damerry: for me, it's Not a big deal. My top priority is to make Heaven, what happens to the Body after death is Meant to be, there is nothing you can do about it. besides, have instincts never taught you dat there are questions you don't just ask? *Leaves thread*
.

sorry if that offends you, just wanted to know your view.

So tell me if you have some relics at home, which of the saints they belong to and what have been your experience using them in your prayers?

When next you are in church, ask the priest to show you the church's relic at the altar

Now you see?, you should thank me for that free info.
what is anti-catholic in exposing catholic traditions?
That's my post, there's Nothing to thank you for. Exposing catholic traditions is not anti-catholic, but criticizing our traditions calling it paganism, ( your post up there attest to this, if you like, modify it) demonic and not feeding readers of this topic with EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION about what veneration of relics entails makes you anti-catholic, what you obviously did here was to post images that could scare people off their faith, you said our veneration of relics is pagansim and since EVERY CATHOLIC ALTAR HAS A RELIC WHICH ATTEST TO PAGANISM (as you claimed) what becomes of our holy mass? you supported this with citations from the bible that condemn idolatry and paganism, dude always remember this THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH OF GOD.

Relics are not meant to be kept at home for selfish interests and desires, they are meant for veneration in churches, chapels and other religious arenas. I look forward to your next anti-catholic topic. I'm done here.

Thanks (it's not *every*, refer to my previous post). But it's obvious you created this topic to cause backslides in Faiths of the gullible faithfuls of catholicism, what reaction do u expect from a simpleton who had read your derogatory write up and post? What ecstasy do u derive from doing that? If u're a pastor elsewhere and you desire catholic apostates you're giving yourself a deceit, no hard feelings, we have to do what is right.
Re: Catholism- Focus On Relics by superior1: 9:27pm On Aug 09, 2013
In Roman Catholicism, some relics are considered incorruptible if after death a body is seen to be physically intact, generally seen as a sign that the individual is a saint.


One of such relic is the tongue of Anthony of Lisbon

Re: Catholism- Focus On Relics by superior1: 9:30pm On Aug 09, 2013
That tongue (if really it is ) looks incorruptible, right?

Isaiah 46:7

They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.

Re: Catholism- Focus On Relics by damerry(m): 10:28pm On Aug 09, 2013
When the Roman Catholic Church recognized
incorruptibles, a body was not deemed
incorruptible if it had undergone an
embalming process or other means of
preserving the dead, or if it has become stiff,
as do all normal corpses, even when the
best preservation techniques are used
(though some artificially preserved bodies,
such as that of St Margaret of Cortona, were
recognized by as Incorruptibles by mistake
when records of their preservation were
lost.)2 Incorruptible saints are claimed to
remain completely flexible, as if they were
only sleeping. Besides, INCORRUPTIBILITY IS NO LONGER COUNTED AS A MIRACLE IN THE RECOGNITION OF A SAINT (i believe you saw this statement wherever you got this incorruptibility post from, but you however refused to include it in your post because it doesn't tally with what you trying to voice)

final word for superior1.. show me a catholic who worships those incorruptible bodies and i will show you an idol worshiper. The crawlings and other gestures in the above images are in line with tradition which was either used to HONOUR or CANONIZE. thats --NOT WORSHIP--. Please learn to accept defeat and stop providing alibis wink

Crawling is part of honour but not worship, right?
Point noted sir!

Re: Catholism- Focus On Relics by brainpulse: 11:29am On Aug 17, 2013
This is the height and peak of IDOL worshiping. The devil's antics, he paints things to look as its real and from God to deceive those that are not led by the spirit of God. This is never the message of Christ, this is never what Christ told us to do. Surely this is not of God or from God, its pathetic, discouraging and disappointing.

Why do people always find ways to accommodate and tolerate cornily things that are glaringly wrong to paint it as right.

You don't have to see it in the write-ups, what do you see in the pictures? See dictionary meaning of worship

Am not interested in letting you see the truth because it is obvious from all your comments from the past three days, that you adored and will do anything and everything that will uphold your religious inclination even if not from the WORD of God and are based on man's originated doctrines and lies. Ask the spirit of God, remove religious blindness and go into the presence of the Lord in truth and in Spirit. Leave all this relics and etc it wont guarantee your Holiness and righteousness without which NO ONE shall see the LORD.
