I can't believe the amount of contradiction I am reading on this thread. So to defend the pastors , You agree that no system is flawless. But in case of the Catholic priests  that argument does not hold. Celibacy should scraped because some priests could not live up to their vows. Next You would be advocating for polygamous marriages merely on the ground that some spouses are unfaithful.

It is easy to stand and throw stones at the catholic church while keeping the church u attend a secret.



Rotflmao. . .Ironic isn't it? The We're only Human flag is waved when the floodlights are turned on some people but they are so quick to dismiss it when it comes to others.

Yep, Religion for Unity, Peace and Love. . .if Unity, Peace and Love means Division, Condemning others and being blatant Hypocrites and yet the answer to why someone would rather be an atheist continues to puzzle the mind. . .Lol

Fanaticism is an overcompensation for doubt. Jealousy of the RCC will not take you anywhere. We refuse to join the 33,000 anathematized protestant sects.

I don't think that the nail has ever been hit so squarely on the head.  I have my doubts about anyone here's quest for truth.  I think that you are all more concerned (terrified in fact) that the positions that you have taken will be able to withstand the assault of truth and facts.  Why build such a fortress against truth.  Because deep down you all know.  And there is no more point in taking the path of logic/argument/facts for you are too well fortified by faulty reasoning and emotionality.  Really both catholics and protestants are motivated by their emotions.  The emotion of fear to be specific.

Imhotep I respect you and I really don't want that to change.  When someone presents historical facts that you don't agree with what you should do is say, 'right, this fact that you've stated is in fact not true because what happened was this.  Go and read these sources'.  I can respect and appreciate that.  However bringing up the Jewish holocaust?   What the hell has that got to do with anything?  Unless you are trying to demonstrate the parallels with you denying that the orthodox church committed one hell of a frightful holocaust on all the christians that weren't orthodox.  

imhotep:

History can be distorted for political motives. Do you know that some people now deny the Jewish holocaust of World War II Even with all the filmed and photographed evidence??

This comment from you makes me feel like not taking you seriously at all.

imhotep:


These events led to the Great Schism between the Greek (East) and Latin (RCC) churches. This schism still exists. Though some Greek churches have come back to the Latin church. Search for "Eastern Catholic Churches" on google.

I know quite a bit about the great schism my friend.  Did you also know that the schism was almost mended in the 15th century.  I'll tell you what happened?  The Turkish empire was expanding into eastern Europe.  Many cities were falling to the muslims when the greek orthodox church ran to rome to beg the pope to rally the rest of christendom against the muslim invaders.  They negotiated for weeks and eventually the pope agreed to send troops on the condition that the eastern churches accepted the Pope's leadership of all of christendom.  The eastern church leaders accepted because they had no choice, the turks were on their doorstep.  
When they got back to constantinople and declared the outcome of their negotiations it cause street riots.  The people of eastern europe were disgusted at the idea of joining that corrupt, morally bankrupt, materialistic and immoral organisation called the Roman Catholic church.  The riots kept getting worse and worse until the leaders accepted that the people just would not accept the leadership of the pope.  They were too repulsed by the catholic church, that they would rather die by the saracen blade.  
This contempt for the RCC was not only in eastern europe but also in western europe too.  you should read contemporary accounts such as Bocaccio's decameron to see what the man on the street thought of RCC.
Any way that was how Byzantium finally fell to the Islamic sword.  Constantinople became Istanbul and the main church was converted into a mosque.  All because the RCC was such a contemptuous organisation.

The Greek church was almost wiped out because of the divisions existing in the Church. Also check what happened to them during the Russian revolution.

wikipedia:
In the period between 1927 and 1940, the number of Orthodox Churches in the Russian Republic fell from 29,584 to less than 500. Between 1917 and 1935, 130,000 Orthodox priests were arrested. Of these, 95,000 were put to death, executed by firing squad
See => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Orthodox_Church#Russian_revolution


Now you want to create more divisions in the RCC. We know your type. You are interested in the diabolical method of 'divide and rule'. You are on your own.


