Theblessed: [size=16pt]Hehehe!!

Let me inform you once more - you see, it is you who do not understand the doctrine of Jesus Christ, ok!

I am telling you now, 'Thou shall not confess to man - because he is mortal a sinner', gorit?

Rather confess privately or openly, quietly or vocally in spirit any where you like to your God, to Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, and stop blindly following Church doctrines that would take you to hell, as there won't be any Churches/Ministries in HEAVEN - but, only ONE FAMILY OF GOD with host of Angel plus us who believe and followed God's Principles, OK...!

There won't be Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Apostolic, Evangelical or any such congregation in Heaven, get it in order to save your soul and sto


p arguing, ok![/size]

jusRadical: This hows how gullible you catholics are. How can JESUS call woman in relation to himself while HE (when HE was on the cross) called her mother in relation to apostle John.

You catholics are just turning the Bible upside down. JESUS called mary woman and you claimed that woman means mother even when it was clear that HE distinctively said "......mother behold your son........" This clearly shows that he knows the difference.

Saint Paul mentioned of Cephas taking along a believing wife and you claim that he never meant wife but female assistant. Read all the epistles of apostle Paul and you will know that when he wrote wife, he meant just it, wife!

Continue to decieve yourselve for the bible saays in Revelation 13:10a,
If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity will he go...........

naijadeyhia: [b]ALL THE HERESIES IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND DATES ARE LISTED BELOW:

OF ALL THE HUMAN TRADITIONS taught and practiced by the Roman Catholic Church, which are contrary to the Bible, the most

ancient are the prayers for the dead and the sign of the Cross. Both began 300 years after Christ. 310 AD

Veneration of angels and dead saints 370 AD

The Mass, as a daily celebration, adopted 394 AD

The worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the use of the term, "Mother of God", as applied to her, originated in the Council of Ephesus 431 AD

Priests began to dress differently from the laity 500 AD

Extreme Unction 526 AD

The doctrine of Purgatory was first established by Gregory the Great 593 AD

The Latin language, as the language of prayer and worship in churches, was also imposed by Pope Gregory I. 600 years after Christ

The Bible teaches that we pray to God alone. In the primitive church never were prayers directed to Mary, or to dead saints. This practice began in the Roman Church.

(Matthew 11:28; Luke 1:46; Acts 10:25-26; 14:14-18) 600 AD
The Papacy is of pagan origin. The title of pope or universal bishop, was first given to the bishop of Rome by the wicked emperor Phocas.

This he did to spite Bishop Ciriacus of Constantinople, who had justly excommunicated him for his having caused the assassination of his predecessor emperor Mauritius. Gregory 1, then bishop of Rome, refused the title, but his successor, Boniface III, first assumed title "pope."

Jesus did not appoint Peter to the headship of the apostles and forbade any such notion. (Luke 22:24-26; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18; 1st Corinthians 3:11).

Note: Nor is there any mention in Scripture, nor in history, that Peter ever was in Rome, much less that he was pope there for 25 years; Clement, 3rd bishop of Rome, remarks that "there is no real 1st century evidence that Peter ever was in Rome." 610 AD

The kissing of the Pope's feet

It had been a pagan custom to kiss the feet of emperors. The Word of God forbids such practices. (Read Acts 10:25-26; Revelation 19:10; 22:9). 709 AD

The Temporal power of the Popes

When Pepin, the usurper of the throne of France, descended into Italy, called by Pope Stephen II, to war against the Italian Lombards, he defeated them and gave the city of Rome and surrounding territory to the pope. Jesus expressly forbade such a thing, and He himself refused worldly kingship. (Read Matthew 4:8-9; 20:25-26; John 18:38). 750 AD


Worship of the cross, images and relics was authorized

This was by order of Dowager Empress Irene of Constantinople, who first caused to pluck the eyes of her own son, Constantine VI, and then called a church council at the request of Hadrian I, pope of Rome at that time.

Such practice is called simply IDOLATRY in the Bible, and is severely condemned. (Read Exodus 20:4; 3:17; Deuteronomy 27:15; Psalm 115). 788 AD

Holy Water, mixed with a pinch of salt and blessed by the priest, was authorized 850 AD

The veneration of St. Joseph began 890 AD

The baptism of bells was instituted by Pope John XIV 965 AD

Canonization of dead saints, first by Pope John XV AD

Every believer and follower of Christ is called saint in the Bible. (Read Romans 1:7; 1st Colossians 1:2).

Fasting on Fridays and during Lent were imposed

Imposed by popes said to be interested in the commerce of fish. (Bull, or permit to eat meat), some authorities say, began in the year 700. This is against the plain teaching of the Bible. (Read Matthew 15:10; 1st Corinthians 10:25; 1st Timothy 4:1-3).
The Mass was developed gradually as a sacrifice; attendance made obligatory in the 11th century.

The Bible teaches that the sacrifice of Christ was offered once and for all, and is not to be repeated, but only commemorated in the Lord's Supper. (Read Hebrews 7:27; 9:26-28; 10:10-14).

