i.chuka:

Dude,the Holy Bible is more than enough for Christains.infact one/two verses from the bible is enough to last a Christain a life time.

seriallink:
You are one of those that are guilty of this, I'm sure! Do I have to do the search for you?? I don't have the time, do it yourself brah! This thread isn't about that like I stated above!

Brah, abeg no carry your beaf somewhere come infest my thread o!

Stop trolling!

italo:

The Catholic Church existed before the Bible and created it.

So you don't go to the Bible for the history of The Catholic Church, rather, you go to the Catholic Church for the history of the Bible.



The Holy Bible wasn't enough for the early Christians, infact it didn't even exist then... And it surely wasn't enough for St. Paul who said in 2Thess 2:15: "So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter."

But apparently, you know better than St. Paul.

italo:

At least own up to your LIE if you cannot provide ONE single quote of where a Catholic said "other churches are hell bound."

I don't think I'm asking for too much by saying "prove your LIE."

seriallink:

Really? Do I have to prove that to you? Both online and offline Catholic debaters have always said that! Whether you like it or not, it stands that way.

You think Nairaland is the only place I have engaged Catholics in debates? Smh for you! I have lived in a Country where almost 85% of its population are Catholics. I have Catholic friends and they've always crictized and condemned other Christians! They always resort to that verse as proof that their Church is the only true Church!

holyvirgin:

I gave a you a search clue, does that make it an evidence? Smh. And like I said before, if you do not have anything reasonable to contribute, just get the fúck off my thread!

Everyone on this section knows you are a disingenuous debater. I do not have the time search and bring out your comments because it isn't why I created the thread!

So, get off my thread and stop trolling!

I have gone through your previous posts too and I can tell you are possessed by a legion of demons!

Mr. Holy demon, better change your ways before it's too late!

striktlymi:

Good morning,
I believe u have some misconceptions about the quotations you made. Firstly, the quotations really do not prove that there existed a "church" or "some churches" before the catholic church. Secondly, the use of the word "church" actually refers to the community of God's people under christ.

Before Christ left this world, he gave his apostles an order to go forth into the world and spread the good news. This the apostles did with vigour after the out pouring of the promised paraclete (the Holy spirit). Everywhere the Apostles went, they managed to win converts for Christ. These converts made up pockets of communities in their various localities. At this time there was no official name given to this growing community. However, at Antioch the community of God's people were first tagged "Christians" by those who were not even believers beccause of the way they lived their lives. i.e they were "Christ-like".

The name "Christian" was not really popular with the believers of the time, hence the use of the word "church" to refer to these communities. It was necessary for the apostles to keep in contact with these respective communities via their letters in order to encourage them and give them directions since they could not be present with them physically because they had to continue with the work of spreading the gospel.

One basic fact about the "churches" then was that though they existed in different locations, they were still one under Christ, as Paul was quick to reproach those who wanted to create division by saying they belonged to Paul or Apolos. He made them understand that the community was one under Christ. Another proof of the unity of the "church" then was the disagreement that came up within one of such communities. Paul taught that the "gentiles" do not need to be circumsized before joining the community of God's people. This was vehemently refused by some believers of Jewish descent. The disagreement was settled at the "council of Jerusalem". The Apostles came together in prayer and deliberations to decide the fate of one of such "churches" and the whole of Christendom as regards this matter.

The first written record of the use of the word "catholic" which means "Universal" was made by a bishop, St Ignatius of Antioch in the year A.D. 107. St. Ignatius of Antioch in the Near East, was arrested, brought to Rome by armed guards and eventually martyred there in the arena. In a farewell letter which this early bishop and martyr wrote to his fellow Christians in Smyrna (today Izmir in modern Turkey). He wrote, "Where the bishop is present, there is the Catholic Church". Thus, the second century of Christianity had scarcely begun when the name of the Catholic Church was already in use, thereafter, mention of the name became more and more frequent in the written records.

