ijawkid:and yet d angels are simply my ministers, my servants, amen. If they know then the saints in heaven know. Lol.....sorry to burst your buBbles,but marychain of woship? Wow, i gat so such chain, i worship God and him alone, as for prayers every xtian both on earth and in heaven are on d chain of prayers. For you to create this chain:::: mary»Jesus»God. , then there many xtian can interceed whether ur pastor or mary, but how would u know wen ur hypocrisy has blinded u. The last time I checked you bowed before her image and rendered words of devotion to her.......na because I never come use cane flog your yansh when you dey bow down to her image na him make abi??.....d last time i checked not all bowing is worship and joshua did d same b4 d ark and God didnt strike him dead. You guys have put mary high on a pedestal that is false........really, d bible says "from henceforth all ages will call me blessed". Wow, it seems d handmaid of d lord knows her worth. And d pedestal was set in d bible. It wasn't written so you had to instigate it right??.....another arguement from silience, a logical fallacy, so because "peter died" isnt in ur bible does that mean peter didnt die? |

Very funny how religious bigotry try to castigate Catholics. Now as a member of the Humanity order that i am i have to say this to all of you Christians that you all should be ashamed of your self for one reason you all claim to worship one God and at the end of the day you hate your selves and also lie to yourselves while trying to defend a religion that you know nothing of it existence only to be told by your parent about it. Redeemers does the picture of Adeboye that you put in your car and homes saves you from accident and Misfortunes in your homes SCOAN Does the Picture of TB Joshua and also all the materials you sell in your churches including your water you sell for 5k per bottle does it make you people better than the Catholics Love World (CEC) So you people want to tell me that Oyakilome always intercede for you guys when you put his pictures in your houses and also carry a little picture of him Lord Chosen's: So your Vest is now a bullet proof that you wear to avoid kidnapping and all sort of dangers in life. Celestial: So all the things you people do are not dilatory You see all of you are just deceiving yourselves and trying to defend your Pastors or priest and you sect when you can not even defend your father and mother that gave birth to you. Humanity to me will always remain the best form of religion and the best way to communicate with God. Treat others as you will want to be treated. As for the images in churches all Christians are guilty of this. You see a redeemer telling you the God of Adeboye is your own God different from his. Christ Embassy member will say My pastor said cant you read the bible your self. |

SlyIg: These children will not allow me to rest o. Hahahahahahahahaha...My dear your not making sense at all!! : (1) The picture u see around as Jesus is the picture of the guy that acted Jesus a film that u and I know..... (2) Stop comparing the house of GOD with dat of your father or mother. Think deeply with your brain, and pray for God's guidance. Stop being brainwashed!!!! |

Ubenedictus: ofcuz paul ask his fellow xtians to pray 4 him, abi no b so? Fellow Christians who are alive. They did not ask a dead body to pray for them. They should have asked Stephen to pray for them since he died before them. Abi they no remember him again? 1 Like |

ijawkid:so fellow christian>>JESUS>>GOD or paul>>JESUS>>GOD is ok but u have problem wit mary>JESUS>GOD abi? Hypocrisy! For you to suggest that pauls request included the dead faithfuls to also pray for him is fallacious......to God all are alive!! Besides marÝ must have been alive then too,why didn't he(paul) just go pray th®ough her.....??stupid arguement, are u ok? Did anyone say it is a must that intercession must be thru mary? U are argueing against urself. |

ijawkid:hahaha, God loves d image of a cherubim and hates that of christ. I don't have to find any where in the bible that says ""thou shall not use beads in worship"".....hahaha, so buddha and d pope planned it abi? Hahaha. |

Ubenedictus: so fellow christian>>JESUS>>GOD or paul>>JESUS>>GOD is ok but u have problem wit mary>JESUS>GOD abi? Hypocrisy! No make me call you mumu o...... Early christians prayed with each other,...they didn't direct prayers through a particular earthly individual.......only Jesus has the sole responsibility of conveying our prayers to GOD.... Paul and all early christians never prayed through any individual except Jesus....you guys are doing exactly the opposite with mary..... You guys pray through mary,hoping she will carry your prayers to God..... Ubenedictus: Yes they are alive in Gods memory..they in the literal sense become alive when they are ressurected..... That is why the word ""ressurection"" exists... Ubenedictus: Your creeds have made it a must for all catholics.... Can any catholic let a day pass without praying through mary and bowing before her image??.... 1 Like |

