I don't eat meat anyway (except asun cheesy) But I would like to be educated on the reasons why Catholics do not eat meat o. A biblical doctrine? a form of penance? a tradition? Whichever it is, I'm sure the abstinence on a particular day wont take one to heaven neither non-abstinence take one to hell.
N.B: Which Fridays are Bad anyway?

every church/denomination have their own doctrines, the early day christiandom maped out some doctrines to help make them feel closer to God and do pennance for their sin, that is why Lent and Holy friday was invented. It is a matter of choice, if you like, eat meat if you like dont. But please dont insult people because of their faith. As for me and my family, we abstain from meat on ash wednesday and good friday.

Some churches belive u have to fast at least once a week and itz considerd sin if you dont - doctrine.

Others beleive you have to be baptised by fire or in a special stream - doctrine.

Others abolishes all sorts of make ups, even watching television and reading novels (read the black boy by richard wright) - doctrine.

So belive in what works for you so long as at the end of the day, it brings you closer to the Almighty God.

my rich guy, how many private jets do u own? Dont tell me there arent any poor needy person in your congregation. I am not going to mention names though but from what i am seeing from the later day churches/protestants, some pastors preffer to display wealth, class and style while the congregation suffera and at d end of the month/year, you MUST pay your tithe or perish. Please how many private jet did apostle Paul own? And how many of the churches he built were registered as his private business with his wife and first son as trustees?

Well i like wat some other pastors are doing, reaching out to the poor on daily basis and offering scholarship, atleast that shows that the tithe are being used for God's work because God says 'whatsoever you do even to the least of my brethren, that you do unto me' so since tithe is God's money, spend it on public service.

oluomad:

that is his own personal investment, do u mean that pastors shouldnt have their investments, oh!! What a Jealous dude...

I think I provd dat eatin of meats should be done anytym, even n gud fridays, check, 1thim2vs3... Shw m whr in d bibl whr t says dat u shudnt eat meat n Fridays..thnx

You can call me jealous or crazy, it doesn't mean I am. Neither does it have anything to do with what we are saying here. I didn't say a pastor can't have investment. I said show me where the Bible says that a pastor can own an airline, since you believe that Christians should only practise what is in the Bible and anything not written there is a sin.

1 Tim 2:3 doesn't even mention the word "meat" or say anything about eating, perhaps someone needs glasses.

I'm still waiting for you to show me where the Bible says pastors can own airlines if you want me to show you where the Bible says "don't eat meat on Good Friday"

oluomad:
italo and d quoter, do u knw dat d bibl says we shudnt add nor substract anytn 4m d word of God?? Y then do u say dat all thns are nt writen there

It wasn't me who said 'all things are not written there', it was St. John. Read:

John 21:25 "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."

And John 20:31,32 "Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

You should spend more time with your optician rather than on nairaland attacking Catholics.

@italo, yeah I know u are catholic..same here bro @oluomad,pls read Gospel of saint John 21 frm verse 25 and it is CLEARLY indicated there that NOT EVERYTHING that Jesus did was recorded in the bible..so there are visibly works,deeds, and actions that christians esp Catholics do that despite not being in d bible are still acceptable which brings me back to my earlier comment on teachings and traditions of the church..pray tell me,have I or rather have catholics added or subtracted anything??

Re: Do You Eat Meat On Good Friday? by pek(m): 8:00pm On Apr 05, 2012
Reading the posts, i must say that i was not in any way educated on why i should not eat meat on good friday. It is unfortunate people can backup their argument with intelligent facts, logic or reasoning.
Re: Do You Eat Meat On Good Friday? by ignis: 8:25pm On Apr 05, 2012
Y nt? I eat meat everyday. And nothing stops me from eating meat on good friday.
Re: Do You Eat Meat On Good Friday? by Specialist900(m): 9:20pm On Apr 05, 2012
yes, i eat meat
Re: Do You Eat Meat On Good Friday? by Nobody: 9:58pm On Apr 05, 2012
I'm a Catholic so I don't. The reason is to commemorate Jesus' final and ultimate sacrifice on Calvary on the first Good Friday, by giving up some worldly pleasures on that day. Most people prefer meat, which is why it is a sacrifice. We not only abstain from flesh, we fast as well.
