Benblaq:
hve u eva heard of d word assumption?

Where is it found in the Bible?

Splinz:
1 Kings 7:25-30 depicts the Temple's furnishing. I can't type them here, do it if you want.

Again, I'm disappointed. I was hoping to see graven images like Enoch's, Abraham's, and Israel's own, scattered everywhere in the temple to be worship, venerated or honor. But alas, non was seen, only temple furnishing just like one would furnish his house.

So now tell me. From whence did the command to erect giant idols in your church came from

LOL. He has been jumping and dancing around that question.

Splinz:
Yeah bro, but you missed it when you made your last statement.

The truth is, Mary and and the rest of the saints "inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5), not heaven. For which reasons why Revelation says: "And has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth" (Rev. 5:10).

You're a potential king (under the King of kings) to rule the world my brother!

Well, yes. Heaven will be on earth. The New Jerusalem will descend from Heaven, and GOD's dwelling will be with men.

Did Peter act like he was in charge of the early Church? In the Book of Acts, Paul describes a controversy over whether or not gentile converts to Christianity should be required to be circumcised and follow the Jewish dietary laws. Paul and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to confer with the apostles about it. (Acts 15:2-4) Peter and other people spoke. (Acts 15:7-13) Following a period of silence, James (not Peter) made the final decision in the matter. He called it a "sentence". According to "Strong's Concordance" the word means a judicial sentence, a decree, or a judgment.

"And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: ... Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood." (Acts 15:13, 19-20)

randomperson:
U seem to be on a campaign against the catholic church.... I thought u were a Christian

Yes. By GOD's grace, I try to follow Christ's example. Christianity is different from Roman Catholicism.

It has become a common teaching today that people go to either heaven or hell at death. But does the Bible say so?

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 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." 1 Thess. 4:16-17

People like Mary will be resurrected to inherit Heaven only when Christ comes back.

Omudia11:
Are you kidding me? Mary could be in heaven. After death comes judgment.

Rev. 22:12, Jesus says He's coming quickly to give every man his reward. Jesus has not come, so Mary has not received her reward.

Acts 2:29, Peter tells us that David is still with us on this earth. He too has not gone to Heaven.

Well, what's more weird?

Some of the unflinching atheists you know could be catholic Jesuits. Yes, they can assume such a guise just to push forward the cause of the pope.

Jesuits have wormed their ways into protestant institutions and hierarchies, and even spearheaded opposition to the catholic church, as far as it would contribute positively in the plan to achieve the pope's ultimate goal of global domination.

prittygift114:
Atleast even if we are guilty of what you acuse us of atleast like you said "All the holy men of God in the bible" what about you people who reference your pastors put his pictures here and dere what about you who bow to them who are not even recorded holy

How did you know that I have any pictures in my house?

prittygift114:
please have you been to the grave of Mary? Have you died before for you to open your mouth and speak what you have knowledge of? Don't mid use the mercies of God.

LOL. I'm not misusing the mercies of GOD by saying the Bible truth that Mary is still in her grave.

Jokerman:
Peter had a wife, how was he a pope...

LOL. Oya ask our Roman Bishops who they say they succeeded.

Many life forms which GOD created do not exist on earth today; things like Leviathan and probably dinosaurs and many other ones. They probably disappeared with the flood.

"Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not." Matt. 24:26

Emescot:
Who knows? Maybe hell is a place for satan and his agents where they prepare for the final war with the righteous... Please am just saying my own o

LOL. Read your Bible, friend. The Bible clearly describes how hell will be, and who will be there.

Emescot:
Sometimes i try to explain to myself that there is no hell too, but deep down i know it exists, but i dont think its as bad as christians are making it look

Well, hell, which is the terrible destruction/annihilation which will be the portion of sinners exists, and its worse than anybody can think of(Rev. 6:17; 14:10)

Why should a Christian be afraid of hell, anyway? It's for Satan and his cohorts, who refuse to repent from rebellion and obey GOD.

ginagold01:
Have you ever thought of dieing in your sleep,just right before you have your night rest? This happens to me every night. What creeps me most is that I always feel i'll go to hell. some say deliverance is the best solution, God knows I'm not possessed. If you've been on this road before,please do profer help.

Pray before you sleep, but make sure that you are right with GOD, and that there is no barrier like a cherished sin between you and Him, as that is the only thing that can make a Christian afraid of death. The Lord gives his people sweet sleep devoid of fear(Psa. 127:2). Satan wants us to be in constant fear. But if we endeavour to look into GOD's word daily, we will see His beautiful promise to protect His people, even when they sleep(Psa. 127).

When it's time to sleep in the grave, we will not be afraid because we know that we are right with GOD, and that we will live again in our immortal bodies when He comes in His glory and in His Father's glory.

You can call me a Conspiracy Theorist...

But guess who started the French Revolution?

Yea. You guessed right. Jesuits of the Catholic church. This is not mainstream news, as the Jesuits themselves control major governments and media outlets.

Splinz:
You guys need see these rock solid truths, straight from the Bible.

