  • 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.

    The church's misunderstanding of witchcraft

    Wayseer you are right on, Witchcraft is anti-christian end of story. there is nothing in witchcraft that can give you salvation. there is nothing that will give you peace, nothing there that will give you a relationship with God, and in return recieve his grace outside of a true relationship...

    Defining "Sacred Tradition"

    i looked in the strongs book, holy in the context of the book revelation was in the greek defined as "purity from defilement". in most other cases they don't use that definition for the word holy.

    Defining "Sacred Tradition"

    i agree that the translation could have changed it slightly in the meaning. but this is also avioding my other two verses saying that only god is good and God alone is holy. unless mary is god she is not holy

    Defining "Sacred Tradition"

    if mary had not sinned then Scripture would be wrong becaused not everyone had sinned. And God ALONE is holy. not you not me not mary not peter not the president not the pope Only God Rev 15:4 Luke 18:19

    Defining "Sacred Tradition"

    The rest of the verse says and all fall short of the glory of God. so by insisting that jesus had sin you are saying god sins or that jesus is not god, and scripture also says god alone is holy, no one is good but god alone. and jesus was fully human but he was also fully god. and mary...
