So na man de dcide man fate nw frm God, na wa oooo, lata him go de dcide who will enta heaven and who will nt... In 2 baba's voice "Nobody holy pass" grin
baba, dey they even decide who enter heaven sef with this their purgatory. Purgatory for brethren who they believe is steadfast and committed to the church works. They pray for the purging and cleansing of the dead and they automatically believe that the person don automatically make heaven be that.

Catholics why do you seek forgiveness from a priest instead of from God

apostles were given power to do many things including forgiveness

Among the priests to forgive the repentant women are the gays and the pedophile in the house.


Catholic deceiving people since 500 ad.


No one has the capacity to forgive a sin against God. Humans can only forgive any wrong doing against them not a sin against God.

Catholic priests also go for confession among themselves.

Even pope goes for confession. Confession makes u conscious of avoiding sins.

I believe the only people u owe apologies to is the person u wronged and God.

Simple.



How could u kill my mother or father or rob me or injure me severely or betray me and den went to priest for confessions and he forgives u? What about me? Did I forgive u? Does it mean my own forgiveness does not matter?

I really don't get this.

My broda, if not for the experiences I have had, I would have called it a scam.

Its not a scam, it works.


Knowledge has taught us that whatever you strongly attach ur believe to would work for u if u so believe it.

Now look at this scenario years back when the late Dora ( peace be upon her soul) was fighting fake drugs, the Onitsha boys would sell us chalks as paracetamol but because we believe in the efficacy of paracetamol we take the chalk unknowingly nd it works.

It is not the Christianity that makes it work it is your believe man, not Jesus nor any goddam western god

Priests are the God we see here on earth. Just like you see God in other people so do we see God in the priests. The priest is a mediator between us and God.
Jesus is the mediator only. No one else.

Catholic priests when absolving sin invokes the power bestowed on them as is in d Bible, but forgiveness is left for God.

Catholic priests including Pope go for confession when they err. No man is perfect

I am not talking of healing here.

I am talking of divine encounters. Where no faith was attached.

Besides if you want to talk of miracles, I know someone that was raised from the dead. After being confirmed dead by doctors. So I don't see how you can strongly "beleive" as you say for a dead person.

Let me tell u. When u go for confession and u wronged somebody, then u confess it, u will b asked if u have reconciled with that person, if ur answer is negative, the priest admonishes u to go reconcile then come back. If u have reconciled, u r admonished on ways to avoid falling into such sins in d future, then prayer of forgiveness is said for u by d priest.

forgive my 'ignorance' but who will forgive the Pope if and when he sins? Who does he confess to?

Any ordained priest can hear his confession.

See Pope below in confessional. He needs admonition too, else he falls

That is not what this scripture means.It means confess your wrong doings/offences to each other.
God is the only One who forgives sins in the Name of Jesus.

Jesus alone can forgive all sins.. confess ur sins directly to him. no priest can absolve ur sins. only Jesus can..

oya catholics on the house, sentence me to death.
Jesus can't forgive sin,it is the father that forgives sin. why Jesus said that no one comes to the father except through him,simply means his name as a high priest which means that when God sees ur sins he sees the blood that was sheared for u and he will forgive u because of the atonement of the blood of Christ on ur behalf .

Yes it happens very well, I have seen a Nigerian die in Togo and taken to a mortuary for days, after few days the assumed dead body start kicking from where it was kept. The doctors and nurses took to their heels on seeing this assumed dead. Today this man is still alive still practicing his driving career, life and nature is mysterious my brother it is not by mentioning one western god that things happens.

If it were by that I could have brought the corpse of my beloved grandpa for them to raise him up.

The Beast of Revelation 13. You are God on earth, huh? You shall be doomed when Christ comes. Still people still wonder and follow this Beast(666), calculate VICARIUS FILII DEI in Roman Figure and it will give 666. Read Revelation 13:17, 18. It is a name for popes written on their crown; meaning vicar of the Son of God on earth. If you don't know, Sunday Worship is the Image of the Beast, and the Beast is the one on that picture.

Praying for someone coming back to life is different from what you mentioned. But anyway leaving that....

So what of my divine encounters? Meeting God, an angel telling me what to do? grin you will say I was high abi or how do you know I encountered such? cool