Kudos bro. Rock solid proofs that Catholics lie when they claim Peter was the first pope! May the LORD bless you for these truths.

I'll bump this thread often to keep it afloat.

In the New Testament there are three words for "stone". "Lithos" means a stone like a mill stone or a stumbling stone. The other two words are "petra" and "petros". "Vine's Expository Dictionary" says that "petra" means "a mass of rock". It defines "petros" as "'a detached stone or boulder,' or a stone that might be thrown or easily moved."

In Matthew 16:18, the word for Peter is "petros," a detached stone that can easily be moved. The word for the rock on which the church is built is "petra," a mass of rock. Other examples of the use of "petra" show what a huge mass of rock is meant by the word. They include the man who built his house on rock, as opposed to sand (Matthew 7:24-27) and the tomb where Jesus' body was put, which was carved out of a rock (Matthew 27:60).

Catholic theologians claim that Jesus built the Christian Church on the Apostle Peter. They base this on Matthew 16:18, where Jesus tells Peter, "And I say unto thee, That thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." A huge doctrine with immense historical consequences has been built upon one short verse. The question is, does the rock on which the church is built represent Peter or does it represent Jesus?

Peter himself answers this question when he says that Jesus is a living stone. (1 Peter 2:4) (This is a Messianic prophecy which Peter quotes from Isaiah 28:16.) The Apostle Paul says that Jesus Christ is our spiritual Rock. (1 Corinthians 10:4) In Romans 9:31-33, Paul says that Jesus was a rock of offense for the Israelites who were trying to be saved by works of the law instead of by faith.

Ranchhoddas, follow the link below to see all the quotes which the pope has made claiming to be high and mighty:

Papist:
The testimony of all the early Christians from Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Constantinople, Carthage etc says Peter was the first bishop of Rome. So I really don't care what the founder of the SDA made up in 19th century America.

LOL. Testimony of which early Christians? When was Peter the Bishop of Rome? When?

The site article in the link I provided was written by an ex-nun.

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light" (1 Peter 2:9)

In the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John confirms Peter's statement that all true believers are priests. (Revelation 1:5-6; 5:9-10; 20:6) (Catholic Bibles refer to the Book of Revelation as "The Apocalypse".)

How does Peter, as portrayed in the Bible, compare with the Pope, who sits on a throne, and is carried on the shoulders of men, seated on a litter like an oriental king? As head of the Catholic Church, the Pope controls immense wealth, with widespread investments around the world. The wealth of the Vatican is amazing.

Peter does not describe himself as being a high and mighty Pope, with authority over the entire Church. Rather, Peter calls himself "a servant". (2 Peter 1:1) He refers to himself as a fellow "elder". (1 Peter 5:1) Rather than claiming special authority for himself, Peter says that all believers are a "royal priesthood". (1 Peter 2:9) He tells Christian leaders that they are not to lord it over other Christians and they are not to covet riches ("filthy lucre" ). (1 Peter 5:2-3)

"The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock." (1 Peter 5:1-3)

Ubenedictus, When was Peter the Bishop of Rome?

I smell a liar on this thread who said he was a Christian.

Ubenedictus:
Another wile goose chase, i rebute this some yrs ago on nairaland, why are u guy also reharsing already rebuted lies?

What rebuttal did you give? Does that oath not belong to the jesuits? Can't the you see the reference before the article?

Ubenedictus:
u have been quoting eusebeuis church history here all day, I quoted it back at u and now it is suddenly incompetent.


if it is incompetent over go and delete d places u quoted it.

When did I quote eusebius? Are you lying or are you confused?

Ubenedictus:
Is it a must that paul must mention him? john was in ephesus for a long time but no one mention him not even paul in his letter to the ephesians!

Paul wrote Ephesians c.60 A.D. John was not in Ephesus then.

act isnt a biography of d apostles, infact the narration on peter stopped at chap 11 and dat on paul took over.

it is largely puerile bothering on fallacious to claim peter wasnt in rome becos u cant find it in ink in d bible.
where did adrew preach?

Stop lying. Read competent history, not church lies.

I enjoin you all to follow the link below to see the kind of organization found in the catholic church, which claims to follow Christ:

orisa37:
Yes. St. James was also a Pope in Alexandria

Are you sure? Have you read the article in the link I provided?

Ubenedictus:
another interesting thing is that ur article have been quoting eusebeius, but clearly u didn't even read the book u claim to quote.


eusebeius wrote that peter was in rome and even died there yet u deny it.. https://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf201.iii.vii.xxvi.html

NA wa for u, which kind cunny copy and paste u go copy?

Paul wrote 5 letters(Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 2 Timothy and Philemon) from a Roman prison, yet he made no mention of Peter. Why?

Acts 28:14-15, Paul met with the brethren in Rome, but made no mention of Peter. Why?

Since the book of Acts is the history of the church up until a few years before Peter's death, why didn't the book of Acts mention Peter's visit to Rome, if there was any? When did Peter visit Rome?

In Romans 16:1-15, Paul greets 26 people by name. If Peter was the leader of the church in Rome, why did Paul not mention him?
