The catholic church now copies pentecostal.
1. They now take tithe
2. They do night vigils now.
3. The charismatic now do outreach and crusade
4. They now speak in tongues (this beats me)
5. They have greatly reduced all those solemn music and now sing regular street gospel

Whose copying now

All Pentecostal churches are almost same as Catholics
Na lie. Their teachings are only how to prosper in life, an assemblies of god guy told me that he cant love his enemies, the hausas and fulanis are his enemies, he also supports roadside sacrifices, and many more. They go to church to prosper and thats all.

What has people not being able to read according to you in the "1st 1000 years of Christianity"?

Seems you didn't read the scriptures I quoted which confirms my 1st statement or are you part of the people who couldn't read in the "1st 1000 years of Christianity"?

Pls read verse 2 of the scripture I quoted which you didn't read before commenting
You made this statement -
Wow...you are so ignorant? Catholics hardly read the bible so they barely know what Christianity is all about
And I stated that most people couldn't read anyway up until recently. So your assertion holds no water. What people have always had is church guidance as Jesus clearly set up.

Regarding Bishops, the church in fact used to have married bishops but changed the discipline over time to require celibacy (as they saw fit for the running of the church). The verse quoted does not mandate bishops to be married but must not have been married more than once. This is the ancient position.
This is why guidance is required in interpreting scriptures

Meaning pentecostalism has pagan roots cos all you're from catholic church

You are really dense.

The Catholic church did not originate the sacred communion.

This is scripture and not Catholic canon

Are you and the guy I responded to part of those who in the "1st 1000 years of Christianity"? Are we in the "1st 1000 years of Christianity"? Was my statement directed at "1st 1000 years of Christianity"?

How did you arrive at the following conclusions? :

"And I stated that most people couldn't read anyway up until recently. So your assertion holds no water. What people have always had is church guidance as Jesus clearly set up."

When is "recently"? Kindly give a specific date.

The place you are "interpreting" or better still "misinterpreting ", can you pls quote the scripture for me?

Why do you venerate a graven image in the form of the Madonna?

Why is Mary central to your catholic creed and not Christ Himself?

You worship the great harlot Lilith as presented in ancient fertility goddess religion.

So says an antisemite. grin

Unlike you Judea masonic false Christians my Christian faith isn't tied and dyed in Jew worship.

The fake church of Satan you attend is only meant to have you see those Christ killers as your god despite Christ condemning them as belonging to the Synagogue of Satan.

How you came to reconcile Jew worship with its very antithesis of Christianity when these Jews have been the earliest and most commuted prolific enemies and persecutors of the church only you can answer on the day of reckoning .

I'm a Catholic but once in a while I get to attend pentecostal churches when invited by colleagues though. So I went to this very well known pentecostal church. I found out the following:

(1) They've now modelled their church into several services just as it is done in the Catholic Church unlike before when they go to church by 7am and return by 2pm

(2) They have the pictures of their daddy GO inside the church just like the Catholics use those of Jesus

(3)They also had ornaments like holy oil just like in the Catholic church

(4) They have communion service just like in the Catholic church. I took their wine and communion though grin grin

It seems to me like the essence of the pentecostalism is now been defeated because the pentecostal churches we knew when growing up never had these aspects that resembled the Catholic Church practices. To add to it some pentecostal churches now ordain bishops too which were never existent to them them except to the orthodox churches.

Whatever, but we know who we serve. Not u will know for us. Why i hate protestants, its like nigeria having been freed from britain, will come and say that their system of Govt is bad and that nigeria system is the best, if a pikin carries up her father, some vital organs will just close his eyes. Since i have been dealing with pentecostal, i have seen their fruits, fruits of criticisms to the mother church, they have never got selves ok when they hear about catholic, just like satan and Holy Ghost fire

The catholic church is a homosexual death cult .

We are not talking about a few bad eggs here but a gay bath house load of faggins that have covered each other .

You worship a fertility deity dating back to ancient times.

This is why Christ isn't central in your doctrine or even in your prayers

You remain a false church

If a group of 100 people donate 1000 each and a group of only 10 people donate de same each, why wont the group that has only 10 people see the group that has 100 people as a rich group

It was never a donation but an imposed Church tax.

Parishes were franchised for tax extortion on those unfortunate to live under the realm of Catholicism.

Was there not a time a Pope came up with a canon where sins were forgiven through monetary penance?

I guess you only believe dead people are saints?

Stop quoting the Bible out of context.

Living Christians are saints.


Romans 1:7 "to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."


Romans 8:27 "and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."



I am a saint and God answers my prayer. Stop praying to dead people.
so when a living Christian dies what becomes of him

I have always maintained that it is far easier to convert a radical violent Islamic terrorist to Christ than an instutionalized Catholic sheep.

You are stuck to catholic church same way a Cele member is to their Afro spiritual doctrine because your entire life has been one of ritual severance to the institution known as Catholicism.

Your religion is materialism just like Judaism and as such even the truth can not reach you.
