OLAADEGBU: ...In the summation of this excerpt:

Are you saying all Christians are one or all Protestants are one or all non-Catholic Christians are one?..let me get you clear.

OLAADEGBU: The question is: what would make us one?

And the answer is...?

sylve11: Why is it like that Mr. Italo?

My candid opinion:

Because "Christians" have broken away from the Church that Jesus gave us which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. Simple!

Truth is, we who are called "Christians" are not one.

We dont have one faith. We dont teach one doctrine. We dont even agree on who Jesus is.

Emusan: The purpose of Christ on earth is to redeem everyone from death and gave us everlasting life through His stop which has nothing to do with all debate's topic in my Op.

Though we can still engage in such debate just to have more insight about the word of God but not the extent of neglecting the purpose in which the whole Bible structured.



Preach the dead, resurrection anr the hope of life in Christ and how it's important to our reigning with Him.

Shalom!

You sound like Pope Francis.

Emusan: What is bordering me is the gospel of CHRIST, be it Catholic, Deep life, Olorun shogo parish e.t.c

Let us continue in doing the work that have been committed into our hand. The Gospel of Christ.

Shalom!

Yes. Yes. The problem is when I look at a unbeliever and pity him. I say to him: Jesus loves you and died to save you. Come with me to Church. Try to get baptized into the Church - God's family and go on to receive all the other sacraments while living your life the way God wants, as taught by the Church. That is what I know to be the gospel of Christ which was handed to the apostles and passed down to us.

Other people come and tell the person: dont mind him. They are idol worshippers. Dont follow him. Etc.

What then can I, as a Catholic do to encourage unity?

Syncan: Welcome back bro, all things worketh unto good....It was a retreat I see. You were missed

Lol... thanks.

You have summarized it brilliantly.

Good message. But what will you advice that we Catholics do for unity among believers in Christ?

Leo Adewale: @italo, no be fight oo. U actually didn't answered my questions, yet u issued beef to the person who did. I would have love 2 hear ur opinion.

What did I say that suggested any "fight" or "beef?"

There is no need for my opinion.

You wanted "answers" and you've got "answers."

You should be satisfied by now.

If you are not satisfied with the answers, then...

God bless you and keep you.

May God continue to give you "answers."

woky: u ar welcm bro and may the peace of the Lord always be with you.. Hav really learn alot 4rm you tnks alot

You're welcome and the Lord be with you too.

I'm humbled that the Lord has used me to impart some knowledge on you as he used (and continues to use) other people to enlighten me too.

We are all members of the one body of Christ and we all have various gifts that we can use to edify the Church.

May the Lord continue to use us all to do his work. Amen.

^^^ I like!

ariseandshine: Google it. Read History of Romanism or History of Protestanism. It seems to me you don't even know your roots.

Okay, dear teacher. So I google...and get this from wikipedia:

Romanism was a word used as a derogatory term for Roman Catholicism in the past when anti-Catholicism was more common in the United States and the United Kingdom. The term was frequently used in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Republican invectives against the Democrats, as part of the slogan "Rum, rebellion, and Romanism" (referencing the Democratic party's constituency of Southerners and anti-Temperance, frequently Catholic, working-class immigrants). The term and slogan gained particular prominence in the 1928 presidential campaign, in which the Democratic candidate was the outspokenly anti-Prohibition Catholic Governor of New York Al Smith. The term is still used, though rarely, by anti-Catholics.

It seems sir, that it is you who knows not what you talk about.

I ask you again: when was the word "church" attributed to Catholicism and by who?

ariseandshine: Correction, its Romanism not Church. The name Church was attributed to it just recently

When, dear teacher?

@ Leo Adewale,

I believe you are satisfied now.

You wanted "answers." You've got "answers."

God bless you.

woky: I dy see ur handwrk.. U 2 much.!

All the glory to Baba God o... me I just be humble messenger.

Thanks.

So who is killing who in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, Pakistan etc?

Isnt it Muslims killing Muslims. Muslims bombing Mosques. Shias vs Sunnis here. Sunnis vs Shias there.

Leo Adewale: that's no answer to my question. I NEED ANSWERS !!!

