  • 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

The Church is made of with the pure of heart from all denominations who are earnestly trying to follow Christ and his example studying the Bible and spreading the Gospel and love.

The false Churches are any and Churches that say they are the true Chruch.

The History of Christ and the apostles keeping the Jewish Holidays is inmany places in the Bible.

The history of Christs people perishing is because of willing lack of knowlege. aqnd Bilindly folllowing man
made doctrines.

The History of the true Church is that is known to few.
Because most are blinded by pride.

The future of the true Church is the Gospel"GOOD NEWS"
of the 1000 year reign when all the false prophets are alying in the grave not confusing the people any more.
while they wait for the 2nd resurrection and judgement the confused pure of heart will be confused no more.

Are you a member of the true Church?
You know that there was a time that the Bible did not exist and the only thing that the Church had was her Traditions: out of this came the Bible. The Bible is not the revelation of divine truth, that is reserved alone for Jesus Christ. Both Tradition and scripture come from the Holy Spirit who it is said would teach us all things, "The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name - he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you. (Jn 14.26)"
We are also told in 2 Thess. 2.15 that we must hold to what we have read from the apostles or the things that they have passed onto us orally, "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." And in 1 Tim. 2.15 Paul admits that the Church is the pillar of Truth, "But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth." So the Bible is not the sole conveyor of truth God alone is who has revealed that truth to the Church which she passes down from age to age. Who has, as its inspired authorities that testify to the Revelation of Jesus Christ to man, both Scripture and Tradition which both equally flow from the fount of the Holy Spirit, bear testimony to each other, and clarify each other when one becomes difficult to understand.

Et ego dico tibi: Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam; et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam. Tibi dabo claves regni caelorum; et quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum in caelis, et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit solutum in caelis ”. (Matt. 16.18,19)

but he was simply right.

the church's traditions, as Jesus said plainly and with authority, are used to ursurp the Word of G_d.
the church's traditions have absolutely no authority with G_d, and no power to set you or anyone else free from sin and death.

The Word of G_d , alive and written, can set you free only if you fully trust in G_d and follow Him, forsaking all others opposed to Him.

that's why so few follow Him. they love family or job or house or things or church or self more than they love truth, so G_d gives them up to what they love and they never learn the truth.

Are the declarations from the council of Nicea in error then?

Who was right then? Arius or the the council of Nicea?

i dont know about this bit. does every one else agree with it?

No, not at all . . . people who don't know enough about Church history to be able to intelligently discuss it often say such things .. . .

It's easy to buy into . . but so was satan's deception to Even in the Garden of Eden . . .


One needs a very good grasp of Church history to be able to see through such devices ...

relies on more than one source to verify the facts.

Such a simple statement should easily be accepted by anyone with more common sense than blind loyalty.

What's there to "see through"?

Jesus himself taught us to check tradition against the scriptures.

Mark 7: 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject F25 the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

And? Just what "one source" are you referring to? :scratch:

What "blind loyalty" are you referring to exactly? :scratch:



What's there to "see through"?

The deceptive devices of the enemy used to keep people blinded to the truth. :)

Jesus himself taught us to check tradition against the scriptures.

Mark 7: 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject F25 the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


And? Jesus was speaking of a particular type of tradition . . . the traditions of men . . :)

He wasn't speaking of ALL traditions, for there is also SACRED Tradition, which Jesus UPHELD and APPEALED TO as AUTHORITATIVE!

Bet you didn't know that :wink:

And Paul tells us also about Sacred Tradition, for he tells us to
2 Thessalonians 2:15
Stand fast and hold to the TRADITIONS you have been taught, whether by word (spoken) or by our epistle (written).
TWO TRADITIONS we are to hold to . . SPOKEN and written, clearly commanded in scripture!


It is a grave error to lump all "tradition" as "traditions of men" . . . this is an error fundamentalists fall into all the time . .. it skews their understanding to the point of rejecting the command of scripture to STAND FAST AND HOLD to the TRADITIONS Christians were taught by the Apostles. . whether by spoken word, or in writing (writings which became our New Testament).
