But i also believe you can't be Spiritually empty. Something must take charge of you.
If you ain't doing God, no matter how you try to remain alone, you'll surely be invited by the antonym (Devil)

MarieSucre:
Here is why I quoted you :-
"Thou shalt not commit adultery", one of the Ten Commandments found at Exodus 20:14
Which is it? Are you a Christian hypocrite or an Atheist? Shikena no too much talk.

effty:
Lies from the pit of hell. Pls kip the history of Catholicism apart from Christianity. Later some idiots will tell me Apostle Peter was the first Bishop of Rome; Peter who never stepped on the soil of Rome. Meanwhile, do you still have indulgences for sale? Guess that is/was a Christian practice?

mariesucre why cant you ignore my comments, is dis a hubby or what, am entitled to my opinion

MarieSucre:


Being entitled to your opinion does not mean that you're immune to criticism.

For instance Pope John Paul is asking all y'all who support adultery and claim to be "christians".

IS IT NOT BETTER TO BE AN ATHEIST THAN A HYPOCRITICAL PILE OF GARBAGE MASQUERADING AS A CHRISTIAN?

I mean you're a christian right? Right? Not just pretending?

Whollop whollop you guys, no need for mud slings and insults, most of these things are in public domain, none was done in a corner.
Lets look at history of the early church from the Apostolic Era to the schism or divisions that gave rise to the different churches now. The early church had the apostles establishing Christian communities as they go about on their missionary work.
There was nothing like Roman Catholic Church or Anglican or Methodist at that time.
See below for some bit of insight.

The original church or community of the East before the schisms comprised:

the Greek communities founded by Saint Paul
the Antiochian, Asia Minor churches founded by Saint Peter
the Coptic (or Egyptian) churches founded by Saint Mark (including the Ethiopian of Africa or Abyssinia). Remember st Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.
the Syrian (or Assyrian), along with the Byzantine, Georgian and Russian churches traditionally founded by Saint Andrew
the Armenian church, as well as the churches of Samaria and Judea traditionally founded by Saint Jude and Saint Bartholomew
the church of Jerusalem founded by Saint James.
The church of Rome by tradition was founded by both Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

So you see these pentarchy or Sees as they were called were established almost in parallel as the church Orthodox organization evolved.
Nothing like St Peter being the first pope and all that. Actually st Paul and st Paul both help to set up the churches in Antioch and then Rome, so they shared the Patriarchy in those domains.
We can look at how the Roman Catholic Church can into being that was after the 1054 AD Ecumenical council.

sanerugwei:

You need to understand that there is a great difference between the Holy Apostolic Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
The later was a fallout of the East West Schism and divisions between authorities in Constantinople and Rome in 1054 AD.
While the former traces its origin from the apostles. It was more of a battle of supremacy between the bisjop of Rome or pope as he was later called and the patriarch of Constantinople.

Below is what has been declared by Vatican Councils and in their Cathachism:
“We define that the Holy Apostolic See and the Roman Pontiff hold primacy over the whole world.” (34)
“All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that he is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope .” (35)
“No one may possess the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Romance language (such as French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), and if anyone possesses them he must turn them over to the local bishop within eight days after the promulgation of this decree, so that they may be burned.” (36)
“The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth …by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth.” (37)
“We confess that the Pope has power of changing Scripture and of adding to it, and taking from it according to his will.” (38)
