Logicboy03: Alright then, how does being a catholic make anyone a Christian? |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 11:19am On Apr 27, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: Catholicism is christianity. If you are a catholic, you are a christian. It like saying someone is a Nigerian and therefore must be African. Dumbf4ck. |

2buff: ...And for example,how does "how solomon ended" affects his being in heaven Just asking though. I though it is not by works and the scripture says "I'll have mercy on whom I will have mercy on" |

Seems the thread is taking a different turn. @op, hope you have been given a satisfactory answer; the thread is getting derailed. |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 11:42am On Apr 27, 2013 |
Logicboy03: Well, if Catholicism is Christianity and Christianity means having the Spirit of Christ, you weren't ever a Catholic either. |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 12:37pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: How do yoou know a catholic? -goes to mass -baptized and confirmed in a catholic church -believes in god and says the credo (the creed) I did all three....therefore, you are a dumbf4ck |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 12:52pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
Logicboy03: Well, if that is what a catholic is, then a catholic is not necessarily a Christian, since a Christian is a human bring who has the Spirit of Christ. I am quite sure though that catholics can be Christians and Christians catholics, but the two are not the same per your definition. Therefore, your doing all three did not make you a Christian. |

Ihedinobi: What is the spirit of christ?. . .We can test this, no?. . .Do you have the spirit of christ?. . .The bible promised those that believe in jesus the ability to do greater things than he(jesus) did, we were told he was a wonderful magicain and miracle worker that went about healing people, including unbelievers. . .If you have the spirit of christ then you should be able to do greater things then he did as promised, no?. . .You should be able to show us that you have the spirit of christ, no?. . . 1 Like |

Ihedinobi: Bookmaking this page and saving this quote. You have become a pharisee So believing in Jesus/God, getting baptised and going to church doesnt make one a christian? Do you know if Jesoul or the pope have the spirit of christ? Can you see the spirit? You prefer to use non-measurable measures to know if someone is a christian abi? Keep judging in your own ignorance, pharisee |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 4:46pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
First of all, Lb, lying does not become you even if stupidity does. You know very well that the definition of the Christian is not of my own making. You know that I only quoted the Bible. So, it is the Bible that you are really calling a Pharisee, not me. Next, it isn't really my trouble whether a person actually has the Spirit of Christ or not. What concerns me is whether how they live their lives matches their claim to have said Spirit if they do make such a claim. That leads on to the final thing I have to say. The same Bible that defines the Christian as one who has the Spirit of Christ also states how we may know that someone may or may not have said Spirit. So, it is quite measurable. But, I'm sure you'll find some reason to disagree. Anyway, it's good to know that all you have to say on the matter is that I'm judging you by examining your claim to Christianity and proving it false. Take care, Lb. EDIT: PS. Lb, believing on or trusting confidently in the Lord Jesus and proving that you agree with and willingly participate in His Cross, that is, agreeing to a total divorce from the world in order to be joined to Christ, by being baptized in the name of Jesus opens the door to the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when one has truly believed (and baptised, although that can happen later), they will be made Christians by the entrance of the Holy Spirit of Christ into them. The Holy Spirit then goes on to confirm their Christianity by the way He makes them behave. |

Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by mazaje(m): 7:32pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
JeSoul: If I may interject briefy...intriguing replies - especially from Obadaiah. This is really pathetic view of life and is actually one of the reasons religious societies never make any meaningful development. . .Why develop or contribute anything to the world, when you believe that the world will end during your life time or because you believe it does not matter at all and is of no importance. . .People prefer to live their lives thinking it doesn't matter while believing a mythical after life that no one has ever or can ever show exist is of more importance. . .Such view of life makes life meaningless and it is truly pathetic. . I actually prefer the prosperity gospel advocates that will tell you that this life is very important and as such you have to enjoy every bit of it and prosper in all you do because prosperity is also part of godliness. . .This "we are just passing by and shouldn't care about this world , because we are not a part of it" brand of christianity is pathetic. . .It leads to nothing but misery. . . |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by ijawkid(m): 7:46pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
mazaje: Prosperity backed up with contentment my bro...as usual what ever the scriptures say is thrash to you,.......if you ever believed in eternal life you would support Jesus' words.......Jesus' words help christians to be balanced with what ever the world has to offer........... What you fail to realize is that the prosperity gospel drives one to materialism and greed ......... The prosperity gospel is what is actually killing nigeria,rather than make it develop... 1 Like |

Logicboy03: He told you a plain truth. "Being a catholic does not MEAN you are a Christian." the same apples to people in other churches. |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by FromGuiriga(m): 9:12pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
Boomark: I will say that the whole of Central and South America will disagree with you. The majority are Catholics and to them to be a Catholic is to be a Christian. I might be wrong but is not Catholicism another denomination of Christianity? Thanks in advance. |