The RCC will continue to inspire awe and envy in protestants like you. However, you MUST learn to live with it.

Why not look at the splinters within protestantism. Remember the magic number => 33,000.
Your own sect will splinter and divide before the year 2050, like all other sects.

You protestants should mend your ways. We are not moved by biased historical studies and biblical misquotes. 2,000 years of RCC history is not a joke.

Re: Pope Is 'Deeply Ashamed' Of Pedophile Priests by Lady2(f): 9:33pm On Apr 18, 2008
I suppose that city of sin and heresy knew more than Apostle Paul who said this - 1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.




So the Pastors wey don marry, how dem go control the burn? Make dem marry again?
Re: Pope Is 'Deeply Ashamed' Of Pedophile Priests by Lady2(f): 9:35pm On Apr 18, 2008
I'm sorry but Lady's question is not thought provoking but is as old as 2000yrs. Even Christ had 12 disciples and 1 was a devil. How much more mere pastors who are but flesh and blood like you and me.
Apostle Paul said - Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Pastors are humans too and prone to fall into error.

But the Priests aren't. No be women wey born pastor born Priest?
It is alright for the Pastors to do it and then say that I am only human. Na which planet wey Priest come from then?

Look at the hypocrisy.
Re: Pope Is 'Deeply Ashamed' Of Pedophile Priests by Lady2(f): 9:38pm On Apr 18, 2008
Ironically, after I posted my reply this very said predicament came to mind, You beat me to it.  Very good illustration. It more or less dealt with the issue that she raised

No it didn't.
Since Pastors are human and Priests are not. Let us assume that Priests are allowed to marry and then they commit the same sin, my dear is that when they will become human?
What then is the issue? If at celibacy they can't contain it and at marriage they can't contain it either, what then is the cause?

My dear ask the Holy Spirit for guidance on this issue. Hypocrisy is condemned by God.


Just for you to know, the Priests live their life as the apostles did. They are not to be of this world but are to pack their bags and do the will of God. They're to live their life at the mercy of others. Yes they are homeless and wherever they are directed by the Spirit they are to go.
1 Corinthians 4: 10 - 13

10 We are fools on Christ's account, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are held in honour, but we in disrepute
11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clad and roughly treated, we wander about homeless
12 and we toil, working with our hands. When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
13 when slandered, we respond gently. We have become like the world's rubbish, the scum of all, to this very moment.

They are to devote themselves to God and none other. They are to please the Lord and the Lord alone. They are to be concerned with the Lord's work and the Lord's work alone.

1Corinthians 7: 32-35
32 I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.
33. But the married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
34 and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand, is anxious about the things og the world, how she may please her husband
35. I am telling you this for your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but for the sake of propriety and adherence to the Lord without distraction.

There is nothing wrong with your pastors that marry. There are people who serve in the Catholic Church that are married, but the Church is asking that its Priests abstain so as to not be concerned with the world or with pleasing a woman or anyone else, but to be completely devoted to the Lord, both in body and in spirit.
There is nothing wrong in that.

If I choose today that I want to be concerned only for God and devote my entire body and soul to him without reserve for any man, there is nothing wrong with that. The Priests and Nuns choose to do so and there is nothing wrong with that. Those who fall short, do so because of the weak spirit not because they cannot marry. Pastors too fall because of the weak spirit not because they were married.
Re: Pope Is 'Deeply Ashamed' Of Pedophile Priests by Lady2(f): 10:19pm On Apr 18, 2008
Fine, but when you can show me that in the bible get back to me, k?  And if there truly is a relationship between the living and the dead, do you pray to ex-popes, Mother Theresa and other famous catholics who in your view would qualify as Saints? Secondly, do you pray to your deceased loved ones who you believe are in heaven?

I surely will. I posted something earlier about it, but didn't go into explanation of it, the relationship between the living and the dead. I am at work right now and don't have enough time to go into details, but trust me it's coming.

