  • 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.

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 ...

Hey think James says this ought not be for other reasons

Psalm 109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

Though that one in particular appears to be speaking of Judas if you follow it through (whose bowels gushed out) in Acts)

Given (as Jesus says) the tongue itself defileth the body, think what comes out of the mouth invites incoming?

I know I put that weirdly ^_^

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:

:blush:
(note to self)

I completely missed this post as it was the last on the page ^_^

You never fail to put a smile on my face, I love your cheesy little self ^_^

quote=tadoflamb;The Catholic Church isn't a denomination, it's the Church established by Jesus Christ.
Yeah, that's the opinion we don't share.

Personally, I can't really draw a comparison between that and the individual who has a singular, and individual belief system, as seems to be the trend in modern western Christianity.
We were sorta thinkin' that belief system started in the first century right alongside the one we consider scriptural.
What to do? (wringing hands)

Why do Roman Catholics talk about their church all the time ? (OP) .

I for one don't , but it's a fair question .

Many Catholics are obsessed with navel gazing .
They take the Church , the Body of Christ , to be just the members . They forget the Head , our Lord and Saviour , Jesus Christ .

Focus on the Head .

Catholicism is not a denom. but Roman Catholicism is and needs be.

Our carnal nature always tries to draw us away from it though

Why no Roman Catholic cross icon, new guy Rawson?

Hurry before the door is locked!! :thumbsup:

Matt 25:10 Of coming away yet of them to purchase, came the Bridegroom and the prepared ones entered with Him into the marriage-festivities, and is locked the door.
11 Subsequently yet are coming also the rest of the virgins saying "Lord! Lord! open Thou! to us"
[Exodus 12:29/Reve 15:8]

Reve 15:8 And is being-replete the Sanctuary of smoke out of the Glory of the God, and out of the power of Him. And no one was able to be entering into the Sanctuary until should be being finished the seven blows/stripes of the seven Messengers.
[Genesis 7:16/Matt 7:21/Matt 25:10]

Talk about their church all the time?




Evangelicals talk about Christ all the time. Quite a difference.

Go to Catholic.com sometime and go to the "evangelization" forum. Notice that there is not one thread there about evangelism, but all are about how to get somebody to join the Catholic Church.

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?

The early Apostolic Church that recorded what the Apostles taught them.
