Kaycee7: Please go on How the Catholic church views the Bible Below are the kinds of replies you can expect from a Roman Catholic priest if you ask him about the contents of the Bible. Yes I know Matthew 23:9, seems to condemn calling me "Father", but you are not able to understand the Bible like I do. Yes I know is appears like Jesus condemned the repetitive prayer of the Rosary beads in Matthew 6:7, but Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1208 AD and revealed to him the Rosary Beads herself! Yes Matthew 13:55-56 seems to indicate that Jesus had brothers and sisters, but these were the children of Joseph from a previous marriage or just cousins. Yes, I agree that 1 Timothy 2:5 sounds like Jesus is the only mediator between god and man, but the Pope decided she was indeed also a mediator between God and man |

[b]MORE OF HOW THEY VIEW THE BIBLE BELOW: Yes Christ and Paul did command every Christian to drink of the communion cup in Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28. And Yes I know that two early popes condemned withholding the cup, (Pope Leo I [died 461 AD] and Pope Gelasius [died 496 Ad]; but in the 12th century the practice was begun, and formally approved by the Catholic Council of Constance in 1415 AD. Was every living Christian in the church in Corinth called a saint? Yes I know that in the Bible (1 Corinthians 1:2; Ephesians 1:1; Philippians 1:1; Romans 1:7) every Christian was a saint and every saint was a Christian. Yes I agree, the Bible uses the word saint as interchangeably synonymous with being a Christian, but the Roman Catholic church has the power to change the Bible. Yes I know that in the apostolic church (1 Peter 2:5,9; Revelation 1:6; 5:10), every Christian was a priest and the two terms are used interchangeably synonymous with being a Christian, but the Roman Catholic church decided that only leaders should be called priests. Yes I know that the Bible appears to teach that 1 Timothy 3:2-5 bishops must be married with believing children, but you can't even understand the Bible anyway, why do you ask? Just trust me because only Catholic priests can understand the Bible. Yes I have read 1 Timothy 4:1-3, and is seems to condemn forbidding the marriage of Catholic priests, but the Pope decided that unmarried men are more holy than married men. Yes I know that Mark 1:30; 1 Corinthians 9:5 say that Peter had a wife 23 years after Christ died on the cross (53 AD), but Pope Gregory VII decided in 1079 AD from that time onward, that church leaders cannot marry. Yes I know that sitting through a Latin Mass service can be very boring for many Catholics in the pews. And yes I know that 1 Corinthians 14:19 condemns conducting a church service in a language the average member does not understand, but the Pope decided that Latin sounds real holy and has both historical and mystical qualities. Yes I know the early church did not begin to celebrate Christmas until the 4th century. And yes I know that Galatians 4:10-11 condemns the keeping of such holy days not found in the Bible, but the church at Rome needed a way to convert the pagan worshippers of Mithra, the god of light... and it worked! Yes I know that Acts 20:7 commands Christians to have weekly communion services and that the early church did not celebrate Easter as is done today, but having a yearly communion service was something later church leaders wanted to add to worship. Yes I know that the Roman Catholic church deleted the 2nd commandment (Exodus 20:4) in order to hid from the masses God's condemnation of bowing down and kissing images of Mary and Peter, but Mary revealed herself to us in a vision. Yes I know that Jesus was baptized by full immersion in the Jordan River (Matthew 3:16), and that sprinkling was not officially approved until 1311 AD, but it sure is more convenient. Yes I know that babies have no faith and cannot repent, and are therefor not really valid candidates for baptism (Mark 16:16; Acts 8:36-37; Acts 2:38). But the Pope invented the idea of where the faith and repentance that the infant lacks, is exchanged for the faith and repentance of a "God Parent". Yes I know none of this is in the Bible, but the Pope is the "holy see" and he must know what he is doing! Yes I know Ezekiel 18:20 proves the doctrine of total hereditary depravity (inherited original sin) contradicts the Bible, but you cannot understand the Bible anyway, only the priest can correctly interpret it. Yes I know that Matthew 18:2-3 teaches that children are better models of purity and conduct than adults, but the Pope teaches that infants are wicked defiled sinners condemned to hell until a Catholic priest baptizes them and removes the curse of original sin. Yes I know Ephesians 3:4 plainly seems to say that when you read the Bible by yourself, you can have the same insight that the apostle Paul had into spiritual things, but we Catholic priests cannot teach all our false doctrines that contradict the Bible unless we convince you that you can't understand the Bible unless the priest helps you. Yes I know that 1 Peter 3:15 teaches every Christian should be able to defend from the Bible what they believe, but isn't that what us Roman Catholic priests are supposed to do? Do you want to put us out of job and rob us of all our power and control? Yes I know that human traditions that contradict the Bible are condemned in Mark 7:7-9, but all the doctrines that contradict the Bible which the Pope through up were revealed to him directly by Christ and therefore, although they contradict the Bible, they are divinely approved by Christ himself.[/b] |

