  • 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

As for the Apocryphal books (they're ones like 1&2 Maccabrees)... Im very boarderline about them... I dont think I would in the end accept them... I mean even jewish scholars in the early church times agreed with the early church in getting rid of them due to their dubious reliability.... (the roman catholic church If i am not mistaken actually bought the apocryphal books in after to the reformation)...

No, these books have been accepted since the earliest times. Many of the early Christians called these books Scripture. But there was SOME contention over them, and has been for years.

No, all the Roman Catholic Church did after the reformation was redeclare what they believed to be Scripture for hundreds of years.

No problem with me. However, you may have just revealed one of the secrets of the Ancient & Accepted Sacred Brotherhood of Forum Moderators, the penalties of which I am not entrusted to bear witness.
