@ Lioness,
Hmmmmmmmmmm

IRORO,
I am a full warri boy by birth (mum and dad), I doubt if you are more warri than me because very few people are. I am not from environs o o o, I am from warri itself but I must tell you, I have never dated a warri lady and that possibilty is tending to zero (introducing calculus). I only have one urhobo friend (ochuko) who happens to have grown up in shell quarters both in P/H and other places including warri which may be why he is not like the rest of the waffi people. I have tried making friends with them afterall they are my people but failed 'because Warri people are too aggressive, they just always try to be smart infact I just can't stand them for so many reasons. My mum noticed and has always tried introducing me to warri guys and babes just to see if I'd change my opinion but nope, they always turn out to be same. I am sorry to say but I am ashamed to have my origins from Warri.  


@ Medube,
Listen to yourself. You are talking to images (both prints and otherwise) of JESUS, SAINTS AND ANGELS. What do you think the occults do with the images in their shrine, they just use it to decorate. They talk to them too you know. Please , it's like you guys need to open the dictionaries to check the meaning of worship.
God clearly said it in HIS words that he will not share HIS glory with another (Isaiah 48:11) and The bible categorically said it in 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is ONE GOD and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,. Remember Jesus said He had an exclusive right to accessing the father in John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So tell me, why are you talking to saints who can't hear you? Talking to Mary who can't hear you either. Is it written in your bible that mary was the mother of God? She was a vessel used. Do you really think God had sex with mary? I am beginning to understand why the catholic church prevented the common people from having access to the bible in earlier times. It is so that these idolatories will not be questioned.
If Mary was so special , do you think Jesus christ wouldn't have set out that law that we must honour her as she is the mother of GOD? (Mother of God Indeed ) . My God has no mother because  He is the beginning and the end, before all things were made (including Mary) HE already was. Do you remember what happened in matthew 12:46-50 ? May be I should send you my picture so that you can talk to it too afterall Jesus said I am his mother and brother.
Think about it, were is it written that the disciples (Who are the pillars of the Church) honoured Mary. Even Peter the 1st Pope didn't. This is going off topic but hear me and hear me well , except you repent you shall perish (mind you, there is no purgatory).

@ Afam,

You need to read your bible well. “Be not equally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” II Corinthians 6:14-17.

Like I said earlier, Even if the statue is sweating,or peeing; All I know is that it a statue and you have turned it into an idol just the way you turned images of angels and dead saints to idols all in the name of giving honour. What do you understand is an idol and what do you think the term worship means sef?

Sorry if my tone is harsh.

You are not bad at all, you are only violent, blood thirsty and full of inferiority complex which is normal afterall, Ishmael will forever serve Isaac.

@blackmamba,
You sure do crack me up. Give me an image of JESUS and I will smatch it and still say a prayer that God will answer expressly in His usual manner. Idolatry must not be condoned even if it is under the guise of a Church.

@ Drn,
By the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, I cancel that statement of yours. You shall live to glorify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

what gives you the impression that I have not attended already?So bros, which levels naw? Which church you dey attend?

In other words you are saying that what the Pope said was TRUE but not properly timed.

@ Deb,
I am flattered, if to say na uk u dey, i for dey careful since you be man but since you dey naija, I believe they are not too common yet ;so I will take that as an innocent complement. If I may ask sir, what church do you attend?

@ mukina2,

Could you please explain "all guys are liars majority of them are just cowards!"   ?

You sure do practise what mohammed preached by being blood thirsty. Be sincere, was the Pope's comment wrong?

Hmmm, that "pastor" sounds very sarcastic and seem to make it some sort of class title. I am not interogating sir. I just wanted you to share your testimony with us. My apologies if I stepped on your toes. I am very sorry. Please forgive me.

yes, they have and shall forever have inferiority complex because Ishmael shall forever serve Isaac which is why no muslim nation can ever be the world's "police". It is something that has been sealed.

@ deb,
Ok sir, could you please tell us about your encounter with christ by first defining an encounter with christ for the sake of the readers who don't know?

@ deb,
Let me ask you a question. Have you had an encounter with christ?

Our head office is in the west too although my job is intercontinental in nature. I am sorry to say but I don't believe in luck rather I am a beneficiary of the extravagant grace of God (Roman9:15 &16 ; Eccl 9:11).


