benosa11:
That is the essence of knowing your faith as a Catholic, haven't you heard of stigmata? Read about the life of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Padre Pio

St Francis was not bleeding. Go read

Nodogragra4me:
And one of the things he did that was not written down was delivering a stigmata not making her a heroine in the church.

Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

Luke 8:44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

Nodogragra4me:
Your ignorance of the source of the Bible is epic..... The Catholic Church out the Bible together.... A big laugh.

Nice one. There is law which every bible scholar must understand to correctly interpret scripture...

Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Matthew 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Based on this principle, you cannot take the testimony of one man and make a doctrine out of it. Worse still, his experiences. Every doctrine, prophesy, revelation, teaching, etc must pass this test... Comparing scripture with scripture... and all truth is parallel... The Word never contradicts itself.

DonDiego:
I see. Your last sentence just revealed who you are, the type that argues about the Bible and its contents with those the very Church that put the Bible together. If it's not in the Bible it is not of God must be the most hilariously ignorant comment that anyone who claims to be a Christian can make despite the fact that the very last verse in the gospel according to St John specifically stated that there were so many things Jesus did where left out the Bible as we know it.

I will conclude by sharing St. Thomas Aquinas' famous quote with you:

"

Yea Roman Catholics like to have that window open wide enough to support all the damnable doctrines they bring in

whizcartel:
I think is called stigmata in catholic doctrine... and we reports of it occurring to other people in the past in other countries. But this is the first time I'm seeing communion bread coming out from the mouth and as large that for that matter. National Geographic have done a piece on it. You can go online to check it out.

I've studied the doctrine of stigmata and it is not scriptural. Look well, that bread didn't come of her mouth as the OP would have us misled. They actually offered her the bread to eat.

Nodogragra4me:
Don't compare this demonic exercise with the true account of Jesus Christ encounter with Thomas.... Jesus had a nail driven through palms. He showed same to Thomas.....that is not what you have here.... A woman is tormented seasonally by demons here.

Jesus on this occasion was flesh and bone (no mention of blood).

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

His blood had already been offered as a sacrifice on the mercy seat in heaven. That woman's affliction isn't from God.

Nodogragra4me:
How is it possible for the white circular substance, obviously bigger and wider than her mouth,to come Out of it without being bent or defaced in any way.

Don't mind them...they'll say that one too is a miracle. When people regard church tradition over God's eternal Word, this is what you get.

The large host came out of her mouth ba?

OP... If you know how e dey hungry me to knock you this afternoon.

Because they do not have the Holy Spirit, period.

I remember growing up as a Christian. There was this you guy I was encouraging in the things of God. His mum once asked me what church I attend, when I told her Christ Embassy, she said her son, who had once attended, should not join me to church because in her own words, "that church spoils the children".

Obviously, she had issues with ladies wearing trousers and even makeup as her church forbade such. Meanwhile, i knew the various issues her son was fighting with which we had begun to deal with through God's Word.

Well, i left her son and moved on. If parents know what's good for their kids, they will encourage them to serve God as young poeple should in places like BLW.

Many of such kids get pushed to the point where they detest anything "God".

I hope this man has finally shelved his presidential ambition. His speeches are becoming worse by the day.

I once supported him for his restructuring stand. Now even that one get k-leg.

How did you come about those figures enh aboki... when you cannot get simple census figures right?

NPComplete:
And I feel more sorry for your gullibility. The fact that u are not even willing to even get the full story before running with it shows why religion is usually correlated with stupidity.
I am sure if he said it happened in a mosque, ur natural scepticism will find it's voice.

Why will I argue even if it happens in a shrine.
I am very much aware that this physical world is governed by a spiritual world.

There are different lights but there is only one true light: Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Unless you intend to tell me that He is no longer doing miracles today.

uboma:
lies from the pit of hell

I feel sorry for you

BluntTheApostle:
Then, He must be the Truth about sufferings and death as well.

If you know HIm, you'll know the truth about the above mentioned problems because His light will shine in your heart.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The Kingdom, eternal life, Holy Spirit, faith, hope, love, the glory, righteousness etc are all associated with truth and they are eternal.

BluntTheApostle:
Then, He must be the Truth about sufferings and death as well.

Those are facts, they're not truth.
Truth is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

BluntTheApostle:
The Truth about what exactly I don't suppose you think the Bible is ambiguous. Ambiguity is not something an educated person should be proud of.

I have been trying to explain but you have done nothing but continued to hold on to that ambiguous statement.

He is the Truth about God, life, existence, everything .

You must see and acknowledge anything and everything under the light of the Lordship of Christ to truly see. Otherwise you're blind, in darkness, and without hope in this world.

Praise the Lord for His marvelous works.

BluntTheApostle:
For instance, "I am Bluntboy and that is the truth". The article "the" does not mean that I embody all truths.

There's a world of difference between the statements: "I am Bluntboy" and "Bluntboy is the truth". Haba.. I believe at least you went to school.


JESUS IS THE TRUTH

Psalms 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

BluntTheApostle:
So, He is an embodiment of suffering which is a reality? The reality of this world includes turbulence, sicknesses, pestilences, infirmities in old age, e.t.c., e.t.c. Is Jesus the complete embodiment of all these realities? Of course, not.

Those are facts; they're not reality. Jesus is the Truth not a Truth. Scripture uses the definite article "the". Stop trying to make it say what it isn't saying. That is wicked.

The sickness, pestilence and turbulence is all darkness... The result of sin. God's Word (Jesus) is light. And that is why Jesus came into the Word...

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

1 John 3:8 ... For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

BluntTheApostle:
For instance, God is Love but not an embodiment of all love. God embodies unconditional love but unconditional love is not the only type of love we have.

