ooman: you dont feel it because a god has filled it up, simple...

Dear Sir, do you have any empirical evidence for this or are you just being delusional?

oluface: is it God property u still. NO. If u still my thing Its non of God biz

Sir, my question was: what religion do you practise?

macof: what if he was being referred to as god. Cause there can't be two Gods

"What if."

Well, he wasnt being referred to as a god. He is God who came to earth in flesh.

How come I havent seen anyone belonging to 'December 31st Midnight Mass Society?'

Those who go to mass only once a year.

We all know they have more population than any other society.

Logicboy03: There is empiraical evidence that there couldnt be such a worldwide flood.

Simple commonsense question- where did all the water go? Why dont mountains show similar levels of Erosion if the flood was global at the same time?


The dimensions of the ark could never fill couples from all types of animals

This is empirical evidence? I thought you were familiar with the scientific method of testing.

Your submission asks questions rather than prove anything.

Just like a Christian proving God's existence by asking "where did the energy for the beginning of the world come from."

Take that as our empirical evidence then.

Amadaz: represetative of st. peter rather

Successor of St. Peter.

Representative (vicar) of Jesus Christ.

oluface: is it God property u still. NO. If u still my thing Its non of God biz

Sir, what religion do you practise?

Logicboy03: The ark never existed and there was no worldwide flood.

Where is your empirical evidence?

If you cant provide it, we will just take you to be as delusional as you claim Christians are when they cant give you empirical evidence.

oluface: if u sin against you fellow human, its the person that will forgive not God.. If u kill, u sin against God and that soul u kill. It is now left to God to judge u

So God doesnt judge fornicators and thieves?

Them just dey find trouble.

The next thing na to begin burn Churches.

oluface: I will ask him how he will cope on the day of judgement because christains have commited a great sin in his name by calling him God which is the only major sin that God dont forgive if you die in it.

No need to ask him that. We already know how coped with the first Christian who called him "God" - Thomas.

Long before Thomas did, Isaiah did.

In fact, Sacred Scripture is filled with passages referring to Jesus as God.

"Dearest Lord, what would thou have me do for thee...thou who hast shown me immeasurable love?"

babestell: Lol
Sherlock Holmes well done

Lol...

Just lol...

Morning.

Pastor Olu T: So what's ur understanding of salvation and how can it be lost? Maybe we start from there

I think I have a summary of that in my first post. Can we start from there or do you need me to expantiate?

woky: lol.. Mak i see wetin he go reply

If him reply no be from Bible, we no go gree...lol.

okpurukata: This is my contribution to this tread. I wish to extend my heart felt gratitude to Italo and Ubenedictus and other catholic faithfuls on Nairaland. You have been an inspiration to me. I have learned so much and I can stand and defend my faith even more based on all I have read and learned. It is clear that Catholics are the most mis understood Christian sect. There is also a lot of envy and jealousy for the catholic church and it's structures by some other Christians.
However, we will continue to march stronger. Let us pray for our priests and the religious. Let us also strive to begin to assist in the work of evangelism. We should not fail to use any available opportunity to tell other about our faith. God Loves us and will continue to Bless and keep us and His church.

Meanwhile I am just watching a re broadcast of the Pope's mass at St Peters on EWTN, now. It's awesome. I enjoin others who have access to watch too.

Awww!!! Sister, you people are experts at bringing tears to my eyes. Thanks. Be sure that I also learn a lot from other Catholic faithful and get so much information, inspiration and motivation from you all.

This is the era of The New Evangelization in the Church and we should make maximum use of the new instruments of technology and media (smart phones, computers, social media, internet etc) to first nourish our faith...then going on to proclaim it to others. This is what our Holy Fathers Benedict, then Francis promote. That's why 86 yr old Benedict got on twitter.

EWTN is another great way to enrich our faith and I've been following the masses at both St. Peter's and Fatima.

Now let me give you a little example of how we all gain one or two things from one another. I might have had some knowledge that some Catholics didnt expressly have but I often found myself falling for the provocation of non-Catholics. I'd have no hesitation to use harsh or insultive words. I did learn the value (or virtue) of temperance and calmness from people like Syncan, Ubenedictus, Rich4God and many other less known Catholics here. I learnt, not just because they specifically told me but because I saw them live out the example. I have also learnt a lot on theology from Syncan, Ubenedictus, Chukwudi44 and a number of others. Sometimes i learn from those Catholics who would ignore all the arguments and just post a prayer or a devotion, even without having enough know-how to 'defend' it. Yes! We need that too. I cannot mention every single thing that I have gained from every single person here but just know that every single Catholic here has added something positive to my life.

