! I think it's a scam site. Cost to those with resources is higher than the norm so that cost to those with limited resources can be lower. Their philosophy is that children are not their...

    the EBILS of birth control!

    I need to double check this, as I'm not near any of my reference material, but I think this action is in full compliance with the teaching of the Catholic Church. (Not that you as a non-Catholic should really care, but just to let you know) Medical procedures that are required to save life are...

    the EBILS of birth control!

    I think you don't fully understand the Catholic concept of "Mortal Sin". Stealing a penny can be a "Mortal Sin", while stealing a million dollars might not be. All kind of complicated and I have to get to work. It is NOT Evil. Evil is something else entirely. Trust me on this till I...

    would you consider yourself to be a good person?

    Must... Not... Derail.... Thread.... Opps... too late :) Yes there is no law against Love, joy, peace, etc... But there is plenty of law against calling a driver that cuts you off an idiot... Against looking at a woman crossing the street and thinking thoughts beyond "My what a lovely...

    the EBILS of birth control!

    Oh! One more point. I'm not saying that the teaching of the Catholic Church is not anti-Birth Control. It is. Very much so. And that is clearly documented. I was discussing interpretation of Genesis 38, and the fact that the Catholic Church does NOT teach that this passage is a condomnation (pun...

    the EBILS of birth control!

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Especially in America. There is a joke among Catholics that may help explain the problem better... It is often said that the problem with the lack of new priests in North America stems from the fact that few are being called to the priesthood while everyone is being...

    the EBILS of birth control!

    Oh Good!!! You're here to give us Tradition following heathens a good old fashion dose of Scripture that shows that Birth Control is in line with God's Will! I've been waiting for this! Fire away!!! God Bless Me

    would you consider yourself to be a good person?

    Just curious... Where did you find this referance to my goodness? I love to be educated :) Especially when it's about good stuff for me :) And yep... I've sinned, been forgiven, and commited the same sin again later. Not a highlight of my life, but Jesus raised the bar pretty high when He...

    would you consider yourself to be a good person?

    I voted no... I'm not "good", just forgiven... And the number of times I need to be forgiven for the same stupid stuff, well, good just seems like a goal still.

    A Futile Effort

    I figured out a long time ago that a two year old had a better chances of truly understanding quantum physics than I have of understanding the Nature of God... 15 minutes of contemplative prayer on the Trinity should make that one clear. I've decided to wait till Judgement Day and ask about...