holyvirgin:
he is catholic, and d thread was 4 catholics to address a topic so why are u asking hm to leave? So u dn't have time to search for something u claimed to knw. Next time dn't start a useless thread without facts to back it up.

i.chuka:


Dude,the Holy Bible is more than enough for Christains.infact one/two verses from the bible is enough to last a Christain a life time.
Moreover your Evolution theory is not part of Christainity.
For God Changeth not,He is the same yesterday,2day and forever.

holyvirgin:
olodo, i knw your bible teaches u that a demon could be holy since u chose 2 address me as such. No demon is holy u lunatic! I don't insult people, i only say d truth. My word is enof 4 u and take it if u love wisdom.
Men i am loving d turn of events on this thread.... Hahahahahaha

seriallink:

What is the thread all about again? Better go back and read my op before you start making clueless comments. The first guy that commented on this thread gave me a good explanation. I asked a honest question; all I needed was a sincere answer not insults! Since you started commenting on this thread have you made any meaningful contribution other than insults?

So, I do not have the right to create a thread about Catholics because some of you bigoted Catholic pharisees hate me? And for the accusations you claimed I made, did I mentioned your name on it or are you the only Catholics I have ever engaged in debates online?

I do not need comments from hypocrites like you on this.

So, get off!

seriallink:

The bolded makes you look more fōolish than I thought!

What is frustrating you mayne?

holyvirgin:
go tell that to anybody who doesn't know u, listen to urself and d name calling and tel me who has hate written allover him. Nope i knew ur intentiöns 4 starting this thread and i tell u its not a sincere and honest one as u claim so i refused to contribute. Thrashing u is my aim and i have succeedd cos your responses was exactly as expected.

truthislight:
so to you there was no church befor the word "catholic was coin abi?

seriallink: ^^^ Get off my thread hater!!!

Your gibberish is not acceptable here

holyvirgin:
no those are not insults, they are meant to bring senses into ur daft skull.
The last time i checked protestants have always been the frustrated ones thus d name 'protestants' and you are just one of them. I repeat next time start a reasonable thread.

holyvirgin:
the truth is bitter you fat ar.ssed nigga.
@serialkiller, frustration is 4 ppl without a job, get one. Lmao, mission accomplished i am outta here.

seriallink: ^^^ Get off my thread hater!!!

Your gibberish is not acceptable here

truthislight:

so to you there was no church befor the word "catholic was coin abi?

Did you see your life?

Will you read that ^^^ contradiction and contraption/and lies again and see what have just happened to you?

Are you aware that liars will not inherit God's kingdom?

While you are on that, can you please tell me those that apostle paul sent his epistle to?

He died in the 1ce.

Oh, let me guess, he sent it to those "that are not even qualified to be called christians"

Why then will he want people "that are not even qualify to be called christians" to walk in the way of christ?

Hmmm!

When "certain people" start, why can they continue to the end without lying?

striktlymi:

Good mornng to u too sir,

I understand the point you are trying to make but really, if we are to follow that line of thought then it would imply that the bible as we have it won't be valid today. First, when Christ was on earth there was nothing like the new testament, all we had was the old. Note also that Christ never commanded anyone to write a book when he was on earth. Also Christ never referred to his people as "Christians" does it mean that the use of it is wrong?

The community of believers continues to evolve from age to age as the spirit continues to guide, guard and inspire them. There are a lot of things that were revealed to the apostles which made it's way into sacred scripture but cannot be found in the old testament. Not everything is in the bible. There are records of other things done by the early Christians that did not make it's way to the bible. I believe I made reference of a second Century Christan (an early Christian)who used the word Catholic.

The questions I believe u should ponder on are:

1) Did God's spirit stopped inspiring his people after the Apostles?

2) Did the church founded by Christ go extinct after the death of the Apostles?

3) How did Christianity make its way to our present day?

4) Was there a broken line of succession in the leadership of the Church?

5) When Christ commanded Peter to feed and take care of his flock, did he intend it to end with Peter, knowing full well that the flock would last to this very day?

Thank you!
