Christianity EtcRe: Who Created God Or How Did God Come Into Existence? by brocab: 4:58pm On Dec 24, 2015
Love created God-and God created love. The bible said no-one has seen God at any time because God is love.
When you are with family and friends sharing that special moment with them, God is in the midst of you all.
You either believe it, or you don't?-When the bible said we are made in the image of God, believe it.
No-one can run and hide from the essence of love.
Christianity EtcRe: Do Catholics Believe in Being Born Again? by brocab:
"No" but you said this! Quote>The bible is so contextual and straight forward it requires high level of thinking to understand it.
With this statement, it can only mean-you yourself believe you have a bigger IQ, then the rest of us.
So of course a child couldn't understand the scriptures, nor a teenager-but with your IQ level-you believe no-one can.
I have news for you-the bible was written simple.
And this is how?
The Holy Spirit was working back then and he is working in us all now. Elisabeth had the Holy Spirit-Mary also had the Holy spirit, Elisabeth said: the Holy Spirit leap inside her as Mary walked in. After Jesus and John was born, the Spirit then continualed with Jesus and John, it was the Holy Spirit who walked with them with their ministry's. Jesus and John was full of the Holy Spirit.
After Jesus had died-He sent the disciples another comforter {Holy Spirit} who taught them, more about the word of God.
Only because Jesus wanted all man kind to spread His gospel, no-one can understand the scriptures without having the Holy Spirit.

We all know the bible is written Spirituality, and it takes the Spirit to guild us through the scriptures.
The Holy Spirit also met up with Aaron each year in the temple-So it proves the Holy Spirit travels where He is needed.
After Jesus died, the temple was no-longer needed, it was torn in two, {Jesus predicted this will happen} Jesus had made away for the temple to be built in each person' where now everyone can enjoy the comforts of the Spirit living in us all, like He done with His disciples.
As you can see the Holy Spirit-is never in one place, He moves like the wind.
Jesus and John was born with the Spirit.
This is why it's important to be born again-so we too can share the same Holy Spirit-Jesus and John had since birth, and allow that same Spirit to guild us, as He did with Jesus and John in their ministry's.
So the message's will spread the gospel across the nations-this is the same gospel Jesus's disciples were taught by Him, and the Holy Spirit.
And in this day and age the gospel is continualing to spread at a faster rate.
The Holy Spirit has been around since day one, and He will continual to stay around.

The Spirit of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one in all.
paxonel:
i didn't say children cannot understand Bible.
Adults can breakdown the complexity of Bible for children to understand, that's why we have children Bible.
Infact, all what i have just said here was first spoken to me by a 16 years old child in the UK. Meanwhile, among all the elderly popular prominent pastors in Africa where i am living do not understand these things.
ok, sorry
i was talking about the comforter, the holy spirit in Jesus Christ that make us christians and consequently we have eternal life.
Not the holy spirit that can come upon any individual once in a while to empower him overcome specific challenges.
The Holy spirit (the comforter ) is the spirit of the church(people, not building ) which is the permanent holy spirit that was born out of Faith at pentecost that Jesus dwells in all christians permanently which is God's kingdom on earth, this is the holy spirit born again disciples who followed Jesus before he was crucified never had. Except they were born again by following Jesus to Jerusalem , they will never have this kind of holy spirit(comforter at pentecost at Jerusalem ) which is God's kingdom on earth . This holy spirit (comforter ) is different from the holy spirit (God's spirit ) possessed by all humans in that, this conforter was specifically for salvation,eternal life and can also empower christians overcome specific challenges at Gods will. that is what I'm talking about. The other kind of holy spirit (God's spirit ) which was breathed by God when he created Adam as the life of God, works temporarily. Everyone have it ,whether you are Christian or not(including the born agains who followed Christ before he was crucified ). That is the one you saw in old testament and Peter having the ability to identify Jesus as the Messiah when Jesus asked, who do men say i am?
If they were the same kind of holy spirit, there will be no need sending the comforter in the first place. It should also be noted that, the moment Jesus resurrected the comforter came, born again sieze to exist at that point as there was no physical Jesus to follow again . Therefore we are christians, not born agains. Born again was a means to the kingdom which is Christianity on earth (except ye be born again you cannot see the kingdom ) and not the kingdom itself.
Christianity is the kingdom itself.
Who founded Christianity?
Jesus Christ.
when did he founded the Christianity?
when he resurrected from dead.
Born again was an inferior state to Christianity.
Jesus says the least person in the kingdom (Christianity ) is greater than born again (John the Baptist )
remember, John the baptist never saw Christianity (the kingdom ). He died before Christianity was established. The same goes to Judas Iscariot, all these people were all born again, they were Jesus disciples
so, i preferred to be called a Christian than to be called born again.
it sounds like revelation isn't it?
go and look at your Bible again

