  • 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

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    Strictly speaking, God warns us through St. Paul that to rely on any part of the Law in a legalistic sense would bind one to the entire Law, and thus preclude Salvation, since as the Old Testament demonstrates, humans sin, and Christ shows how even apparent compliance with the letter of the law...

    Ellen White on the mark of the beast for those that worship on Sunday

    You’re omitting quite a lot there, notably the Great Commission, the imperative to baptize all in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Matthew 28:19, the Summary of the Law, the imperative to celebrate the Eucharist in John ch. 6 and the institution narratives such as in 1 Corinthians...

    According to Catholicism, what must one believe and do to be saved?

    Respectfully, because I don’t think you’ve realized this, what you posted concerning the Council of Chalcedon was an anachronistic interpretation, not a factual description.

    According to Catholicism, what must one believe and do to be saved?

    Indeed; in all fairness to the Oriental Orthodox they were also faithful to St. Cyril; the tragedy at Chalcedon was a needless schism between two groups neither of which was Nestorian. There are three apparent villains: Eutyches, who had lied to Pope Dioscorus of Alexandria, and had been...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    This is completely false. All mainstream Christian churches celebrate Pascha, the Passover (that’s what Good Friday, Holy Saturday and the Feast of the Resurrection *are* Likewise Pentecost is universally celebrated by mainstream Christians, for it was on that day, at a worship service on a...

    Ellen White on the mark of the beast for those that worship on Sunday

    Excellent post, my friend, and no, if she said that, she is completely in error, and such a doctrine is a grave offense to the millions of martyrs of the Turkish genocide of Christians in 1915, the Communist genocides from 1917-1991, and the more recent ethnic cleansing of Christians from the...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    Forgive me first of all for assuming you were discounting my historical statements; I am delighted to hear that you are among those familiar with the history of the Eastern churches and are familiar with some of the subject matter I discussed, which I have found is sadly all too obscure at least...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    I’m not at all sure about that, since we see various schisms and fractures in the community, especially the North-South split.

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    How can any person or group pf people represent an ethnicity corporately? This is my point - as an ethnic group, as opposed to a religious identity, we have substantial persons of Hebraic ethnicity, descended from the tribes of Benjamin, Judah, the Levites and the Kohanim subset of Levites (a...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    OR - the lection in question refers prophetically to the Passion of our Lord, where the Hagiopolitan Jews did, in assembly, reject Christ our True God, but later, many repented, and even at the time, there were those such as St. Joseph of Arimathea and St. Nicodemus who while not of the Eleven...

    Space Venture is also the implied name of the spacecraft being prepared for launch at Space Mountain at Disneyland. You here it referenced in the comchat. The SF epic I’m close to completing uses a slight jest for how the interstellar travel works (making the design theoretically possible to...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    Indeed, there is neither Jew nor Greek. As for the rest of your post, if some Jews embraced Christ, including St. Paul, the supreme example of a Jew failing to recognize the Messiah and then repenting to the point of being numbered together with the 11 Holy Apostles that were the faithful of...

    When You Lose Interest In A Series You Once Liked

    I refuse to let Kurtzman-era woke trash ruin classic Trek for me. It’s a pity Paramount / CBS didn’t sell Trek to the chap who did The Orville and Family Guy; he might be a secular humanist, but he at least was a true fan who understood Trek, and The Orville felt more like Trek than anything...
