PastorAIO: Olboy, Ansa na!!! If you want to avoid vicious circle then all you have to do is ansa. The circle will stop. It's when you start dancing and he keeps trying to get a straight ansa from you, thats when the circling starts.
He said he is sincere.

What kind of sincere person dreads simple questions?

Catholicism practically invented science and built the civilization you now enjoy.

if xtians have faith in jesus, why do they go to hospitals?
my wife has no faith in me and I definitely have no faith in my parents.
I hated my teachers and unless I verify something, I don't believe scientists.
So you verified that your parents conceived you...

You believe there's Antarctica. You've been there?

Faith in Jesus doesn't exclude using the means Jesus has given us to take care of ourselves.

Kay17: Let's all start from a common ground - the place of faith in Christianity/Islam - Faith is definitely the life of Christianity, there is no Christian without Faith, right?
Of course.

There's no human without faith. It just depends who or what you have faith in...and the extent of faith one has.

Christians have faith in Jesus.

Wives have faith in husbands.

Children have faith in parents.

Students have faith in teachers.

Many have faith in scientists.

mazaje1: You are a liar. . .from the economist article it says. . .

"Since most patients now have some sort of medical treatment before coming to the shrine, disentangling its impact from the Lourdes effect is also increasingly difficult. The Medical Bureau is investigating one woman with polyarthritis, which had crippled most of her joints, who was able to move again after her rituals at Lourdes (a place whose damp tries even the able-bodied, let alone the arthritic). Blood tests showed changes in the levels of certain immunological molecules linked to the disease before and after her declared cure. But since she had also been taking cortisone for her illness, however ineffective it proved for the symptoms, an unexplainable cure was harder to pin down."
The article saying nothing against my points.

Point out the lie.

http://www.economist.com/node/304212
The article corroborates my points.

That no miracle is approved without being rigorously scrutinized by scientists and declared to have defied scientific explanation by them.

Nothing I said is misleading or false.

It's just driving the devil in you crazy that there's hard evidence for miracles.

dejilg: yes, u dnt condemn everyone to hell, but u condemn "protestants". If u r not proud to really tell us what Catholicism is or u dnt know it, let ur brothers on dis site teach u. http://www.mostholyfamilymonastery.com/
The website is run by people who are at variance with Church teaching.

Let us look at the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

CCC 846-848:

"Outside the Church there is no salvation"

846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.336
847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:

Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.337
848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."

Next time, look before you leap, brother.

mmsen: There are a number of events that stump the intellect of man, at any point in history. But there usually comes a time when people realise the cause and that issue ceases to be a 'miracle'.

A miracle is simply people saying that they do not know. Which is fine. It is better to say that you do not know than to claim erroneous knowledge vis-a-vis the church.
How can you be certain that we dont know when you don't know yourself.

This is the irrationality one has to have to be an Atheist.

I said read about Lourdes Medical Bureau so that you will know that no miracle is certified there by the Church without scientists certifying it as defying the law of nature.

Every scientist is invited to be a part of this Bureau, including Atheists. And Atheist doctors have been known to become Catholic because of what they have seen.

The non-entities like you prefer to wallow ignorance, hiding behind your keyboard.

Get up and find things out!

adsonstone: Humans generally can do good...because they have the inherent (God-
given) ability to do good, not because we are all redeemed.

Before our redemption, many have done good and made God proud eg Rahab....and after the Redemption, many still do good eg Mary Slessor.


I, personally, do not condemn anyone to hell..saved or unsaved, Christian or Non-Christian...you may provide evidence if you believe I do.

However, I never declared that you said 'all Protestants are heretics.' My statement says you 'often tag Protestants/Presbyterians heretics' just as you have done about their leaders.
You once criticized the Pope for saying "Atheists can go to heaven." No?

When I had to show you Romans 2 to corroborate his point.

Many Protestant leaders are heretics. They know the truth yet obstinately persist in error. Some of the congregation too.

I can defend my statement in any 'tribunal.'