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
This is how you are twisting my words-Quote> You don't have an image of yourself in mirror-and of course you don't have pictures on paper.
Firstly I didn't make my image-God did, and if I looked into a mirror-yes I see my image, but I didn't make it, from the beginning it was given to me by God.
Secondly if I had a photo image of myself-its like looking into a mirror, but the image is on paper.
Still" as I had said, I didn't make my image-god made my image from the beginning.
dmandy:
I am not blind sir, I am only making sure I read what you meant.

It's not really that bad to repeat for emphasis.

Granted you don't make images of yourself... You don't have image of yourself in mirror(clay) and of course you don't have pictures on paper(wood).

I'm sorry for assuming you have images of yourself. Pardon my mistake.

I have images of myself and my loved ones all around me but I don't sing praises to these images. I rather sing praises to they themselves when there is need for it but not their image.

What about your house plan? It is an image of something on earth. If you dont make image of yourself but make that of your house.... you are guilty of making images. And let me add that your house is made of clay, wood and stone.

The bible is written for us to go by, we prove our Quote's with scriptures, to prove God is in the word.

Rubbish.... this is your personal opinion!

no single scripture quoted!
Christianity EtcRe: Who Created God? by brocab:
Love created God-God created Love-every time' you are either with family or friends, spending that special time with them, God is in the midst of you all.
You either believe it all not, it doesn't matter how far you can run-remember we can't run fast enough' away from the true essence of love.
When the bible say's we are made in the image of God, believe it. God is Love.
And for those who say, how about the animals, animals have senses-they either sense the love from a human, or they don't' and rip you to pieces. Animals sense their way through life.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
Thank you for your honesty dmandy. But if you could point out where in the scriptures the bible told you to worship Mary, this would be a bonus.

I WILL WORSHIP THE MARY THAT THE BIBLE TOLD ME TO WORSHIP.
Mary is much more alive than you. {She can only be living in Spirit}
FROM THE BEGINNING YOU HAVE DENIED THE TRUTH, YOU ALL DID. NOW WITH YOUR HONESTY WE DON'T NEED TO GO ANY FURTHER ABOUT THIS MATTER.
YOU NOW HAVE THE EVIDENCE WRITTEN DOWN IN FRONT OF US ALL, YOUR CLAIMS BELOW IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

This was our Argument from the beginning-and it was you and Italo along with the others, had denied the truth-who you really worship.
Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas with family and friends.

1 kings does not say that Mary is Queen.

You say' you don't like the insults, but you don't mined dishing them out either, Quote> Her Spirit lives on with Christ and her soul with brocab?
Well she isn't alive today is she, she is only alive in a statue image in the Catholic Church.
Her spirit nor the disciples spirits can bring us to Christ, It's God who draws us to Him.
Well which part of the bible, can you prove she had gone up to heaven body and Spirit?
Jesus said, and the dead shall raise first-and those who are still alive will meet them in the clouds' at His coming.
Not even His disciples back then are alive in the flesh, we are His new disciples, and we will carry His word until the end of our time, and those after us will carry His word until the end of their time, until Christ returns.
dmandy:
Her spirit lives on with Christ and her soul with brocab?

In what book of the bible did you read that she Is dead and buried?

