Information from the Jesus Christ of Jalingo says that:

" I think you are the bigger psychopath here. For you to attack an arguer instead of an argument. I think your religion has made you deranged. I think you must be a psychopath to support death of an individual instead of accepting blood transfusion"

Thank God you are just thinking your evil warped thoughts
1. Why are you not a member of any Church but is desperately needing comfort, fellowship and in need to associate with Church goers? Is it not a convenient ploy to be irresponsible and to have plausible deniability? Why do you desperately need to constantly be in association with church goers who are critical thinkers?
3. Why are you in veiled support of attack on a religious doctrine that places premium on life by advocating premium medical procedure of choice and that has saved children and adults?
4. Why do you promote terrorism in Angola against ordinary members who are not of the governing body or church leader of the JW?

mumumugu:
the church is boring . members are serious minded. no body laughs . the church is like a cementry dead .

Christianity to them is religion of sadness. Jesus is resurrected .it is joyful. instead their members they hardly celebrate any accomplishments. if someone is alive,they don't bother to be happy with him. but if he dies,they cry. they are not much interested in life but are interested in deathd, they focus on cross.. death of Jesus not lively, no dancing.

But i don't think the laughing part is a doctrine.Also I think all serious Christians should be serious minded though. Members can comment anyway. But Joyfulness is key in Christianity.

LukeLook:
You must be an agent of the devil yourself. A virus.
I was once an active JW. My daughter died at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Dala. I was then in Kaduna and did not know a doctor with a silly and sick mentality like yours was busy managing my child with blood components! He was a bigot like you. Always arguing with an intention to deceive the weak - JUST LIKE YOU.
The chief Medical Director of a private hospital who was in the area called me to break the horrible news. I did not want blood tranfusion for my daughter and I made ample provision for that. She was 11 years and had survived the worst periods, overcome the acute symptoms under Late Doctor Duroshola Mototolani of Motolani Medical Center, Agege while she was in Lagos.

I cooled off activities with the congregation because I wanted to deal with that bigoted, religiously biased and wicked doctor in the most virulent way.

People like you are mentally deranged and will always find ways to promote sorrow pain and tears. The doctor was busy transfusing blood into my daughter without my consent because he wanted to prove a stupid point just like you. The you are caught in the act of violence, know that it is Jesus Christ who has come for judgement.

His likes will not go unpunished! in his own doctrine he fails to see that more and more bloodless cures prove more successful than blood-based cures and that people do not die because of bloodless medicine, but because some doctors are refusing to treat patients without blood.

[s]
If supporting terrorism and violence means criticing peoples beliefs on their God killing billions because they aint jehovah witnesses or banning blood transfusion then so be it I love being a terrorist and violent person

You peacemaker and non violent person that imagines his God killing billions cause they don't belong to watchtower organization and supporting a law that banned blood transfusion in 1945 causing death of children and adults well you are just the kindest person on earth and I think the holy ghost controlling you and your bae is must be one of its kind [/s]



Yawn.Yawn.
I predicted he guilty heart is obsessed with having the last response to my transmission, but I did not mention anybody's name. Let's wait for more. GOD IS GREAT!

Please don't touch that dial.

News reports from Jesus Christ of Jalingo
Evidently the guilty are afraid, those who are promoting the terror and violence against others cannot sleep!

The new discoveries by the Jalingo Jesus are:

1. Everyone does things not mentioned in the bible

2. some make those things not mentioned in the bible a law and punish people who don't adhere to those laws!


For a long time my bae says that all those who fall away from the power of the holy ghost often undergoes mental torture and derangement, paranoia, anger and spiritual sickness....She may be right

Please don't touch that dial. The guilty heart is obsessed with having the last response to my transmission, but I did not mention anybody's name. Let's wait for it. GOD IS GREAT!

Islam is also a way of worship and I would in future draw some comparisons in religion. This presentation are in general terms.

FACTS ABOUT HOW FAITH SEES ITSELF
https://logos.textgiraffe.com/logos/logo-name/Islam-designstyle-boots-m.png
THEISM AND MONOTHEISM
1. There are six articles of faith in Islam. These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: 1) The One God. 2) All of the true prophets of God. 3) The original scriptures revealed to Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. 4) The angels. 5) The Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. 6) Destiny.
2. The Omnipotent Existence
We believe that the Almighty and Omnipotent God exist as the Creator and Ruler of the universe; and that His greatness, knowledge, and power are apparent through the different aspects of anything that exists;
3. Monotheism is The Very Soul of All the Islamic Commandments
We believe that one of the most important subjects relating to the knowledge of God is monotheism, i.e. the belief that there is only one God..
The Branches of Monotheism
We believe that monotheism (tawhid) has many branches among which four are the most important ones:
A) The Unity of Essence: His absolute Holy Essence is one, indivisible, and no one is similar or like unto him.
B) The Unity of His Attributes: Knowledge, power, eternality (everlasting and pre-existence) and all other qualities and attributes of Him are in His Essence and are exactly the very self of His Essence. This is contrary to His creatures whose qualities are different to that of their bodies, and from each other too. This is a critical point and is to be thought upon with minute care.
C) The Unity of His Action (Act)
4. In the world, nothing is effective but Allah. But this does not mean that we are forced in all respects, and all that happens is inevitable; on the contrary, we all have free will in our decisions.
The Holy Qur’an clearly shows that man has free will, and that we may refer man's deeds and acts to God without any reduction in his responsibilities for what he does. God wills that we do what we do, in freedom and by free will, so that He may examine us and lead us forward in the way of perfection, which could be attained through free will and serving the Lord.
D) The Unity of Worship
5. God is the only Being that deserves, and is worthy of being worshipped. No one is to be worshipped but Allah.

