chikachuks1 gave reasons why Anglicans celebrate ash Wednesday. I still don't understand why some Catholics go shook mouth for mata wen no concern dem. The writer was specific, precise about his knowledge he didn't dig deep because he doesn't have enough information about other Orthodox churches celebrating this ritual. If the article had said why do Christians celebrate ash Wednesday then those critics would have had something reasonable to say |

Anglican Church is one of the most confused church in the world. There is no uniformity in their doctrine. Some Anglican Churches in Nigeria here, just started observing Ash Wednesday few years ago while some still don't observe it. The same thing with other doctrines they copied from Catholic. Please Anglicans let there be uniformity in your doctrine and stop copying other people's doctrine and tradition. 1 Like |

Jamesrock:You lack the ability to respond to article been posted. In fact you can't even comprehend the author's article at all. This has nothing to do with history because op was specific in his assertion about ash Wednesday. |

lucky4west: Your overall point about prioritizing inner rebirth over outward expressions is well noted. Do you have any evidence that Catholics or Orthodox churches emphasize physical signs and activities without an inward/inner re-generation? I hope you know that hearsay doesn't count as evidence. Good evidence would be a video of a Priest emphasizing physical signs and activities over inner regeneration, or a book or article written by a spokesperson of the Church that supports the claim you make. Given the long history of the Catholic Church, there are thousands of books written by Church Fathers and clergy that you can refer to for support of your claims. |

orazx:Sorry if you feel attacked, but the essence of my comment is not hinged on Catholicism but on scriptural authority that Christians should have for every practice. I am not a saint but I believe Christians should have strong-rooted scriptural admonition that should warrant our actions or in-actions. In view of the above, I also agree with you that the above highlighted should not find its way in the Christian fold as part of worship. But practices like anniversaries and fund raising should be a private affair which should not have any worshipful undertone. We never heard nor read of the early church practicing all these yet their worship was well received by God. So why the icing on the cake today in worship? |

edoairways:You are just being ignorant, Stop talking about things you know nothing about. How can you one who professes to be a Catholic not be a catholic? |

From the above scriptures, fast was criticized for the spreading of ash and a true picture was painted in the subsequent verses. |

MiddleDimension: like I told you, many things have changed However, ash Wednesday with all the observances of Easter are rooted in paganism. In fact, Christianity is mostly based upon pagan worship. |
Re: Meaning Of Ash Wednesday And Why Anglicans Celebrate It by MiddleDimension: 10:32pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
donnie: things like what have changed? when i pointed it out to you clearly from the bible that to pass the message of non condemnation, non judgement and non exclusion from the fold that is saved based on their religious affiliation, Jesus used the dream to show to peter and by extension to show to you, Donnie and your master Oyakhs. in the dream, he lowered and sheet and on it, there were animals considered unclean to the jews. of course you know that the animals refer to the gentiles who are considered by the jews to be unclean. he told peter "kill and eat". in other words, accept it without the feeling that you are doing wrong. and he said "nothing unclean has ever crossed my lips". in other words, i will not accept it because it is wrong to accept it; or that "light and darkness have nothing in common", like you all would say when considering the babalawo or the muslims. and then Jesus told him... do not consider unclean what i have already made clean. the emphasis is on the word ALREADY. this is before Cornelius ever knew Jesus or heard of him. and he had already given him the inward grace that comes with baptism; the inward grace of declaring him as his son. and only those who believe in jesus can be called sons of god, right?he already believed in jesus even without knowing him without having heard of him. no wonder his sacrifices even in the pagan shrine offered in front of 'idols', as you call it, was accepted by god. go back and read cornelius' story again. so you don't listen to Oyakhs when he tells you that though Cornelius was a good man, but he wasn't saved and that god had to send peter to him for him to be saved. because the truth remains that Jesus had already declared him justified even before he ever heard of jesus. these are not my words. i saw them in your bible when i was one of you. the sending of peter wasn't to save cornelius. but to confirm him as a soldier of christ. that's why when peter started preaching to him, the heavens did not open so that a voice could declare him a child of god, a thing that happens only in baptism. what happened was the indwelling of the spirit which could seen in them speaking in tongues, a thing that happens in the sacrament of confirmation. lastly, when you say they have roots in..., what you are saying is that they took it from paganism. but no, especially ash wednesday wasn't taken from paganism; it was taken from judaism, the religion jesus was born into and practiced. the religion that came from your god, jehovah, through moses. or are you saying your jehovah is a pagan god? in judaism, as can be seen in the bible, the people would pour ash on themselves to show sign of repentance. |

Jamesrock:I presumed you were taught in Catholic church to abuse people on public forum. I also presumed your parent taught you to disrespect people too because your bible approves insults. I want to believe you are a Christian and you are taught to preach love not insults. Hence you just prove to the world how a Christian relates to his neighbours even your bible says you should love them. With this attitude of yours, you are not only piercing the heart of Jesus but sending souls to hell by your behavior. Your bible explicitly said "let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven". |

Re: Meaning Of Ash Wednesday And Why Anglicans Celebrate It by fsgbeats: 3:32pm On Feb 28, 2020 |
Rituals very few still understand.. Jesus never burnt ash and made a cross on his believers' head. Neither did he at any time sprinkle them with holy water.. Don't quote me if you don't understand.. |
