Syncan: If I may ask, why do you believe that the "bible" and not the Jewish "TANAKH" for instance is the authoritative word of God?

@Superior1, B4 goin further in ur quest to ridicule catholics, Can u giv an ans to this simple question... if not, anybdy arguing wit u get enof tym.... The lord be with you...

@damerry, nice thread bro
@Syncan.. thumbs up..
@Maria, kudos..
I had wantd 2 comment on dis thread b4 nw cos i bliv we all could learn smtin frm here bt wot i realized is dat our bros superior1's mind is already made up, ur motive is not to learn bt to ridicule catholics, both her teachings nd tradations, all ur previous comments on dis thread nd oda threads made it obvious... Which syncan pointd out several tyms, wel more grease 2ur elbow wit dat.... I wasnt thr wen d angel came 2visit Mary nor do i no y God choose her 2b d channel thru which our Jesus can com 2the world, but i definately no dat thr is smtin God saw in her dat made him wait 4 million years b4 comin 2us which i bliv no oda person in d world possesses again which mkes her diff frm odas no wonder wen Elizabeth saw her She said "Wen you greeted me, the child in my womb lept for joy" nd the bible recorded that she sang a song which she said "ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED"... So if u bliv Marys marriage was consumated in sex, gud luck nd if u dnt, same applies.....
Leaving you with the words of one priest i love... Bishop Fulton Sheen
" There are not over a hundred people in the
United States who hate the Catholic Church.
There are millions, however, who hate what
they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church—which is, of course, quite a different thing. These millions can
hardly be blamed for hating Catholics because Catholics “adore statues;” because they “put the Blessed Mother on the same level with God;” because they “say indulgence is a permission to commit sin;” because the Pope “is a Fascist;” because the Church “is the defender of Capitalism.” If the Church taught or believed any one of these things, it should be hated, but the fact
is that the Church does not believe nor teach any one of them. It follows then that the hatred of the millions is directed against error and not against truth. As a matter of fact, if we Catholics believed
all of the untruths and lies which were said
against the Church, we probably would hate
the Church a thousand times more than they
do. If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world, as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church which is accused of being behind the times, as Our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because he called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which amid the confusion of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly, it is other- worldly. Since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. ... the Catholic Church is the only Church existing today which goes back to the time of Christ. History is so very clear on this point, it iscurious how many miss its obviousness..."

All to Jesus, Through Mary our mother...

free2ryhme: Everything you Catholics are saying is irrelevant until one of you can find where in the scriptures that almighty God himself says it is ok to do the things he strictly forbids us to do!!! That is, make, have and bow down to graven images, and worshiping Mary, and keeping the traditions of pagans!!!! Where does he say this in scripture?
If you can't find these things, then that should tell you that something is very wrong with your church doctrine, and is in fact, the doctrine of demons!!

spikes C: Here, i wrote you some tips

https://www.nairaland.com/1383185/personal-health-tips-programmers-people

Big Bro.. Thx alot.. wil do jst wot u said in d writeup...

Syncan: ^^^The secret of the Rosary by St. Luis maria de montfort.
The glories of Mary by St. Alphonsus de liguory
The city of God by Ven. Mary Aggreda

Wonderful master piece they are.

I ve read The secret of the holy rosary nd the ciy of God but havent read The glories of Mary... Wil get it asap.. thx..

Djtm: it's definitely not lack of sleep. It might be the monitor stuff. Always reduce your screen brightness if you're going to spend a lot of time in front of it. Take short breaks. As time goes on, you'll get used to it. I can remember 3yrs ago when I spent two days browsing and coding, (I slept and woke up, ate didn't take a bath) after some time the parallel vertical sides of the screen were almost touching each other at the bottom i.e instead of seeing a square screen, i was seeing a bucket/funnel whatever. But now, I don't spend too much time at once in front of a screen.

...
Thx alot bro.. Wil do as u just said..

I'm new to web designing..
I spent less than 17hours learning how to design a website using Joomla... I finised and slept around 1:00am and woke up around 4:30am but on waking up, my eyes got swollen.... Has anybody experienced it before?

Karl_zee: U ppl are all bunch of fools...otherwise is it only Islam uses Arabic writtin dat u'r all fumbling about

Bro, y u dey vex.. Is it because dey said dat arabic insceiptn shld b removed frm d currency? dnt worry, d nxt 1dat wil b printd wil ve both chinese nd french inscriptn sme of us speak d lang also... by d way BONJOUR...

Dnt worry, wen my broda bcmes d CBN guvnor, hw wil also appeal for "re-design" of d naira note.. he wil giv me d contract which i wil giv 2my sister, which he wil giv 2her husband who wil giv it to his cousin... until it nw gets to my mum-aunt-cousin in china who wil finally print made in china currency for d country nd shipped in 100 containers.....Hehehehehe... Wayo pple..