THE MIRACLES
6. We believe that the unity of acts put the emphasis upon this fact that: the great miracles that were performed by the prophets were all with the permission of Allah as we read in the Book about the miracles of Jesus Christ

THE ANGELS
7. We believe in the Angels of God who are assigned to perform different duties. Some of them take God's Divine Guidance through inspiration to the Prophets and Messengers.
DIVINE MISSION OF THE PROPHETS
The Philosophy of the Prophethood
8. We believe that God has sent a long line of prophets and Messengers for the guidance of mankind towards salvation and perfection.
9. We believe that among all the prophets there are five ‘archprophets’, who are the most prominent because they brought the law, divine books and new religions. The first was Noah, the second was Abraham, the third was Moses, the fourth was Jesus Christ; and the last of them all was Muhammad.
10. We believe that the Holy prophet Muhammad closed the long line of Messengers, and he is the last of the prophets, His Islamic law will cover all the mankind, and will remain until the end of the world.
11. If after Muhammad, any one claims to be a prophet, such is a false claim.
"Muhammad is not the father of any of you men, but he is the Messenger of Allah, and the seal of the prophets. Allah has full knowledge of all things." (Holy Qur’an, 33:40).
THE SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN THE FOLLOWERS OF DIVINE RELIGIONS
12. Although we believe that Islam is at present the only official religion accepted by God, it does not mean that there cannot be a symbiosis between the followers of Divine Religions, whether they live in Islamic countries or elsewhere. This has an exception of those non-Muslims who are enemies of Islam and Muslims.
"Allah forbids you not, to be kind and equitable to those who have neither made war on your religion, nor driven you out from your homes. Allah loves the equitable.” (Holy Qur’an, 60:
13. We believe that we can make known the truthfulness of Islam to others, by logical and fair discussions.
"There is no compulsion in religion. The truth is distinct from error. Whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah, has grasped the most trustworthy hand, hold that which never breaks. Allah hears and knows all things.” (Holy Qur’an, 2:256)
14. We believe that if the Muslims do what their religion tells them to do; their deeds are enough to present and spread Islam. Neither force nor compulsion is needed.
THE PROPHETS ARE INNOCENT FOR LIFE
15. We believe that all the prophets are innocent throughout their lives. This means that by the grace of God they are always guiltless, before and after their prophetic mission. If not so, people would lose confidence in them, and would not know them as good mediators to act between them and God.
THEY ARE GOD'S OBEDIENT SERVANTS
16. We believe that it has been the greatest honor of the prophets to be the obedient servants of God.
17. We believe that none of the prophets have claimed to be a god. "It is impossible that a man to whom is given the scriptures, wisdom, and prophethood; should say to people: "worship me instead of God." On the contrary he would say:
"Be you all devoted servants of God, who is truly the cherisher of all, for you have studied and taught the scriptures." (Holy Qur’an, 3:34)
18. Also, Jesus Christ has never asked people to worship him:
"Christ does not refuse to serve and worship Allah; Nor do the nearest angels feel contempt to do that. Those who disdain His worship and who are arrogant will be gathered together in front of Him (to answer)" (Holy Qur’an, 4:172)
19. The histories written today show that among the early Christians of the first century (A.D.), the ‘trinity’ did not exist among them at all; rather it is a concept which appeared later.
MIRACLES AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN
20. Being the servant of God does not prevent the prophet to know the unseen, or the future and the past by the leave of God. We know that one of the miracles performed by Jesus was to inform people of some of the mysterious affairs. Muhammad the prophet of Islam too, declared many secrets by the way of God's inspiration.
THE INTERCESSION OF THE PROPHETS
21. We believe that all the prophets, particularly Prophet Muhammad, are in a position to intercede with God on behalf of a certain group of sinners. This intercession must be, and is by the leave of God:
THE QUESTION OF RESORTING
22. We believe that resorting too, is similar to intercession, which permits those who have problems and difficulties to resort to the prophets and saints for help; so that they may pray to God asking Him to solve the problems of the restorers:
THE PRINCIPLES OF ALL THE PROPHET'S MISSIONS ARE ONE
23. We believe that all the prophets pursued the same aim which is the prosperity of mankind, through faith in God and the resurrection, and by religious training. This is why we respect all the prophets.
REPORTS OF THE FORMER PROPHETS
24. We believe that many of the former prophets have informed their followers of the coming of the next prophet. For instance, Moses and Jesus have given a clear account of the mission of the last of the prophets, Muhammad.
"Those who follow the Messenger the unlettered prophet whom they find mentioned in their own scripture in the Law and the Gospel. He commands them what is just and equitable, and forbids them what is evil" (Holy Qur’an, 7:157)
RACIAL AND TRIBAL ADVANTAGES REJECTED
25. We believe that all the prophets, especially our prophet Mohammad, admitted no racial or tribal advantages for any one. To them, all the races, nations, languages, and color of skin, were of equal value and at the same rank:


ISLAM AND HUMAN NATURE
26. We believe that monotheism, belief in God, and the commandments of the Messengers, are all natural, and based upon the human instinct. The prophets have only watered and grown this fruitful seed.
HOLY QUR’AN AND THE HOLY BOOKS
The philosophy of the revelation of divine books
27. We believe that for the guidance of man, God sent down several divine books, among which we may name: the Sohof given to Noah, the Law given to Moses, the Gospel given to Jesus Christ, and the Holy Qur’an given to Muhammad.
https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2416/2531352915_26d63ab0bc.jpg
Holy Qur’an is Not Altered At All
28. We believe that this book, the Holy Qur’an which is now at the hands of the Muslims, is the exact and unaltered copy of that which was revealed to our prophet Muhammad nothing less and nothing more.
29. A group of trustworthy scribes chosen by the prophet himself took note of the revelations from the very beginning up to the end, and Muslims had it a duty of must, to read and recite the verses by day and night. A large group of Muslims committed the book to memory and a group of them had it on the scrolls.
30. Those who had the book in their memory and those who could recite it for the others, had always had a very respectful position among the believers. Such customs and else, prevented the least amount of changes or any alteration to take place in the book. Additionally God Himself has promised and guaranteed to look after His book and keep it safe and secure until the end:
Recitation, Contemplation and Action
31. We believe that the recitation of the Holy Qur’an is the best of worship, because it inspires the reciter to think and to contemplate, where by actions may result.
The Deviating Discussions
32. We believe that some mysterious hands have always tried to deviate and swerve Muslims from contemplation and thought over the verses of the Holy Qur’an. The Omayyed and BaniAbbas dynasties engaged the Muslims on void disputes, to answer the questions: ‘whether the Holy Qur’an is old or new? Is it created or is eternally old as God?’ Such prolonged controversies divided the united Muslims into rival groups altercating and fighting each other. Today we know that a lot of blood has been shed as a result of such nonsense arguments and quarrels, for nothing.
Rules and Regulations of Commentating on the Holy Qur’an
33. We believe that the words of the Qur’an should commonly be taken for their fundamental meanings and not for their connotations, with the exception of some, that clear reasons prove them to mean otherwise. The verses in the Holy Qur’an should never be commentated on the basis of conjectures or self-interests. As an instance when we read in Holy Qur’an:
"And he who was blind in this world, will be blind in the hereafter (next world), and most astray from the path (of salvation).” (Holy Qur’an, 17:72)
We are sure enough that ‘blind’ in this verse does not mean, sightless. It rather means someone who has lost his sense of understanding and judgment, and not him who has lost his sense of sight.
The Danger of Self-Commentaries
34. We believe that self-commentary of (Holy Qur’an, i.e. to use one's own views and interests in comments) is a very dangerous attempt in relation to the Holy Qur’an, and of course one of the great sins. Through a tradition, God says: "He who commentates on any words with his own views and self-interest does not believe in Me!"
The Prophet's Methodological Way (Sunnah), Is Taken From the Book of God (Holy Qur’an)
35. We believe that no one should say the Book of God is enough for our guidance, ignoring the true traditions that we have received as to what the prophet said or how he behaved. For these traditions may serve to explain the realities, and clear the meanings of some of the more difficult verses in the Book to show us better the roots and branches of our religion
https://www.ultraupdates.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/I-love-islam-logo.jpg
36. Resurrection and the Life after Death
We believe that all men and women will be raised up on a certain day after death. They all will be judged, and those who are good and virtuous shall live in Paradise (the garden of bliss), and the sinners will join the fire in Hell.
37. There is Always an Imam
We believe that as God has decreed to send His Messengers with divine guidance, for every age or time God has appointed an Imam to look after the people, leading them to the righteous path and to guard the divine law against any deviation. An Imam has to clearly know the necessities of the ages, and lead the people to the true path of God; he invites and teaches the people to obey the prophets and to follow the law. If not so, man will fail to obtain the goal for which he has been created (i.e. prosperity and perfection) and divine law will be abandoned and people will wander astray.
GROOMING
38. Muslim women shall wear the head-covering (hijab) in fulfillment of God’s decree to dress modestly. This type of modest dress has been worn by religious women throughout time such as traditional Catholic nuns, Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary.
39. Sharia is the law that regulates the daily life of a Muslim and serves as a guide for living by Islamic principles. As Islam is not only a belief system but a complete way of life, the law covers all aspects of living including moral, spiritual, intellectual, physical, economical, political, etc.
40. “Muslim” means “anyone or anything that surrenders itself to the true will of God”. By this definition, we believe that everything in nature (trees, animals, planets, etc.) are “muslims” because they are in a state of surrender to God’s will. In other words, they are fulfilling the purpose for which God created them.

