Roman Catholic Is Not A Church, But A Modernised Way Of Idolatry?

modernized idolatry? Sounds like Catholicism to me.

@I-man

Some believers where deceived while some fled to caves to hold fellowships there. The pope of them commanded that the Bible should not be allow in public, that its a sacred book that should be read by pope or any one appointed by pope alone. This was done by the pope just to keep the truth away from the people that salvation is free. The Catholic had brain washed the people that the pope has power to give salvation and forgive sin. When you pay big to the church you get salvation from the pope and if you commit sine you can confess to the pope and your sins are said to be forgiven. On the contrary the Bible said that only through Jesus salvation can be achieved.

Till today Roma Catholics still go for confessions every Saturday, just for the Father or the priest to pronounce forgiveness on them and they are satisfy "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleans us from all unrighteousness

SO THEN WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF HOW THE CHURCH BEGAN ?

Supposing one says that trans-Atlantic slavery began with the Arabs.Another disputes that,won't you expect the disputing person to offer an alternative explanation of how trans-Atlantic slavery began ?

That is what I have been waiting for literally years for some explanation.I keep being told that the Catholic historical version is not true but no alternative version is offered.


So the early "Biblical Church" dey for caves?   

Didn't Protestantism emerge from the Catholic Church ? Since it emerged from that Church,where was the "Biblical Chruch"?   

As I said, I'll serve this issue piecemeal - no rush or clutter.

The first issue I'd like for you guys to clear is the Papacy system. Please kindly demonstrate that very system from the same Bible you guys claim it gave the world. I've referenced earlier that we've discussed this issue elsewhere; and my position remains the same - there is no system of POPE or Papacy among the early Church.

@I-man.

The believers took a wise decision to flee to a save place for fellowship so as to preserve the truth for us and thank God that the truth eventually gets to us. 

That is the Anglican Church,one vversion of Protestantism- but Protestantism has different historical origins.At least we know their origins but they fail to tell us our own historical origins.

Their slogan is -You are not the early Church and it is up to you to tell who you are.Doesn't make sense


Please serve the issue.I await with bated breath.Let me arguendo ,plead ignorance about the history of the Catholic Church.Now,over to UWhat is the origin of this Church and what happened to the "Real Church"? Oya,continue serving.

Chineke!I first asked this question at 11.05 am-4 hrs ago .I now plead ignorance as to the answer.So,in your wisdom and astounding knowledge,tell us how the Church emerged and what happened to the Real Church ?

I know from the Bible that Paul didn't take a wife (1 Cor. 9:5). But it was rather Peter that the Catholic Church calims was the first Pope. And I've discussed this in the other thread I keep mentioning!

Now, just to appease you, the Church began on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2.

I-man, I like to deal with issues in simple terms, rather than scooting off into other issues without first dealing with an existing one.

I've appealed that you guys demonstrate where in the Bible the Papacy system is taught, since pilgrim.1 cannot find it there!

The other issues I point out, I've given reference for them. Wetin happen wey una no fit hold una ground?

I see some oddity here dear Pilgrim. So the church started in Acts 2. Then later on, Paul became a christian. This same Paul wrote most of what modern day christians consider to be the christian faith. What has stopped other people from receiving similar revelations that could (and maybe should) be added to the bible?

What do you understand word Papacy?  We are only referring the Office of Pope which St Peter was and acted as the Head of  Xtians.  The change of name does not necessarily matter, hence Pope in simple term means Head.  You can call him Pope or Head of Christians or even Bishop of Rome.  I have told you before that God approve hierarchy and Christ could not have left His Church without a Leader.  There must be orderliness.  No Church on earth today can claim oneness as prayed by Christ except Catholic Church.  “My Church shall be one and the Gate of Hell cannot prevail against it. I’m still wondering if Catholic Church is not the true Church, then which one enjoys the oneness?  Just mention the church.

Ebos - the head of the church is Jesus, not the pope.

where did ebos get the idea that people have pictures of "Jesus" in their houses.

The only people known for that madness are Catholics.

ThiefOfHearts-Thank you very much for your contribution, i agree with you, they even have it in their pockets and around their necks.

Hehe, I've simply excused myself for the moment from this thread - so people can sort out their issues. As for the pictures. . . hmm, I've offered that my dear ebos should not assume this is the case with everybody!