The celibacy of the priesthood was decreed by Pope Hildebrand, Boniface VII

Jesus imposed no such rule, nor did any of the apostles. On the contrary, St. Peter was a married man, and St. Paul says that bishops were to have wife and children. (Read 1st Timothy 3:2,5, and 12; Matthew 8:14-15). 1079 AD

The Rosary, or prayer beads was introduced by Peter the Hermit, in the year 1090 AD. Copied from Hindus and Mohammedans

The counting of prayers is a pagan practice and is expressly condemned by Christ. (Matthew 6:5-13). 1090 AD
The Inquisition of heretics was instituted by the Council of Verona in the year 1184 AD. Jesus never taught the use of force to spread His religion 1184

The sale of Indulgences, commonly regarded as a purchase of forgiveness and a permit to indulge in sin.

Christianity, as taught in the Bible, condemns such a traffic and it was the protest against this traffic that brought on the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. 1190 AD
The dogma of Transubstantiation was decreed by Pope Innocent III, in the year

By this doctrine the priest pretends to perform a daily miracle by changing a wafer into the body of Christ, and then he pretends to eat Him alive in the presence of his people during Mass. The Bible condemns such absurdities; for the Lord's Supper is simply a memorial of the sacrifice of Christ. The spiritual presence of Christ is implied in the Lord's Supper. (Read Luke 22:19-20; John 6:35; 1st Corinthians 11:26). 1215
Confession of sin to the priest at least once a year was instituted by Pope Innocent III., in the Lateran Council

The Bible commands us to confess our sins direct to God. (Read Psalm 51:1-10; Luke 7:48; 15:21; 1st John 1:8-9). 1215 AD
The adoration of the wafer (Host), was decreed by Pope Honorius

So the Roman Church worships a God made by human hands. This is plain idolatry and absolutely contrary to the spirit of the Gospel. (Read John 4:24). 1220AD

The Bible forbidden to laymen and placed in the Index of forbidden books by the Council of Valencia

Jesus commanded that the Scriptures should be read by all. (John 5:39; 1st Timothy 3:15-17). 1229

The Scapular was invented by Simon Stock, an English monk

It is a piece of brown cloth, with the picture of the Virgin and supposed to contain supernatural virtue to protect from all dangers those who wear it on naked skin. This is fetishism. 1287 AD

The Roman Church forbade the cup to the laity, by instituting the communion of one kind in the Council of Constance

The Bible commands us to celebrate the Lord's Supper with unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine. (Read Matthew 26:27; 1st Corinthians 11:26-29). 1414

The doctrine of Purgatory was proclaimed as a dogma of faith by Council of Florence

There is not one word in the Bible that would teach the purgatory of priests. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sins. (Read 1st John 1:7-9; 2:1-2; John 5:24; Romans 8:1). 1439 AD

The doctrine of 7 Sacraments affirmed

The Bible says that Christ instituted only two ordinances, Baptism and the Lord's Supper. (Read Matthew 28:19-20; 26:26-28). 1439 AD

The Ave Maria, part of the last

It was completed 50 years afterward and finally approved by Pope Sixtus V, at the end of the 16th century. 1508 AD
The Council of Trent, held in the year 1545, declared that Tradition is of equal authority with the Bible

By tradition is meant human teachings. The Pharisees believed the same way, and Jesus bitterly condemned them, for by teaching human tradition, they nullified the commandments of God. (Read Mark 7:7-13; Colossians 2:8; Revelation 22:18). 1545

The apocryphal books were added to the Bible also by the Council of Trent

These books were not recognized as canonical by the Jewish Church. (See Revelation 22:8-9). 1546 AD

The Creed of Pope Pius IV was imposed as the official creed 1560 years after Christ and the apostles

True Christians retain the Holy Scriptures as their creed. Hence their creed is 1500 years older than the creed of Roman Catholics. (Read Galatians 1:. 1560

The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary was proclaimed by Pope Pius IX

The Bible states that all men, with the sole exception of Christ, are sinners. Mary herself had need of a Savior. (Read Romans 3:23; 5:12; Psalm 51:5; Luke 1:30,46,47). 1834 AD

In the year 1870 after Christ, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of Papal Infallibility

This is a blasphemy and the sign of the apostasy and of the antichrist predicted by St. Paul. (Read 2nd Thessalonians 2:2-12; Revelation 17:1-9; 13:5-8,18).

Many Bible students see the number of the beast (Rev. 13:18), 666 in the Roman letters of the Pope's title: "VICARIVS FILII DEI." -- V-5, I-1; C-100, I-1; V-S, I-1; L-50, I-1; I-1; D-500, I-l — Total, 666. 1870
Pope Plus X, in the year 1907, condemned together with "Modernism", all the discoveries of modern science which are not approved by the Church

Pius IX had done the same thing in the Syllabus of 1864. 1907
In the year 1930 Pius XI, condemned the Public Schools 1930
In the year 1931 the same pope Pius XI, reaffirmed the doctrine that Mary is "the Mother of God"

This doctrine was first invented by the Council of Ephesus in the year 431. This is a heresy contrary by Mary's own words. (Read Luke 1:46-49; John 2: l-5). 1931
In the year 1950 the last dogma was proclaimed by Pope Pius XII, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary 1950

CONCLUSION

What will be the next invention? The Roman Church says it never changes; yet, it has done nothing else but invent new doctrines which are contrary to the Bible, and has practiced rites and ceremonies taken bodily from paganism. Some scholar has found that 75% of the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Church are of pagan origin.

