■ God never asked any of you to rub ashes over themselves in the name of Jesus Christ
■and He certainly never asked anyone to celebrate a curse He placed on mankind in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 22, the very same curse which He sent Jesus Christ to redeem men from..
■ Your penance which you claim has absolutely nothing to do with that commanded by God as preached of by John the Baptist - Matthew 3 vs 7 - 11 - and by Jesus Christ. undecided

Your rituals are antiChrist- against Jesus Christ as they pursue that which runs counter His teachings to you. undecided

And you that cannot expose your own ritual that is God what does that make you?
When I told you I will not let you go you think I was joking right?

1. Oga you are nothing but the devil's incarnate. Before the world you could tell lies just to hide your stupidity. So, you just randomly pick the Bible and God spoke through you all you learnt from the Bible.

2. You were never a member of any church, like seriously?

3. So Christ did not found any church on earth or is just your stupidity that has metamorphos into something else
1. I challenge you to speak up about the lie you accuse me of here. undecided

2. Growing up, I had no belief in God even though my mother tried to shove religion down our throats but never made sense to me as the more I listened, the more the tales didn't add up. And for good reason... they contradicted what was written in scripture. As an adult, I embrace myself in unbelief and decided much later to find the true God on my own. And in 2017, I finally figured out that all it took was obedience , just as it is written... obedience of God's very own commandments as given. undecided

3. Why would Jesus Christ have need to found a church on earth when He said His followers and even His Kingdom are not of this world? This isn't really rocket science. undecided

That is the foundation of your problem, I know you will reveal yourself and till you die everything about God's word will still be difficult for you to understand completely.

You don't have foundation and you want to build on something?

Did Jesus fast in lent?

Did Jesus put Ash on people forehead as we dey see today?

Who started all these?

anything you bound on Earth has been bound in heaven and anything you lose on Earth has been lose in heaven. Meaning that if we bring lent, it is also allowed in heaven

What if you bring idol worshiping?

Anything?

Go to the early fathers of the church if you will find anything familiar.

Jesus explicitly told the disciples that. If you don't know the passage, I can't help you.

But that statement from Jesus shows that anything they bond or accept on Earth that isn't bad is accepted in heaven.

By the way, in many instances in the Bible people used ashes on their heads etc. We saw that with the people of Nineveh and with David too I think. So calm down.

Your utterance here is born of ignorance and foolishness! undecided

God gave no man power to add, change or remove commandments where His Law is concerned. He warned you against this very act in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 15 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13, warning that those of you who break this law by following the doctrines and traditions of men essentially render null the power of God's Word- Jesus Christ- in your life's by this. undecided

Your lent rituals are born of the doctrines and traditions of men, that which Jesus Christ announced as lies. You celebrate God's curse on mankind through your rituals, a curse which stands in contradiction of the redemption granted us by God from the curse through Jesus Christ, yet you convince yourselves that his unholy ritual you can bind to that which is of God? You heap God's curse upon yourselves by your actions. undecided
I swear you no get Sense.
No be Jesus tell him disciples say anything they bound on Earth has been bound in heaven and anything they lose on Earth is lose in heaven.
Also you believe lent is evil abeg didn't the people of Nineveh put ashes on their heads to beg for forgiveness? That's also wat lent is about.

Did God tell them to put ashes on their heads? No. How come God accepted their repentance?

Lol the people of Nineveh used Sam tradition of men to gain forgiveness from God. So I'll take their experience over you any day and time.

Have noticed you in this forum, you behave like you know everything while you're as ignorant as anything.
Yu have no sense and do not even understand what you claim too.

We see in Many instances in the Bible where different individuals put ashes in on their heads to show repentance and God forgive them. If God is against it, would he forgive them? Use your head Oga. Mtcheeeew.


By the way, Go and quarrel Jesus for telling his disciples that. Mtcheeeew

Waylex21:


Did Jesus preach repentance? Yes He did. That's what Lent emphasizes.
Does repentance go with any outward manifestation? Repentance is accompanied by wearing sack clothes and ashes as we find severally in the Bible. That's what the ashes on the forehead signify.

The season of Lent is a 40-day period of intense prayer, abstinence and charity in order to rise newly with Jesus as we celebrate His suffering, death and ressurection at Easter.

And as a matter of fact, communal fast is observed in the Bible. So, as a community of faith, we encourage ourselves to abstain, to pray more and to be more charitable. Does the Bible support these? Yes it does.

That's what Lent is all about.

This is not what i asked?

lol. There are many instances Jesus fast but it wasn't even written in the Bible. No be everything Bible go write

Many Prophets even people like king David I think put ashes on their foreheads. We saw Same in Nineveh and it was accepted by GOD.


What you should be asking is, do God allow people to put ashes on their heads in repentance? And the answer will b YES. GOD accepted that from the people of Nineveh and from many Prophets too and the people of isreal.

The people of Israel might have called their own Ashe Putting different names but it mean same things with what Lenth is all about. Just like in my language 'Annang' we might not call it Lenth but whatever we call it it means the Same thing and for Same purpose- Repentance.
