• 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.

I am for real and so is the devil. Artificial birth control and sterilization is bad news - Satan is smiling everytime one of God's children falls for his tricks.

So many people see nothing wrong with interfering in the creation of life. People should strive to take care of all of God's children, not strive to stop their creation.

ROFL! Good parody :D

Birth control and sterilisation, when you want no more children, is sensible and of course it isn't wrong. If it prevents abortion or children being brought into families who don't want them, or haven't the means to care for them then surely it is good?

We interfere with nature all the time, when we take an appendix out, or have a heart transplant. Are you saying that we should be back in the stone age?

I did not say that we should not interfere with nature, I said we should not interfere in the creation of life. Technology and medicine are wonderful tools if they are used within the teachings of the Church. When they are misused then no good can come of it.

When a man and a woman marry they are saying to God that they will cooperate with Him and accept any children that He wants them to have.
It is about serving God and not about our own selfishness and self -worship. Our wants should be those of God.

Do you believe that Satan would present sin as bad? He is more clever than that. He knows that well meaning people will be led to believe that artificial contraception and sterilization are a benefit to society and therefore not sinful.

Scientists playing God! A land where apes have evolved from men! Where will it end? Oh, the humanity.
