• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Somebody say something profound!
:cool:
forgive me,
I have a boring life
:blush:

It doesn't work to say you are of something when you remain separate and put your own judgement above that thing.

It is contradictory to say you are of something when you deny the very sacrament which unites that thing.

That thing is the Apostolic Body of Christ left by Christ to tend the faithful when he left for a time. The symbol that unites it is the Eucharist.

And yes, that is not only in scripture, it is the universal witness of the early Church.

This is otherwise known as the Universal Church.
:idea:
He IS a part of the body of Christ/Catholic church
You are confusing the Roman Catholic denomination with the body of Christ.

I am very unkind, you should hear the things i think and not post
also, a lot of my unkindness is subtle, read the thread about denominations, you might have to squint but i am very unkind to people who are in denominations

You never uttered anything unkind to me.

And just so you know I use that backspace button alot myself (when I get angry). I think most of us do, so your not alone Rham.

Love might not be easily provoked but it doesnt say its beyond being so.

Besides theres gotta be some bridling of the tongue (or, in our case) the keyboard, that our religion be not in vain right? So putting on the breaks starting at our jawline is a start huh? ^_^

But thats what I mean too, your humble, you admit your faults, and unpretentious... cant I notice a good example when I see one? I'm not digging for garbage on ya kiddo and please dont go through my pail its full too ^_^

Enough embarrassinng ya, I didnt mean too :hug:

Okay, enough, eh?

Since we don't know whether you speak for RC or if that's your personal opinion, I mean after all, we hear continous contradiction about separated brethren and all that, I'll just speak to you, but let's not use my opinion, since it wouldn't matter to you. Nor will I use scripture, since we know even the devil uses scripture. But let's use, umm, what would be acceptable? Of what universal witness are you speaking Secudulus?

What would you like to hear? :D

Dunno, but if ya got something good, now's the time ;)
LOL

One thing I want to reiterate because I do love all of you here (even those
who think i'm nuts or cheesy or just hate me because I'm beautiful.. k well)
is that offense is one of the enemy's fav tactics.

You have unforgiveness toward your bro ... or toward an entire group..
BAM.
You're in sin, not walking in the Spirit, unprotected and feeling SHAME

ALL designed to keep you away from God.

ACT LIKE WHO YOU ARE!
:preach:

Yeah that too, but I usually do that when I think fast and I respond to what might be "considered" a flame (to another) or even to "myself" having to constantly remind myself not to respond in kind as the Lord says to (well..."here" at least) ^_^

Well, you know, from hypocrite to in, in the space of a week, hey, praise God today. He is Good News.
Beware the hypocrites! :thumbsup:

http://www.kingdombiblestudies.org/Job/Job.htm

KJV) Job 15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

Matthew 23:15 Woe to ye Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
That ye are going about the sea and the dry to make one proselyte, and whenever he may be becoming, ye are making him a son of geennhV twofold-more of ye-selves
Matt 23:38 Behold! left to ye desolate the House of ye!

Now I know I'm part of the Lord's body ;)

James 3:9-10 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?

Fountain ...
