lezz:
I have followed this post and seen that, although you appear polite but you have a deep proud spirit that rejects truth and facts.

And quit writting in embolden letters; we are not as blind as you are.

Sorry sir

It indeed is that simple...

But does not make it right.

Any sane man would hear both sides of the story before making a judgement.. But in Christianity the case is different.

That is why I have chosen to stay neutral in this matter.. God who ordered the Israelis not to kill also ordered them to wipe out the Canaanites in the same book of Exodus. Infact, the journey of the Israelis from Egypt to Canaan was riddled with killings.

God killed more people in the Bible than Lucifer yet the bible let's us to believe that Lucifer is the bad guy..


Gods word is indeed Law..

Fancy God...the bad guy

Gariki:
can you tell me where Jesus used internet, can you tell me where the disciple clap their hands while singing in the bible can you tell me where the apostles criticized other brethren who at the same type practice the same faith? he Jesus simple said in john that even as many that believed only in his name shall be saved the time u used in criticized your fellow brethren why not use it to convert souls for Christ imaging other of the our brothers who are not of the same faith see all this your fight of who worship best how will that help them to be convert? remember that he said woe to anyone who cause my liltle one to sin and there will be a jubilation for single soul that repent in heaven. please brethren let us unit and fight the power of darkness not of the blood. because the bible which from the book of gen. it was recorded that God has given us dominion over anything on earth and Jesus confirm it to us when he told us that what ever two of us agree on earth it shall be esterblish for us on heaven... peace to all in Jesus name

is tithe not of old testament.? yet churches practise it. y will dey. not. pastors becoming millioners and billioners.

NewSpiritMan:
A little reminder bro. The scriptures is the book of Judaism today. It is comprised of the old testament books. The gospel is not in the scriptures. The gospel is the true message that will save you. That was what Jesus Christ is all about. Jesus Christ is the true Word of God.

sorom4:
Your church is the type that doesnt regard the old testament and all its writings/teachings. Left for you and your likes, it would have bn deleted. You should also argue that God didnt create the universe, since its in the old testament

Let's save the creation part for another day

Lolz... Sir...My tongue is innocent...

Blame my fingers and brain instead

i'm not exactly good at giving Bible quotations but that does not imply that i am wrong in any way

if you say that the bible is the only place where the tenets of christendom can be found then what happens to the revelations God makes to people..what happens to the instructions given by God to his faithful servants after the bible was written..should they be rendered void and untrue simply because they are not contained in the bible..

Peter being canonized does not in any way portray him as a demi-god that should be worshipped..it only attaches to him the honour that he fully deserves for living a holy life while on earth
saints are to be emulated not worshipped..
saints are people who lived righteous lives while on earth who made tremendous sacrifices for the lord and rendered various services to God
they are not in any way worshipped..children are taught about saints in order to correct their erring ways and make them see the beauty of serving the Lord

i'd advise you to get a book of saints from a nearby catholic church cos only then can you understand their purpose

they are only to he honoured..same way steven was made a matyr cos he died for his faith..thats the same way some saints are killed cos of their faith

Owk lady... I don't really argue religion with people who doesn't make their holy books a point of reference... At least if you believe that the Bible is the source of your belief and a fountain of your godly wisdom...You should refer to it always inorder not to make what you know look like an assumption.

Assumptions can't win a soul...That person you're trying to convert might want you to proof what you're trying to tell him in your book of faith.

Thanks for your intelligent post,sweet.

As for your book of saints...I don't really need that cause I have loads of novels to digest.

Thanks again... Happy Sunday

9jacrip:
Thank you.

Religion itself is mental disorder causing factor in that it is a brainwashing tool like the media and when excessively absorbed, the mind snaps and powerbof logic disappears.

A religious person is no more than a crack head, they both suffer from mind problems and they have lost the power to ask cogent questions, they just want to revel in their high.

The Abrahamic religions are the ones struggling for supremacy and to think Africans even take it too serious than the originators disgusts me.

Deism is good, it is the first step to discovering what works for you. I started off as a deist too but hey I'm a traditionalist now and nothing feels better.

Fourwinds:
hmmm. so Peter., Jesus Christ disciple is not a saint because d Bible didn't make mention of it. what Jesus Christ Himself had revealed about Peter while He was with d disciples.? u are lost if cannt read inbetween d lines

9jacrip:
At the emboldened is where you, like many others show you do not understand religion in relation to humanity.

