• 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.

Sola scriptura?

the authority in Matthew is what gave the church some vestige of authority and what authority it has is dependent on how close it holds to the Scripture

So the Scripture in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus should read: "Abraham told the rich man that they [his brothers] have Moses, the Prophets, The Apocrypha, and Jewish tradition, and if they won't believe those things, even someone coming back from the dead won't convince them [not to come to the horrible place where you are]"

Perhaps John 3:16 should read, "The Scriptures plus the Apocrypha, and Church tradition is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except by them."