Its very funny hw quotation of diff chapters nd verses of d bible r flyin around. But d prob is dat none of us even understand d particular msg d author of a part is tryn to say 2us... nd our problem is dat we giv a conclusion on a topic by reading jst 1 chapter or verses of a book...D bible is a very big book wit so many contradictory part dat cnt be understand by mere readin nd lukin @d words literally. I could remember d bible sayin dat "everything jesus taught r nt written dwn in d bible cos if dey were written dwn, d whole book of dis world may nt b able to contain it" and oda tins.nd miracles performd by d apostles nd places visitd nd of death of d apostles including d death of mary( as some said she died nd was buried 2000yrs ago). If these tins were nt written dwn, whr r dey? hw r dey passd frm dat tym to us?, r dey lost?, if nt, who ve dem? nd because it wasnt written dwn, does dat makes dem non-existence or untrue? Nd anoda prob is dat we quote d bible literarily. Most books of d bible were originally written in greek, aramaic, hebrew nd latin nd these languages r very diificult 2read nd interprete ( i tried hebrew 1ce nd it wasnt funny) nd most of these lang ve mre dan 1meanin for a word nd mst tyms doesnt ve a direct meanin to a word jst lik d present english ve. ex can anybody tel me d meanin of cousin in his own native language, i gues d yorubas wil say " òmó aburo abi egbon iya mi" (describing) while d igbos wil say " nwanne or nwa nwanne mama m or nwa nwanna mama m" (describin) we only describe who dat person was nt givin d direct word for it cos d same cousin (direct) can also mean child of my mums or dads bro or sis (describe).. dis is d same prob dose languages had. The best tins is for us to go learn these langs nd get d original versn of d bible dat were written in these languages b4 quotin anytin nd d funnies part is dat even d bible sme of "we" christians r readin nw was d 1 Martin Luther nd John Calvin interpreted which was goten frm d one dat was translated by St. Jerome frm Latin to wot we call "pigin" latin due to high illeteracy den (google it) nd was wot even Martin Luther himself sufferd nd could only be read by d learned nd sme priests nd Martin Luther was also d person dat removed d deterocanonical books frm d bible cos it waz contradictn mst of his teaching (google it).... so my point is b4 u stat askn questn or interpretm
n nd quotin d bible nd using d holy spirit as a back up, ask urself " do i really know d true meanin of wot i am quoting?, is dat d msg d author is tryn 2pass?"

frm wot i ve bin readin so far, almost all ve bin pointn to d bible, nd i ask: who wrote d bible, hw did it came to be, wot we r readn nw, it is d original txt of d authors or d verions dat ve bin waterd dwn thru d ages by diff authors nd who precided over d books dat shld b in d bible and does d true knowledge of Jesus nd his teachings ended in d bible as sme wil say dat if its nt in d bible, den its nt true... and d question goes on and on... Thr is a proverb my old man use to tel me den, he says nd i quote" The more u know, the more u dnt know"... So arguing wheda mary was jst an ordinary envelope used to deliver d msg or wheda she is to b honourd or worship or y Jesus is nt a Nigerian or a black man is nt my concern nd wil neva b cos i'm nt even fit to discuss dem.... So 4dose dat stil wnt to argue mre... GEJ to u...

$£yi:
Lagos state gov saw the need to construct a bridge on a federal waterway to ease the traffic in the state, built the bridge and tolled the bridge after completion.
Lagosians have the option to either use the longer existing route freely or use the shorter newly constructed route.

Already, Lagos gov has successfully reduced the traffic on the old route, such that citizens that don't care about the tolling of the new bridge won't pass the old one, and the fact that many Lagosians are always in haste means many will go for the tolled bridge, leaving the old for the common Lagosians. Thereby splitting the traffic.

What has the federal government been doing all these years that it was obvious that a bridge is needed on that waterway to ease traffic?
If the federal government had constructed the bridge, will the Lagos state gov go ahead to toll the bridge?

Looks like the federal government is discouraging the state government in taking up responsibilities that they(fg) are incompetent of.

The FG shouldn't have mentioned anything related to the bridge, because it is their incompetent @ss that Lagos government is saving.

No sane human will pass through or see the bridge and won't appreciate the brain behind it. In short the Federal government is envious of Lagos state.

Bro or sis... Read nd understand b4 jumpin to conclusion.... We no u wnt to b d 1st to comment.
In Ireland, wen u clbrate ur bday, u r given novels, txt buks nd other literatures as gifts, bt i found out dat here in 9ja, wen u clbrate ur bday, if d clbrant is a guy, he wil b bathe in alcohol nd if its a lady, na ATM go suffer am dat day.. I tink this is a wake up call for us to study (read) nd prove d whites statement wrong dat "if u wnt to hide smtin frm a blackman, hide it in a book"..