naijadeyhia: FACT: Catholics are taught to call their priest, "Father", as a religious title of respect. Christians in the first century never called their leaders, "father". This first happened hundreds of years later.And you forgot vs 8 and 10 of matt23?. Ridiculous! |

St.Ola: [b]FACT: The Bible says there is only one mediator between God and man. Is mary that one mediator? "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5 FACT: The Pope says only very special dead Catholic people qualify to be called "saints". For example, Pope John Paul II could not make Mother Teresa a saint (official canonization) until after she was dead. The average Catholic in the pew is never called a "saint" dead or alive! In fact if a pew dwelling Catholic started calling himself a "saint", he would be rebuked by the parish priest! "To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours" 1 Corinthians 1:2 "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus" Ephesians 1:1 "Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons" Philippians 1:1 "to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 1:7[/b] |

naijadeyhia: [b]If the Bible is a Catholic book, Firstly, I would ask you, who or what describes/decides what is scripture. Did Paul term his letters scripture or was it the church leaders after him who did? Secondly, Paul describes a bishop as married to 1 woman as opposed to many, not as opposed to being celibate which Paul was and even encouraged. Marriage was never a condition to assume the role of bishop, rather not being polygamous was. Thirdly, condemnation was made for the observance of Jewish law by way of its ordinances and holy days. No prohibition was made concerning ordinances that reinforce Christianity, rather the condemnations were to protect gentile Christians from the overbearing nature of Jewish Christians with celebrations that had become irrelevant with the advent of the new covenant. Fourthly, Baptism as described by Christ was of water and holy spirit. I see no compulsory immersion in the definition. So if immersion provides water contact and pouring also provide water contact, then baptism has occurred. 5. Must it be recorded in the books made scripture by the church, before instrumental music is allowed? David play the harp, he wasn't deemed demonic. 6. Christ's sole mission was to reconcile man to God. After his resurrection, as his parting gift to the Apostles even after promising them the holy spirit, he gave them the power to forgive sins. 7. The origins of the rosary is well known. Are you saying it must have been noted in the scripture that the rosary will be revealed to whom it was, when it was? Or are you saying no revelation must come the way of mankind anymore if not foretold in scripture? 8. The Mass is a worship service that integrates the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the Eucharist. What is wrong with the Mass? Christ said, "Do this in remembrance of me". It was reiterated by Paul that it should be done as often as we meet. So what is your problem with the Eucharist/Mass? 9. The primacy of Peter is only debated by people who have nothing better to do with time. Why you choose to question the decision of Christ reeks of heresy. 10. Only those Christians who have died in a state of grace are saints. Not Christians living in a wicked and adulterous world. Lastly, what exactly is your arguement over the origin of the bible? The church compiled the bible, the church wrote the New Testament. The church documented the ministry of Christ, the church wrote letters, the church decided what is scripture or not, the church compiled what it had and what the Jews/Hebrew already had and made it 1book. The church is Catholic and Apostolic! 1 Like |

