It's ok to say that you are a proud Catholic but very wrong, self deceiving and ignorant to claim that Christ is the founder of Roman Catholic and going further to mention Peter as a pope. Where did you get that from?
The bible in clear terms spelt it in black and white that Peter never preached in Rome (Gentiles ) rather he was charged with the Jews and then Paul with d gentiles. Gal. 2:7-8. The last I checked your popes do not marry but healing the
mother of Peter's wife is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, namely in Matthew 8:14–15, Mark 1:29–31, and Luke 4:38–41.
Did your popes stopped marrying after Peter died cos he died a married man?.
Which Jesus if I may ask founded RC? The same the Roman empires killed? May be you should update urself with the history of ur church here is a few: The Roman Emperor Constantine established himself as the head of the church (Roman Catholic )around 313 A.D., which made this new "Christianity" the official religion of the Roman Empire. The first actual Pope in Rome was probably Leo I (440-461 A.D.), although some claim that Gregory I was the first (590-604 A.D.). This ungodly system eventually ushered in the darkest period of history known to man, properly known as the "Dark Ages" (500-1500 A.D.). Through popes, bishops, and priests, Satan ruled Europe, and Biblical Christianity became illegal.

Elisha prayed in ii Kings 2:14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. God names are specific, each with a specific function (the same God, mind you), God of Elijah for example is a God that answers by fire, i can go on and on, but these are not milk, they are solid foods not for spiritual babes and sucklings. I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.

It doesn't matter the church you attend, be it Catholic, Anglican, pentecostal, jw, c&s e.t.c, the only thing that matters is that we believe in the same God. Is not about the church you attend but are you doing the seven corporal works of mercy.
Feed the hungry.
Give drink to the thirsty.
Harbor the harborless
Clothe the naked.
Visit the sick.
Visit the prisoner and
Bury the dead.

If you're not doing any of the above, you're just a Christian but not a follower of Christ.

NL which one is unclad again ni, stop changing my words. Kikikiki

Yes u are right to say that there was no name attached to the church ,cos there was no need for that.
We had just one church scattered all over the world but they were all under the apostles with the leader been st Peter .the need to name the church arose when Martin Luther king n king Henry the viii created the Lutheran n Anglican churches respectively.Thus the name Catholic (universal)was coined out as the name of that original church.
Where was Peter made the head of the church? The original church you are talking of is definitely not the Catholic church because it's not in the Bible

Religion is said to be beliefs people have in God or deities. In the world, Nigerian churches are force to reckon on religious matters.

Churches in Nigeria and their founders have, through deliverance services, evangelism, sermons, out reaches and crusades, brought liberations and solutions to many across the world. This some have adjudged to have aided the Nigerian economy.

Newsmath examines some churches in Nigeria and their founders.

These are list of some churches and their Founders. It also contains the year of establishment, founder and the current general Overseer.


1. Christ Apostolic Church


Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) is the first Aladura Pentecostal church present in Nigeria and other countries. It has come into existence in the first half of the 20th century, in the then-British empire. It was formally established in 1941 after a split from the Apostolic Church which the original Aladura organization (Faith Tabernacle) had invited to Nigeria. Its growth was led by Joseph Ayo Babalola, a road construction driver who became its founder.

♦ Born : April 25, 1904
Odo-Owa, Oke-Afa LGA Kwara State, Nigeria

♦ Died :July 26, 1959 (aged 55)
Ede, Osun State, southwestern, Nigeria


do your research very well, OP, Babalola isn't the founder of CAC. He also joined them. Do a thorough research

See how u have bi n brain washed
Simple meaning u can't understand "Peter u are the rock n upon this rock I will build my church".
This was not a parable nor any figurative word it was literally spoken,cos the bible tells us that from that day Peter became the head of the apostles.
For ur info the apostles were the first members of the church.To show further that he made Peter the head Christ when he was about to suffer n die asked Peter do u love me Peter said yes then Christ said" if u love me feed my sheep n take care of my flock"

Lie No.1! Jesus Never said, "Peter you are the rock" as you deceitfully misquote scripture. He said, " You are Peter..." meaning: piece of a rock. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, not English. So go and do your Study. Peter was definitely a very senior apostle, evangelist and a great inspiration to the early church; but not the Pastor of the early church. Don't fool yourself.

