Everlastingson: Stop believing false and human doctrines. If you want to get to heaven at the end of your life, stick to the Bible alone. Don't accept teachings that are outside the Bible, it's not from God. You must be born again, don't forget. Otherwise you're not a Christian . John 3:3-6. Now you can choose to believe the Bible or to believe the Roman Catholic dogma. The ball is in your court. The One Who died on the cross alone is your Saviour. There's no other. John14:6; Matt 11: 25-28. Acts 4:12. 1Timothy2:5-6.
firstly, the bible specifically the New testament you have today was a product of Christian tradition by the same Roman Catholic church(though before the east-west schism). I will rather believe the traditions of the church(Which the bible is a part of) for the continuity and preservation of divine truth.
Secondly, In Early Christian/Catholic Belief, Jesus is strictly God. One teaching your church doubts ... So why do you think we will equate a human(Mary) with God. Note, Mary's divine glory just like the saints and Angels reigning with God, was by virtue of God's grace of redemption not from her own self but her willingness to accept the pains and undertake the sacrifices she underwent to Bear Gods son, the shame she bore by her virgin pregnancy (which must have being perceived in her enviroment as punishable- Adultery and a coverup lie of virgin pregnancy). The pain she bore for 33 years and beyond knowing fully well that her darling son will be humiliated and die shamefully. Have you imagined how many times the Devil would have tormented her to tell her God is a liar? That there will be no Glory... Yet she never deviated from supporting his salvation mission? She followed him even when all the disciples went into hiding!
She had a faith!
Why are you so proud to thank God for raising such a woman? Or any other Angel or Saint we ask for intercession? These are heavenly Priests who bring our supplication to Our God, Jesus Christ! God is Jesus. The mission and salvation part was the "son" , the love and active part is the "spirit". So when we say 3 persons in one God... It's simply an explanation in best human form of God's revelation of his person to our ancestors from the time of creation till date. So next time when you see a veneration of Mary or any saint... Don't be infuriated.
And again you restricting your belief to the bible has no problem but my fear is , how well do you know the bible . Have you studied? Or you are simply restricting yourself to a misinterpretation of the holy book? I will advice you delve into the the facts about the compilation of the Bible for more unbiased understanding of the Christian faith. Not this bastardized commercialized faith you call Christianity today. You cannot talk about a book without knowing it's author, what inspired it's write up.
You have to seek knowledge beyond sheer fundamentalism. Enlightenment doesn't come to a closed mind.
livebullet: Mary nurtured the God-man who died for you. Mary could not have being with SIN, the reason God "impregnated" her himself, to break the inheritance of sin. So as not to soil the Paschal sacrifice...Jesus was God. Unless you do not believe so.
Mary was officially commissioned our mother when Jesus handed her to John the beloved at the foot of the cross. "Mother, behold thy son, Son Behold your mother"... From that day, John took Mary into his house... Before you tell me John was Mary's biological son, remember that was John the brother of James, sons of Zebedee.
waiting for you to come quote the part where Jesus said "here are my brothers..."
Everlastingson: Did the Bible ever tell you that "Mary" is your mother? You need to repent now coz there is no more time . If you die in this ignorance you'll end in hell. The Saviour is Jesus, not "Mary". Did "Mary" die on the cross for you? And did the Bible ever tell you that there are two saviours? Or that "Mary" is your Saviour?1Timothy 2:5-6. Acts4:12

Any bank can fold up. But some banks are more reliable than others. Whatever can end First Bank, UBA or Zenith Bank must have first crushed all other banks before getting to any of these three banks in Nigeria. Each of these three banks can merge or change name at any time. But folding up will be tough.
Any of these three banks can be wounded any time, but folding up will first cost the end of other ones. First Bank is affected by the unethical behaviours of this Heritage Bank. But First Bank is still standing.
Choosing a bank is like choosing custmetics or medications. Don't follow adverts and packaging, check the contents and the factory standards.
unity004: EDO politics is very interesting. Full of drama, from obakesi and oshiomole godfather and godson crisis to oshiomole being sack as APC national chairman by a APC ward chairman to obakesi contesting on APC platform against ize iyamu on PDP platform and obakesi contesting on PDP platform against ize iyamu on APC platform in the next election year and now the drama between obakesi and shaibu. Edo politics always keep me entertained.
LilMissFavvy: Can he truly say that he's been faithful all through his marriage? Let his consience judge him. Even if you divorce her, her life continues. Forgive if possible
It wasn't difficult to tell this is a female. Probably one o them.
happney65: Una dey abuse Catholics now o. A child abusing his great great great grandfather.
When be say all of una na from catholism una comot go establish your own churches here and there
Eyin werey
People wey dey worship "daddy" and money over God dey yab image made to depict a key player in salvation ... The post is surely an anti-catholic post. But we no send. We love Our Mother Mary and Jesus our *God* .