Two questions that will be avoided like two poisonous snakes.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
Here we go again, twisting my words-No your not breaking the law having an image, you are breaking the law worshipping one.
Quote>Your words are-I will worship the Mary the bible told me to worship, {you mean the idol Mary} where in the bible does it say this?
Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in Heaven above or on the Earth beneath or in the waters below,
God said, you shall not make any images IN THE FORM OF ANYTHING IN HEAVEN sure enough you had made an image of Mary, either with Jesus as a baby in Her arms, or with Jesus standing on His own-these are the images God said not to build from above.
This was our first argument, before you had decided to twist my words, to my own image, and of course things have gotten out of hand taken us both further away from the truth.
When we look above the Vatican, we see statues of the demonic angels with demons looking down at the people, standing with the saints, these sit above the Church buildings. Rooms full of demonic demons-rooms full of the skull and bones-praying to the dead souls, and these are worshipped underneath the Vatican.
Catholic's are train to catch a Christian-but I assure you-the word of God won't be mocked by wolves in sheep clothing.
God lives in each of us, its His Spirit that teaches us all things through the word-Christians don't need statue images to remind them Jesus is real, all we need, is the word of God-as we seek further into the bible, God blesses us, it's the word of God that leads us to Christ, It's the word of God that pictures Christ in our hearts.
You seem to be trapped in the old testament' where their were idol god's made.
The Arks had two different meanings, First Noah built an Ark that took the animals.
Second Moses built the 10 commandments Ark, a covenant which was a different kind of religious symbol' then the Israelites were used to.
It was not an statue meant to represent the physical manifestations of a god.
It was a container for God, it was to be respected' but not worshipped, instead it was placed where man and God can meet.
When Moses came down from the mountain, he saw the Israelites dancing around a golden calf.
Moses threw the tablets of the 10 commandment down to the ground smashing them, because the people had made something from paganism. Worshipping it, bowing down and praying to it.
So you see, having an images, isn't the same as worshipping a image, any images made that takes people away from god, is an image made as a god.
You made images from above, God don't live in statues, He didn't live inside the Ark either, He lives in those who have chosen to believe.
dmandy:
Trust me, I will ignore your insults and engage you decently.

Learn to read. I don't worship images.

Say it the way it is.... I am not protecting the church from you. who are you? I am defending the truth.

Point out where I lied or showed willingness to lie against the truth and I will follow you. Else look for more straw to grasp.... o di so much allowed.

I am not breaking any commandments by having images.

Sir, the bible said 'Image' and image is image. You are the one that is making exemptions.

You said we are talking about the images mentioned in the bible some of the images mentioned In bible includes: the ark, golden calf, bronze serpent, cherubim, lots wife, temple, scrolls, man etc? Which one exactly did we start talking about.

False prophets are the ones that say taking pictures and printing them on paper made of woods is idolatry.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab: 12:43am On Dec 23, 2015
I really don't know if your brain functions that well, surely not in the word of God anyway.
You have proven to yourself, that you are willing to lie against the truth-only to protect your Church-we all know you are a false prophet. Someone who was taught how to catch a Christian, uses the word of God against His own, only to satisfy your dirty deeds.

We started of talking about the images mentioned in the bible, of course the bible got wind of you. You had change the images' from the bible To my image-only because you didn't have a leg to stand on. You knew you were breaking God's commandments. And still are.
Really if you praise and worship yourself in photo's the mirror, etc..
Then you must be a God-the Son and the Spirit all in ONE.

Good, you have read that Jesus is king of kings.

Try and read that the mother of a king is his queen.

When you are done read also that Jesus's mother is Mary.

Yes, you read that Jesus is Lord, do well to read that Mary the mother of our lord.

try and read also that Jesus is a mighty God

Read that Jesus is born of a virgin

Look for where it is written that this virgin's name is Mary.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
The only problem you have is this, the Mary I know written in the bible, isn't the Mary you worship.
I would understand-if someone alive leads people to Christ.
When believers in Christ lead people to Christ, it's the Holy Spirit that moves like the wind.

But if you honestly believe Mary is leading people to Christ, impossible, Her Spirit-nor do the Angels can lead people to Christ.
She has no chance.
In Her flesh she is dead and buried, her Spirit lives on-with Christ.

This call can only come straight from God Himself.
dmandy:
You just confirmed your hatred for Mary. But it's not my problem that you don't believe the Bible. According to your own version every other believer can lead another to christ except Mary?