I took the time to continue in this series of various religions as I am going to make comparisons in future. This time I am examining the Jehovah's Witnesses faith from the broad point of view as I did in the other series.

FACTS ABOUT HOW CHURCH SEES ITSELF

1. Form of Christianity: Although no fundamentalism is permitted, Jehovah’s Witnesses, strive to adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. While we accept the entire Bible, we are not fundamentalists.
2. We recognize that parts of the Bible are written in figurative or symbolic language and are not to be understood literally.—Revelation 1:1.
3. God. We worship the one true and Almighty God, the Creator, whose name is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:11) He is the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.—Exodus 3:6; 32:11; John 20:17.
4. Bible. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired message to humans. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16)
5. We base our beliefs on all 66 of its books, which include both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament.” Professor Jason D. BeDuhn aptly described it when he wrote that Jehovah’s Witnesses built “their system of belief and practice from the raw material of the Bible without predetermining what was to be found there.”
6. Jesus. We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26)
7. We have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.—John 14:28.
8. The Kingdom of God. This is a real government in heaven, not a condition in the hearts of Christians.
9. The Kingdom of God will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:9, 10) It will take these actions soon, for Bible prophecy indicates that we are living in “the last days.”—2 Timothy 3:1-5; Matthew 24:3-14.
10. Jesus is the King of God’s Kingdom in heaven. He began ruling in 1914.—Revelation 11:15.
11. Salvation. Deliverance from sin and death is possible through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 4:12)
12. To benefit from that sacrifice, people must not only exercise faith in Jesus but also change their course of life and get baptized. (Matthew 28:19, 20; John 3:16; Acts 3:19, 20)
13. A person’s works prove that his faith is alive. (James 2:24, 26) However, salvation cannot be earned—it comes through “the undeserved kindness of God.”—Galatians 2:16, 21.
14. Heaven. Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the faithful angels reside in the spirit realm. (Psalm 103:19-21; Acts 7:55)
15. A relatively small number of people—144,000—will be resurrected to life in heaven to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom.—Daniel 7:27; 2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 5:9, 10; 14:1, 3.
16. Earth. God created the earth to be mankind’s eternal home. (Psalm 104:5; 115:16; Ecclesiastes 1:4) God will bless obedient people with perfect health and everlasting life in an earthly paradise.—Psalm 37:11, 34.
17. Evil and suffering. These began when one of God’s angels rebelled. (John 8:44) This angel, who after his rebellion was called “Satan” and “Devil,” persuaded the first human couple to join him, and the consequences have been disastrous for their descendants. (Genesis 3:1-6; Romans 5:12)
18. In order to settle the moral issues raised by Satan, God has allowed evil and suffering, but He will not permit them to continue forever.
19. Death. People who die pass out of existence. (Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10) They do not suffer in a fiery hell of torment.
20. God will bring billions back from death by means of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15) However, those who refuse to learn God’s ways after being raised to life will be destroyed forever with no hope of a resurrection.—Revelation 20:14, 15.
21. Family. We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the only valid basis for divorce. (Matthew 19:4-9) We are convinced that the wisdom found in the Bible helps families to succeed.—Ephesians 5:22–6:1.
22. Our worship. We do not venerate the cross or any other images. (Deuteronomy 4:15-19; 1 John 5:21) Key aspects of our worship include the following:
o Praying to God.—Philippians 4:6.
o Reading and studying the Bible.—Psalm 1:1-3.
o Meditating on what we learn from the Bible.—Psalm 77:12.
o Meeting together to pray, study the Bible, sing, express our faith, and encourage fellow Witnesses and others.—Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 10:23-25.
o Preaching the “good news of the Kingdom.”—Matthew 24:14.
o Helping those in need.—James 2:14-17.
o Constructing and maintaining Kingdom Halls and other facilities used to further our worldwide Bible educational work.—Psalm 127:1.
o Sharing in disaster relief.—Acts 11:27-30.
23. Our organization. We are organized into congregations, each of which is overseen by a body of elders.
24. The elders do not form a clergy class, and they are unsalaried. (Matthew 10:8; 23: We do not practice tithing, and no collections are ever taken at our meetings. (2 Corinthians 9:7) All our activities are supported by anonymous donations.
25. The Governing Body, a small group of mature Christians who serve at our world headquarters, provides direction for Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.—Matthew 24:45.
26. Our unity. We are globally united in our beliefs. (1 Corinthians 1:10) We also work hard to have no social, ethnic, racial, or class divisions. (Acts 10:34, 35; James 2:4) Our unity allows for personal choice, though. Each Witness makes decisions in harmony with his or her own Bible-trained conscience.—Romans 14:1-4; Hebrews 5:14.
27. Jehovah’s witnesses as a group and as individuals are guided by God’s Holy Spirit.
28. Our conduct. We strive to show unselfish love in all our actions. (John 13:34, 35) We avoid practices that displease God, including the misuse of blood by taking blood transfusions. (Acts 15:28, 29; Galatians 5:19-21)
29. We are peaceful and do not participate in warfare. (Matthew 5:9; Isaiah 2:4) We respect the government where we live and obey its laws as long as these do not call on us to disobey God’s laws.—Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:29.
30. Our relationships with others. Jesus commanded: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” He also said that Christians “are no part of the world.” (Matthew 22:39; John 17:16) So we try to “work what is good toward all,” yet we remain strictly neutral in political affairs and avoid affiliation with other religions. (Galatians 6:10; 2 Corinthians 6:14) However, we respect the choices that others make in such matters.—Romans 14:12.

