Christianity Etc › Was Peter The First "Pope"? by cbrass(op): 12:21am On May 29, 2016
Roman Catholicism teaches that the apostle Peter was the first "pope" and that there has been an unbroken line of Pope since Peter. From this belief they proclaim that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true church because Peter (and the Catholic Church) were given the "keys", so to speak, to the kingdom of God and no other church has been given those keys. The Catholic Church base this teaching on those well known words that Christ Jesus spoke to Peter in Matthew:

Matthew 16:18 ...'And I say unto thee Peter, thou art Peter [petros], and upon this Rock [petra] will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'

So who was the "rock" [petra] that Christ was talking about? Was it Peter like the Catholics believe? Or was Christ speaking of Himself? Well, we are going to use the best way of getting to the TRUTH of this verse, by using the Bible to interpret itself.

How did the Disciples Interpret This?

Would you agree that the best way to interpret these words from Jesus is to find out how the other apostles who heard these very words understood them? After all, if Jesus really did mean that Peter was to be the "head" of the church, then we should find some support for this in the rest of the New Testament writings.

Let us start with the very apostle who these words were directed at; Peter. Who did Peter believe was the "rock" upon which the church was to be built? Speaking of Jesus Christ before the people, Peter said:

Acts 4:11-12 ...'This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.'

Ok, is there any reference at all here from Peter that the church was to be built upon himself? No, he clearly points to Christ Jesus as the "stone" or "rock" that the church is to be built on, with Jesus being the HEAD of it.

A rebuke to Roman Catholicism from the very man they believe to be their leader and first pope!

What about the apostle Paul. Who did he proclaim as the "rock"? Well, in all of Paul's writings in the New Testament, not once does he refer to Peter as any kind of leader of the church. But he does share something interesting:

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 ...'Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.'

The Greek word for "rock" here is the same one used by Jesus in Matthew 16, which is "PETRA". And Paul is clearly pointing to Christ Jesus as that "Petra" (Rock).

Unbroken Line of Popes?

Another teaching the Roman Catholic Church puts forward is the teaching that there has been an unbroken line of Popes since Peter. But there is a problem with this teaching also. First, no Christians for FOUR CENTURIES after the time of Christ believed that Peter was the leader of the church. This teaching wasn't accepted until around A.D.445 during the reign of Pope Leo I. It was only during this time that the Catholic Church needed to find some Biblical support for Papal supremacy.

The other problem with this teaching of an unbroken line is that in A.D.1045, Pope Benedict IX was ran out of office because of his unworthiness, with Silvester III taking his place. When Benedict IX returned, he sold the Papal throne to Gregory VI, but still refused to give up his own claim to the throne. So at this time, all three men claimed to be the legitimate Pope! Then in 1046, the German Emperor Henry III settled it by deposing all three Popes and appointing a fourth, Clement II.

So history hardly supports this "unbroken line" of Popes.

There can only be ONE head of the body (church) and that is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:18)

Webmasters › Re: How Can One Start A Payment Processing Company Without Using Interswitch? by cbrass(m): 1:27am On May 28, 2016
CreativeWeb:
It's feasible. We want to disrupt the industry and give Interswitch a serious pressure. Monopoly kills innovation. We need serious competition in the e-payment industry in Nigeria.


Deep pocket is not the issue.

Connection with banks is not a problem.

I just need to sample opinions and get to wrap my head around this business model.

Just tell me everything you know about the industry.

Don't just bother telling me the reasons why I will not make it. I can't believe that because e-payment industry in Nigeria does not belong to Interswitch alone. We are coming in and we are not backing out.
I like your spirit, this are the kind of people I love to work with, people that challenge the norm . Ride on bro. Well I don't know much but if you have the bank support, approach this card bearers like MasterCard etc, you may start with one of them first then look for a services you can sponsor and will be so captivating and cheap that users won't think twice to pay, the reason I said this is because most Nigerians do pay on delivery except you do ATM cards too and POS services , I believe there is an unholy alliance between interswitch and the banks