I don't even have to waste my data asking you where you read the statement in the bible because if I do you will quote one business man who runs one pastor and pastor (mrs) inc. ventures.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:

Her name is leading you all up the garden path, that's about it.
dmandy:
No, that is not the problem. The problem is that you hate to hear the name Mary. The bible encourages us to lead one another to Jesus. Mary who is so close to him cannot be an exemption.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab: 10:13pm On Dec 22, 2015
Then show me in the scriptures, where does it say, Mary has all the rights to these titles ?
I have read Jesus is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, but I have never found in the scriptures' your claims about Mary being a Queen.
And besides, if Jesus is the King of kings, Mary wouldn't be His Queen.
Prove your point-Mother of God, Queen of Heaven.
dmandy:
The bible did bestow those titles to Mary not the church. The Church only agreed with the bible.

If the bible says Jesus is God...and that Mary is the Mother then Mary is the mother of God.

If the bible says the mother of a king is queen snd that Jesus is a King of Kings and that Mary is Jesus's mother, then Mary is a Queen

Belief if you want to..... my business is only to correct the false teaching of the church that you parade.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab: 9:53pm On Dec 22, 2015
Well it can't be in my head so much, when you have claimed Mary is Queen-who gave that name to Her?
The Catholic's, if your answer is God, then prove it in the scriptures' where God gave Mary these names, Mother Of God, Queen Of Heaven.
So we who aren't Catholic can believe it too.
dmandy:
In your head you have made Mary equal to Jesus but the Church hasn't.

The bible said Mary is the Mother of a King, a mighty God, everlasting father and prince of peace. She is a queen. She is blessed more than any woman.

fight the bible not the church.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab: 9:49pm On Dec 22, 2015
The only problem is, Mary can't guild you to Jesus-its God that leads us to Him.
1 Corinthians 1:9 "God is faithful, who has called you into the fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Timothy 1:9 "He has saved us and called us to a Holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of His own propose and grace.
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.
So you can see Mary can't lead us into salvation.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
The video I have produced, is the complete opposite' it don't prove the Catholic Church was built by Jesus, this is only your say.
You should watch the video {Instead of claiming you had} tell me what you think after relaxing into the video.
If you are honest enough to yourself' you will change your beliefs, from the lie, to the truth, knowing all your life you have been following after the beast instead of Christ.
The Catholic's have made a big mistake-Mary Isn't equal with Jesus, Mary the Mother of God-Queen of heaven has not got the authority to have the final decision' above Jesus.
Jesus is our savour, He is the light that shines, He is the way and the truth and the life, and He is the gateway to heaven.
Mary can't save you, Mary can't give the final decision-Mary isn't the gate to heaven, God didn't grant Mary to be the Queen of heaven, the Catholic's did.
Read the bible, don't listen to the rubbish, listen to the truth about Christ.

Sir,

the Church of God is one and there is nothing you can do about it, not in this world and definitely not in the next. Your video actually proves that the Church Jesus built on earth is catholic.

Then you have broken all of the commandments, Are you still twisting my words, trying to clarify your not guilty.
Quote> Praise the lord!!! So, now you believe that the Rosary is scriptural. Thank God. Now, this is you.
What rubbish.
When I went to school the teacher taught me, how to count up to 10, 2 and 10 are two different figures.
James 2:10 "if you have broken one commandment you have broken them all, take note what James had said:
You have broken the commandments worshipping images as you do.
Everything you have twisted, yes it makes you a lair against God.
Quote> I don't make images of myself,
Are you that silly, brain dead-that you would rather lie against the truth-about the commandments of God.
Do you bow down to your image, do you sing praises to your image, do you worship your image?
If the answer is No! Then why do you use Mary as your image bowing your head down before you enter into the Catholic Church. Why do you, worship after her image, sing praises to her? When you know Jesus said not too.
I know why you do this because you don't understand the scriptures.
If you were a true believer as you claim to be-you would obey the word of God true and true.
As a Spirit-filled Christian, you would know better to not disobey the word of God.

Leviticus 26:1 "Do not make idols' or set up an image, {Do you worship Mary's image} or a sacred stone for yourselves, {Isn't Mary sacred and made out of stone} and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. {Is Mary placed as a caved stone on land your Church buildings stand} I am the Lord your God.
dmandy:

so that these are the lies?

This is in response to Mandy: All the prayers of the rosary are in the bible.

(2) Brocab: We are disobeying the 10 commandments.
You said 2 out of the 10 commandments. Yes, which this is same as saying disobeying the 10 commandments. (James 2:10) I know you don't know that. Thank me later.

