Anas09:

You won't get any clue if u r just a let's go, let's go Catholic. They blatantly religate the scriptures and replaced them with the traditions of men.
this is a lie! U shouldnt propagate such lies.

Let's agree with them for a moment that they are Christians, as they claim.
They do not see the Roman as Christian Converts, they see them as the originators of Christianity.

this is another lie. No catholic in his right mind will claim that d romans originators of christianity.
And I ask again, are they categority stating that Christ was a Catholic, and all the apostles, were also Catholics? Those Asian churches Christ talked abt in Reveltion, were they Catholic churches.
in d other thread i clearly told u that all the eastern churches were all catholic until they broke away. Suprisingly u left the thread and came u to ask d same question.

You mean all these people that say they are worshipping the king of kings are actually worshipping the King of Babylon? shocked shocked shocked
that is Anas09 logic and arguement not mine. He claims becos a goddes was called queen of heaven that means mary cant legitimately use the same title, i'm simply reminding him that the king of babylon who claimed godlike status was also honoured as king of kings and if his arguement and logic is right then it is wrong to call Jesus king of kings or even morning star.

@btoks

We are not here talking abt those who say the story of Jesus is a myth. We are talking abt the idolatry of the catholic religion.
If they say the the story of Jesa Myth, its because they haven't encountered Him first hand. I have. He reveals things to me in my dreams before they happen. E.g sunday night breaking monday morning. I had a dream, two guys tricked me into their car, wen we got to where I shd stop, they passed, they dropped me where I didn't know, I got lost trying to find my way home, later I saw those two guys pretending to be lost with me. I woke from that dream knowing, I needed to be careful, I was going to fall into wrong hands. I prayed, and went out. While coming out of the bank in the afternoon, A car just swapped in front of me, with three guys inside, the one at the back opened the door so fast for me to enter, the bank security guard shouted behind me "Don't enter that car" the authority in his voice stattled me, very quickly the car zoomed off. When I asked why he said I shdnt enter the car, he told me it was one chance. Then I remember the dream I had just that morning. I can only imagine what those guys would ve done to me.

So you see? Wen I pray, I pray to him who lives, and answers prayers. If he is myth to them, that's find by them.

Lol, so because Angel Gabrail says all generations will call mary blessed, that inveriably means all generation will pray to God through Mary? And what abt the saints?
Pls sir I need u to teach me something. What is the definition of idolatry?
And when God commanded his followers in Deut. 4:15- 16, not to make any images of any kind, I guess He wasn't being serious?
Very fuNny. Since Jesus is the King, his Mother becomes the Queen? These guys will go to any length to justify their idol worship

@Uben. It will suffice me, if u can give me a scripture that mandates the priest, me or anyone else outside Jesus, to be a mediator. Maybe my understanding of mediator is limited.
What do u mean by me "sharing in the office of Christ?) I am a joined heir with him by virture of my accepting his love. That doesn't mean, I become a mediator. I can't share his Godhead position or office.
The diff. Between u and I is that, I don't wait for my pastor to tell me everything, and I don't believe everything am told. I have diff translation of the Bible. I spend time to read it for myself.
So you actually said, image worship is a christian practice from the days of the Apostles?@Uben. U are beginning to sound desperate to me.
Imagine u bringing up the very arogance of King Nebuchadnezzar, who exualted and put himslef in the place of God, giving glory to himself rather than to God, calling himslf King of kings. Maybe u shd be reminded what happened to him after that. This is lame man. I expect more from you.
The Queen of Heaven is a demon, if u brought the King of Kings to justify ur worship of Queen of Heaven, then, I give up on you. Wow.

As I have said earlier we have many version of that history since non of them did not substantiate their fact with facts I am not in position to hold brief for them. Yet I know you are not privy to the version that you defend too since you are merely relying on written account . I then wonder what made you so sure this account is foolproof and authentic were you a first hand witness of this event.

In other words, you don't know who compiled your bible and when. Yes or no?