FACTS ABOUT HOW CHURCH SEES ITSELF

https://mattofboston.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/catholic-church-symbols-papallogo_color.png

From the internet and from my interacting with the Catholics at the local level I decided to do an overview of basic Catholicism. The Catechism of the Catholic Church has the official Church Teaching.

AUTHORITY:
1. Catholics have various sources of authority:
The Bible,
Tradition,
The Creeds,
Apostolic pronouncements,
Bishops, and the
Pope
2. Just like modern protestant churches, Christ is the authority for Catholics, but as for Catholics, Christ passed his authority to His Apostles and the Bible and Tradition come from the same Apostolic "Deposit”.
3. The Catholic Church (and the Orthodox Church) has retained this Apostolic authority through a process called "Apostolic Succession," which is the passing down of authority from the apostles to their successors, our modern-day bishops.
4. The pope, the bishop of Rome, has a first place among the bishops as the successor to Peter, the "Rock," and prince of the apostles, and under certain circumstances, has the grace to speak infallibly on issues of faith and morality.
5. While Catholics do not embrace sola scriptura, the 16th century Protestant concept that the Bible alone is our final authority, Catholics hold the Bible in high regard as the word of God, and cannot teach contrary to the Bible's Teachings.

THE CHURCH:
6. The Catholic Church is the Church that Jesus Christ established. Thus the Church subsists in the Catholic Church. However, members of other Christian churches and denominations are also in communion with the Catholic Church by virtue of their sacraments.
7. The Orthodox Churches possess fully valid sacraments, and are true particular Churches, whereas Protestant Christians are in communion with the Catholic Church on account of their baptism; still, this communion is impaired.
a. The Church is one, because it is unified in Christ across regions and time periods.
b. The Church is Holy on account of the grace of Christ given to it and the holy sacraments it provides.
c. The Church is Catholic because it contains the fullness of the Deposit of Faith, thus is it truly "according to the whole" and "universal."
d. Finally, the Church is Apostolic because its Teachings and Authority come from the Apostles themselves.

CREATION
8. The Catholic Church is disunited when it comes to evolution, creationism and the origin of life. Catholic theologians have never agreed on one particular interpretation of the creation stories in the book of Genesis. A few early Christians read them literally, others allegorically, and others in light of the science of the day. Some read them all three ways at the same time.
9. Most Catholics argue that Interpreting Genesis in light of scientific observations may shock some Christians whose churches were founded during the modernist controversies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

GOD: THE TRINITY
10. Catholics believe in the Nicene Creed, and therefore believe in one God who exists as three persons ("person" in this usage means "an individual reality," not a human being). Essentially Catholics believe the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all God, one in substance and will, but distinct in some way, but not divided.
11. In addition to an intellectual understanding of the Trinity, Catholics are to develop a relationship with the Triune God through prayer and worship.
12. The Trinity is not tritheism (the belief in three gods), but rather a dynamic monotheism.

JESUS CHRIST: GOD AND MAN
13. Catholics believe Jesus is fully God and fully Man, with a human will and a divine will. He is the King of Cosmos, the Word of God, and the awaited Messiah of Israel. He was born of a Virgin, Mary, suffered, was crucified, truly died, and rose again bodily, all for our sins.
14. JESUS ascended into heaven intercedes on our behalf before the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Jesus was a great teacher, and His teachings are the very teachings of God.

MORALITY
15. The Catholic Church bases its moral Teachings on the message of Jesus. Morality boils down to love: loving God and loving our neighbors.
THE SACRAMENTS
16. The sacraments are rituals and events through which God gives grace. Catholics and Orthodox accept seven sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Matrimony, and Anointing of the Sick.

SALVATION AND GRACE
17. Catholics believe we are saved only by God's grace working in us. Justification is the merciful and freely given act of God which takes away our sins and makes us just and holy in our whole being and is the beginning of free response to God, that is faith in Christ and cooperation with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
18. Catholics believe in salvation by grace alone, solely on account of the work of Christ. However, neither Catholics nor Orthodox accept the reformation concept of forensic justification or "justification by faith alone."
19. The Catholic Church does believe a person must be born again to be saved. However, Catholics believe that one is born again at Baptism. In fact, when Christians for the first 1500 years of Christianity, including Martin Luther, used the phrase "born again," they were referring to baptism.
20. The Catholic Church recognizes the possibility of salvation for Protestants and even for non-Christians, although in Catholic Teaching, all salvation comes through Jesus, who is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life."

