• 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.

Those who take pleasure in kicking "The Rock", have never learned that all they will ever accomplish is to hurt their own foot. They never learned either, that those who are ignorant of history are prone to repeat its mistakes.

Da mihi sis bubulae frustrum assae, solana tuberosa in modo Gallico fricta, ac quassum lactatum coagulatum crassum.

(Give me a hamburger, french fries, and a thick shake.)
Perfect. I got the kicker though.

Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?


How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Depends on what "wood" the wood chuck is chucking :D

Genesis 22:9 And they come in unto the place of which 'Elohiym hath spoken to him, and there Abraham buildeth the altar, and arrangeth the wood/06086 `ets, and bindeth Yitschaq his son, and placeth him upon the altar above the wood/06086 `ets;
10 and Abraham putteth forth his hand, and taketh the knife--to slaughter his son.

Acts 13:29 and when they did finish/etelesan <5055> all the things written about Him, having taken down from the wood/xulou<3586>, they laid Him in a tomb;

Reve 2:7 The one having an ear let him hear! what the Spirit is saying to the Assemblies. To the one conquering, I shall be giving to him to be eating out of the wood/xulou<3586> of the life which is in the Paradise of the God

Martin Luther to Pope Leo X, January 6, 1519
more than a year after the Ninety-Five Theses


That was before Augsburg, and while Luther still had a bit of a Roman hangover and had not come to the full recognition of Rome and the pope that is contained in the Smalcald Articles and Augsburg Confession.

Those who take pleasure in kicking "The Rock", have never learned that all they will ever accomplish is to hurt their own foot.



And that Rock is Christ, not the Roman pope, which Luther clearly states is antithetical to the Christian faith.

"If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches in the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church which is hated by the world, as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church which is accused of being behind the times, as Our Lord was accused of being ignorant and of never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of GOD as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to GOD. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself The Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusion of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly, it is other-worldly. Since it is other-worldly it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore the Church is Divine."
Fulton J. Sheen D.D



Denominations try to justify their existence by calumnizing the Church which Jesus Christ founded. It was part of the plan of the reformers. If you break from the Church of truth, what justification can you possibly show for doing so? There can be only one truth, so the only other recourse is to try to show error. If the proofs of error are not to be found, then invent some. Thus the invention becomes a lie.