Sorry about the long post...but when I get in this mood....

God bless us all.

God bless his Holy Catholic Church.

mademoiselle: Im also a silent member of society for vocation support n then in the harvest comittee n other committees in d church. Former secretary of cyon.

Yes, my African chikito. I am/was (I dunno exactly) an active member of CYON. Being in various committees including Parish Youth Fellowship.

Also active with Catholic Faith Forum film show.

You!!! Now I know who "babestell" is.

GeneralShepherd: I bet if I told you what I did as a christian,you'll tell me I didn't serve him genuinely or another weird thing.

You can't hold a meaningful conversation without thumping the bible, when Annony and Enigma were more active in this section I loved their conversations.

You're being a partial judge. Atheists thump the Bible all the time, even the OP.

Why cant we?

GeneralShepherd: Why do keep assuming you can tell other people their reality? Is it a form of superiority complex?

Oya just tell God to appear in my dreams today,if he does I'll sure share the testimony!!!! I didn't say give me a job ohh before you tell me He is not my puppet.

If he so loves me,let Him appear in my dreams...

Dalu

Isnt it the same thing Plaetton is doing? Telling us our reality: 'no one loves God or his neighbour.'

GeneralShepherd: You are on the burderline where Saul was before He was turned to Paul,very soon very soon you would be a servant of Yaweh.

Anyway this piece you wrote is awesome...Love your neighbour as you love yourself

Can you please make him say what "love of neighbour" is?

Or can you help him out...since you seem to understand him more?

Logicboy03: Yes....evidence for an abstract or logic to defend the abstract point?

How do you love something you dont know or understand? Something you have never interacted with?

I know you might be too stewpid to even follow this simple argument

Is the above what you call "solid evidence?"

Will you accept this kind of evidence from Christians who want to prove God's existence?

I think it is a little bit redundant. It should be restructured and/or rebranded sort of.

Catholic youth can do much more than is being done under CYON.

Bidam: Catholic is universal.You mean roman catholic

How do you know what you are talking about. I thought you only believed what is in the Bible. Where does the Bible explain to you the meaning of "Catholic" and "Roman Catholic?"

ooman: Loving god is only necessary to those who feel deep emptiness, religion is an addiction...

Wrong. I dont feel deep emptiness yet I love God.

Logicboy03: It should be mocked because
-a no solid evidence for God exists
-it is impossible to love something you cant see, touch, smell, or hear.

Is there solid evidence for your assertion in bold?

babestell: Yea, when I was in Lag.

Would you please give me your email?

I think I might know you.

anoda1: st vincent de paul! Pray for us! What particular council are you?

Lagos Mainland.

St. Dominic Conference to be precise.

plaetton: Does Nigeria look like a place where people love their neighbors?

Do you mind answering me?

You said:
So, the next time someone says" I love god", you know you are looking at a liar, a hypocrite and a sycophant.

Are you then saying there is no one that loves his or her neighbour?

[quote author=frank3.16]Is there? Just be sincere to urself and answer that.

Loving ur neigbour might seem very easy, but it is almost very impossible. Also actually loving ur neighbor is not the same as claimin u love ur neigbour as urself.[/quote]What then does loving ones neighbour mean?

Pastor Olu T: Wow i did not see this before now, mistreating working out ur salvation. Little wonder u wrote that in the other thread, Did u read my post? I am so surprise at u, well u cant go beyond urself.

If u will I will want to have a conversation with u, I state here again u dont work for ur salvation bt rather u work out that which is work in in u by the Holy Ghost. U dont do anything to add to ur salvation, bt 'cos u remain on earth u have to remain safe till Jesus come. God had already performed the work of salvation in u bt it is in a seed form, so u have to work it out to make manifest by walking in the spirit daily.

There is absolutely nothing like working to get saved according to the scripture.

NB Pls read the comment n understand before commenting, I also believe salvation could be lost, bt about once saved n saved forever I believe it, bt definitely not what u think. If u want to discuss it i will gladly oblige u.

Stay blessed n remain rapturable

I'm not sure there is need for further discussion on this considering the bold. We both believe that.

But if you still want to discuss further, it is my pleasure.

jammyunn: read romans 11:29 and decide yourself.

Yes...yes, brother. God never withdraws his gifts but mankind can reject his gifts.

For further clarification, read the whole passage, not just that one verse.

Particularly:

Verse 22: Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

Now can you please address my post?

If we cannot lose salvation, why do we have to "work out" anything?