Logicboy03: "Ok, now I'm feeling the 'stupidness'" as King Julian in one of the episodes of Penguins of Madagascar said. Really? An atheist is teaching me the Bible? Even lb? Na wa o. Does the uninitiated presume to teach an acolyte? In what world? Piece of advice: go read my posts again. Your foolishness is showing. |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 9:39pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: Fail. Why cant an atheist teach you the bible. Some of the best pastors and priests became atheists. They would school you anyday on the bible. Dan Barker runs rings around christian apologists with the bible. Furthermore, you were exposed as a pharisee. Self righteous hypocrite judging who is and who isnt a christian based on a failed interpretation of the bible. |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 9:42pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
Furthermore, I was bashing christians even when I was a christian. We catholics truly despise tithing and quick healing schemes of the pentecostals and protestants. You think bible analysis is your ally? You merely adopted it. I was born it, moulded by it. I didnt even read other holy books till I was an adult, by then I was already an atheist! The dark knight |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by mazaje(m): 9:50pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
ijawkid: Firstly, when the stories about Jesus were written the people were under Roman occupation. . .Life was misrable to them and they were expecting a messiah to come and rescue them from the hands of the Romans, hence the view that life didn't matter and the hope for a better life after this one when they die. . .Some of the gospels that didn't make it or were not selected as part of the biblical cannon paints a better picture. . .Masterialism is actually what is driving this world, it leads to competition which leads to a better economy and a better standard of living. . . . The claim that this life is of no value and just something not to bother with but a passage to an after life that remains a myth is pathetic and morally reprehensible. . . |

mazaje: Wrong!!....materialism is what has made the world as debasing as it is......... Life mattered both in the past and now that is why Jesus' words transcends generations......... Even person§ who care less about God can sinÇerely tell you the dÉ-merits of materialism...I just don't know why you've chosen to see no wrong with it just because the teachings of Jesus kicks Àgainst it....... In Nigeria and outside nigeria mÀterialism would always be a bane....it drags any Çount®y baÇk ward and deprives the less priviledged of any opportunity for survival....that iÑsatiable desire for wealth is what has led to our(nigeria) having thieves as politicians,militant§,Çharlatans in churches,yahoo yahoo boys etc........... I hope you do know why the economies of various countries today are crashing..No??........greed and the quest to get richer !!!!....!!!!!!. Jesus' words would always stand the test of time.......... |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 6:46am On Apr 28, 2013 |
ijawkid: this guy is quite foolish. the romans and the jews of Jesus's time didnt see their empires crash? man has always been materialistic. you, ijawkid, do not need the internet...12 years ago, the internet was nothing in naija. stop being materialistic and throw away your computer |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by ijawkid(m): 6:51am On Apr 28, 2013 |
Logicboy03: And you are more fooli§h for not seeing the points of Jesus..... Balance is all we need if not we will always find ourselves in deep sh++t........engaging in different crimes just to make sure we make it....... Why can't you see the good in Jesus' words??..... Nonsense!!!.... |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by Nobody: 6:54am On Apr 28, 2013 |
ijawkid: Jesus? A Jewish guy that got crucified for the loudmouth he was claiming to be the messiah....a messiah that couldnt save himself. Next time, when you are a carpenter son, you dont claim to be a messiah.....Jesus should have learnt to take his own advice on humility. |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by ijawkid(m): 8:34am On Apr 28, 2013 |
Logicboy03: How does Jesus being a messiah amount to him not being humble?...... It seems you don't know what to say or how to refute the words of Jesus.... Has materialism helped our useless country?........ |
Re: Fellow Christians Please Help Me Out. by mazaje(m): 8:48am On Apr 28, 2013 |
ijawkid: The world has never been as peaceful as it is now. . .Things used to be so bad back in the days, read your history book, even your bible says it all. Back in the days people just go about killing each other over nothing. Wars were a daily occurance, a stronger nation can just wake up and enslave its neighbours, their cities were built with walls all round them. . .People were always at war with each other, slavery was acceptable and normal, violence against women was also acceptable, violence against kids(stoning them to death) for wrong doing. . .Human sacrifice etc. . .There was too much vviolence in the past. . . During the time of Jesus the average life span of the common man was about 30 years, violence was way too much. Israel was under a tyranical occupation. . .Now things have changed a lot. . .The desire for wealth is always being with man. . . And that is what has made man prosperous. . .Imagine if every body had this nonsensical view of life that it is all useless or that the world will end very soon. . .There wouldn't have been any meaningful development any where. . . As for the teachings of Jesus standing the test of time , that it self is very false . . .Was it not Jesus that said if some one slaps you turn the other cheek?. . .His statement was made as a pacifist living under occupation. . .Can such a teaching stand the test of time in today's world?. . . |
