Everything happening there is seriously acted to give a dramatic explanation of the bible story of the suffering of christ. Can you explain what makes it a mockery?

RobinHez:
Christians are Christianity's main problem!

What is your problem with this? Why not accept the message nd move on with your life to reconcile with God?

Black men can never be equal to white men. Afterall it is a white mans God you are serving, his clothes you wear, government you practice , education you benefit from. I wonder who's fooling who. Nigerians are the worst hypocrites on Mother Earth.

I serve God who is in Heaven nd I believe in the bible,so if you serve a white man god,that is your biznexx. I gave my personal take on this matter and I still stand to it that WOMEN can never equal MEN. If pple sees things diff from you does not make dem hypocrites. The day you give equal right to a woman,then you will know the real woman she is.

Women are never equal to MEN. God is all-knowing nd he has never made a mistake

I thank God for her life

Mtcheeeewwww.... abeg make she reserve her wickedness for her future husband, that's where she would have a right to give him rat poison when caught cheating....

AntiWailer:
Answer ur question so we have a meaningful converstion

What i'm saying is that, this govt needs to obey the rule of law and not acting like a military govt. In situation whereby the efcc detains pple without trial, what are the pple I mentioned b4 doing outside of detention?because they are all the same. Bunch of thieves.

MrALIVE:
If the insecurity the presenter was talking abt is boko haram,then it is only a fool that will not admit that progress has been made

Amaechi would have asked further to know the security challenges she is talking about. Fulani Herdsmen is another one, those shites movement issue is still on ground else u forget, biafra agitation is also by the corner, niger delta militants is also there

AntiWailer:
As long as it is not Dansuki.

As for the sore election losers who criticizes everything Buhari above me.

Leave election behind you.

Thieves and corrupt people should not be encouraged irrespective of their political, religious or tribal affiliation.

When Obasanjo was there, they claimed he was jailing PDP members because of 3rd term agenda.

Let's face it, PDP are bunch of thieves and armed robbers.

Check all those staining this Govt with their stinking past they have root in PDP. (The likes of Saraki and his 40 thieves)

It is only PDP members that instead of going to court to defend themselves will rather go and pay judges to get ridiculous injunction to strike out cases or claim the court jurisdiction is questionable.

Tinubu is what?

El rufai is what?

Amaechi is what?

Obasanjo is what?

Even Buhari is what?

Sanchez01:
Sorry, Mary's mission was never prophesied by anyone. What you're quoting is actually the curse God put on the serpent for beguiling Eve. Eve and Mary are not the same.
- Gen 3:15
Would be waiting for the passage though.

Let me begin my defence of the Catholic Church and its devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary by the consideration of the similarities between the Fall of Man and the Redemption of Man.
In the Book of Genesis, we read how our first parents, Adam and Eve, fell into original sin. Satan, in the form of a serpent, first tempted Eve. When Eve had eaten of the forbidden fruit, she then offered it to Adam, who also partook. Adam, as Head of the Human Race, brought about the Fall of Mankind; it was, however, through the cooperation of Eve.
When Adam and Eve had fallen, Almighty God not only punished them and their progeny for this original sin, but He also promised to send a Redeemer.
“And the Lord God said to the serpent... I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel” (Genesis 3:13-15).
Who is the “woman” in the text of Holy Scripture of whom Almighty God set enmities against Satan? Who is “her seed”? What is meant by the words “and she shall crush thy head”?
In the Old Testament, Adam brought about the Fall of Mankind with the cooperation of Eve. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ, the God-Man, brought about our Redemption with the cooperation of the Virgin Mary. Eve, our first parent, was tempted by a fallen angel to disobey the command of God, and she subsequently led Adam into sin. In the New Testament, another angel, the Angel Gabriel, announced the will of God to the Virgin Mary and she, unlike Eve, humbly submitted.
In the Gospel of St. Luke, we read:
“The Angel Gabriel was sent to a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the House of David; and the Virgin’s name was Mary” (Luke 1:27).
How did the Angel Gabriel then address her? The Gospel of St. Luke continues:
“Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women!”
“Fear not, Mary, for thou has found grace with God. Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His Name, Jesus... The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy One which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
Who can deny the dignity of the Virgin Mary — chosen to be the Mother of Jesus Christ? The Angel Gabriel, who was sent by God Himself, honored and praised her.
Furthermore, when the Virgin Mary visited her cousin, St. Elizabeth
“was filled with the Holy Ghost, and she cried out with a loud voice and said: ‘Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?’”
Once again, honor and praise is rendered to the Virgin Mary by St. Elizabeth, “who was filled with the Holy Ghost”
Then during this same visitation, the Virgin Mary responded to her cousin’s praise of her by the prayer so full of humility and of praise to God:
“My soul doth magnify the Lord... because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done great things to me.”
As Catholics, members of the one, true Church of Christ, we honor the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ. We call her the Mother of God, because she indeed is the Mother of the one Divine Person, Jesus Christ, Who has both the nature of God and the nature of Man. By this title of “Mother of God,” we simply refer to the Virgin Mary as St. Elizabeth did when “filled with the Holy Ghost she cried out... Whence is this to me that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?”
Catholics do not, as Protestants falsely believe, worship the Blessed Virgin Mary. We honor her who was so intimately connected with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. Yes, there is only one Mediator with the Father — Jesus Christ. Only the God-Man Jesus Christ could have redeemed mankind. Nevertheless, we pray to Mary that she may intercede for us with her Divine Son. How often we request the assistance of prayers from our fellow men — how much more powerful are the prayers and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary! In the Old Testament, we read how Moses prayed with arms outstretched and interceded with God to procure the victory of the Israelites over their enemies in a crucial battle. As long as he prayed, they were victorious. When he ceased his prayers, the Israelites began to lose. Because of this, it was necessary for two men to hold up Moses’ arms in prayer until the battle was won. Also, we read in the Old Testament how Josue prayed to God to have the day prolonged in order to win another crucial battle. If Moses and Josue could have such intercession before God, how much more powerful are the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
The Gospel of St. John relates two significant accounts which relate to Mary — the wedding feast of Cana and the Crucifixion. Of the first account we read:
“There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the Mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and His disciples, to the marriage. And the wine failing, the Mother of Jesus said to Him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what is it to Me and to thee? My hour is not yet come.’ His Mother said to the waiters, ‘Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye’” (John 2:1-5).
Jesus Christ then proceeded to work His first public miracle at His Mother’s request. Everything related in the Gospels is inspired by God, and there is a reason for it. Does not this narrative of the wedding feast manifest the intercessory power of Mary with Jesus Christ, her Divine Son?
In the second account, also take from the Gospel of St. John, we read:
“There stood by the Cross of Jesus His Mother... When Jesus therefore had seen His Mother and the disciple standing whom He loved, He saith to His Mother: ‘Woman, behold thy son...’” (John 19:25-27).
Just as Eve cooperated with Adam in the Fall of mankind, the Blessed Virgin Mary cooperated with Jesus Christ in our redemption. She “stood by the Cross of Jesus.” What anguish, what sorrow did the Mother of Jesus experience at the foot of the Cross as she witnessed the sufferings and death of her Divine Son!
In both accounts, Jesus addressed Mary by the term woman. In Hebrew the word used by Jesus was a term which would be addressed to a queen or a woman of high rank. It was a term of great respect.
But why did Jesus Christ address His Mother by the term woman at these two significant moments in His life — at His first public miracle, and at His Crucifixion on the Cross?
Our Divine Lord wanted to clearly indicate that His Mother was the Woman spoken of in the Book of Genesis:
“I will put enmities between thee (Satan) and the Woman, between thy seed and her seed, and she shall crush thy head.”

