woky: @ Enigma

instead of derailing, why cnt you creat a thread on "papal infallibility"

Enigma: The above post is a misrepresentation of a number of things.

1. Looong before Luther, the Roman Catholic Church had been excommunicating people all over the place. So, it was in fact the "father" that was "disowning the children" all over the place.

2. It was not the mistake of a "few" popes anything. The whole papacy thing had become unbelievably corrupt and a whole lot of popes were not only corrupt but much much worse than that!

3. Every Assembly of true believers is the true Church of God; they do not need any "popes". It is because they know their freedom in Christ that they do not need any "popes" that the Roman Catholic Church which wants to enslave them calls them anathema for rejecting the "authority" of the "pope".

4. The Eastern Church does not recognise supremacy even among themselves; what they have always had and recognised is primacy. They have always called all their patriarchs and even bishops "popes" --- so even today they have more than one "pope". It was from them that the Roman Catholics took over the word "pope". They did not and do not recognise the "supremacy" of the Roman Catholic "pope".

5. And the Church of Christ is still one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church; it consists of all Christians of all times and of all places; it does not need any "popes" because Jesus Christ is its Head.

Enigma: @ Candour

I'm afraid no email has come through. In fact I saw a message from Nairaland and I replied with my email; did you see that?

Ukuts gp: the catholic like running their mouth like tap. Why mentioning luther at all. Is luther responsible for this? Why nt the pope

Candour: @Demain_man @Units go

There are no 2 Holy Spirits my brothers. What we have are thousands of greedy men and women who lust after one thing and one thing only: Mammon and they'll do anything to get it including lying using the name of the Holy Spirit. There are no perfect churches anywhere. What we have is a perfect body of Christ and its component parts can be found in virtually all denominations. We must endeavour to always recheck with the bible to verify whatever it is we hear from our pulpits.

A lot of pulpits are occupied by criminals worse than armed robbers. That is why Christ asked us to take heed lest we be deceived.

God bless and enrich you in your honest search for the truth in his word.

@Enigma, my bros, I sent u a mail. Pls reply. Thanks

Mintayo:
True.
We have just one Holy Spirit,Christain shld get close to the word of God and let the Spirit of God lead the,we have so many wolves parading as MOG.
The Holy Spirit inspired the Word of God,He will never say anything contrary to the Word of God,He will never say anything aside what He inspired.
May God help us.

italo: Amazing!

The same people that have been telling me to leave the Catholic Church and join their "churches" are now saying their Pastors and GOs are "greedy men," "criminals," "armed robbers."

Thank God I never followed them.

Ukuts gp: There are so many teachings and doctrines taught by pastors, evangelist, bishop, prophet and even the pope that are so confusing and does nt match with the scripture. Each pastors and what have you have their own teaching about a particular subject in the bible yet they all claim that their teaching was inspired by the holyspirit.

For example pastor chris oyakhilome teaches that self-service is not a sin yet another pastor will preach that it is a sin yet both of them will claim that they were inspired by the holyspirit.

Also some pastors will say u must pay ur tithe and another will preach that no need for tithe yet both pastors will claim that they receive the inspiration from the holyspirit.
Now, are there more than one holyspirit that inspire different teaching on one particular subject? Is the holyspirit the author of confusion? I doubt. There must be something wrong cos there is only one holyspirit. And i am nt sure if he is d one inspiring them to contradict themselves.

This is why i ask the question, are there more than one holyspirit. If the answer is no. Why are pastors, evangelist, bishops, prophet, arch bishops, double prophets and the pope are contradicting themselves.

Ukuts gp: I think most of the catholic doctrines cannot be inspired by the holyspirit, they just formulate it.

Ukuts gp: stop deceiving urself, is ur pope perfect?

Ukuts gp: There are false teachers everywhere parading themselves as servants of God but thank God that the church i attends follow strictly the word of God. But as for the catholic it is obvious that they follow tradition nt God.

Demain_man:
You have too many questions, you must be a confused christian like many other confused christians.

Yes, there are as many holy Spirits as there are churches and religion body. Holy Spirit = Doctrine
No two churches can have the same Holy Spirit unfortunately.

Holy Spirit is simply your inner mind, your convictions, your beliefs.

Wetin your mind tell you is holy Spirit

Elantracey: did ah just see dis...sorry am amazed at ur ignorance...dere is only one holy spirit and he is the spirit of God. God cannot have two spirits...