Huney, asking me for something is very differenct from asking God. We are in two seperate realms. You could ask me to pray TO God but you cannot pray to me AS God. Thats the difference.

Suga, I'm gald you see my point.  wink

To us
Don't you think its important to ascertain that its the same to GOD? If you ask me, the best way to do that is to check the bible

I don't quite understand you here. What are you replying to? I only see you quoted "To Us" please elaborate. Thanks.

Thanks, how are you?

but i'd like to advise you to ignore some persons, particularly cgift for obvious reasons.
the guy does not know the difference between study and wallowing in ignorance

Honestly last night, I was just thinking and my mind was drawn to this board. I thought of cgift and 4Him and I shook my head. Must hatred be given space to roam?
I honestly thought that maybe these guys couldn't comprehend what I post, but I noticed something when I logged on and saw 4Him's excuse for the Pastors who commit adultery, and I said, this guy knows what he's doing. He's not out to spread the gospel, but out to destroy the beautiful Unity in the body of Christ. He speaks with hatred, arrogance, pride, and ignorance. I can only pray for him.
As for cgift, well I won't even bother responding to his posts, because he will be forced to respond to mine and then he will truly be ridiculed.
If you are a true scholar, you will come with hard facts, you will go into details and give thorough explanations for your points. You won't point blame and make a half point.

*Imhotep, I do have to say this to you though, in ur postings be thorough and detailed. Though they come with hatred, meet them with love. Even if it means you have to explain things using the A B C's (A is for apple, B is for boy) do so. There are others reading this thread and they too also learn from it. Never miss an opportunity to educate someone. Knowledge is power, education is key.
Also please stop bringing in the 33,000 sects. If they ask you a question, answer it, WITH FACTS, trust me they are in the Bible, ask the Lord for guidance and he will ALWAYS guide you. Don't resort to speaking about them. I know it's hard but you must not become like them to bash them. There are those that aren't protestant and they ask the same questions, so just answer them* GOD IS OUR GUIDE!!!!

Birds of a feather! Maybe you are doing selective reading. What other fact do you want from me. I have told you just a little of what transpires in the seminaries and some of the books they use for their theology. I even gave you the name of the author and an excerpt from the book. What else do you want? Why cant you just go and get the book or liaise with ur priests to authenticate my submissions? Are you afraid? Or is it hard for you to believe that they allow fornication about once or twice a month among the priests? Again, St. Liguori said in his book (see, he has been canonised grin). Yes. St. Alphonsus Liguori) that a priest that falls (into fornication) once a month may be excused, i.e., twelve (12) times year, he will be excused. Some married people self no do reach 10 times a year. So who is deceiving whom?

Get it staright, the devil has laid a serious trap for your leaders. Infact, they are dining and whinning with him. So what sort of tutoring can one expect from someone who is not even charged with extreme moral expectations by his boss or bishop of pope?

Now are you not the one subjecting yourself to ridicule taking the whole thing as war? I am not fighting you lady. Just be at peace and take things objectively. I have given you a position, counter it. Simple.


Do you care i take you through where your popes have committed your souls to the hands of mary of the apparition (i call her mary of the apparitions and not of the bible) as against committing your precious souls to the hands of Christ? Do you care?

Pope deeply ashamed?
I'm even ashamed too and I pray that Pope will carry his threats of dealing with the Priests involved to deter others.

Catholic Priests are not the only anointed men of God that commits this crime, it's also common among Pastors.
To be fair, the Priests are trying because for a young man to stay years without a woman is not all that easy.
They are human beings and so can fall but the problem is to fall and remain down.

