Seun:
A good understanding of the bible is very useful.

Something you could really use.

TATIME:
Hmmmmmmmmmm that's interesting, but why is it that the Catholics have failed in all the facets of what is expected of the followers of that guy from Nazareth?
They're into politics!
They're into racism!
They're into image worshiping!
They're into interfaith!
They're into polygamy!
They're into Apostasy!
I suppose if the Catholics have the TRUTH, they should know better. Perhaps the remaining seven books found in their translation of the Bible wasn't part of the ORIGINAL inspired writings from the TRUE God, who impacts HIS own people with wisdom. Certainly those seven EXTRA books were added,thus the curses for those who makes any addition is what is tearing the Catholics apart till today!
For your information, all the religious groups claiming Christians today including Islam deserted the Catholic Church even though they're all having so much similarities with the Catholics,except just one group! None of those things mentioned is found amongst the ONE and ONLY group that belongs to Jesus.

so your Bible condemns working in peace with all men about or respect for rulers obedience to just laws and participation in government?

The Catholic Church is not into image worship, polygamy, racism or apostasy.

Sorry

Christianity is about Jesus of Nazareth, the young man who lived nearly 2000 years ago.
He is the one referred to as Christ or Messiah or Anointed or Chosen.
The group name Christians is derived from Christ, so it simply means Christlike, if you're truly a Christian,
*You must not carry weapon for any reason. Matthew 26:52.
*You must stay clear from politics. John 6:15
*You must be obedient to rulers but say NO when their orders contradicts scriptural principle. Matthew 22:15-22,Acts 5:29
*You must see those having the same faith with you as your brothers and sisters,so a Catholic member from Nigeria shouldn't take up weapons to kill a Catholic member from Ghana for no reason whatsoever! Matthew 12:47-49
*You mustn't bow before any images be it that of Mary, Peter,Saints or even the Cross! Exodus 20:4,5, Matthew 4:10
*You must not call anyone a Christian brother, if such a person marries more than one wife! 1Timothy 3:12
*You must make it clear to all those listening to you that "they must also become zealous evangelizers of God's kingdom message" 2Timothy 4:1,2
Of course all those who lived before Jesus aren't doing these because they lived when the Messiah (Christ) has not come to establish the way to salvation, that's why Jesus could rightly say NONE of them including John (the Baptist) is qualified to enter God's kingdom! Matthew 11:11 So they're NOT Christians!
They will later be resurrected and taught all these principles(Revelations 20:11-13) then whoever bow to the instructions from God's only begotten son among them will be allowed to enter God's kingdom, but whoever disagrees will die THE SECOND TIME meaning never coming back again! Revelations 20:14,15
The Catholic Church is a religion based on human reasoning, that's why it's impossible to conquer racism amongst them! So they're NOT Christians.

jokes, these johova witness theories can be funny

Ubenedictus:

Really funny indeed Sir, but that's how we are able to remain virtuous in the midst of countless religious groups claiming Christians.
If everyone is a Jehovah's Witness there won't be any weapons on this planet again because we've taught ourselves to leave vengeance to God who will judge all wickedness! Isaiah 2:2-4 Romans 12:19, Hebrew 10:30
The Catholic Church has been in existence for almost two millennia now yet they can't end racism amongst their members, Jehovah's Witnesses are just 160 years(as assumed) and they've succeeded in eradicating politics and weapon carriers in their midst!

the bible also teaches that it is just to violently oppose an unjust oppressor who seeks your life, that is self defense.

There is no racism in the Catholic Church.

Is it before or after the commissioning of Christianity by Jesus of Nazareth? Because if you're one of His followers,you must NOT carry weapons nor do anything with violence even when it means your life NOW! Matthew 26:52

Ubenedictus:

There is no racism in the Catholic Church.

How i wish this is TRUE, because there are weapon carriers in the the Catholic church and i wonder how your Pope will handle a situation when two politicians are instigating their people against one another. Do you think Catholics (supposed Christians) won't kill Catholics during such strife involving racism?
For example during the Nigerian civil war,Catholic Ibos kill Catholic Yorubas when they're supposed to be Christian brothers!

weapon carrying doesn't have anything to do with racism, you are confusing two different things

Some amongst us who are still slow in understanding gather material things so they build houses planning for PROTECTING the materials,installing heavy burglaries but most importantly true Christians DON'T STORE UP TREASURES where thieves do break in to steal(because of those material things). Matthew 6:19-21
We're to live simple lives so that we're not tempted to KILL while trying to PROTECT material things! Matthew 6:22,23
That's what CHRISTIANITY truthfully means!

Ubenedictus:

Please if Jesus is watching from heaven and seeing a weapon in your hands,what can you say to justify your possession of harmful weapons?
Because if i could remember, the most important thing to protect to a Christian is Jesus (CHRIST) that's why Peter tried to defend Jesus but He rebuked Peter so please tell me how Jesus will feel watching Peter carrying a weapon while fighting for Israel to kill Cornelius (another Christian from Rome) who probably may be fighting for Rome?

when someone comes to rape and kill your family I hope you will be there to offer them as sacrificial lamb because your church doesn't recognize the right of self defense

Rape? Kill? Well that's part of the injustices mankind have been experiencing from long ago,so Jesus warned His own not to avenge themselves but to keep in expectation of God's Kingdom to settle all that. For the main time,we're to keep preaching and teaching those who are willing to know God's judicial decision {including the supposed RAPISTS and MURDERERS} for them to repent and be saved!
Lot offered his two virgin daughters to be RAPED by his own well known neighbors just to save unknown strangers! Genesis 19:1-11 Helloooooooo Lot wasn't a Christian, he only acted with Faith but Christians are much more FAITHFUL to God than Lot! Matthew 11:11

INSECTICIDE nah!
Abeg it's only by faith in God who sent HIS only begotten son {Jesus} who in turn instruct us NEVER to think of trying to resist those spiteful unbelievers but show them what it means to rely completely on God! Matthew 5:39
