  • 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.

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    You are correct in that we are to spend quality time with God on the Sabbath. God says keep holy the Sabbath, not necessarily get together on the seventh day. We see this clearly in scripture because God made Sabbaths on other days. If it is to be kept holy, does that only mean for us to...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    We cannot agree to disagree, because you are ignoring the ordinances of the Lord. You don’t have to answer to me, as I am not God, but you say you do what God says and then not do it at the same time. Are only half of God’s words worth the listening? Numbers 28: 1-10 describes what happens...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    You are misquoting me. I did not say that what you are doing is a sin, merely that the Sabbath is more than fellowship and eating. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a priest forever in the order of Melchisedech. He offers His body and blood as sacrifice, and we celebrate it in the form of bread and...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    If it would take away my sin, I would, but since that would not be effective in removing my sin, it would be an absurd act. Christ was speaking in hyperbole. Denying myself, taking up my cross and following the Lord wherever He leads, that I can do, along with repentance and mortifying the...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    Leviticus 16:31 teaches us that the Sabbath is a day of rest where we afflict our souls as a perpetual religion Do SDA teach that we need to afflict our souls? I thought SDA teach against penance? Leviticus 23 Teaches us that the Sabbath can be on any day of the week which God says it can...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    Yes there is one sacrifice, Jesus Christ, and He is present body and blood soul and divinity in the form of bread and wine. A fact confirmed by scripture which you deny. Imagining your sins are forgiven while trampling under foot the blood of Christ does not make sense to me, nor is it...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    The words do this in remembrance of me, carry with it a perpetual remembering. We are told blessed are the poor in spirit, and blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness We are not told to take a presumptuous attitude toward our redemption but strive to make our calling and...

    Sabbath Keeping and The Gospel

    Sounds reasonable, but without sacrifice, there is no Sabbath. The Sabbath was given so the people could rest from their labors and be in the presence of God. To be prepared to be in the presence of God, the people must be penitent and covered with the blood of sacrifice. If the Jews would...

    I have a question and I’m confused

    I agree with those scriptures and so does Catholic teaching. We affirm that souls are not saved by Catholic teaching alone. We are saved by the grace of God and the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ which is the demonstration of that grace. Catholic teaching exist to strengthen and comfort the...

    I have a question and I’m confused

    Wow Bob, your quotation of scriptures portray a very Catholic view of soteriology. We are indeed saved by grace which is undeserved and cannot be earned. However, those that have received grace will walk in good works, as Jesus says if you love me, keep my commandments Salvation is not earned...

    What this one guy said bothered me

    Satan’s greatest deception is to convince the world that he does not exist. Unbelievers are given strong delusion because they love not the truth and are given a lie to believe. Do not let their taunts trouble you. Satan’s kingdom is real, and it is the truly naive that say it does not...

    THE GREAT CONTROVERSY in Baltimore, Maryland

    That was an excellent post Liturgist. Even though it used AI it appears well thought out It is my sincere belief that our SDA friends sincerely desire to honor and worship God, but their point of view is narrowed because someone has told them that they will follow Satan if they doubt what they...

    REILLY's CCCVI - the Bard's Residence

    God does love you. Using and mental health issues are spiritually dangerous because that is when Satan sends his demons to go in and tell you to give up, you are too far gone, no hope for you. Those are lie. God does love you, and you need to pray for perseverance through the doubt, which you...

    Teilhard de Chardin’s Ideas Find Resonance Inside the Vatican 70 Years After His Death

    You are incorrect. It is true that Thomas Aquinas lived and wrote before Darwin’s Origin of species was written, but evolutionary thought was talked about from ancient times It was discarded by philosophers because it literally makes no sense. It violates so many basic first principles as to...

    Beware of Catholic AI

    I have found YouTube videos that appear real but are stating questionable things. Like bishop Barren giving a talk saying priests can be married and the celibacy rule is lifted If we rely on AI or YouTube videos alone, we can be deceived. I always check the Vatican news to see what the...
