  • 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

    When should a pastor be restored after sexual sin?

    And who should decide who gets restored and who gets exiled?

    See post #127. Biologists for "material" and for "trivial" certain biologist who frequent this site. ? Gen 1:26-27. The actor in these verses is the Lord. Or do you think that God is irrational? Or that His creation is unintelligible?

    How Long have Humans Lived on Earth?

    So we can see that the biologists won't be of much help here as they focus on the material and trivial only. As argued earlier, humans are bodies and souls -- rational souls. So we look to archaeologists who will help us find and date evidence of behaviors that can only be attributed to...

    Christian nationalist pastor McPherson: "Empathy is aligned with hell."

    In His eternal, omniscient, and immutable mind, there could be no "plan B"; only "plan A". Augustine recognized such in labeling the cause of original sin as felix culpa. I suppose we, who experience sequentially rather than eternally, might see that as a "plan B".

    So, it's pettiness then. And for that trait, you have been roundly praised by your devoted followers. If you took the time to read the cited article then you would not have been so confused. You and your gear-head friends just need to get out more often. Try to watch some of the Olympic...

    When should a pastor be restored after sexual sin?

    When should a pastor be restored after sexual sin?

    Through Nathan, God forgave David’s sins, stating “The Lord has taken away your sin” (2 Samuel 12:13-25).

    Christian nationalist pastor McPherson: "Empathy is aligned with hell."

    Yes. Prior to the Fall salvation was unnecessary. After the Fall, man could not merit salvation. Only the God-Man could and did. “That which is not assumed is not healed (redeemed)” St, Gregory’s letter to Cledonius.

    When should a pastor be restored after sexual sin?

    How long did God take to restore David's kingship after his sexual sin, not to mention his murder?

    Why would you write that? Researchers prefer primary sources, always. The Catechism does not merely reflect the Magisterium. The Catechism is in itself Magisterial, albeit in Cliff Notes form. When one reads the catechism and does not understand, the footnotes will lead them to a fuller...

    Christian nationalist pastor McPherson: "Empathy is aligned with hell."

    No difference: His insight = His opinion. OK. No. The fall corrupted our nature. Prior to the Fall, we were open to sin. After the Fall, we are diminished and inclined to sin, but not totally so. Now sin cannot entirely take away from man the fact that he is a rational being, for then he...

    Hundreds of psychiatrists diagnosed Trump as having Malignant NPD. If the Administration got sick of him, who enacts the 25th? When? How?

    You mean, Hundreds of psychiatrists and mental health quacks. Malignant narcissism is not recognized as a diagnostic category in any major classification system for mental disorders, namely DSM-5-TR, or ICD-11.

    Red herring alert. The issue is not the authority in the Catechism. As an aside and to improve your catechesis in citing the catechism, I explained and you learned that sole source of the Catechism's authority resides in its footnotes. The issue in this thread is resolving your erroneous...

    Christian nationalist pastor McPherson: "Empathy is aligned with hell."

    ? Why are you looking to argue when none is needed? Hobbes fidelity to Christianity does not matter; his insight does. Do you disagree that w/o Christ our lives would be more like the lives Hobbes described?