I know a lot of good Catholic Priests and we should not condemn all because of a few.
Christians should stop fighting among themselves, be it Catholicism or Protestantism.
It's one Christian and no group should claim of being better than the other.
Protestants still have their own problems even worst if I may say.
Re: Pope Is 'Deeply Ashamed' Of Pedophile Priests by cgift(m): 5:09pm On Apr 21, 2008
zigam,

too many things are fundamentally wrong with the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) not just pedophile priests. Countless things. Where do we want to begin. I have always charged them, list the ten commandments of the bible as we have it in the RCC. Na lie! Dem go run. They wont tell you the truth. But let me limit it to the topic at hand. Their priests dont feel any form of corruption or sin when they infact commit these sexual sins. They are excused according to the great theologian and author, whom they have canonized and his books used in teaching the priests. They have legitimized sin only for the Priests whom at the same time they call creators of Jesus especially during the Eucharists. Priests? When you see one run! They are wolves in sheep's clothings!

This is not hatred. I have got nothing to gain by hating. I am just saying what is. People should not believe me. They should check it out for themselves. I beg catholics, (sincere ones at that) to understudy priests. Go to their library and see if you can see a book called the Dignitiy & Durties of the Priests. There you will see heresy! Corruption! what else?

Make i take cover i beg!

No, no Cgift, how could you say they have legitimized sin when their leader Pope felt ashamed?
Their Pope did not clap or encourage those Priests.
You see, you too must be careful because I have not seen any Catholic faithfuls or Priests that says sin is proper.
I have a lot of friends there who are good Christians and sometimes I worship with them because my wife to be is a Catholic.

I also have a lot of protestant friends who are good Christians.
In fact there was a crusade organised by Catholics and their Priests were outstanding that very day.
Their preachings were based in bible and they weren't interested in stage miracles or material things.
That's why I love them most. though they still have their own faults.
Besides, I still love some Protestant Pastors and the way they preach yet they still have their own faults.

No, no Cgift, how could you say they have legitimized sin when their leader Pope felt ashamed?
Their Pope did not clap or encourage those Priests.
You see, you too must be careful because I have not seen any Catholic faithfuls or Priests that says sin is proper.

I sympathize with you. Do you know what it is to call someone a wolf in sheep's clothing? They say one thing and do another. You wont expect him to declare that in public would you.? Just take a deep and independent search to a priest or a RCC reverend father. Request for the sources i have mentioned above. Ask him for the book and that you would like to read it that you want to understand more about the office of the Priest. Watchout for his reaction.

Why is it that Catholcis on this forum have had a hard time debunkering my claims. If someone convincingly debunks my claim (as one ~lady~ has promised. I promise i will stop posting anything against catholics on this forum and i mean it.

zigam:

i think you may be safe because she is not likely to know the power play and core missions of the Vatican authorities. But ensure you deliver her from the marian apparitions and messages. They are of the devil not God.

Correct. Every man is got faults. But some faults are self-made like these catholic doctrines. They are not just faults. They are herecies. Herecies are not faults. They are demonic and satanic. How can someone say that Mary is the Saviour of his people and the subjects/followers too are comfortable with that? Lord have mercy!

Keep quiet and go and reconcile your 33,000 sects. Especially those that are blending bible and juju. Take the logs out of your eye.
Re: Pope Is 'Deeply Ashamed' Of Pedophile Priests by Lady2(f): 7:40pm On Apr 21, 2008
Hope you have not lost sleep. Please take things lightly. It does not call for all these you are putting  yourself through.


No I have not. I don't loose sleep, especially over someone hateful. I let God deal with it. Besides I don't know you or 4Him. I just marvel at such ignorance.

You are taking things too far. You remind me of this statement: Have i become they enemy because i speak the truth?


TRUTH according to whom, me or you? You forget that the Muuuuslims believe they hold the truth. Should their truth then be considered truth? Seriously man, get off your high horse.

Birds of a feather! Maybe you are doing selective reading

No I don't. Check my posts and you will see that I don't.

What other fact do  you want from me. I have told you just a little of what transpires in the seminaries and some of the books they use for their theology. I even gave you the name of the author and an excerpt from the book. What else do you want? Why can't you just go and get the book or liaise with your priests to authenticate my submissions? Are you afraid? Or is it hard for you to believe that they allow fornication about once or twice a month among the priests? Again, St. Liguori said in his book (see, he has been canonised  ). Yes. St. Alphonsus Liguori) that a priest that falls (into fornication) once a month may be excused, i.e., twelve (12) times  year, he will be excused. Some married people self no do reach 10 times a year. So who is deceiving whom?

