jim jones:

masa relax. you accuse folks of being silly and making senseless comments(not that i'm defending anybody) while being disingenuous, yourself. yes the catholic church introduced pagan traditions to christianity, but where in that post did the pope ever admit that them pointless celebrations are of pagan origin?

seriallink:

Did you read the article? Smh!!

Ubenedictus: d pope didnt!

emeka762001: instead of una to dey cry for nigeria, una dey busy dey fight una self over wht pope say abt christ date of birth, how dat one take stop boko haram, kidnapping, bribery and corruption, armed robbery, bad roads, unemployment etc in nigeria?

ONESS:
Christmas and other christian celebrations were put in place of the pagan holidays in those days so that the christians of then and new converts dont get tempted to celebrat with the pagans as they use to celebrate the holiday. so to me this is a way of bulshiting the things of Christ. Christians are not even supposed to celebrate anything called birthday because John the baptist was beheaded during king Herod's birthday, but what would you do as a loyal disciple of Christ Jesus to keep the faith and not let your new converts to stray or backslide. think about it and give me your feed back.

bbpreye.:
What about bowing down to images as practiced by the catholic church.. Does it have a pagan origin too? If yes then why do they continue doing it?

crackhouse: how are we sure that pope said this? did u hear the pope said that? pls don't rely on whatever you see on the internet before drawing to conclusions because we have a lot of atheist with different websites writing trash just to destroy religion. they can stay in their homes and cook up a story, upload it to their website and circulate it just to cause confusion among Christians.

C'mon dude, u can not see the sun as bright as it is if u do not open ur eyes... U are still in doubt of a development that is on top of the news on CNN as I type

caseless: Roman v16:2.....i'm sure that was where u got confused from. How can there b contradictions in holy stuffs? Smh...

advocate666:

Has a pope ever denied the celebrations were of a pagan origin?

Ubenedictus: please can u give d quote where d pope said d celebrations have pagan origin?

seriallink:

You think Christ wouldn't have used technology in spreading the gospel of the kingdom if it were available at His time? I don't see the similarities between merging pagan traditions to Christianity and evangelising with technology!

Christ said the gospel must be preached to the whole world before the end will come (Matthew 24:14), how do you think that will happen without the technology we have today?

Did Christ follow the ways of His disciples after converting them or taught them the ways of God? So, if you succeed in coverting a juju worshipper today, will you merge his traditions to the body of Christ just to please him? Smh

jim jones:

eh, masa...madam seriallink is not gonna give you an answer to that kweshun. as you may have noticed, i have tackled the woman on that issue and she's proven to be one of those people that can't pass up an opportunity to mouth off, albeit, very disingenuously. the paragraph he thinks is attributed to the pope, is actually(as every sensible person in the world should be able to see) john barton's. but disingenuous people are not known to admit their wrongs.

seriallink:

Are you gay mayne? I'm not surprised! That's one of the pagan traditions you learnt from your Church! Smh for you! Sorry, I ain't no woman....Do I look like a woman to you Catholics....smh again

Ubenedictus: and benedict didnt even say this!

Ubenedictus: what church is dat again?

azeezlateefah: Christianity full of error....they have many bible,call jesus the creator of heaven and earth, paul wrote bible, many churches, and many more! If you are wise enough question your pastors!!!!! Christianity is not a religion from jesus.only the wise understand this! ISLAM REMAIN THE ONLY COMPLETE RELIGION COS YOU MUST BELEIVE IN ALL THE PROPHET OF GOD INCLUDING issa(jesus) PBUH. I HEREBY IMPLORE ALL CHRISTIAN TO SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH AND NOT UNTIL THE POPE FIND OUT THAT CHRISTIANITY was formulated by pegans after jesus died, I PERSONALLY INVITE YA'ALL To ISLAM I.e submmision to the creator of heaven and earth..thank you.

seriallink:

sergio-zlatan:
obeying & diligently serving him. -----are you sure that you are obeying God while you ignore the old testament bible and follow the revised editions by your pastor and you can passionately call that word of God!.....All these imbalances are not in islam! Prophet muhamed said (s.a.w) if a muslim don't believe in jesus (isa) that person is a non muslim!.......OPEN YOUR MIND HEART EAR and see Islam remain the only religion unaltered so what are you waiting my brother!
Na by force?

IMO, Just stick to serving God, obeying & diligently serving him. Believe in the trinity that's all. I've learnt that most doctrines/teachings aren't always true.

jim jones:

...easily proves my point. madam seriallink, i inserted that deliberately to prove just how perfunctory your responses are. i knew you were going to faff around...avoiding the more pertinent issue raised in that there post of mine, and get hung up on the unimportant. no surprise there. albeit, i maintain that you can disagree with the pope without having to lie or be dishonorable. how this position makes me a roman catholic is simply unfathomable by me, walai.

Olarajee: Christ's birth date is not the only controversy raised by the Pope in his new book – he also said that contrary to the traditional Nativity scene, there were no oxen, donkeys or other animals at Jesus's birth.
