all you folks saying idol worship are just ignorant. read 1Kings you will see where God instructs King Solomon to make special images for the temple he is building for him.
God is not against images. He is against the worship of images. there are many passages in the Bible where God instructed for these images to be made. symbolism has been a part of the Church's tradition from the early history. so its not a new thing.
without the Catholic Church, there would be no christianity or Bible. the Catholic Church is where the tradition and practices of the early Christians are deposited. you guys have the Bible. that's all. the Bible is a compilation of some of the writings of the early church fathers most of whom are disciples. but there is more and that more can only be found in the Catholic church.

It's either u left ur brain in ur mothers womb or it was cut along with ur umbilical cord. Isreal is isreal mumu.. Jew's are Jew's... So the original Israelites what happened to them, they dumped their name and decided that others should inherit their name......u r a lunatic....

dederocs:

Am quoting from the bible here, are u a kid or Just ignorant.

osmoseas:
oooh now I get you, well symbolism has always been instrumental to the teachings of the Roman Catholics, so therefore I was contracted to erect the statue at a strategic position in the church (Christ the King catholic chaplaincy) which is situated directly adjacent to the Owerri mosque.

Opakan2:
Idol worshipping

As a Christian, you shouldn't use images, crucifix or d likes in worship. it's no longer christianity if you do
So many false doctrines in the world now

How about the two cherubims that was sculpted on top of the ark of the covenant??

osmoseas:
Exodus 25:18-22. even the ark had an image!

osmoseas:
The churches have been kind enough to patronise us in the past few years, and grateful we are. Yet our satisfaction will indeed come when Nigerians will become fully aesthetically aware of their living environment and artistically literate! Till then, we ll keep pushing...

lovelygurl:



Wtf?! Todays Israelites are whites but then they had ARAB skin. Most places mentioned in the Bible were ARAB countries infact Germania todays Germany was 1 of their enemies. Arabs aren't BLOND WITH BLUE EYES

Everything was done according to God's instruction and the ark of covenant could only be accessed by the priest. They NEVER worshipped the ark but carry it along to signifies God's presence in time of battle.

The question here is that: Is the image (Jesus's or Mary's) made cos it was instructed by God?

Mind you, for every images or construction built by the prophets e.g Noah's ark, ark of covenant, Solomon's temple etc, God gave them detailed dimensions of what he had in mind in terms of length, breath, height etc.


Now, can you categorically tell us that the image before us was built cos God instructed them?

africanusvu:
,U won a contract to give them a stature of Jesus and u gave them a statue wit the face of EMPEROR POMPEI.so.as a catholic u ar.does that face represent wat u av as face of Jesus.yet the chaplain didnt notice that

vatiqan:


What and where exactly were you quoting from? I'm now ready to face you.

dederocs:

Monkey,u Never read the 10 commandments,or you Just dont know the meaning of 'graven images'... Thou shall not bow down to Any graven images...well í dont blame you, most of you dont read the bible yourself,you Only go through church bulletins.

ReubenE:

It's being blond and black the same thing?

osmoseas:
Well is OK, I don't the religion you are into but if you are actually a Christian, I don't really think these things should worry you. else Christ coming will amount to nothing if after all we still feel inferior to the whites. Ephesians 3:6, John 2:2, Acts 10:34-35. and so many verses in the bible were explicit enough for a Christian to know where he stands. and talking about slavery, history already shows that slavery is a cultural practice that permeates every race, even in our place, before the whites our were already engaged in the trade of humans; someone like King Jaja of Opobo was sold not to whites but to a black man, and thee exists other instances. thanks again anyway let me get to work

femi4:
Images where? Can you elucidate?

ReubenE:
Why do you want Christ to be black? Maybe you should give birth to him in Lagos.
Common logic should tell you that Christ is an Israelite, and Israeli citizens are white people. Though there may be blacks in the mix, but the first impression is that he is a white man because Israel is a white man's country. Except you want to rewrite the bible to prove he is black.

Just like we Nigerians are first described as people from a black nation before the white minority, Israelites are whites before any other considerations.

I'm sorry if I sounded offensive. Just angry at some comments here. People should just learn to respect others and their beliefs

VeecThorr:

Lel... . Isrealis are brown people, they're basically living in a desert. With that intense heat and little to no protective gear, Jesus would have been as burnt as the bottom of jollof rice.