I want you to actually hold a discussion without your personal motives. I also want you to open your eyes and stop being hypocritical. I also want you to do your research before you speak. I also want you to stop judging. I also want you to stop thinking of yourself as holder of the truth, because you don't hold it.
Other than you engaging in a discussion like a sane person, I want nothing from you.

I have looked up the book and I will finish reading it, so far, nothing you mentioned is true.

Get it staright, the devil has laid a serious trap for your leaders. Infact, they are dining and whinning with him. So what sort of tutoring can one expect from someone who is not even charged with extreme moral expectations by his boss or bishop of pope?

No one dubbed you holder of the truth. You are human and are highly flawed. Why should I believe you?
You have proven yourself a hypocrite, why should I believe you?
You have labeled yourself as judge and are therefore playing God, why should I even engage in a discussion with you who challenge God's position?


Now are you not the one subjecting yourself to ridicule taking the whole thing as war? I am not fighting you lady. Just be at peace and take things objectively. I have given you a position, counter it. Simple.

You have been countered MANY times, but still hold yourself as God and holder of the truth. Now who is blind?
No you're not fighting me but you are fighting with God's anointed.

Do you care i take you through where your popes have committed your souls to the hands of mary of the apparition (i call her mary of the apparitions and not of the bible) as against committing your precious souls to the hands of Christ? Do you care?

Ofcourse your conspiracy theories. Why should I engage in a discussion with you again? When you cannot provide simple proof of Catholics Worshipping Mary? Or Praying in Mary's name? Or worshipping a saint?

I have always charged them, list the ten commandments of the bible as we have it in the RCC. Na lie! Dem go run

When have you done so, and when did we run? Don't lie dear, it's a sin. You wouldn't want to be called a sinner since you're palying God now would you?
Don't forget that the same ten commandments in your Bible are in ours. If you don't agree with ours, then chuck yours.

Their priests don't feel any form of corruption or sin when they infact commit these sexual sins.

Because you are their "feelings"

Make i take  cover i beg!

don't take cover, stand your ground and shame yourself.

They say one thing and do another

Just as you say one thing and do the other.

Why is it that Catholcis on this forum have had a hard time debunkering my claims. If someone convincingly debunks my claim (as one ~lady~ has promised. I promise i will stop posting anything against catholics on this forum and i mean it.


No one has a hard time. I have debunked the claims by many Protestants. I have been unbiased and laid EVERYTHING out. I stuck to my promise, you have not.
I have answered every question, but protestants have either dodged me or twisted my words. I have noticed something, and yes it seems to be a trend. When I debunk something from a protestant, he moves on to the next Catholic and ignores my posts and flat out refuses to answer my questions. I have kept my promise and I tirelessly defend my faith. It has been proven to you.

But o how I wish this forum was not monitored and posts were not deleted at will (and yes I said at will).

Cgift, if I start with you, you WILL run, that is a promise.

Latter Day Saints
Main articles: Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism
Most Latter Day Saint denominations are derived from the Church of Christ established by Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1830. The majority of "Prairie Saint" denominations were established after the death of Smith by the remnants of the saints who did not go west with Brigham Young. The Rocky Mountain denominations are various sects who broke from the LDS Church after its abandonment of polygamy in 1890. Other denominations are defined by either a belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet, or acceptance of the Book of Mormon as scripture. Mormonism is generally considered distinct from mainstream Protestantism and is more akin to restorationism in believing that Smith restored the original Church of Christ to the Earth.

@cgift
Nice to know that I made you laugh.  grin grin

Now, please, go and reconcile these sects. There is a famous chinese saying ->
"Lord, reform your world, starting with me"

I suggest you start by reconciling these sects with this =>


John 17:20-21

20 "I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,

21 so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.

No I have not. I don't loose sleep, especially over someone hateful. I let God deal with it. Besides I don't know you or 4Him. I just marvel at such ignorance.