Lie No 2! The New testament church did not begin until Pentecost when all 120 disciples ( not just the apostles) were born again, filled with the Spirit and therefore became the first members.
You are the one who has been brainwashed.

The List is incomplete without MESSIAH'S CHURCH (Revelation Ministry).

Founded by Prophet Dr. Felix Ogbo Nkama in the Year: 1971.
this is one of the oldest indigenous churches founded in Nigeria.
This brief history of the church as captured in several National Dailies back held: Prophet Dr. Felix Ogbo who hail from Kpoghirikpo, Afikpo currently in Ebony state Whom God manifested Great miracle by raising the dead Rosalyn Eze at Uduma Ohafia in Aninnri, Enugu state.

Late Prophet Dr. Felix O. Nkama, died in 2013 at Age 82. He was never a noise maker but was sought-after by many beyond Nigeria. He was a rare philanthropist and a seasoned Human Right activist.

Messiah's Church is one of the oldest Churches founded in Nigeria, Churched Presided by Bishop Rayvic Ifeanyi (The World youngest Bishop).

matt 16:16-19 Jesus gave peter the keys of the kingdom, if u read Is 22:22 u'll see that d keys are distinguishing marks of the prime minister, whoever is given keys in d davidic kingdom is also given an office. by that single act Jesus made peter leader of the church. in jn 21:15-17 we see that Jesus gave him particularly d ministry of taking care of d church before he went to heaven. there is no church dat predate the catholic church.

His successor don't marry because after many yrs of having married clergy the church finaly agreed with paul who taught that it was better to b unmarried to be devoted to Jesus, and with Christ who taught dat many wil b celibate for d sake of d kingdom.

But Catholics are now deviating from d teachings of Christ n practising pagans style of worship, idolizing every part of their worship do u think Jesus is happy with that? God said whatever we should ask in Jesus name, but Catholics ask through Mary, saint this n dat, they even made images of adorations. They always say pray for us, does it mean they can't pray themselves except they ask saint this and that to pray for them.God forgive me I am not judging them its just an observation.Isiah 42:8.

Do you ask pple to pray for you? Why do you ask them to pray for you when you can pray for yourself
Catholics don't practice pagan style of worship, yes we have relics and photos of Jesus, Mary. Saints like Saint Peter and all but these are just to keep them in our hearts, to remind us of them, do you keep photos of family friends and loved ones, why do you keep their photos How do you feel when you see these photos esp. if you have been away from them for a long time. Myself for instance have been away from my family for 3 years, anytime I miss them dearly I look at their photos, sometimes it makes me smile sometimes it makes me cry, I even kiss their photos. Does that mean I worship them?
That's the feeling we get when we look at these photos of Jesus, Mary and the saints,a feeling of love and affection. Also, remember Jesus 1st miracle in the wedding, he was not supposed to do that miracle cos he even said yo his mother Mary " my time has not yet come" but cos of the respect he has for her he did it. So when we ask Mary to pray for us,it's cos we know that Jesus listens to his mother, even we as humans, we know there are times we don't want to do something but we still go ahead and do it just cos of our mothers. Again, how would you feel if someone claims to love and respect you but does not respect your mother Remember, as Christians we are in a relationship with Christ, married to him as we like to say, how would you be married to someone and not get to know the person's mother and also give her the due respect, even Angel Gabriel honoured and respected her, when he came to give her news about the birth of Jesus, he said "hail, Mary, full of grace. The lord us with you" , no other person in the bible was greeted this way by an Angel and Elizabeth filled and prompted by the Holy Spirit said to her " you are blessed amongst all women". If God can prompt pple to honour her. Then why shouldn't we