St.Ola: CONFUSION ALL THE WAY! I WILL JUST PICK ONE OUT OF ALL YOU SAID AND IF YOU ANSWER IT CORRECTLY THEN YOU HAVE WON THIS ARGUMENT. ARE PRIESTS MANDATED TO BE SINGLE OR CAN THEY CHOOSE TO GET MARRIED IF THEY SO DESIRE? LET ME REPHRASE THE QUESTION IN CASE YOU SAY YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, CAN A MARRIED MAN BECOME A PRIEST IN THE CATHOLIC FOLD? WITH BIBLICAL REFERENCE SHOW ME WHERE IS STATES THAT A PRIEST MUST NOT BE MARRIED [b]THE ORIGIN OF THE ROSARY IS ONLY KNOWN AND ACCEPTED TO CATHOLICS SAME WAY THE ORIGIN OF THE TASBIH KNOW AND ACCEPTED BY MUSLIMS. IF ONLY THE DEAD CHRISTIANS ARE SAINTS THEN THIS MEANS THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS A LIE AS YOUR CATHOLIC CHURCH IS TRYING TO IMPLY THAT GOD LIES AND THEY HOLD THE TRUTH BUT MY BIBLE STATES THAT LET ALL MEN BE LIARS AND LET GOD BE TRUE. PLEASE READ BELOW: "To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours" 1 Corinthians 1:2 "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus" Ephesians 1:1 "Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons" Philippians 1:1 "to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 1:7[/b] YOU SPEAK OF THE MASS. ALLOW ME TO ASK YOU, DO YOU DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST AS A CATHOLIC OR DO YOU JUST EAT THE LEAVENED BREAD AS THE BODY OF CHRIST? ARE MERE CATHOLICS ALLOWED TO DRINK THE BLOOD OR JUST THE PRIESTS DO? [b]To the whole church in Corinth: "in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup." 1 Corinthians 11:28 "While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:26-28 "For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup." 1 Corinthians 11:23-28[/b] |

naijadeyhia: Sometimes i can not help but laugh boisterously when you ignorant protestants keep quoting this bible and discard everything outside the bible as lies. Let me make one thing clear to you, the bible was not written by God, it was written by men but under his inspiration. Again, you protestants sound like the inspiration of God stopped during the era of Paul,peter and the apostles. God's inspiration did not stop with those guys, it continues till this day. That was what Jesus meant when he said he will be with us now and till the end of time. It is preposterous when protestant gas bags take only what is in the bible as absolute truths as if the holy spirit of God isn't still at work inspiring things till this day. God continues to inspire people daily and there are many things God has inspired people to write in 2013 which he never inspired to peter and Paul or other apostles. Get this straight, the bible was not written by God directly, the bible is a collection of stories that happened and written by man. It is erroneous to think that anything not written in the bible isn't from God, this would imply that God has already revealed all things he wants to reveal. So what then is the work of the comforter whom Jesus promised to send??If there is nothing else to reveal, why then is the holy spirit at work? I must emphasise that the bible is not the only source of truth because before the bible was brought into its present form, Christianity had been around for a long time and was being practised without any bible. The early appostles had their traditions which they obeyed and followed, they had meetings or met in councils when they wanted to take any decision. For example, when they wanted to replace Judas Iscariot they prayed before they had their vote and nominated Mathias. They did not need any bible to know their modus-operandi. The bible is only a guide and i repeat does not contain all the truths you should know. It is this same tradition of the apostles the catholic church has continued till today, and that is why we do not teach with the bible alone. We teach by ancient traditions handed over by the apostles and early church fathers, the bible, and the magisterium. And this is only natural because the catholiuc church is the only church senior to the bible, so how can a church senior to the bible teach with the bible alone?? You see, i do not blame you guys for always referring to the bible for everything afterall you guys do not know better, and the bible was actually already in existence before the forming of any other church so it may be understandable if you guys look up to the bible alone, but to expect a church like the catholic church whose traditions pre-existed the compilation of this book to depend solely on it is crass ignorance in gargantuan proportions. In conclusion, i wanted you spiritually vacuous protestants to know that the bible was not some book sent from heaven by God, it was doctored by men and because men are limited in knowledge as compared to God, it can never contain completely all things in God's mind. The mind of God is too vast to be revealed and contained in a book all at once, even all the human generations which will live is too small to comprehend it. The revelations of God didnt stop with those writers, it continues till this day and will continue forever. This is why the early church fathers often met in councils after serious prayers in continuation with apostolic traditions to deliberate on issues and issue church teachings. It is ludicrous to think that just because the bible writers are dead and no more, then we are stuck with only what was written in the bible, and as such all communication lines from/to God have been severed. No human being has the exclusive rights to inspiration, and God can reveal anything to any one and at any time. It is this same sheepish followership most of you protestants display in the way and manner you swallow hook,line and sinker everything your spurious and jet-loving General over seers say because you guys believe he has an exclusive right to God alone. So it is wrong for you to always say "my bible didnt say this or say that" as if anything not found in the bible is wrong. But alas, you protestants will continue to wallow in your ignorance 1 Like |