Again, i'm not hateful. Its just that i am not being economical with my position and that now sounds hateful right? Pardon me.

~Lady~:

TRUTH according to whom, me or you? You forget that the Muuuuslims believe they hold the truth. Should their truth then be considered truth? Seriously man, get off your high horse.

Well, the last time i checked, the truth was not in the Vatican. It has never been there even let alone saying it has left.

~Lady~:

I want you to actually hold a discussion without your personal motives. I also want you to open your eyes and stop being hypocritical. I also want you to do your research before you speak. I also want you to stop judging. I also want you to stop thinking of yourself as holder of the truth, because you don't hold it.

Ok. No personnal motives. No reason to have such at all. I have no one in Catholic church or something. They have done me no wrong personally, so no hidden motives other than for me to state my position and analyze objectively.

~Lady~:

Other than you engaging in a discussion like a sane person, I want nothing from you.

ntakiri ntakiri (small small) biko. Dont get abusive. I see no reason why you should start abusing personalities on the forum. smiley Be gentle like a gentle[b]~lady~[/b]

I have looked up the book and I will finish reading it, so far, nothing you mentioned is true.

For your courage to get the book, i must commend you. I do hope you have the full copy and not edited for the laity only? grin. If you do find those words therein, what would you do? Just wondering?

~Lady~:

No one dubbed you holder of the truth. You are human and are highly flawed. Why should I believe you?
You have proven yourself a hypocrite, why should I believe you?
Me? When? How? Moreover, please dont believe me. Check the facts out yourself. Why should you believe me. Thank god you have the book like you claimed. Its good when people search things for themselves. Some however, even after discovering those hitherto hiddne facts, still prefer to remian in their vomits. You understand what I mean?

~Lady~:

You have labeled yourself as judge and are therefore playing God, why should I even engage in a discussion with you who challenge God's position?

Dont read into my mouth what i have not said. if you want to go biblical, its God that said the righteous judges all things. Not to digress, i am not judging. Its like saying that participants in a debate arer judging themselves. I see this whole thing as a debate where we seek to establish the correct position right? Are ewe in the same game then? You might have better proofs than i do and make me surrender. I am open. It could go either way. Can you see that i am sane at least? wink

~Lady~:

You have been countered MANY times, but still hold yourself as God and holder of the truth. Now who is blind?
No you're not fighting me but you are fighting with God's anointed.

I am sure as we progress in the discussion, certain opinions you have held till this time will start changing.

~Lady~:

Ofcourse your conspiracy theories. Why should I engage in a discussion with you again? When you cannot provide simple proof of Catholics Worshipping Mary? Or Praying in Mary's name? Or worshipping a saint?
Well, i cant remember engaging you in any discussion on the above so far. I just met you recently dear catholic rose. wink I can hoever establish the fact that your popes believe and have professed it openly that mary is your saviour. Is she not the glory of the people of Israel as you have in the , what is that thing called sef?

~Lady~:

When have you done so, and when did we run? Don't lie dear, it's a sin. You wouldn't want to be called a sinner since you're palying God now would you?
Don't forget that the same ten commandments in your Bible are in ours. If you don't agree with ours, then chuck yours.

Moving closer to the furnace.

~Lady~:

No one has a hard time. I have debunked the claims by many Protestants. I have been unbiased and laid EVERYTHING out. I stuck to my promise, you have not.
I have answered every question, but protestants have either dodged me or twisted my words. I have noticed something, and yes it seems to be a trend. When I debunk something from a protestant, he moves on to the next Catholic and ignores my posts and flat out refuses to answer my questions. I have kept my promise and I tirelessly defend my faith. It has been proven to you.

Dont worry. I wont ignore your posts neither can i twist your words.

~Lady~:

But o how I wish this forum was not monitored and posts were not deleted at will (and yes I said at will).

I wish so too.

~Lady~:

Cgift, if I start with you, you WILL run, that is a promise.
Lets dance. wink
