• 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

Blazen said:
Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Rom. 3:27-28 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.
Thank you for posting this Catholic teaching.

Blazen it is starting to appear as though you are "trolling" here, it is one thing to ask questions and quite another to play scripture ping pong with us. If you sincerely want to understand us that is fine. If your intention is to come here and show us the error of our ways and try to "save our souls" you can forget about it because "It ain't happenin'!" We are fine and feel completely confident in the doctrine which our church has been teaching for the past 2000 years. If I am wrong then I apologize in advance :)

I'm definitely in a stage in my life where I feel great about being a Catholic and confident in the Magisterium of the Church. I may, as anyone, question certain things, but as always it always comes to fidelity. So, Blazen, understand that we are here to always answer your questions so as long as you are trying to understand us better. That agreement does not require that you agree with us or that you convert. It does however require that you respect our view points as we do yours.

Now, we have answered some of your questions plenty of times. Do you have anything new to bring up?

God bless

Mod Hat ONOk, it is becoming clear that this thread is not a question and answer session but a veiled attempt at a debate, which is against the forum rules.

So at this time I am closing the thread. Please do not start new threads in the same manner or they will be closed and the thread starter warned.

Peace.

Mod Hat OFF