May be you will have to tell me. For your info even if I don't know a simple google search is enough to provide many version of the history which I had painstakingly peruse several times to arrive at conclusion.
Tell me with proof beyond reasonable doubt the authenticity of your claim. Not according to. Tell me with your own validation research scientifically the truism of your claim.

I mean that you have made a claim to know who wrote the gospels. After your claim you were asked to tell us who those people are.

The appropriate answer to that request would be a list of names and dates, or a simple 'sorry, I don't know'.

Instead the irrelevant and inane rhetorics started to flow.

You said:

.... but nobody asked you how many versions or whether they substantiated anything and no one asked you to hold brief for anybody. So why do you go off in this nonsense daft direction.

You said:

.. again totally irrelevant to the question asked of you. And totally nonsensical. Apart from you, everybody else has admitted that they don't know who wrote the gospels. Is it not daft to accuse someone of not being a first hand witness to his ignorance of an historical event? Does this not make you sound like a dunce?

You said:

... you come take plain-faced lie crown the whole wuruwuru. I believe you meant to write posteriori. Now you tell us, where did you witness the writing of the gospels, since your position is based on posteriori? Unless you admit that you just told a big fat lie. Nothing is posteriori about your claims.

Well the little I understand about your ranting is that you jumped on the tread midway without full comprehension of positions thereof.
I was not the one making claims of who compiled the bible, rather I was asked the questions to which I responsibly answered that I could not take position on the subject matter due to raging controversies subsisting thereof of which I don't have personal validated facts to substantiate.
This is the reason I said I resorted to posteriori evaluation so that I can form personal opinion which I am not intending to carelessly impose on anyone, because they are also entitled to their opinion too.
I believe this is decent enough.

I disagree with that sir. May be the catholic version of it and not the one that is acceptable by all, persecuted by many, survived and passed the test of time and commercially available to all,
to which bro italo ask you to produce the name of those who compiled the bible you claim stood the test of time. If you are not privy to such infomation then how do you know for sure it was not the Catholic church that compiled that very bible.

There you go, that is not my position at all. I am neither maintaining that catholic church nor any other group compiled the bible. He wanted to drag me into that but I refused to be dragged because I don't have verified facts.
My position still remain the contemporary Bible is not acceptable to Catholic. That is posteriori enough to draw conclusion. Else there wouldn't have been catholic version with other additions to it . I have read it myself.
That is why I logically deduced that catholic church did not compiled it. Else they wouldn't have persecuted it so much under any guise. But amazingly its still more popular than any other version. Going posteriori again a simple goole search for bible returns contemporary bible for the 1st 10 pages before any other version. I can go on but let me rest my case.

Catholics were against the translations of the bible which were politically motivated and words were translated to make the Catholic church look bad. That is the bibles you say stand the test of time. They are translated with political bias. Every group puts their own spin on it.

Your logic is flawed. If I compiled a book and thought it latter to make additions to the very book I compiled automatically disqualify me from claiming I'm the compiler? Bro the first version and second version were compiled by me. Secondly what exactly do you mean the contemporary bible is unacceptable to Catholics.
Thirdly you seem not to know the difference between compilation of the bible and translation of the bible. The catholics were only against the translation of the bible.

You're probably not aware that where the OT is quoted in the NT, this was mainly from the Septuagint. Even your protestant brothers agree with this e.g. (G. Archer and G. C. Chirichigno, Old Testament Quotations in the New Testament: A Complete Survey, 25-32).
The fact is the Septuagint contains the seven deuterocanonicals. Even the Orthodox and Copts use these books.

Don't you think it's the person who removed these books in the 16th Century that Satan messed with?

You make some outlandish claims that you could never back up. like linking Satan with the Catholic Church! Do be careful bro and try doing some research other than what you get from Matt Slick and gotquestions.

Bros, all these pictures you're posting are lies (comics drawn and created by liars).


My question is simple: What is the pillar and foundation of truth? (Before you answer, read 1 Timothy 3:15).
.
Also,
Which came first, the bible or the Church?
(Remember that Saul was persecuting the Church before he became the Paul that wrote the letters in the bible.)