You must think the bible was written in English. In the Greek it's clear what kind of love is God's... AGAPE.

BluntTheApostle:
Truth is absolute but relative. Like I said earlier, don't even bring out an argument from something like that. It is absolutely true that Christ is Lord but it is not the only truth in the world. That truth is relative to the Messiahship of Christ.

Why is Christ the truth Can you answer that question.

I know there are those who try to reason out truth, but that won't help. Because truth is only revealed by the Holy Spirit, through the Word. And He uses the foolishness of preaching this simple truth as salvation for all mankind.

Jesus is not an aspect of truth, He is the complete embodiment of all reality (truth).

All things that exist came from Him, and they hold together still by Him.

Colossians 1:16-17
"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Ok, but he hasn't called OBJ since...

BluntTheApostle:
First of all, this shouldn't even cause an argument.

Christ is not the embodiment of all truth. Truth is relative. The truth in "ye shall know the truth" is relative to Christ's messiahship and not to the truth that your father is your real father. Truth at best can be subjectively objective.

You can search for the truth concerning the Church even outside the Bible. For instance, the truth concerning tithe is in the Bible but you need to search for it.

Your wrong again...Truth is not relative...Truth is Absolute

BluntTheApostle:
Don't misunderstand me. Searching for the truth is not the same as searching for Christ. Christ is not the totality of truth. He is the truth about God's love but not the truth about Paul's persecution. Truth is specific and not general.

You're speaking heresy.
Christ is the total embodiment of all truth. You even mentioned Paul's sufferings? What did you think Paul referred to as "the fellowship of His sufferings" in Philippians 3:10. Any suffering where Christ isn't the central focus is useless... suffering for nothing.

1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

All truth is parallel...if it doesn't have Christ at the center, it's a lie.

BluntTheApostle:
If knowing the truth was enough, Christ wouldn't have sent the Holy Spirit. If knowing the truth about Christ was enough, there wouldn't be any need of the Holy Spirit to guide us through the Words.

To know the truth "about" Christ is not the same as knowing the truth "who is" Christ. The reason Christ sent the Holy Spirit is because He the Truth will be absent from the earth. So the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, guides us in His Word and in the divine life.

BluntTheApostle:
And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. But then knowing the truth is not enough to keep you free from the false teachers who would want to imprison you again.

There's a huge difference between "set you free" and "make you free"'. You don't know bible.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.


When it MAKES you free, you are free indeed and no one can bind you again.

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

BluntTheApostle:
Who wants to attain your being? It is like going back again. There was a time I was in your level of religiosity but I have long embraced individual search for the truth and embraced spirituality. The only truth you know is the one Oyakhilome tells you. The day you stand alone and start searching for the truth with the help of the Holy Spirit (and not Oyakhilome, a mere man), that is when you would become a real believer.

That was a typo... I meant "by" (corrected)

You're ignorant. The Holy Ghost is not given to you so you can search for truth. It is actually given to those who have found Truth: Jesus Chris of Nazareth. He is the way, the truth and the life. The true believer is not searching for truth, he has found truth, stop lying.

BluntTheApostle:
Your father indeed. Oyakhilome knows his children. We know his children. Guy, better reserve all these attention for your real father. Should anything happen to this country, Oyakhilome will think about his real children first. I am sure he doesn't even know you.

My advice is that you pursue the truth and attain spiritual maturity. You can't attain spiritual maturity by worshipping a fellow man like yourself.

Neither can you attain by being an accuser and busybody

seedgreen:
Just for the record.
I was once a member of CPM.....I once had scholarship there, I happen to be their best student in their childrens church. I was already two yrs in the scholarship when I got to know about BLW....

After my first service in BLW, I forfeited my sholarship at CPM.

Now, with all dues respect to CPM. Cpm is a very good church.....I loved them, I still do ....but what I heard in BLW has made me stay since the last 18yrs.......


The revelations are incomparable.....the teachings are from two diff ends......

Wow...

MiddleDimension:
have i said it cannot be inspiring? even as an atheist, i can see some inspiring verses there. what i mean is. when they are going to church without the bible and you ask them where their bible is, they will tell you they have it in their phones. thats the excuse they give for not having a bible. but when it comes to the rhapsody, they will carry the hard copy even though soft copies are available.

I know many who no longer carry hard copy rhapsodies, except to use for evangelism, where it's given away.

I like the hard copy bibles for personal study and meditation where I can mark here and there. PIus it helps with memorizing scripture. Sometimes I just picture that particular portion on my bible in my mind and I can easily tell the Book, chapter and verse to look for.

I even took my big bible to church yesterday, event though I used the one on my device in church.

Thousands of rhapsody bibles are given out for free everyday around the world. Several hotels, schools, government institutions, the police etc have received free copies. New converts in many CE churches are given bibles with other materials.

Lesson: Christ Embassy doesn't begin and end with your friends, neighbours, family or colleagues; so don't generalize. I know many who can bathe you with the Word.

Btw, see my personal bible below...

President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to congratulate ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo on his 81st birthday.
However, this action has, in no little measure, caused tongues to be wagging in the nation’s political circle about the frozy relationship between the two national leaders.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, former Deputy Governor Iyiola Omisore of Osun State, Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Senate President, David Mark, Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) have all congratulated the former leader except President Buhari.

President Buhari, whose office has a media team with a template of congratulatory messages for eminent personalities in the country celebrating birthdays, is yet to publicly congratulate OBJ.

The last time President Buhari sent Obasanjo a congratulatory message was on January 21 to celebrate the ex-President’s acquisition of a PhD at the National Open University (NOUN). Two days later, OBJ replied with a hot letter criticizing the president’s performance so far.