There is only one God served through different channels.

The difference in these channels is that different belief system evolved along cultural lines which include the history in the manual (supposed Holy Book), language, dramatist personae in the manuals, style of dressing etc

Judaism - Jews, Christianity - Europeans, Bhuddism - Asians, Isese - Yoruba, Islam - Arab, Egyptians had theirs, Romans had theirs, Greeks had theirs and the AmerIndian had theirs too etc.

As a result, no religion has a special God but they have special ways of reaching one God and no belief is superior nor guarantees spiritual safety or heaven/hell.

Religion, other than filling man's hunger to connect with the creator of him and his environment, also serves as a tool to create and sustain a sain society.

TRUE...

I'm not a religious fanatic sha...
I believe every religion has it rights to existence and practices.
I just don't like it when some people try to make theirs superior to others... that's what brought about this argument.

It might interest you to know I'm a deist

saymalcolm:
Hope you understand that the language of christianity is not even English. Jesus brought the gospel to men in Aramaic and as a result of the spread of the gospel, it was translated. Your argument based on language is moot.

Kelgabriel5:
why do u pray,why do u sing wen prayn,insence is a divine mixture containing myrrh, d same myrrh given to Jesus as a child.it is a purifyin smoke which only God can answer why its pleasin 2 him,b careful wit wat u are sayin abeg

I pray cause Jesus prayed ...I sing cause the disciples sang....and they are all recorded in the Bible.
But Jesus didn't use incense while praying...neither his disciples... So if you can't answer my questions... just read along and get wisdom

safarigirl:
that last post he made about Catholics following old 'barbaric' doctrines is laughable coming from a protestant.

The tithing that EVERY protestant church has made COMPULSORY is it not an 'old barbaric doctrine'? Is it then sensible to accuse the Catholic church- the most forward-thinking church of following barbaric doctrines?

Most forward thinking?..

I laugh in Safari

italo:
First of all, where did Jesus say that anything not recorded in the Bible shouldnt be done?

Where did he even mention Bible?

The Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church in 382 at the Synod of Rome under Pope Damasus. No?

Lolz... don't try to play on our intelligence...

The Bible is just a compilation of Scriptures written by Men of God in the olden days...And also a recording of the acts of apostles... words of wisdom and guidance.

So even if it was compiled by the Catholic church... It doesn't give them the right to tamper with whatsoever is written therein as it was inspired of the holy spirit.

Mind you...The Bible is just a modern name for the 'The Scriptures' which Jesus repeatedly used throughout his stay on earth.

Alexk2:
but money is never the focus of a true church but Jesus Christ. if you last statement is true about all Churches, then we are in a serious mess already.

lonelydora:
Some didnt get call but flashing.

italo:
You said the use of incense is pagan...

...without showing me where God said so.

Then I showed you where God himself uses incense in heaven.

The 24 elders each had a golden bowl full of incense. That is what the Bible says. Nowhere does it mention the word 'non-literal' as you are trying to force it to say.

pweetyz:
come on..you can't possibly tell me that everything which is right and true or which really happened is recorded in the bible

Pope saint Peter became a saint after his death and i'm certain you know he was in charge of the vatican city as well as founded thecatholic church

the catholic church is also universal as it is the same all over the world and which is a proof of the holy and universal church which jesus spoke to peter about

cc:youngsage

Is this the intelligent reply you told me about?
Then I'm disappointed

I expected to see not less than two or more Biblical portions to backup this your assumptions but you've failed to do so....Which goes to show that The Catholic have been Doing The Thinking For Their God since 0.0BC.

I don't care if you call him Chief Peter,Professor Peter, Doctor Peter etc...But saint-izing him which makes him automatically become a demi-god capable of being worshipped is against Biblical injunctions.
Even in their life time,the apostles refused to be worshipped ( Acts 10:25-26 ; 14:13-14 ). The holy angels too refused to be worshipped ( Revelation
19:10 ; 22:9 ).
Why force title and worship on people who doesn't need it?...Isn't that bullying?

Is high time you guys start adopting the Bible as the only book that contains the tenets of Christendom.

Any other additions are against the authority of the Bible.

If Peter became a saint after his death...then
Pastor E.O.Okon of Apostolic Church should be a saint by now.

Lolz