Again, Thank God, brocab have now known that the catholic church is not disobeying the 10 commandments by having images. Your words sir

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
Every true Christian knows the truth about Jesus, Jesus is our soul winner, His Church is His word. The word of God is the truth, you either obey it, or you don't.
Catholicism is right about Mary being blessed-only because she was found faithful towards God-she obeyed the word of God.{We are also blessed on these same terms, when we obey the word of God} but it shouldn't be a way out, to idolize Mary as the Catholic's do, the bible is about Jesus, nothing more, He is our mediator, our saviour, our God,

I find the Catholic's as being try hard's, trying to twist the word of God-claiming their universal Church building is the main key to salvation.
Jesus had nothing to do with paganism. The Catholic's idolize their buildings, showing of their images, their perilous stones and their silver and Gold.
If a Church building was given the keys, as the Catholic's claim, than why did Peter say silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, I give to you, in the name of Jesus stand up and walk.
If Peter is the Rock? As the Catholic's Church claims, then why is it filled with all the riches of the world

Matthew 24:1 "After His disciples told Him about how they loved the temple, with its great riches, Jesus predicts the destruction of that very same temple.
If Jesus was so keen in the building industry-then why did He say, Foxes have holes, birds have nest, but I have no place to rest My head.
Jesus built His Church on the word of God.
Jesus never said to Peter build My Church, He said you are Peter and on this Rock, meaning the words that Peter quoted, is the foundations of the Church.
If Jesus was so keen on the buildings, He would have built one, instead He didn't. why? Jesus was preferring to His people as His Church not buildings. He had laid the foundations with the word of God.
Jesus said, flesh and blood did not give you this, but My Father in heaven, those words given to Peter, came from the Spirit of God.

You are full of sh*t
1. You hallucinate about nobody envying Catholicism
2. You hallucinate further about the cause for everyone envying Catholicism as being their 'unity'


Now now,
Am no psychiatrist so I have no remedy for your schizophrenia. Instead, I will concern meself with scriptures;

FACT #1
Elizabeth says Mary is blessed
Luke 1:42 (KJV)
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb


FACT #2
A woman says Mary is blessed
Luke 11:27 (KJV)
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked


FACT #3
Jesus says MORE BLESSED are those that keep His Word
Luke 11:28 (KJV)
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Luke 11:28 (HCSB)
28 He said, “Even more, those who hear the word of God and keep it are blessed!”


Conclusions
1. Catholicism is right in pointing out the blessedness of Mary
2. Catholicism is flat out wrong in insinuating that Mary's blessedness far much EXCEEDS that of other men

I understand that even pagans have to exalt objects first before worshipping them, this is why Catholicism exalts Mary. But as Jesus told hat woman, any 'special' blessedness Mary possessed is equaled and exceeded by the hearers and doers if the Word.

Its not me who's learning its you, as we all know you don't fully believe in Christ.
dmandy:
Good,

You are learning. Doesn't this post make sense to you now?

The word of God is Jesus and not the church. The word of God says 'Jesus built a church' and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

I am glad, you understand this very well. That Church is ONE. Jesus did not build parallel churches.

Brocab That's a big fat lie.
Brocab said we are disobeying the 10 commandments.
Not only have you twisted what I had written, you have chosen to word it making out I am the one who lies.
I said you have disobeyed 2 of the 10 commandments.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha lair. And you do need anger management.
dmandy:
I speak against lies and lies alone. Show me where I lied against you (or anybody for that matter) let's speak against it.

I need anger management? permit me to laugh at you a bit hahahahahahahahahhahahhaha; Can you provide anger management?

Well, for the records, I don't need anger management, I rather need you to provide where I lied against you. Or prove to me that you are indeed a son of the father of all lies.

The Authority of the New Testament Church is the word of God.
Jesus is called the word of God.
{Revelation 19:13} "Jesus is the foundation of the New Testament Church...
"For any other foundations can no man lay, than that is laid.
Which is Jesus Christ.
{1 Corinthians 3:11} Jesus is the Authority of the New Testament Church.
Jesus is the living word of God, and the bible is the written word of God.
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
{And we behold His glory-the glory as of the only begotten of the Father} full of grace and truth.
{John 1:1,2,14} Jesus is the word of God incarnated.
The bible is the believers final Authority on all matters,
