How come God has to choose some few good people frm the RCC when he could have used the other true christians from the churches founded by the apostles.

Remember in the time of Elijah God told him that he has saved another 7000  prophets from worshipping baal.

How come God couldn,t save this number  from the churches founded by the apostles .

Can you prove from the gospel of mattew that it was mattew who wrote that gospel

@babyof
You must be enjoying all the attention you are getting on this thread; i read the other poster's comment before i posted mine. You are really burning out your energy owing to your closed-mindedness to what the real issues are; where you ministering love to those who need it you would bring more Pele to Jesus than now.

People who argue especially without objectivity are seldom doers , remember empty barrels make the loudest noise!
To discover the whole truth you must be ready to let reason lead you.

I've been following this thread,I didn't want to comment but let me just say something, @chukwudi,I understand your plight, you can't just up and leave somethign you were born into, it's part of you. But I say this from a neutral standpoint and that of an academic and scholar, history leds ample an when I say ample I mean ample evidence of the disgraceful,shameful and unbiblical conduct of the Roman Catholic Institution and the Papacy.
Funny enough,these evidence are not secret, but you know what the Roman Catholic Institution has gone too far, you guys that are berating her better pray real hard cos I think you guys have lost the battl already.
No one should come asking me to furnish links to such evidence, the roman catholic catechism is evidence enough.

Imagine, Bobbyaf a seven day adventist berating catholics

Sorry to say, but Bobyaf reminds me of the Pharisees in the Bible, who were supposed to draw the flock to God, but instead made it difficult. You act like you know the Word back to front, but actually, you only see what you choose to see. The basic teaching of the Bible, of Jesus Christ Himself, was love. Stop trying to pluck out the speck in someone else's eye. And don't you dare ever say, you don't know which kind of bible I'm reading. Who do you think you are?

GBAM!! It is so simple.

Feed the hungry, care for the sick, love others like u love urself etc . . . That is what it's all about. A toilet worshiper that does these things is more Jesus-like than most people that come here to quote scripture.

Bobbyaf:

Let me ask you a simple question. What do you think about the photos I posted? Do you think that the God you claim to serve is content with the practices and teachings within the Roman Catholic Church? Do you think that such persons are deserving of the truth of Jesus Christ? Are you aware of what Jesus said about the truth?

Jesus said in John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

If you desire freedom you dare not close your eyes to truth, and pretend that all is "lovy dovy" with God.

Jesus once said "eyes they have but cannot see, "

Don't come in YOUR thread? Lol. Bobbyaf, pls feel free to eat your thread. I'll gladly dust off my feet and go my own way cos I'm not gaining anything from your so-called thread. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I wish you the best on YOUR thread.

How is bowing to an idol different from not bowing to an idol?  It doesn't matter who or what u bow to. . . . Love ur neighbor as u do urself and God can't be mad at u. It's that simple. . .

Bobbyaf:

So how do you explain his command not to bow to graven images? So are you saying that God made a mistake when He gave such a command? You sound as if you know more than God!!!

@ No2Atheism, thanks for the heads up, but I have a good relationship with my bible. I just don't trawl through it looking for ways to justify condemning how others choose to serve God. There are fanatics in every religion, and it's the same for Catholics where some go a little too far and make it look like paganism. What ever, I just feel we should focus on our own personal relationship with God because in the end, that's all that matters.

Is the Old Testament only valid when Christians agree with it?

God said a lot of things in the Old Testament that are kinda crazy . . . How do you know which ones to go with?

What Jesus was interested in was building a society with equal/egalitarian commensality. Free of discrimination and hierarchy. . .where people were not marginalized for being women, or having eczema etc. He touched lepers (a big deal in his time. . If u had psoriasis, u were dead as far as society was concerned. .for a charismatic person like Jesus to physically touch you "healed" you from ur ostracization) and ate on the same table with beggars, and people that society frowned on. That was what Jesus was about. His beef was with the Jewish authorities and the way the Jewish code allowed for this type of inhumane treatment of their fellow Jews, especially under foreign occupation. Jesus wasn't interested in such superficial shit as who and what u bowed ur head to, he was interested in creating a more just society in which love was the guiding principle.

When u come here and attack people for stuff that really isn't important. . . puttin all Catholics in a box and accuse them of being everything wrong with Christianity, u make a mockery of everything Jesus was about.

Lady, it's not so nice to write with such temper. We're all christians. Remember proverbs 26:5 says Do not talk to a fool lest he thinks you be like him, yet verse 6 tells you to talk to a fool lest he thinks he's wise. We must act according to wits. This sabbath people all think this way, so It's your job to show them love by answering their questions and revealing to them their wrongs. That's why I told him to tell me about their doctrine so that I pin point their fallacies on-the-fly.

I find it surprising that you are here making noise about idol worshiping in the catholic church. There is no church that they do not do wrong things. What matters most is the true doctrine of the church. In the catholic doctrine, worshiping images is not allowed. People are to bow slightly to images as a sign of respect. This is simply because it's 'roman' catholic. They bow slightly to their leaders or those in authority as a sign of respect. Therefore catholics verenate, not worship. Apart from that if you are a yoruba person you must have seen people even falling down, kissing the feet and so on and so forth. You are not a judge neither are you in the mind of the doer. The immaculate mother deserves respect not only because she is the mother of God, but because she fights against the devil, "The woman shall crush the head of the serpent.", another one says"And the dragon chased her to devour her, but God gave her wings". Now it's my turn. Let me ask you something. Tell me about the doctrine of your church and I will tell you ten stupid things your doctrine has. If you can give a valid defense. You win.