[quote author= post=130211929]Even Reverend Sister Don Join, I'm Speechless[/quote]She is wearing white.... Does that make her a rev sister?... They should tell us her congregation an convent address let's go and verify. Not ruling out the possibility though... But I have my doubts
Armaggedon: It is nobody's business if an examination body chooses to play politics with education. Southeast governor should simply ask them to move the exams. Even NYSC camping that is done by the military has a shorter period in the East. It is the right of candidates to take the exams under an atmosphere of security.
exactly .. in a country where armed miscreants dey show army pepper. Please WAEC should consider people's lives.. we have no security in Nigeria
*She appealed to the police and other security agencies to step into the matter to rescue her husband to save the family from the pain and agony it is passing through*
Unfortunately, The Police doesn't exist. They can't solve even a crime of stolen toothpick May God continue to Secure Nigerians
Believe what the government puts on the media at your own peril, these are all part of the script.. Nigeria is a drama being played out to the suffering amusement of the common man. It's the Elite Vs The Audience .. u can only observe, you can't edit the script.
Kapeter: Many of you get bishop Oyedepo wrong actually. Many give for whatever reason not because they are cajoled to in Winners chapel. Offering and whatever you have to give in Winners chapel is taking once in a white envelope. If you like drop empty envelope, if you like put your life savings. Winners chapel do not cajole members to give and give and give. Can’t say same for many other churches. I’ve attended lots of Pentecostal and orthodox churches and I have first hand info about their ways.
KingAzubuike: That's my papa. Anybody wey no belive can go to hell. You believe in your babalawo, you believe in jazz. Let us believe in whatever we believe in too.
We do not doubt God, but miracles should be subject to proof not just claim
Whenever Pastor is mentioned... (Nigerian Pastors) hmmm... When I say Christianity is not without the CROSS pastor will say it's all about GLORY. I like the fact people are begining to see that we can all face challenges what matters is to counter it with FAITH... So next time when Pastor tells you, you cannot be sick, simply tell him LET GOD'S WILL BE DONE.
ChizzyBuna: White people realized how useless it was
No choice than to return it back
The whites showed the world that Benin Kingdom jazz na SCAM
White people gave Benin Kingdom FATALITY It was the easiest war the Europeans have ever fought.
Their Oba even ran away before Europeans arrived the palace
They thought they had the strongest juju ever But they didn't know that Whites had their own juju called Gun a.k.a gunpowder.
30 Benin warriors rushing to attack with spear and matchete. Only to be greeted and baptized with steel bullets They had no idea of the invention of Guns
Ask the Europeans about Juju in Benin Kingdom They will laugh and laugh and laugh
.... oga before the invasion Benin already had been in trade with Europe for over 300years... There was already guns in the land too.... don't sound like that was the first time they saw guns . Read! Sir Read!
While the white man is talking conservation of earth, so as to ensure sustainability for posterity, here we only know looting! Loot now now and forget tomorrow. Yahaya Bello and all politicians.
PrayWills: I walked out of four square last month. These people collected five offerings in a four hour service. It wasn’t thanksgiving or anything oo.
Normal Offering Building Offering Love Offering Men offering Holy Communion Offering
The last straw was Holy Communion offering, immediately I heard that, I jus collected house keys from my wife’s bag and walked out.
Once I pay my tithe via transfer, I don’t think I will ever go to a service again. There’s no love in the church, how will you stand on the altar and ask people to come give five times knowing fully well how things are hard, that’s callousness.
Jesus would have whipped them out of his fathers house, I’m sure!
Guys, just imagine if there was a church that gives out its entire offering box to a family in need at least one Sunday a month.
These churches are getting greedy, you have no idea the amount of money these people are seeing. I myself have paid nothing less than 50k in tithe this year and I am broke oo.
Imagine people who are well off or who people who really have money; my point is our churches have to do more, a lot more.
But the five offerings still Dey burst my head, these people are making it hard to serve God oo.
E never reach 10years when we dey warn una here? Una say na sons of perdition we be for calling out pulpit greed. Especially from these Pentecostal fold.
It's too much bro. They even threaten u that God won't bless you if you don't give all these monies
Above, N8m now N9m Above, killed after ransom, now same Above , Edo now again Edo. Just barely a month after... Something is telling me it's same kidnappers.
Plea what? On what grounds... So the lives of those wasted should just go in vain like that? May any judge who grants such lose his life to kidnapping.
southsouthking: APC becoming to desperate in my state. First they tried to turn the people of Edo against Obaseki using the case of the Oba in court which Obaseki has no hand in it. Now they're shooting themselves on the feet with this video posted by Monday Okpebholo the APC gubernatorial candidate.
Some one should tell Monday Okpebholo that he needs a good adviser at this critical time.
Oshiomole diverted the 30 billion world trade funds for himself and his estranged wife, and used part of it to build a paradise in his home town Iyamu.
APC is dead and buried in Edo State, no amount of cheap blackmail can stop Asue Ighodalo AI.
Mumu.... yet Oshiomole built the best University in Edo... Built the best roads...
Give Obaseki another 8yrs he will not match Oshiomole 's feat
Calvary247: My husband cheats alot. I tried communicating with him to consider my emotional and psychological well-being but he didn't really take kin interest. I have wanted to cheat back but thinking of it disgusts me. Just help with a piece of advice that will help me.

Have you done a self-audit... Sometimes the cause may be you. Do you treat him like a man? Or you want to act a modern woman.... you know una feminist agenda na.
achimendy: Keep on deceiving yourself with this levite hullabaloo.
Tithing is one of the principles for financial breakthrough. Am practicing it and it's working for me.
You simply don't know what is working for you. You may as well say it's the fact that you eat rice often that is working for you. Or maybe because you board bikes often . Ignorance is healthy to the ignorant
