  • 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.

Do you eat pork?

Who would have thought that a simple "Do you eat pork?" would lead to 360 posts and a veritable war about bacon!
That because everyone is guided by the Holy Spirit in their interpretation of:

"Douglas’s Encyclopaedia: A Book of Reference for Bacon Curers"

and those who disagree are wrong.

Truly, the Catechism of the Sacred Order of Christian Baconism.

Thus far, the text!

As one who, on occasion, dry cures and smokes the odd pork belly, this could prove a valuable resource.

Where does Acts say God brought the animals up to heaven?
By your logic…there are no longer unclean animals on earth we as Christians are free to eat flesh of any animal. The animals Peter saw were part of a vision.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
please take note Peter did not jump to the conclusion he could now eat pigs and vultures and snakes
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
and the vessel that held the animals went back to heaven
34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
then Peter understood -- unclean gentiles are now clean and can be converted
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

9<1161> On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

16<1161> This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

If the words recorded in the WORD of God are not good enough --- then I can be of no help

This thread had a small clean up and may have more.

Mind the flaming rule, especially this:

  • Stating or implying that another Christian member, or group of members, are not Christian is not allowed.​


Some members are walking a thin line between debate and flaming. Do not imply other Christians are not Christians, nor imply that if they disagree with you, they are part of "the many".
Question, does that include using scripture that included the words "the Many"?
not trying to be a problem just want to know if I should not use these scriptures

Not what is entering into the mouth defiles the man; but what is proceeding out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
If we are using this verse in this thread about what is unclean or clean animals -

Matthew 15:11 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

Later on-

Matthew 15:15 "Then answered Peter and said unto Him, "Declare unto us this parable."


Just curious, it's yours and others stance most likely then (because many Catholics believe Peter is their first pope) that Peter still did not understand this parable after asking Christ to explain it? Because we know it was some years later that he got the vision with the sheet and unclean animals and was confused about it. So if Matthew15:11 is partly about unclean/clean animals why was Peter still confused years later even after asking Christ to explain that parable?

I will say this verse does resonate with me more than other at times-

Romans 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit."

You can ask by starting a ticket in Contact Us.
I am old, 86, and not at all up to date with how all of this works -- what is a "ticket"?
where is it found and what is its use?
For all things regarding my computer and phone I go to my 15 year grand son, do I need to get him involved?
