• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Respectfully, Ignatius, and the other Early Church Fathers speak with more authority than you do.

Is that so? I would never have thought that. I thought that EVERY ONE who seeks the Lord for inspiration and truth have authority. I guess you live and learn, that is if you are listening to the Spirit of God and not just trotting out what you have been told is the truth.

By the way where is Ignatius quoted in the Bible?

Well, you claimed the Roman Catholic Church changed the Eucharist, which is completely erroneous and untrue. Who told you that, or where did you read it?

It is also untrue and offensive to claim that we merely are “trotting out what (we) have been told is the truth.”

Many of us have done extensive research in the history of the church.

And we are not alone. John Wesley, Martin Luther, Jan Hus, and John Calvin, as well as many Anglicans, agree with us, and so do the three Eastern churches (Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian/Ancient Church of the East).

Have you even heard of those? Because if you study their history, you will realize the fallacy of blaming everything on the Catholics.