y r u people putting two head together, saboteurs everywhere, dnt u kn that ss bear some names in common with Easterners. westerner try and get ur brain right, my mum is from the east, my dad is a SS, my native name is Onyekachi. who will ever believe that am from SS. get urselves right. stop preaching hatred cos nairaland have sown hatred in the heart of many tribes. I have Yoruba cousins due to the good intertribal marriage then. but not permitted again cos of ur preach. SS especially rivers have a part called oyigbo, etche, egbema, omuma etc whc all speak Igbo, bear Igbo name and have Igbo culture. likewise delta, some places like ogwashi, isselle ukwu, asaba etc just like the governor's name is Ifeanyi, all bear Igbo name, tradition and culture. The governor of rivers starting from odili, his wife is IMO, amaechi I think is anambra or Enugu, likewise wike.likewise my father's house, r made up core Igbo. the earlier u kn that these two geopolitical zone have many things in common. IMO, abia, akwa ibom, cross river, bayelsa, delta, edo, rivers, ondo have oil wells and r the nigerdelta region. egbema is IMO a boundary with rivers. before u write something, get ur brain intact and have a good write up. u CNT bring hatred between we and people around us, I have every tribe as my friend. stop preaching hatred cos an attack on region will affect the others.
why over work your self for nothing, no one is preaching hatred here undecided

The best thing to do is to understand that you've lost in that game of chess/throne.

I wouldn't block her in my Opinion, I will only become happier and show her that side of me that has always been yearning to come out. I don't think I'll even allow that other side of me to surface cos I'm mature now. I will simply tell her, " Go and be happy. You were wonderful when we dated and I'll always respect you for that."
You are really matured

Culture › Re: Family Of Late Oba Of Benin Are Tenants In The Kingdom-ogiamen Family by cbrass(m): 12:27am On May 27, 2016
OlaoChi:
you are leaving out vital information sir

you didn't mention that ogiso Owodo was banished, he didn't die on the throne his family member Evian was appointed to rule Bini (although without the title Ogiso but simply Ogie), he held firmly to power that he wanted his son to take after him at his dying moment but the Edionisen (now Uzama chiefs) rejected his son and went to Ife to seek guidance. .. Oranmiyan was that guidance but the fact that despite the support of the Edionisen Oranmiyan couldn't rule Bini as Ogiso means that the Ogiso dynasty was already dead


if Oranmiyan was a descendant of Owodo he could have taken the title "Ogiso"


infact Oranmiyan was less than Ogiamien, because the later controlled Bini. Oranmiyan had to build Usama as his capital with the Edionisen who never treated him like a king, they struggled power with him and his descendants until Oba Ewedo(Great grandson of Oranmiyan), all this made him leave Bini in anger.
meanwhile the main city was still striving with the major population behind Ogiamien
this is similar to the case of Ewuare and Uwaifiokun, Ewuare was the rightful king but the Edionisen supported His Junior brother and made the junior king, if not that Ewuare was stubborn enough to fight till the end

so the hostile attitude against Ogiamien might not be because he wasn't the rightful king but just that the Edionisen didn't like him.

if ogiemien isn't the rightful king why does Oba need to rent land from him? this rent Oba Ewedo did despite defeating his army, in a battle to enter the main city, if Ogiamien was ever under the Oba the position should have been abolished by the Oba knowing that two kings cannot reign in one kingdom. Today Ogiamien is a king in his own right and grand landlord of Benin kingdom similar to Lagos where Aromire who is the landlord of the land oba of Lagos rules as king
Mehnn....so where was all the lies we have been hearing these days come from

I say point the "70% igbo" on the list you posted and rushed to let us know. In your stupidity, you mistook SS, middle-belt, etc names as Igbo. Hell the comment you posted stating "Bros I never expose the thing finish o" supports that. Jumping here to do "expose", laughable enough, you ended up proving exactly what people already know. The north and Yoruba holds the highest blocks of oil. Even your own list you posted supports it.

Next time, maybe actually don't embarrass yourself..in this way, you won't be teeing to save face and claiming "NL server is magically refusing you to post the rest". Hilarious