Ubenedictus: hahaha, God loves d image of a cherubim and hates that of christ.God gave the isrealites those specific commands for a reason....God is the almighty.... The ark of covenant had its use in the temple.....that temple is no more....Jesus' death ended it...... If God did not command that his sons image be carved and used ,why do it??.... That's my problem.....when it comes to worship,wait for Gods commands and not yours..... God who wants worship will always tell us how we should worship Him,and not how we wanna.... When we choose how we should worship God,that would be presumptuousness.... Neither Yahweh nor Jesus commanded you make the mouldings of the cross,mary,and Jesus and bow down to them or use them in worship.... Ubenedictus: Yes na...you been no know??..... The pope hijacked the use of beads in worship from pagans .....it was planned and devoid of any scriptural backing...... 1 Like |

does this mean I should be able to slap a statue of Jesus and feel no remorse. this is a question of symbolism, if venerating the symbol/image is evil then showing disdain to it cannot also be evil. |

Ubenedictus: hahaha, God loves d image of a cherubim and hates that of christ. He gave His commands and it was built to specification. Wait for His commands. Besides the image you are calling Jesus is not Jesus and not His specification. This make the image of whoever you are bowing to an idol. 1 Like |

Ubenedictus: and yet d angels are simply my ministers, my servants, amen. If they know then the saints in heaven know.Talk true....I just showed you why the angels can be aware when a sinner repents...... They are powerful as well and many... I reiterate::::mary has no ability or was giving the responsibility to listen and convey the prayers of 1 billion catholics..... Ubenedictus:Christians pray with each other ....I don't pray through any pastor....my mouth never paralyze neither am I dumb..... Christians are to pray through only Christ... That is why he is the mediator.....there is only one mediator,and not many mediators..... Ubenedictus:God didn't tell angel gabriel to tell mary that her image would be moulded and then bowed down to because she was to give birth to Jesus....angel gabriel never told mary that she would be a medium through which we can get to God...... The bible never put mary high on the pedestal you guys have put her...I'll repeat that over and over again... Ubenedictus: Your analogies are most times never coherent or in line with the discussion.. It is a must that all humans will die,but is it a must or a fact that images of great persons or faithful servants would be moulded and bowed to??.....if that is the case the image of abraham,isaac and all faithful partriaÇhs would have filled the temple back then.... Death is inevitable but idolatry can be shunned.... Got that?? The scriptures never mentions any christian using images of mary and the cross or rosary in worship because it never was practiced........ 1 Like |

Ubenedictus: thank God u know u gat no religious significance, christ does. My picture has no religious significance. The "picture", portrait, sculpture of Christ, Mary, Saints, etc also have no religious significance - only those dabbling into idolatory would think they do. |

If you can have gay priests why cant you have pictures and carvings of God. Its a progressive religion - I tell you. When Jesus returns he will have diffulties identifying cherches and christians. |

nagoma: If you can have gay priests why cant you have pictures and carvings of God. Its a progressive religion - I tell you. When Jesus returns he will have diffulties identifying cherches and christians. Gay priests are as wrong as the use of images in worship. Also wrong is suicide bombing and killing people over movies, images, cartoons of a dead prophet or the reverence of a meteorite. |

lacum: oya penticostals tell me dis is not tru 1) Why would anyone do that? Unnecessary, but i assume those who do have no where to place the Bible at the time. Otherwise, put the Bible somewhere and then bow your head and pray to God. The Bible is made of paper and has no magical powers - it's the message therein that has the power to transform lives. 2) Why would anyone do that? U pray in a respectful pose to God. Prayer is to God, not a human nor an image. 3) Nothing wrong in prostrating to living people in a respectful greeting. It's foolish and idolatry to do so to a lifeless image - the lifeless image is not Christ, nor does it represent Christ. Christ is not lifeless. |
