If you can't back up your stories with quotations from bible, don't quote me again.

Ubenedictus:
if you don't know the passages I'm referring to maybe you should quit nairaland and study your Bible more.


It is a shame where a Christian claims not to know the components of something as basic as the ark.

Aside everything else, the wedding is supposed to be in the lady's church.

Why do a lot of Catholic men insist on wedding in their own church.

For this same reason, a friend if mine is yet to do her white wedding. They did traditional and now they have two kids but the guy was stubbornly insisting of his Catholic church but the girl's family refused.

leaving his church isn't half way for a Catholic, that is all the way.

tommysparks:
congratulations but that might not be the end of it trust me bro.

Ubenedictus:
you must be a staunch badly catechisied Catholic ignorant of what your Church teaches


From the church catechism


1616 This is what the Apostle Paul makes clear when he says: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her," adding at once: "'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one. This is a great mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and the Church."110

1617 The entire Christian life bears the mark of the spousal love of Christ and the Church. Already Baptism, the entry into the People of God, is a nuptial mystery; it is so to speak the nuptial bath.111 which precedes the wedding feast, the Eucharist. Christian marriage in its turn becomes an efficacious sign, the sacrament of the covenant of Christ and the Church. Since it signifies and communicates grace, marriage between baptized persons is a true sacrament of the New Covenant

When bigotry is wedded to ignorance the inevitable consequence is the product of your baseless diatribe. Again, your lame and dismal description of Catholic Church shows you don't possess the faintest idea of what church teaches. Yes, Catholic Church has a different style of worship which unfortunately irks many pentecostals, and actuates them to make unguarded and unfounded comments about what they barely understand. In the Catholic Church, Jesus is the chief cornerstone and the symbol of highest veneration. Take it from me, we worship Jesus and Jesus alone. You merely joined the bandwagon that traffics ignorance and hatred. A lady you purportedly invested with the claim of "high spiritually" has been in relationship four year which involves sexual intercourse, yet she has "higher spiritual" rating because she worships in a different church, other than Catholic Church. Don't mistake noisemaking and shouting as the only prerequisite for knowing a true Christian and effective means of evangelization. Jesus didn't use these methods during His earthly mission. We have very few orthodox churches today with an unremitting mushrooming of pentecostal churches that claim to possess the ideal way to make heaven, yet we are inundated with societal ills of epic proportions, some of which are perpetrated in churches. If Pentecostalism is the answer as you erroneously claim, salvation gospel which was ordained by Christ and not prosperity gospel, will be their fundamental doctrine. In all this needless fanaticism, I believe that my faith in Christ Jesus, accompany with my good deeds are the only valid visa to secure heaven. Thank you.

Diamond23:
I wanted to comment but after seeing ur comment, I rest my case....u r blessed already Mrblessed. Nd to the Op never listen to those dat told u to change if u truly luv her. Remember it’s MARRIAGE u r venturing into nd luv alone can not sustain dat, pls if she can’t change for u let her go period and final full stop

mrblessed:
Thanks for your comment. The matter has already been settled to the Op's advantage. It appears that his fears and uncertainty were the consequence of his imagination. He proposed to his girl friend, she accepted without much hesitation. In the end, she has decided to marry a Catholic.

Diamond23:
R u a priest? Philosopher? barrister?? Cux ur level of exposure nd grammar.......I need to study hard!

mrblessed:
I am not a priest, barrister, but being a philosopher is certainly what you don't need formal training to become even if you have a degree in Philosophy. So, maybe a philosopher might be an appropriate label; something you equaly fits in. About being grammatically savvy, I think the trick is study, study, and study. And for being expose, I think someone pursuing a [/b] third degree [b] is duty-bound to be objective and broadminded. That is the only way to contribute meaningfully to knowledge and humanity. I gleaned through your profile and discovered to my pleasure that you an Igbo lady. Which state are you from?

Diamond23:
@ d bolded am wowed.... u r right u know!!! Frm Anambra

zinnydan:
She doesn't love you,unless she attends jw

Hmmm religion is a very dicey and sensitive issue that can make or mar a relationship.Let me say this your faith in God is not determined by which ever denomination you go to.That been said the Young man should be wary of what he is getting himself into.This condition that she is giving is being masked under church by the time the real implication of what she is trying to do manifest she would have roped him into marriage.Then manipulation will be in full swing

l am moved to say this though l am shocked at some of the comments l am seeing.Please do not just engage in the vogue of calling anyone from any other denomination an unbeliever.It does not show spiritual maturity

The church you are going does not define you in your in faith in God it is you yourself because when you stand before your maker he will not ask which church do you go to.

2buffagain:


Honestly, no church denomination is perfect, and every denomination is basically its own religion at this point. that is why religion itself is a cancer. Jesus Christ is above religion. Today we have churches that the Holy Spirit hasn't even been in since 1998. Just people going through the motions and entertaining or carrying out man-made traditions.

It is also unfortunate that pentecostal church has now been thought to mean prosperity church.
The prosperity church should honestly be another denomination on it's own as much of it was spawned by a subtle greed that grew into an idolization of material success.

The catholic church? It evidently has an issue with idols period. Whoever discounts this is just defending culture/tradition, not scripture. God was firm when he expressed He doesn't want idols made of Him or anything in heaven. You don't know what he looks like, neither do you know what Mary looks like...but you just do all that because that's what your church leaders tell you to do...in stalwart defiance of what God dictated. You haven't gone into the bible for yourself to let the holy spirit teach you, by himself, what is expected of you and things to avoid. For one of many examples... if you guys were truly in truth, marriage for priests would be a choice not a mandate to desist (1 Timothy 4:3). You hear the news everyday what that does to these men...

Whatever floats your boats sha, just know that there is a thin line between doing it right and doing it very very wrong with all these churches....and as the last days come to an end...that line gets ever thinner.

As a christian, your paramount concern is not religion...but your personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit will tell you where you need to go when you detach your soul from religionism and yield only to His instruction.
Those who rely on "church crowd", "My pastor/pope says so", etc in these last days will be gravely disappointed when what's coming hits us.
Jesus himself warned of this.
We will have no-one to blame because our pastor cannot answer for us when that day gets real.
So we owe it to ourselves to strip our religious egos/titles/relationships from all this, seek truth SOLO from God's word, and then apply anew as if we knew nothing before.