Is it that the price of conc acid is nw as low as d price of a cup of ijebu garri? I think d chemical or chemistry body shld restrict or no who 2b sellin this tins to.. Jst lik some drugs in pharmacy, not all pharmaceutical outlets are allowd 2sell som particular types of drugs nd if u wnt 2buy it 4rm d authorised 1s, u've 2com wit a doc. approved leta(signd nd stamped).. this tins r dangerous 2 human health......

i no fit can't stop laffin .... and will muslims allow christians to also build a church in saudi arabia

udatso: Well, I dnt comprehend wot u are saying bt talkn abt standards, mayb u shd tel ur fed govmnt to kp up 2 standards by nt supressing a religion, yl promotn d oda..xtmas tree, does dat wring a bell? Look my dear...dis is jst pure hatred towards islam. ...somtyms, sentiments block d way of reasoning of some people

if u've bin readin my post u would hav understood wot i ve bin sayn bt i guess u are'nt; dat d Nigeria state is a secar state.. yes d xmas tree nd all dat.. bt do u no dat d same fed govt spend alot to make sure Muslims in Nigerian go 2mecca all in d name of hajj? hw many christians hav dey sponsord 2 rome, jerusalem etc?.. wel i am nt tryn 2defend govt bt my own opinion is dat d govt knowin dat Nigeria being an multi ethnic nd religion state shld.nt in any way or form support any group...bt if an individual in govt who may b d president or his vice decides to erect an xmas tree in his name or his family...mst it be termd "supressing islam?" u may tink pple hate ur religion bt dey dnt bt rather wot dey dislike is d way d followers of d religion treat issues witout d others at heart... i could remember around 1986 durin d reign of gen. baba*****, He registered Nigeria in d Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC).. hw many pple complaind or came up to challenge him? Gen. Abacha did d same.. Bt i am sure if Nigeria is termd "A CHRISTIAN NATION" nt even registerd as 1.. i mean boko haram would hav bin a smal case cos i am pretty sure we wil be havn a bigger boko haram....
nd u sayn " sentiment block d reasonin of sme pple" dats alitle bit off d rail... i bliv dis is a forum to educate ourselves nt to insult nd abuse. i guess u r educated so abeg, joor, biko.. use d Right words...

udatso: Nyc write up..but I want u to ansa ds 4 me...do white garment xtrians where dia garment on daily basis; to work, travel, drive,eat,play,......? Am sure d ansa is NO...but guess what....muslims wear hijab always, its nt jst 4 worship places alone..beat dat

nyc write up... i also wnt u 2ans dis 4me...do d lord chosens wear thr orange-green apronlike cloth on daily basis; to work, travel, drive, eat, play? i guess ur ans is yes.... if u wnt d state 2cancel skul uniform 4skul pupils nd evrybdy shld wrar mufti... fyn by me bt nt wen thr is a standard nd because of ur religious belifs, u wnt 2bend it 2suit u, den u r wrong.... thr re countless islamic skuls in lagos whr u can go 2whr u can wear dat 24/7 witout being questnd..

nd u nt wearn d hijab at a particular time of d day or even 2skul, wil dat make u less holy or ur prayrs wnt b answerd wen u pray at dat dat period?

coolheed:
You are missing a vital point here. The issue
at hand relate to a public school funded by
the taxpayers irrespective of religion. Why
will you deny any religion the benefit of
attending a public school. Muslims are
saying that hijab is a fundamental component
of their religious belief and this is supported
by the country's constitution. Any dress code
that violates a constitutional right should be
revisited. Again, dialogue with key
stakeholders appears ...


frm my previous post, thr was no place i said dat muslims shld be denied frm attendin a public skul.. bt my opinion is dat thr shld be a demarcatn btw govt nd religion... Nigeria includin lagos which is 1of her child is a secular state. if muslimz r sayn hijab is a fundamental component of thr religion, r u nw sayn masquerade carryn nd use of charm is nt a fundamental component of d traditnal religion nd wearn of white garment is nt a fundamental component of d celestial churches nd use of orange-green lik apron used by the Lords chosen is nt a fundamental component of thr sect nd nt suppotd by d constitutn? if d state shld allow d muslim gals 2wear thr hijab 2skul den dey shld also be ready 2allow d traditnalist 2wear his masquerade 2skul nd trust oda religiouz groups, dey may even bring snake 2skul all in d name of religion...... rest my case

dis is d reason y mst govt of other countries separatd religion frm govt.... public skul is a skul for.d.whole public ie both muslims, christians, atheist, jews, traditnalist nd.oda riligions which has a common goal ie to hold d common.interest of evry group without prejudice.... so if u allow a muslim.gal to wear her hijab *sorry if my speln.is wrng* to skul al because her religion said so, den u r also teln d pupil frm d traditnal relign 2also wear his fathers masquerade to skul since d muslim.gal can wear hers 2skul. pls thr r limits 2evrytin nd dis is d limit.. so.of d lady wnts 2b wearn dat 2skul, Thr r sevral islamic skuls in lagos nd beyond whr she can be enrolld nd allowd 2wear dat with being questnd or stopd bt nt in Govt or public skul....