HERESIES are those doctrines and practices which are contrary to the Bible. They are also called "human traditions" or "doctrines of men". Both Peter and Paul predicted and warned that in the later times "false teachers" would rise within the Church and bring in "damnable heresies" and "doctrines of devils". (Read 2nd Peter 2:1-3, and 1st Timothy 3:2-5). Jesus rebuked the Pharisees, for they transgressed the commandments of God by keeping their traditions. “in vain,” He said, "they worship me by keeping for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:3,9).

The real heretics therefore, are the Roman Catholics and the true orthodox are the Evangelical Christians.

BRETHREN! The Word of God commands us to get out of Babylon, saying: "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4). All true Christians will remain faithful to the religion of Christ as taught in the Bible, and heed the warning of the Apostle Paul, who said: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:.

andyzoga: So,tell us about Shepherd 1 &2.

ijawkid: SMH!!!!!.......

Stop bowing down to an image...

How I wish u guys lived in the times of the isrealites....you know what would have happened to you guys....

Did Jesus bow down to any imAge??

benalvino: didnt i say the bible command us to honour our father and mother? the point am giving the way mary is honour is worship not honouring... and they worship her with image which is complete idolatry. how can people bow to a molded image?

ziga: I read Mr. Lab scientist post and it made absolutely no sense... Hyperlipidemia turns into Hypertension through a lab test. Chai, Super story!!!

I think Mr. lab scientist will do better at writing Nollywood scripts.

torres2: Is election the right way of electing

God's annointed serveant. #justasking.

2sa2: oh, this is ignorance at its peak. and who told you Mary is alive? Where in the bible is that written. She died long ago. She is not even recognised in heaven. If she lived a life of sin before she died she will still go to hell, God will not say because she gave birth to jesus she would be spared.

Vado: Thank you bro for educating them. God's explicit words of no graven images is so clear. Disobidience in that regard spells nothing but spiritual condemnation even it was meant to glorify or please Christ or Jehova himself.

I'm even more puzzled by the fact that even the catholic or any other church for that matter can't prove what Jesus or Mary actually looked like with all these images. They just mold a human with a meek-looking appearance and start bowing to such as a mark of respect. Good intention I must say but it's still idolatry because those things are made of mere mortals. Relationship with God through Jesus is spiritually based. All these images, symbolism like crucifix, rosary etc to me are off no importance to attaining spiritual righteousness.

Mary was a normal human like every other mothers out there. Her chasteness and the need for Christ to come in that era and in human form neccessitated her being chosen. This doesn't mean there are no women as pure as she was in this present day. If the first-coming of Christ was meant to be in this century for instance, another Mary would have been chosen to serve as a pathway.

And in re-enforcing what someone said earlier, the only church is the body of Christ which all born-again christians are parts of. Ain't nuffin like a mother church just as there's nothing like a mother-heaven or mini-hell.

metti: Why do you ask Mary to pray and hear your prayers? The Bible says there is only one mediator between man and God, Jesus
Christ.

okpara ugo: And they havent shown me a verse of the bible which supports honouring mary.

Jesus told peter to feed his sheep b4 goin to heaven but never called him pope so i dont have any problem with that.

For me, the most important thing is to make heaven and hear Christ say to me ''well done thou good and faithful servant'' and not all these religiousity.

metti: Why do you ask Mary to pray and hear your prayers? The Bible says there is only one mediator between man and God, Jesus Christ.

ijawkid: Did I just see you post peter as the first pope??...permit me to ask which peter.....was it the peter that was with Jesus and the other apostles or some other anonymous peter??............did the apostles or the scriptures mention any fellow like LINUS the purported successor of peter??....abeg make ona help me o........

selingel: The fact is, Mikel actually received two Yellow cards, and shouldn't have been cleared. The error actually came from the 2nd referee who didnt register Mikel's second yellow card. As a result, CAF has only one yellow card. That clears Mikel of any blame, even though in Nigeria's camp, it was widely speculated that Mikel wont play CIV match, as they knew the truth. In this case, who will you blame?

promire2004: Bushybabe, sorry Buchibabe, why are you soooo devoid of trust. In your other post, you were proud of cheating on your boyfriend without any single feeling of remorse. It's bad enough that there are sexual relationships everywhere which isn't right from the religious perspective. And to think that you attributed your sexual promiscuity to having the grace of God upon your life. Please, stop washing your dirty linen in public. Stop giving the world a wrong impression about women. Although, I hate to admit that I appreciate your bluntness, but please guide your utterances. U ain't married yet, are you? Don't be too sure of urself. #nuff said#.

Dat is MADAM P talking