TheBigUrban2: grin grin grin


I sense your pain. But I will make this easy for you;

The Abrahamic religions all accept/believe in the power of miracles. Miracles themselves being an illogical or irrational concept- the impossible becoming the possible. A contradiction.


For instance, a dead man coming to life (Jesus). This dead man was beaten, nailed to a cross for hours, stabbed in the side to check if he was alive and then buried for three days. Yet, we are to believe that he came back to life. What irrationality.


For instance, we are to believe that Prophet Muhammad split the moon into two. huh
It is irrational not to believe in miracles because they happen...even to this day.

Many have been scrutinized by scientists and they defy the laws of nature.

Read about the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Lourdes Medical Bureau and the incorruptible saints...for a start.

It seems that you're grossly ignorant about pertinent things.

Christianity Etc › Re: Pornographic Films Shot In Catholic Church Without Permission by italo: 4:33pm On Jul 22, 2014
adsonstone: Mary Slessor, a 'Protestant' infact, 'Presbyterian' (a group of Christians which you often tag 'heretic') did God and religion proud.

Thank God you affirmed that.
Anyone can do good, even Atheists. Because we are all redeemed, though not all saved.

Anyone who follows/claims to follow God/religion and does good as a result has done God/religion proud...even though he/she might still be in error. Was the good Samaritan a Jew or Christian before he could make Jesus proud?

Don't get too excited that I mentioned a Protestant. There are Catholic saints who gave their lives so that others may live. E.g Maximillian Kolbe.

A heretic is one who obstinately persists in heresy. I have no evidence that Mary Slessor did so...or that all Protestants do so.

I challenge you to quote me saying "all Protestants are heretics." You cant! Because I never say so. Majority of them are just innocently fooled by their greedy and proud heretic leaders/ministers/pastors.

We Catholics dont condemn everyone to hell, like some of you Protestants. Remember ChrisOkotie and the like.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Logic Not Allowed In The Mega Religions Of The World? by italo: 4:14pm On Jul 22, 2014
TheBigUrban2: Judaism, Christianity, Islam.....these three are illogical religions.
Because they claim that logic and reason came from an intelligent being, while you Atheists claim that logic and reason emerged from thoughtlessness and randomness. isn't then, all your 'logic' a part of that thoughtlessness and randomness and of no value?

How can you be reasonable when you claim that our existence has no reason and purpose?

The foolishness of Atheism!

Christianity Etc › Re: PastorOluT, Lets Talk. by italo(op): 4:06pm On Jul 22, 2014
PastorOluT: I will answer u accordingly by answering each questions numbering them as u did.

1. Don't get it twisted, someone only named the whole church founded by Jesus catholic, it could have been saints, brethren or whatever bt they chose Catholic n it sticked. I believe u know what catholic means? Universal-all encompassing.

2. Hope this won't be a vicious circle as someone said, i tot i told u i can provide dates bt gave ow i came to know?

3,4,5,6. Repetitions, all in d name i should produce evidences n dates? Smile, i believe I see what is happening around as well as millions of people, this is where i got to know d doctrines.

NB To make this easy n letting go of all the endless repetitions n going around in a circle while u seek evidence as a detective, lets look at the present, I believe I will be able to provide a whole lot of evidences u seek.
1. If the Catholic Church is the one Jesus founded, why are you not a part of it?

2. Show us the online sources you claimed told you:

A. The Catholic Church was fine until the Papacy ruined it.

B. Everyone against the papacy was burned

C. Mary and statues took God's place...prayers must pass through Mary to be legitimate and that she became more important than Christ to the Catholic Church

3. Veneration of Saints was before the Church compiled the Bible. So if veneration of Saints came from an evil or erroneous Church, the Bible also did. How then can the Bible be trusted?

4. You said "The bible no longer became the final authority." Please tell us when was the Bible ever the final authority?

5. If neither you nor your so-called sources can say when these things came in, isn't it proof that you are insincere and have something to hide?

It is so bad that you and your sources cannot even say when the Bible came about. How then can you hold it as a final authority?

Aren't you just telling lies? Isnt that why you cant provide any sort of proof whatsoever?