In conclusion, let us, as members of Christ’s one, true Church, fulfil the prophecy made by the Blessed Virgin Mary during her visit to St. Elizabeth — “Behold henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.”

Thnk you.

Let me break your heart a bit. Prophet Isaiah, Micah, and John the Baptist all foretold the coming of Christ. Before Mary was conceived of the Holy Ghost, she was confused, lost and greatly afraid as she had no idea what was to happen?


Joseph, on the other hand was ashamed and disappointed in Mary after it was discovered that she was pregnant and was planning on putting her away (dumping her) when an angel persuaded him to stay with her.

This negates your earlier assertion in which you claimed Mary had long been prepared for the legendary role she was to play. Worshipping or honouring Mary while believing she will intercede is not strong put her in the immortal role she is enjoying in some Christian churches.

Nobody knws what plan God has for him/her until it is fulfilled. Mary's mission was already prophesied long b4 her conceive of jesus. "I will put a barren between the woman and the serpent". I will give you the chapter when I get home sorry

James 5:14King James Version (KJV)

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

First he said elders of the church, not priest or pastor. Notice he said elders not elder? So he wasnt referring to one person. He was referring to a group of people who he later described as those who have learnt the scriptures and grown and therefore had better understanding. He wasnt talking about someone who was given a certificate by a seminary.

Secondly, where did he say that the elders of the church are more special or their prayers were more answerable than prayers from others? Jesus said to us to ask and ye shall receive. All through scriptures, we are told to ask, not tell someone to ask for us. But then, if you belong to a local congregation, there is nothing wrong for your fellow brethren or local leaders to come together to pray for you or with you. Jesus clearly told us that where two or three of us are gathered, he His there. He also told us that if two of you shall agree concerning anything, it shall be done for you. This has nothing to do with some men being special before God.

James said clearly that "the prayer of faith shall heal the sick" He didnt say the prayer of the priest or pastor but the prayer of faith

Read to the end of that james verse and stop dragging me back

Sanchez01:

This is funny. And how did He do that? On several occasions that Mary came close to Jesus, she was denied. Perhaps the teachers who teach the "honouring of Mary" kept that part from followers of their faith. Jesus never went about with Mary, Joseph's wife each time He preached the Gospel.

Why did jesus ask John to take care of mary when he was dieing? Since she had other children,she would have been given to the other children instead. Please bible is not novel

Sanchez01:
As far as it's a Biblical figure you worship, other than Christ, you should be able to give us Scriptural backings to prove your points, perhaps cause us to turn and start worshipping it too.

My name is Linus and you say it's Philip, maybe you are right. I'm telling you we honour mary and you say we worship her,so you are right. Cheers