SIN
21. Sin is the deliberate, freely chosen, transgression of divine law.
22. There are two types of sin: mortal sin and venial sin. Sin that expels all charity from the soul is mortal, while sin that merely weakens charity is venial.
23. For a sin to be mortal, the offense must be serious (have grave matter), and the act done freely, with deliberation. After committing a mortal sin, one must receive the sacrament of reconciliation before receiving communion.
24. Sin entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Original Sin is the privation of grace, inherited by all humans from Adam and Eve.
25. Because of Christ's atoning death on the cross, we have the opportunity to have our sins forgiven, and this is not possible apart from God's grace.

THE VIRGIN MARY
26. Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, thus she is called theotokos (God-Bearer) and "mother of God."
27. Catholics, like Protestants, believe that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. However, Catholics and Orthodox believe that Mary remained a Virgin her entire life.
28. Catholics believe that Mary was conceived without original sin in order to be a sinless bearer of God incarnate: Jesus Christ. This is known as the immaculate conception. This sinless state was accomplished only on account of God's grace, and not on Mary's merits.
29. Although the Orthodox Church believes that Mary was sinless when bearing Jesus, they are disunited as to the moment at which she became sinless is debated. Catholics and Orthodox both believe that after Mary completed the course of her earthly life, she was assumed into heaven, similar to the way the great saint Elijah was.
30. Mary is the Mother of us and the mother of the Church, and just as Christ is the new Adam, Mary is the new Eve, who obeyed God where Eve disobeyed.


Which of these have you been blessed to with? Floor open.

NOTE

1. Please always state your Church before commenting.
2. On some occasions those who fail to state their churches are simply ashamed of that church...and
3. A few persons people without church affiliation are simply irresponsible, not wanting to be held against some known principles!

I also think this question
"When did I say that the attacks on those who fellowship and any who are associated with them in Angola is justified?" is definitely a rhetorical question..

News reports from Jesus Christ of Jalingo are now saying that Nothing justifies any evil act on a particular group based on religious beliefs.

Please don't touch that dial. A guilty heart is responding to my transmission, but I did not mention anybody's name. GOD IS GREAT!

hemartins:
Comment avez-vous connu mon nom, Laisse-moi expliquer en anglais. Why should I state my church before commenting, are you trying to preach disunity here. Not stating the name of your Church doesn't mean you are ashamed. If you feel free leaving your house to your church, how does that mean shame. Those without any church affiliation are not irresponsible. You definitely forgot that not everyone has the same believe. Responsibility is not a function of church affiliation. Dieu vous bénisse frère

Bien. Vous Avez Raison. Many persons often behave like pot-calling-kettle black while others cannot even tolerate the laws they want others to obey and they come on loudly to advocate and accuse others.
You see, those who are practitioners of religion are responsible in the sense they accept to be bound by some principles. That is what is called responsibility, whereas a few (not all) like to avoid being bounded by those guidelines. They like to be able to shift goal-posts and change what they had earlier been known to be committed to.

So you see that at no time did any one imply that Those without any church affiliation are not irresponsible

NOTE

A few persons people without church affiliation are simply irresponsible, not wanting to be held against some known principles

FACTS ABOUT HOW CHURCH SEES ITSELF

THE HOLY BIBLE

1 The Church believes that, the Holy Bible, consisting of 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament, is the inspired Word of God.
2. We take the Bible as final authority in all matters concerning Christian conduct and works. 2 Timothy 3:16,17; Proverbs 30:5,6; Revelation 22:18,19.

THE GODHEAD

3. The Church believes that, the Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and recognizable personalities and qualities, perfectly united in one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are different Persons in the Godhead, not merely three names for one Person. Mathew 3:16, 17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Mathew 28:19,20.

VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST

4. The Church believes in the virgin birth of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God.

5. The Church believes in the crucifixion, death, burial and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 7:14; Mathew 1:18-25; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4.

TOTAL DEPRAVITY

6. The total depravity sinfulness and guilt of all men since the Fall, renders them subject to God’s wrath and condemnation. Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4; Romans 3:23; 5:12-17; Mark 7:21-23; Ephesians 2:1.
REPENTANCE

7. Repentance is a complete turning away from all sins and its deceitful pleasures and that it is required from every sinner before he can truly and effectively believe in Jesus with saving faith. Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:21-23; Mark 1:15; Luke 24:46,47; Acts 2:38; 3:19,21; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Hebrews 6:1-3.

