So since communion is Jesus-God's' "body", I will bow to it, lie prostrate before it and adore it.

I can't believe a 36year old is asking me to show him where the Bible said "you can bow to Jesus' body". No wonder you left the Catholic Church. With these level of reasoning its obvious you never knew a thing in the Church.

But I will still show you the Bible references if you show me where the Bible said "don't bow to Jesus-God's body.

Guy I leave you to your fate! Idolatry is celebrated in your church! There is no point arguing with someone who knew not but knew not that he knew not! I rest my case!

@Johnnie ZM,

Is that the easy way to run away from the discussion? I thought you were the one that invited me to take you on on any topic, that you were ready for me. Now that I've shown you that communion is Jesus-God's body and I can bow to it, you bail out with your tail between your legs.

Sometimes I wonder, in your so-called 21yrs in the Catholic Church, did you worship any image? If so tell us which image. Tell us what you said to the image. Did you worship Mary, Peter, Paul and all the other saints? What did you say to them? Who told you to worship them? Your priest, catechist or your parents? Or did you just worship them because everything you were taught by all of them never stayed in your brain, hence your doing the exact opposite of what you were taught?

a lot of people say things that they dont know. If you read the books on the religions of babylon u wuld see a lot on what catholics practice like the mother and child worship. Let me ask this, do you know that The Pope is the priest of Horus

Lmao. Mister man, go and wash ur clothes if you have nothing meaninful to say!

Donami I have tried so hard to show him the way but he just refuse to walk in the way! Please tell him if he would listen to you.

Guy open your eyes and see the abomination of desolation that Daniel prophesy and Jesus referred to happening in the Catholic Church already....you never answered my question, I asked you if Jesus told you to bow to the communion! You think you are making sense? You are not, I just thought is fruitless taking you on on that topic cause you are just as confused as a thick forest!

I wonder if Jesus ever instructed us to bow in worship to God.

But I told you I'll answer you when you give me a Bible verse where Jesus says "don't bow to my body (communion)". So if you truly want my answer, you know what to do. Don't you want to nail me? Then give me an answer and I will have no other escape route. Or is the question a senseless one like the one you asked?

This calls for a thread on Iconism and Iconoclasm.

are there any respectable historical documents that confirm this story of Semiramis and Tammuz in Babylon because a lot of these sites seem to be anything but serious.

Mtchew!

John 6:32. Jesus said '' Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He (Jesus) who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world''. Vs35 '' I am the bread of life'' vs50 ''This is the bread which comes from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die''. V52 the Jews therefore quarreled ''how can this man gives us his flesh to eat?''. Vs53-63Jesus said to them, ''unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you''. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day''. '' For the Flesh is food indeed and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the Living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manners and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.'' Many of his disciples said ''this is hard saying; who can understand it?'' Jesus said to them ''what then if you see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? .... the words I speak to you are spirit, and they have life''. The Holy Communion (the body and blood of Christ consecrated by the Catholic priests since the history of the church) is the body of Jesus- God the Son. We have to show reverence and adoration to the body of Christ. We are to kneel before Jesus Christ.

Na wa o... Nothing wey i no go hear from nairaland. Pope priest of Horus, what of cardinals and bishops... whose priest are they. You guys should better be concerned about living a holy/righteous life, and not attacking other people's church. As 4 me... Catholic all the way.

[quote author=isunjaba]I had made my comments in what could be seen as in a matured and responsible way. Little did I realize that there are babies who are very parochial, uninformed and untutored on the site. I did not and will not find it necessary to condemn any denomination or group. I laid the source of any weaknesses on the Catholic Church- as a demonstration of humility, but not that we are weak. The Judgement should be left for God.

As a Catholic, I have encountered people at different levels of different denominations or Churches and have not found them living better Christian lives than me.
I have received tens of invitations inviting me to come and become pastor in different Churches, but I proudly and gratefully remain a Catholic. Through my practise of the true and authentic faith in Christ, many Catholics who had left the Church have come back.
The Catholic Church "owns" the bible, died to save it, was persecuted in preserving it over the centuries- close to two thousand years, suffered and was badly tortured in trying to spread the Gospel. So I do not see how a baby born today will feel it reads and understands the bible better its father that is 2000 yrs old, to whom the message was entrusted and has ever since remained custodian of the Truth by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We do not and will never make a public flaunting of our knowledge of the Scriptures nor interpret or apply it for selfish ends. It is not a business tool in our hands, neither do we use it to exploit the ignorant.

By the biblical fact that those who live in fellowship with Christ cannot be separated from God now (Romans 8:31) and will never be separated from this union by death (Rm 8:31, Mark 9:2-13), those who die in Christ continue with the ever ending of fellowship and intercession for the living. Our Lord's encounter with the "dead" Moses and Elijah is a sound proof of the fact that Our God is a God of the living and not of the dead. For this, we do confidently and rightly ask for the intercession of the righteous ones who are sleeping in Christ.
If you can ask your pastor whose future is very much uncertain to pray for you, I do not see why I cannot ask the holy and righteous Children of God- like Mother Mary and other saints to pray for me ( for us - you and I ) and our country Nigeria.
We acknowledge that not every of our officials or priests live 100% upright. But please show me that pastor that lives righteously and does not exploit the poor and hungry members of his Church for his personal development.

u have said it all, pastors today have extramarrital affaairs and claim to be holier.
