One of my favourite saints, St. Augustine is one of the doctors of The church. I recommend you read his epic book, The Confession. It is an autobiography that tells of Augustine's struggle to find God. It helped me understand that the hand of God is working in the life of everyman, even those we consider as terrile sinners. It also gives hope to us Christians in our quest for Happiness, which we can only find in God. One of the best quotes from this piece is: THOU HAS MADE US FOR THYSELF AND OUR SOULS ARE RESTLESS UNTIL THEY REST IN THEE. Another of Augustine's epic is THE CITY OF GOD. These books really explains our belief as christians. If u are interested in these books contact me and i will help u get them for free online.

Jaaiztech u r being biased. Do u believe that in Sapele, Delta state Muslims block the road to the Mosque during their Friday service and nobody frowns at it. The truth is that christians r more tolerant to other religions than muslims. I am not saying this cos I am a Xtian but tell me how many times have u heard of religious crisis in the south.

One question: should this have happened the other way, i.e, a Muslim intruding into a Christian gathering to proclaim Allah as saviour, would this have gone beyond the school and turned into a national issue.

THIS post is prompted by the growing negative impression carried by many about the catholic church. I have been a catholic from birth and see it as a duty to defend the church that has built my faith in Christ, the redeemer of the world. Before anything I must start by saying that the Church has made some mistakes in the past and she has not been ashamed of admitting this. as a matter of fact, an institution that has existed for more than 2000 years is bound to make errors during this period.
If there are any reservations u have against the catholic Church please state them here and I'd be glad to clarify such issues. Please be civilized, no indecent language. Other catholics on nairaland should please contribute to this thread.

Na wa o. Why does any religious question turn into a denominational arguement. I think the best arguement a christian should take up is his/her way of life or the way of life of the congregation especially in terms of love for neighbour. Seeing Christ does not guarantee salvation(afterall Judas saw him, ate with him and even lived with him), likewise miracles does not guarantee salvation (remember The 10 lepers). The only guarantee is our attitude towards our neighbour so let's argue rightly if we must

Haven u met anyone that claimed to be there when it happened. I need such eyewitnesses account

I hv been recieving messages on facebook lately that Jesus appeared in the blessed sacrament of St. Paul Catholic Cathedral in Benin City. Is it true. Exactly how did this happen. Who where the eyewitnesses.

What is your source.

the birth of jesus is different frm that of the ordinary. he was begotten and not made. remember he said; i and the father are one. no man can leave on earth without sin 4 33yrs. only god can achieve that cos he is above sin. even angels fell to sin when they came down to inhabit the earth. therefore jesus was god on earth though took the form of man.

Before the ascension of Jesus christ he established a church under the headship of the desciples. The holy spirit was their guide. In times of conflict and controversies they formed councils in which they met and established a dogma as is seen in the Acts of the apostles on the debate on Jews vs Gentiles. From such councils the church's doctrine was established. Hence the doctrine of the church was formed over time by coming together of anointed men under the leadership of the holy spirit. However, the trend in pentecostal churches is for one man to form a church and his own doctrine and then claim to have had divine revelation. No wonder they tend to modify their practices as the 'one man's' experiences and thoughts change. The church is supposed to be a system passed down from time.

Born again. This is a phrase that has been misused especially among the pentecostal brethren. You would recall that the disciples of christ neva called themselves born again or even christians. Christ explained that being born again is to be born with water and the holy spirit. In the catholic church, baptism, including infant baptism, makes one born again. It is God's given grace that like the apostles, we catholics glorify God for bestowing on us rather than think that it is tru our own powers. Lets leave our actions to speak rather boost about being born again and surely someone would one day notice and say, 'that fellow is a born again'. As for controversy, the Catholic church has existed for 2 millenium so you would expect such controversies. However, some of there so called controversial issues are easily clarified once one read about them from unbiased literatures

I had to make the message as simple as possible: actually like a primary school stuff because its the simple things in life we forget. Besides, the improving economy of Nigeria would result to more dental problems hence the need for an awareness campaign. However, how a better economy could cause more dental problem is a topic for another day.

The mouth is the dirtiest organ in the human body. It contains millions of naturally occuring microbes known as normal flora. It is very important to maintain a good oral hygiene to protect the teeth from tooth decay- caries and to protect against gum disease known as periodontitis. While dental caries may be very painful and may necessitate tooth extraction in extreme cases where all attempts on restoration fails, gum disease could result to loosened tooth pocket and prematured loss of tooth. Gum disease could also result in bad odour from the mouth known as hallitosis. For the above reasons it is necessary to brush the teeth regularly with floridated paste. However, tooth brushing alone cannot completely protect against caries hence the need to see your dentist regularly. If anyone here has dental problem and needs help, it would be my pleasure to give advice tips.
