• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

why would you post a quote from someone the Bible doesn't tell us to listen to?
Erm :/
To make the point that Paul would not expect people to call him father (or saint)

I Escaped mariolatry, yet found that paulatry is as much a problem in the other camp(s).
Haven’t come across much James, John or peter worship yet though :) oh that’s right, they didn’t have Phd’s did they?

I love The Lord’s words at Jesus’ transfiguration “This is My beloved Son, hear Him”

Today is the day of St. James, btw. Divine liturgies are being held across the world to commemorate St. James and his martyrdom. We know how he was martyred. Do you?

Which James are you talking about? The Greater or Lesser James?

no one said St Paul expects to be called those things, although he did refer to himself as a father and Christians as saints.

no one worships anyone other than God here, so that's irrelevant. and neither Paul nor Mary had PhDs either.

and we do listen to Christ.

Nice! A new Lord of Spirits episode! Were you able to access the episode before this one? It kept kicking me out whenever I tried.
That’s weird... I haven’t tried it.

Why was yesterday, in particular, the day of James?