Are you sure you want answers? Havent you already made up your mind...and no "answers" can make you change your mind?

An evil generation seeks for a sign!

Maybe you should tell us and yourself the whereabouts of the "keys of the kingdom of God" that Jesus gave Peter.

Whether you believe in Jesus or not, you should take him seriously.

He is the only one who says "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE."

He is the only one who claims to be God.

Others say: "this is the way to God,""this is the light of God," "this is the truth of God."

But Jesus says "I AM!"

These are massive claims that must be investigated by any "believer."

It is either Jesus of Nazareth was a lunatic, a liar or God.

Each soul must find out.

Ymodulus: ok. Agreed.

But take down my message

I get your message. I never criticize anyone. I only scrutinize.

I dont know if the Quran encourages this one-sided judgement of women...though it seems like it is a widespread practice by muslims; but the Bible never encourages one-sided judgement of women which is what Jesus upheld in that passage.

woky: ITALO

Brother...

If you are convinced that Pope Francis is the successor of St. Peter who is the Vicar of Christ on earth...who Christ gave "the keys to the kingdom of heaven..." will you become Catholic...or will you look for other excuses to justify your current position?

My guess is you will do the latter...so why should anyone bother?

What did they say to the Bridegroom?

Keeper of bad company - Matthew 9:10-11
Possessed of Beelzebub - Mark 3:22
From the wrong neighborhood - John 7:41, 52
A deceiver and hypocrite - John 7:10-13
Unlearned - John 7:14-15
Had a persecution complex - John 7:20
Demon possessed--full of the devil - John 7:20, 10:20, 8:48, 52
Provoker to anger - John 7:23
A divider of the people - John 7:43
False prophet - John 7:50-52
Liar, falsifier - John 8:13
Dishonorable - John 8:49
Boaster, false representative of God, impostor, self-made man - John 8:53
Ungodly, or cometh not from God - John 9:13-16
A sinner - John 9:13-16
Crazy, insane - John 10:20
Perplexing, causing doubt - John 10:22-24
A blasphemer - John 10:31-33

Do you find it a coincidence that these are said to the Bride as well?

Have you never read?

John 15: 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also."

Catholic. Be of good cheer.

Ymodulus: I never ever did call the bible a Holy Book rather i said the
"so called holly book" pls note the diff.
I will let dat slide.

And man the fact is wat i pointed out to u even the bible does that so dont criticize islam dats my point.
Note* am no muslim

Ymodulus: Mr Italo.

I hope u are clearly aware as to the fact that stoning of women were also done in the old testament? So ur excuse is irrelevant. And as such Your post should be modified to.

"WHy do the 2 major holybooks approve stoning of aldulterous women".

Why dont we just do it the Jesus way?

Did Jesus give us a Church? Yes.

Did Jesus give us millions of denominations? No.

Will the gates of hell prevail against the Church Jesus gave us? No.

Is that Church still in existence? Yes.

Then why do we insist on doing it our own way instead of the Jesus way?

Nursy: my dear stop wasting your time on catholic church haters.. It started long ago, yet the church of God still stands. They are looking for more members for their pastors. Just relax!

My dear, I'm learning to relax. Thanks.

At least I have learnt to ignore some of those who God has blocked their ears and minds.

That the Bible is God's word is also a teaching of the Church. The Bible was made by the Church. Jesus was never recorded to tell anyone to make anything that sounded like "Bible."

So is the Bible then a book made by humans or not?

You think the Bible is the teaching authority for Christians?

Okay, tell me if contraception is right or wrong.

Show me where the Bible says about "Christians" and traditional marriage.

Tell me where the Bible says it has the authority to teach above the Church which the Bible calls the Pillar and foundation of truth.

I dey wait you.

ariseandshine: GAY POPE.
Why do the JESUITS always encourage homosexuality but forbids marriage?

Why do the JESUITS always encourage homosexuality but forbids marriage IN YOUR HEAD?

Can somebody tell me the above is not true?

@ Joavid, expecting your answer.

Youngzedd: He didn't because no scriptural backup.

Scriptural back-up for what?
