  • 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.

Did you ever read the book of Acts?

Early Christians knew very well which books were from God.. And the NT writings were traveling around in basically two groups... Jewish and Pauline... (Hebrews was obviously added to the jewish group)... i might i say, history proves they were even in their proper 'dispensational' order prior to the council getting a hold of them, who of course believed the Church age, replaced Israel..

What about the NT writings that were written after the book of Acts? Including at least one Gospel.

Remember this, The Church is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth, Not the Bible.

No Paul . . you are merely repeating someone else's lie I am sure . .for in order for you to be a liar in this regard, you would have to be well enough versed in early Church history to know the truth about this subject and then deliberately misrepresent it.



It thnk you are merely presenting the lies someone else has fed to you . which you think are true



That does not make it any less a lie . . now that you know the truth, I am sure you won't be repeating that one again . . :)




Paul . .

Again . . did I use the word "liar" or "lie" . .

Did I say you were a liar . . ???

Or did I say what you said was a lie . .


Please don't jump to conclusions . .


Peace in Him!

Does it really matter theres? (and yes you did)..... No amount of typing, which you will do now, can erase the impression in the minds of the readers...

You have NO idea what i know, or where i learned it... And saying i speak LIES is the same as called me a liar... period.. I guess at catholic school they leave out the most elementary lesson: "W.W.J.D."

if your goal is truly "for the faith", you would not approach things the way you do......... I don't know YOU or what YOU have gone through, But I’m praying for you theres,,, truly i am,,, don't resort to mid-evil tactics and manipulative mind game,, it's unbecoming of one who professes to be a Christian...

I could be wrong but all I have seen is “pride”.

Paul . . don't put words into my mouth . . People can read . . and I clarified .

I am sorry you found it offensive. One need to be more sure of their facts before ythey go posting them as absolute truth.


You made an uniquivocable statement . . it was totally false . .

The definition of a lie is falsehood . .


Your statement was false . .


I could have said, you are wrong, what you said was false, you misrepresented the truth, or that it as a lie . .

They mean the same thing.



Peace in Him!

f you do not accept the authority of the Church, the kingdom of God, to exercise the charism of infallibility, the ALL truth Jesus promised us through the Holy Spirit, then you have nothing to anchor you . . you are adrift . . you have no plumb line .. only your own imperfect understanding .
those are total lies!!!!!!!

Ye do err, GREATLY, not knowing the scriptures..
hmm Paul . .

I guess what is good for the goose is not good for the gander? (or should I say it the other way around?)


You can accuse me of lies (when we are speaking of a matter of biblical interpretation), but I can't say what you said are lies when we are speaking about hard cold facts of history?


Can someone say hypocrisy? One way street? Etc, etc, etc ??


So, am I a liar Paul? Are you accusing me of being a liar? Is that OK for you to do?


Peace in Him!

I believe they were floating around and "grouped together" prior to 100ad... some say maybe even as early as 90ad..

You'll understand if i do not see an earthly "church" as the pillar and foundation of truth... As it pertains to this earth it's more of an assembly of light, within a kingdom of darkness...

IMHO He did not replace a "system" with a "system"....

Double standard?

I guess when one can't hold their own in a discussion or debate, the best thing to do is resort to personal attacks . .


Very telling . .

Uh . . yes, that would be the one I quoted above, the edited version . . where you said


those are total lies!!!!!!!

What was the point you were trying to make by telling me to go back to it and look?

Again, you can say what I said are lies, but I should not think you are calling me a liar. . . . .

But I can't say what you said is a lie, or I AM calling you a liar?



by the way, if you had such a problem with me saying that what you said was a lie, why did you afterwards say what I said were lies?

Same word . .


Sorry Paul . .


I chose not to be offended by what you said . . I am not the one applying a double standard here . .

Sounds like a good topic for tomorrow! I'll gather what little thoughts i have. ;)
They knew the OT not the NT for it had not been written yet. Cite your sources please.