P.S,
If you must think that I used connection, you wouldn't be wrong just that the only connection I used and still use is that of my elder brother whose name is JESUS CHRIST.

@ Deb,
I like dat! What I call headache may not even be headache by general definiton.

@Goodguy,
Hmmmm,

@charlisco,
You guys are so so naive. The bible clearly stipulates the right mode of worship but youchoose to allow the devil deceive you by a statue. You better wake up now or wake up in hell (by the way, there is nothing like purgatory for you to console yourself with).

If you know half of what God has shown me, you will understand that pictures will make little or no difference to my stand. I am not even contesting about whether blood was flowing or not; rather I am telling you that it is wrong for you to pay so much attention to an image.

Havila, good work. For those who want more revelations on ISLAM, You could get it from : http://www.bethinking.org/categories.php?CategoryID=10

I was ready to volunteer in the invasion of lebanon. Like Dayokanu rightly said, when US or Isreal reacts to Islamic extremists, they call illegal. It is a pity that our ancestors failed to wipe them out when They were instructed to do so which is why God said we can never wipe them out again.
These fanatics think it is only them that know war . They forget that it is written in exodus 15:3 that the Lord is a man of war .Which is why till tomorrow, Bush will be my man as he has stood against every form of intimidation from the islamic world and from those who want to legalise abominations i.e his recent use of his veto powers.

That is not the exact figure, it is slightly more than that. That is my starting salary (plus allowance excluding tax). I just graduated.

Lioness,
Thank you  o o o o, abeg help me ask them. 


P.S,

lioness:
Na Waya Oh. No be Mary dey appear again , now na Jesus dey cry.

Jesus see Warri begin cry

I like ur sense of humour. I have warri origins but that place truly deserves the tears of our Lord Jesus Christ .Just that HE wouldn't do it thru statues like they thot.

Yes, Slight ones due to stress but I lay hands on it and I tell you that within 30 seconds it has gone.
The feeling is like something melting away. I don't even know how to explain it to you guys.

Awwwww,dat is so sweet. I am flattered. So we even have well mannered ladies in this nairaland. Na wa o o . I am very flattered, Thank you.

@elampiro,
Please sir, don't get me wrong. I am not attacking the church. I just question some of the worship. I respect that catholic church for a lot of things and one of those things is their conservation of some of the biblical teachings.
I am sorry if you felt I am attacking the catholic church. I have no right whatsoever to judge any denomination.
Once , again my apologies for writing in tone that led to this misconception.

the "Hmmmm" is the sarcasm in the statement.

@elampiro,
Didn't want to say more but I am forced to ask you, How well do you know church history and what do you think this present day catholic church emanated from? Why do you think we do not have the Apocryphas in the canon? Do you really think the present catholic church is what was depicted in the main canons? This is not the place for me to start giving an expose on the catholic church. I am from a catholic family and as such I have no grudge against them;just that I call a spade a spade and as such it is idolatory for me to pray through mary (call it honour if you like), honour angels (which are meant to minister to me), etc.

Satan is surely having a feast on some people. My prayer is that you will know better. Do you know the difference between me and you?

@ mukina2,
So it was sarcastic afterall. So tell me, why did you lie about the sarcasm? 

@ deb,
You really crack me up. But let me ask you , do pastors provoke so much anger in you or is it just that you can't stand them in general?

In-line with what you correctly noted, being a pastor does not make me a supernatural being but something else which qualifies me as a true pastor actually does. Have you seen the other topic I posted titled: "I am a god because I am a pastor" ?

nferyn:
If you want scientists, I'll exclude nutwases like Freud, because what he did was anything but science .

I'll put them in order of importance (in my opinion, that is)

1. Charles Darwin
2. Isaac Newton / Albert Einstein
3. Maxwell
4. Niels Bohr
5. Karl Popper (not a scientists strictly speaking, but extremely important to scientific thought)

  You are so funny. I like your sense of humour and your good command of english. Why is Freud a nutwass?
Neways, Amongst those listed,could you please classify the scientists into these three groups?
1. BELIEVERS IN A CREATOR
2. NON BELIEVERS IN A CREATOR.
3. CONTROVERSIALS.

P.S,
I have my reasons for asking; reasons I presume you have already deduced.

I can't feel you guys, I have an HND and I earn more than 560,000 naira after tax per month (allowances inclusive) and I work with a nigerian company. Can you beat that? How many of you in UK can boast of my salary without working your arses out?