RESTITUTION, JUSTIFICATION

8. Restitution is making amends for wrongs done against our fellow men, restoring stolen things to the rightful owners, paying debts, giving back where one has defrauded, making confessions to the offended and apologizing to those slandered so as to have a conscience void of offence towards God and man. Genesis 20:1-8; 14-18; Exodus 22:1-7; Leviticus 6:1-17; Numbers 5:6-8; 2 Samuel 12:1-6; Proverbs 6:31; Ezekiel 33:14-16; Mathew 23:24; Luke 19:8,9; Acts 23:1-5; 24:16; James 4:17; 5:6.

9. justification (or Regeneration) is the act of God’s grace whereby one receives forgiveness and remission of sins and is counted righteous before God, through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus, standing before God as though he had never sinned. Psalms 32:1,2; Isaiah 1:18; Micah 7:19; John 3:3-8;; Acts 13:38,39; Romans 3:24-30; 4:6-16; 5:1,2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:23.

SANCTIFICATION

10 That Entire Sanctification is a definite act of God’s grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer’s heart is purified and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works, struggle or suppression, but is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart are central to Christian living. Luke 1:74,,75; John 17:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 4:3,7,8; 5:22-24; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 2:11; 10:10,14; 13:11,12; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:7; Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 1:14-16.


REDEMPTION

11. It accepts that, Redemption from the curse of the law, Healing of sickness and disease as well as continued Health are provided for all people through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Exodus 15:26; Deuteronomy 7:15; Psalms 103:1-5; Proverbs 4:20-22; Isaiah 8:16,17; 1 Peter 2:24; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 13:16; John 14:12-14; 10:10; Acts 10:38; James 5:14-16; 1 John 3:8; 3 John 2; Galatians 3:13,14.

WATER BAPTISM

12. The Church BELIEVES That Water Baptism is essential to our obedience after reconciliation with God.

13. Water Baptism is one immersion (not three) “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” as Jesus commanded. Mathew 28:19; 3:13-17; Mark 16:15; Acts 2:38,39; 19:1-6; Romans 6:4,5.

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

14 The Church believes that the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is the enduement of power from on High upon the sanctified believer. It is “the promise of the Father” and when one receives this “gift of the Holy Ghost”, it is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking a language unlearned previously, referred to as speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Mathew 3:11; Acts 1:88; Luke 3:16; 24:49; John 1:30-33; 7:37-39; 14:16,17,26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:5-8; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:1-18; 10:44-46; 19:1-6.

15. We do not teach or instruct people how to speak in tongues; the Holy Spirit gives utterance. We also stress the necessity of Purity before Power. The Gifts of the Spirit are for today. 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40.

LORD’S SUPPER

16. According to the church, the Lord’s Supper was constituted by Jesus Christ so that all believers (all members of the family of God) might partake thereof regularly, to “shew the Lord’s death till He come”. The emblems used are “unleavened bread” and the juice of “fruit of the vine”. Anyone who eats and drinks unworthily brings “damnation”, punishment and chastisement upon himself. Mathew 26:26-29; Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30.


PERSONAL EVANGELISM

17. The church believes in Personal Evangelism it is said to be a God-given and God-ordained ministry for every believer. Jesus commanded and God requires every believer to be a compassionate and fruitful soul winner, bringing others to Christ. Mathew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-49; John 17:18; Acts 1:8; 8:1-4; Psalms 126:5,6; Proverbs 11:30; Daniel 12:3; Ezekiel 3:17-21.

MARRIAGE

18. The church creed is that, Marriage is binding for life. Monogamy is the uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God’s perfect will and institution. The Bible forbids a believer marrying an unbeliever. Also, under the New Testament dispensation, no one has a right to divorce and remarry while the first companion lives.

19. When a person becomes converted, necessary restitution, on the aspect of marriage must be done without delay if he has married wrongly. Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy 7:1-4; Joshua 23:11-13; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Proverbs 31:10-31; Malachi 2:14-15; Romans 7:2,3; Ephesians 5:31-33; Mathew 5:31,32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18; John 4:15-19; Genesis 20:3,7.

RAPTURE

20. Rapture (the first phase or stage of the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST) is the catching away from the earth of all living saints; and all who died in the Lord. The Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation and can happen any time from now. “In a twinkling of an eye” without a moment’s warning, “the trumpet shall sound”, “and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” John 14:1-3; Luke 21:34-36; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:4-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:5-7; Philippians 3:11,20,21; 1 John 3:1-3.

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

21. The Resurrection of the dead is taught in the Bible as clearly as the immortality of the soul. Every individual who has ever lived will be resurrected, some to honor and glory and others to everlasting shame and contempt. Job 19:25-27; Psalm 71:20; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; John 5:28,29; 1 Corinthians 15:12-57; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16; Hebrews 6:1,2; Philippians 3:8-11; Revelation 20:4,6,12,13.

GREAT TRIBULATION

22. There is a Great Tribulation which will occur after the Rapture and will be a time of terrible suffering on earth. It is also referred to as the time of Jacob’s trouble. Mathew 24:21,22,29; Revelation 9:16; Mark 13:19; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Revelation 13. During this time, the Antichrist will take possession of this world for a reign of terror. He will not be a system or organization but a person – a supernatural diabolical being, in the form of a man who will blaspheme and proclaim himself to be God (Daniel 8:23,25; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12; Revelation 13:1-10). The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will take place above while the tribulation continues on earth Revelation 19:1-10.

SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

23. The Second Coming of Christ will be just as literal and visible as His going away, and He is coming to execute judgment upon the ungodly. He will also, then, set up His Kingdom and reign on this present earth for a thousand years. Zechariah 14:3,4; Mathew 25:31-46; Mark 13:24-37; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; 2:8; Jude 14,15.

CHRIST’S MILLENNIAL REIGN

24. Christ’s Millennial Reign is the 1,000 years’ literal reign of Jesus on earth, which will be ushered in by the coming of Jesus back to earth with ten thousands of His saints. At this time He will judge the nations that dwell upon the face of the earth. Jude 14,15; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. During this time the devil will be bound. Revelation 20:2,3. It will be a reign of peace and blessing. Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 14:9-20; Isaiah 2:2-4.

GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT

25. The Great White Throne Judgment is when God finally judges all (the living and the dead, small and great) who have ever lived on the face of the earth, according to their works. This is after the Millennium. At this time, the final Judgment known as the Great White Throne Judgment, will be held.

26. All those from all ages, who have not yet been judged will stand before God at the time of the Great White Throne Judgment. The devil and his angels are judged at this time also and sent to the lake of fire forever. Dan 12:2,3; Matt 10:15; 11:21-24; 12:41,42; John 5:28,29; Rom 2:15,16; 14:12; 2 Pet 2:9; Jude 6; 1 Cor 6:1-4; Acts 10:42; Rev 20:11-15.

NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH

27. That the New Heaven and the New Earth “wherein dwelleth righteousness” will be made by God and the redeemed shall dwell with God forever.

28. This present earth, which has been polluted by sin, will pass away after the Great White Throne Judgment (Psalm 102:25,26; Isaiah 51:6; 65:17; Mathew 5:18; 24:35; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:1). No unclean thing will be there. We shall know each other, our knowledge having been perfected. There will be no more curses upon anything. There will be no more night, the glory of the Lord will be the light thereof. Isaiah 66:22; 2 Peter 3:12,13; 1 Cor 13:12; 1 John 3:2,3; Rev 21:1-7; 22:1-5.

HELL FIRE

29. That Hell-fire is a place of everlasting punishment where sinners (all who do not have their names in the book of life) will suffer torments forever and ever. It was prepared for the devil and his angels (Mathew 25:41) but God has decreed that the wicked and those who forgets Him and reject Christ will also be cast there because of their sin and neglect of His salvation. Ps 9:17; Mt 25:46; Lk 12:4,5; 16:19-31; Mt 5:22,30; Mk 9:43-47; Rev 14:10,11; 20:12-15.

TRADITION
30. The history of Deeper Life is very much the personal story of W.F. Kumuyi who is described as a gifted man, clear-thinking and humble and dedicated Christian. He is now accepted as having the title [b ‘the man of God[/b],’.

we should be thanking God that Issah Hayatou aint no longer in power.

during his reign, Cameroun controversially hoisted Nigeria of two w/cup tickets. we will still beat them in Limbe.

Na soooo

According to the Jesus Christ of Jalingo, since the watchtower publication (published by JW) discourages blood transfusion which is not the bible and since the JW people like adding new things to their bible and since people like pushing blame to the bible eg bible says we should die or our children die rather than accept blood transfusion, then the attacks on those who fellowship and any who are associated with them in Angola is justified!

You may turn in disgust when you read this story

I want to bring this story to your notice as an alert. Scammers have been committing crime of passion for a long time and this story is no exception!
A female struggling teacher got along with a male character on the internet. Through a Facebook group she met one Kelly David, (https://web.facebook.com/keldav.358) who claimed to be a white man. The discussions later went into the direction of marriage.

After some familiarization, David (+4420332293313) said he has decided to send her a laptop and a phone so that they can both chat conveniently and in real time on the Skype platform. The package was supposed to arrive via some British Airways Cargo.
In fact one week ago, he called her to say that the surprise package has arrived which also contains cash of up to 1 million Naira.

After that information, a certain official Mr. Jonathan (+234 08165849208) at the the Abuja airport called to tell her that the package will have to be home delivered and that she will need to pay some 98, 000. The so called Mr. Kelly David had earlier claimed that he had issues with UK immigration and that he will not want the package retraced back to him. In fact, he threatened this struggling teacher lady that she could be arrested if she attempted to go to collect the package herself.

Finally, She was told by the airport official, Mr. Jonathan@the Abuja airport that she needed to pay more 200,000 Naira in to the following account:
Bank: Access Bank Plc
Account Number: 0717695670
Account Name: Roland Uyi Felix

So total money paid was about 300, 000. She was told that this additional money was needed because customs had scanned the package and discovered it contained cash which is an illegal thing!

If you're following this post, you use ya head to do the math. Davids phone went off, Jonathan Phone went off everybody went off! The rest is history.

I may be able to fill in the gaps if I've missed anything out, because I know the story.
