What is religious Christianity and what is relationship Christianity?

Even Jesus celebrated the Sabbath day and celebrated the Passover feast of the Jewish religion.

Don't let's be more Christian than Christ Himself.

There's nothing wrong in setting aside 40 days to fast and pray and do penance in commemoration of the 40-day fast of Jesus in the wilderness.

Besides, it's been a practice in the Catholic Church for over 1,500 years, so...

No it's not.

I know you want to insult Ibos and what you perceive as their religion.

You are wrong on both counts.

Catholicism is practiced by over 1 billion people around the world.

And what's the point in insulting a whole people and their religion because of some online miscreants?

You may not like the religion, a sensible person will walk by instead of spewing hatred against what he is ignorant of.

You don't see Catholics as Christians, but it is only the Catholic Church that can trace its history all the way down to the Apostles.

If there was a true Christian Church, that would be the Catholic Church.

Other mushroom churches founded by men who say they heard the word of God seem suspect to me.

APOSTLECHUMA:
During lent they stay away from sin only to return to it with full force on easter day- the day christ died to liberate humanity from the bondage of sin. IT IS HYPOCRISY TO OBSERVE LENT WHEN YOU ARE YET TO PURGE YOUR MIND OF SIN.

The effort is worth it. As a matter of fact, what you imbibe with 40 days stays with you forever. It takes 3 weeks to form an habit or break away from a bad habit.

Question for the day : Why is WEDNESDAY chosen for the marking of ASH,and not other days?

Please I need someone to answer this question.. It's bothering me all this while..

Q. If the date when we celebrate the birth of Jesus was selected, why couldn’t we select a permanent date for Easter?

Lent is forty days fasting and abstinence. Sundays during Lent are not included in the fasting. There are 6 Sundays for the duration of Lent. Excluding these Sundays, it doesn't add up to 40. By beginning on the Wednesday, the 40 days is complete.

The devil will always use empty vessels to attack God's kingdom, you need deliverance




So attacking a doctrine that we are to abstain from fornication for 40days and not forever is attacking "God's kingdom"?
God bless you

Time to seek the face of God after years in the wilderness. It's high time I get back to God as the prodigal son did
