I do not surprise at all reading from this excerpt written by frosbel, I will gladly happy to inform you that Christianity is not at all a saint religion, murderers, kidnappers as well as different atrocities were found their place in it.

It will be very good to know and understand not only Islam has these characteristics of dilemma but your religion also have, so you should stop jumping into others belief and condemn them because of some few people deeds.

i doubt if you approve employment of graduates and professionals as you claim sir frosbel.... you have so much hate inside of you especially for catholics and i wont ask why. if abroad aint yielding like b4, come home, start a church, i bet you proceeds from there can ease your pain and frustration. stop observing useless things, focus more on things that would benefit your soul

Fortunately , having been in the Roman catholic church for a long period and observed their pagan practices, abominations and hypocrisies , I cannot keep silent when there are countless souls held in the Roman catholic church's demonic grip and who need release and freedom through the salvation that is in Jesus.

Therefore , it is my objective and vision to expose the anti-Christ system called the RCC and her apostate pope or should we say Man of SIN.

It is not a church but a pagan institution led by a false apostate prophet.

If the catholic church is truly the one and only , if it is the way to truth and peace and happiness, if it is holy and in favour with GOD , then we must begin to wonder why there is so much misery , poverty and violence in catholic countries

U mentioned Igbo,were they saints b4 catholicism came? Did u check d crime rates in those other areas b4 the catholic faith got to them,and compare with after? Rome is predominantly catholic,what do u have to say of their crime rate?does catholic church preach crime?even if Christ came down to preach Himself,and d people are economically unsatisfied,u think any changes will occur? Why practice pull-him-down christianity against a faith that will only wish u well? U think u are helping the body of Christ by castigating other chirstians/faith rather than preach love and living like Christ? Channel whatever energy u have to missionary work or something positive rather than sitting on ur butt,with ur wife typing thrash all the time.cheers

you are such a psycopath oga frosbel,typical of protestant and a hypocrite! virtually all your thread has similar tone of bitterness, hatred, and frustration but i would advice you to grow up and stop spinning lies to discredit the catholic church, it would do you no good atall. i advice again, come home dangote would soon stop recruiting for drivers, be fast and dnt miss an oppoturnity that would change your entire family's life or better still start a church of frosbel intl for gullible christians.....

How can you call Roman Catholicism Christian with all the pagan idols, rites and symbols .

Common don't fool yourself, the catholic church is not Christian at all, after all they carried out the crusades that killed millions of innocent Jews, Muslims, Pagans etc etc.

And what about the inquisitions including the later Spanish inquisition that involved the most gruesome methods of torture and destruction of tens of thousands of Christians and innocents.

You really call this a church ? and then to rub salt into the wound you call it the only true church.

You guys are totally deceived and need salvation.

Stop this rosary rubbish and bowing to dead saints and popes.

Come to JESUS he will give you life.

Funny... @Frosbel, you are trying to empty the ocean with you bare hands. No matter what you observe/copy/paste, the church still stand and will continue to stand. Just like nne said, better channel your effort into something that will benefit your soul. PEACE.

^^^Praying through Mary/Marian Apparition, using Prayer beads, the infallibility of the Pope, Praying to dead Saints, using Images like Hindus...the list goes on!

The above list and more are unscriptural, that's the difference I guess! Some Churches have their own unscriptural doctrines too (Like the OT tithing and many others); I do not classify them as Christians!

@Frosbel,if you go back into history,during the scandal of the P2Masonic Lodge in Italy,around 1982,it was discovered that the Italian Masons,the Italian Mafia and the Roman Catholic Church were all birds of a feather who flocked together.It was in fact further revealed that the P2 Freemasons had spread their tentacles to South America,especially Brazil,Argentina and Uruguay!!!