Re: In Jesus Name, All Knees Bow; In Mary's Name, What Happens? by StOla: 1:24am On Jul 17, 2013 |
naijadeyhia: How do the words of a man Paul qualifying fellow men as saints in a letter translate to the words of God? I suppose the many words of Paul in his many letters, even those that specify the role of women in the church are also words of God? Paul could lie as he was only man and not God, and when did Paul become a prophet relaying only the knowledge revealed by God? I maintain that the saints are in heaven, having achieved eternal life. Not because a church leader addresses one as such in a letter. Even the Catholic or Anglican or Eastern Orthodox conferment of Sainthood is only a mere worldly assertion that in all certainty, the personality lived a life worth emulating, and died in a state of grace to attain eternal life. No more! Celibacy was a choice till it became fully mandatory after the counter reformation I suppose. Even some past Popes were not celibates. Celibacy only takes effect when the oath is made and so does not hinder a widower from taking up priestly ordination. The church will not encourage a married man to abandon his marriage for holy orders. Jesus said, "if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, carry his cross and follow me. It was reported that the rich man who wanted to be counted as righteous went away sad when Christ revealed the need of him to give away his earthly possessions and come follow him. Peter speaking for the disciples said, "what about us, we have forsaken all and have followed thee". I believe you know what Christ's assuring reply to Peter was. If you say Peter was recorded as married, I agree. Was he recorded as actively married while he followed Jesus or while he did work of the gospel? Peter's mother-in-law was healed by Christ, and we also learn from the Acts that his wife devoted herself to Christian work, both reveal that Peter was a married man before he encountered the Lord and gospel work. So the call has been made by Christ, a call the disciples heed, likewise Paul for the gospel sake. So what is the problem with celibacy for the gospel sake? Is marriage a criteria for salvation? Is the denial of the world and the gift of self to total commitment to the gospel not approved by Christ? That you are not selfless enough to make such commitment shouldn't engender a disdain for those who are. The effects of such celibacy is found in the selfless missionary work of the likes of St.Patrick of the British isle, St.Francis Xavier of the Asian far East, and the numerous who freely left their erstwhile homes to journey at great peril and discomfort to preach the gospel. I wouldn't dare forget the great St.Paul. I have mostly had communion without wine, but sometimes with wine. |

naijadeyhia:hmmm in those days priests get married. they only changed it cos of much distraction you know. its a calling, its not by force its a well known sacrifice(not getting married) so its a thing of choice. some rev fathers break that rule by impregnating members. all judgements to God though. i am a catholic. i also honour(respect) mary. i do not worship her. the images on a alter are just images and statues for remembrance blessed by faith. when we bow we do not bow to those images but to the mentioning of Jesus(in silent or aloud). For those who do not honour mary it is not a sin in my opinion but becareful how to make statements about mary(for it was written that she is blessed amongst all women)..... Practise anyhow you do it but in all be righteous, Jesus is the only way to God yes very true but i also need prayers from my friends, mother, father, hevenly beigns and also mary(the woman blessed amongst all women) After much arguement do you think you know it all? do you think you are now holy enough? now you truely deserve heaven? whats the point here? |

The bible did not condemn her but rather the bible praised her. The bible did not condemn her but rather called her blessed. Through her salvation came down. Then why will i call her an empty-vessle. Jehover witness even call her an envelope. all kinds of dirty trash has been said about her in this past few years. she has been a topic of insult. Be very carefull for many will seem right but in actual they are false. Think like a christian and not a hater. |

Catholics always say Mary Gave birth to Jesus who is God and so this makes her the mother of God. But thank God that even God is careful when he uses words because he is a wise God. Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. The word Shall talks about a future occurrence and not the present because Christ must first be born as the son of man and then become the son of God after His death, burial and resurrection . For the king James Bible readers who see the words shall and shalt on the same line do not be confused. Shalt is a more affirmative and immediate situation or demand unlike shall which is a future tense. Revelation is good my catholic brethren and it can only come via the holy spirit who is to lead us into all truth and teach us all things and also show us things to come and also glorify God and not man or dead saints or Mary or the Pope. For more clarity kindly read exodus 20 and note the order God gave the ten commandments and how God carefully chose His words |

naijadeyhia: Catholics always say Mary Gave birth to Jesus who is God and so this makes her the mother of God. But thank God that even God is careful when he uses words because he is a wise God. Matt 14:33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matt 16:16:Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Explain the word "are" to us, the way you explained "shall." Does it also talk about a future occurence...or the present? |

bukatyne: Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Who breastfed that mighty God? You may insult her all you want, I guess its your way of calling her blessed. |
