megasoul: Exodus 20

4“You shall not make for yourself an
image in the form of anything
in heaven above or on the earth
beneath or in the waters below.
5 You shall not bow down to
them or worship them; for I, the
LORD your God, am a jealous
God, punishing the children for
the sin of the parents to the
third and fourth generation of
those who hate me, 6 but
showing love to a thousand
generations of those who love
me and keep my
commandments.


Am I missing something here? is this (2nd commandment) still valid?

fijiano202: darling theres nothing great abt the verse John 19:26-27 its like telling someone to take care or ur kids cos ur closer to them than ur other families,remeber that verse ended with '' From that time on,this disciple took her into his home'' pls not it was just 1 diciple not all. Mary is just like Hannah,the only significant role she played was the Birth of Christ,Esther played a more greater role in the bible.Even Christ first miracle was her mistake cos read this S-L-O-W-L-Y John 2:4''Dear Woman,why do you involve me?'' Jesus Replied. ''My time has not yet Come''

fijiano202: Firstly No Bible on earth said God told marry she will be blessed in all generation,Mary was just singing.Secondly am still trying to get the actual verse that Jesus said to mary and john,meet ur mother and son meet ur mother,Do you know even Jesus refer to mary as that Woman

Neatboy: There's one fact about Christianity that so many people don't understand. Every denomination is fulfilling a ministry in this world. There is alot of Christian cultures that the catholic church is helping to preserve. And if not for the Catholic church Christianity would have been totally americanized. And if not for this new generation churches Catholic church would have been so archaic and too ancient. My parents are not Catholics but I am a Catholic. What most Christians don't know is that the Holy Spirit still dwells both in the Catholic Church and in other good Pentecostal churches. I am not here to criticize any denomination, but I am here to tell us that we are all one body (church) and Jesus is the head. I know of a Pentecostal pastor that always browses through the Catholic archive for research all the time. It is high time we started seeing each other as one, doctrine apart. I think critically and I study the bible. I am a charismatic member of the Catholic church and I also attend Dominion City at times, I have never seen a Catholic worshipping Mary or any statue. Praying infront of an object is entirely different from praying to the object. Afterall, anything can be an object. Even in heaven we have objects--read Revelation. Even when you face the wall and pray it is still an object. Moreover, churches this days have altars. Mary is a saint because she is the only woman mention in the bible that was in the upper room with Jesus' disciples when the Holy Spirit came, that means she also preached and spoke in tongues. And we all know that our mother has alot of role to play in our life, even Jesus' first miracle was highly influenced by his mother. If it was possible for his mother to have little influence on him on earth will heaven be exceptional? I believe it is ok for we to ask the physically dead but spiritually alive to pray for the living to the Son who is our Great intercessor. At his dying moment on the cross, he (Jesus) looked down and saw his mother and John. He said "mother behold thy son and son behold thy mother." It is crystal clear that John was not Mary's biological son. But the fact is that John represented the other disciples which made up the church and Mary represented the mother of the church while Jesus is the head (father) of the church. Let us tell ourselves the truth. Even the idea and mystery of the Holy Trinity was developed in the Catholic church and inspired by the Holy Spirit which most Christian churches have adopted. My brother, the list is endless...

alotofgrace: catholics!!!
as God use moses rish, he nor enter promise land.
as God love david rish, he nor build d temple.
so the fact that mary gave birth to christ does not qualify her to be worshipped or honoured....i am sure u r against the jewish tradition. so what makes marry more powerful and honourable than the most powerful prophet of the old testament - moses?
mary was only a carrier...or do u know bill gates mom, or dongote's, or warren buffet's, or zuckerberg's?
are u a christian? who do u believe in? do u stand for christ or mary? do u honour 2 gods? was mary a virgin after Christ incidence?
the message? choose ye this day whom you serve...God (Spirit) or a representative image? no offence

ALEXIS0240: all this religious extremist talking rubbish.guy anything outside the bible that is not in line with jesus is trash.no one comes through to the father but through me.of what use is it honouring mary.guy let salvation be your target.leave all this earthly debates.

GeneralShepherd: Is this your evidence for god?

fijiano202: @JENMUACY which heaven and earth waited for her respond,her response never matter cos its God wills @Macelliot Holy Mary stop deceiving the catholics,pls wake them up before u mislead them to hell

fijiano202: if God didnt use mary he would have used another virgin to Manifest his Glory

fijiano202: telling you as they are One as Trinity but Jesus aint God

fijiano202: let me rethink did Mary death bring us Salvation?Hell NO

fijiano202: shut up,God didnt tell mary that,mary Sang that,that was a song by Mary

fijiano202: even though the work as one,They are totally different.Jesus was in heaven during Moses,Abraham,Elijah Era,those people worship only the God the father and God spoke directly to Moses and Elijah but during matthew,mark,paul and peter we worship God thru Jesus,the Clear difference between them was at the River when John the baptist wanted to baptize Jesus,God spoke from heaven-This is whom am well pleased in,Holy Spirit Came Down like a Dove and Decended on Jesus

fijiano202: Then why dont you worship Abraham,David or Joseph those are the people God also told they are blessed, why dont you refer to them as Blessed Joseph etc or did you forget Samuel mother or Esther or Ruth or Elizabeth

fijiano202: even though the work as one,They are totally different.Jesus was in heaven during Moses,Abraham,Elijah Era,those people worship only the God the father and God spoke directly to Moses and Elijah but during matthew,mark,paul and peter we worship God thru Jesus,the Clear difference between them was at the River when John the baptist wanted to baptize Jesus,God spoke from heaven-This is whom am well pleased in,Holy Spirit Came Down like a Dove and Decended on Jesus

fijiano202: Darling an not against ur beliefs in anyway but Mary was only called Blessed before the birth of christ and was never called blessed after the birth of Christ i would like u to poing out any verse that states otherwise and Secondly i dont know whether ur from lagos or East but i understand that in the East if a lady whos pregnant with the kings Son come to ur house,there a certain respect giving to them due to the baby in their womb which is the prince and thats exactly what Elizabeth did,If you can prove me wrong then i may come to ur church for Next sunday service

fijiano202: The trinity is God the father,Jesus the son and the holy spirit,he said me and my father are 1 and with christain understanding the trinity is 1 cos the work hand-in-hand,my question why dont catholics refer to the Holy spirit as God or why cant you call Jesus as holy spirit? Or tell me mary is the mother of the holy spirit? dont be confused dude,the Father in Heaven is Different to Jesus and Jesus is diff from the Holy spirit

nwajoshua: But dat is a clear injunction or command frm God...Jesus has never given such comand abt his mther and dis can only wk wen they(parents)are still alive. For example many pple went to south Africa to see Nelson Mandela and pay respect to him wen he was alive but now he is dead, anybody dat keeps his pictures in his room honouring him and paying respct to him as regarded to his positive contributions is mad...so iif mary is alive now, we will respect her,honour her,give her gifts and point at her as an example wen teaching d women....God can never share his glory wit anybody even d angels..u gat dat?

GeneralShepherd: Why are you people fighting over imaginary friends and stories in a book written by Jewish cave men?

You all need to repent from your ways and realise God does not exist

fijiano202: Firstly OP am really sorry for my insultive words,May God forgive us all,Secondly @jenmaucy am not trying to oppose ur belief but Mary was only refered to as Blessed during the pregnancy of Christ,immediately after Christ Birth she was called blessed Mary again,after Jesus birth mary was less significant in the bible,the main reason she was refer to as blessed was because she was chosen to carry Jesus outta million Lady,check ur bible to confirm that.Thirdly why do catholic refer to marry as mother of God when we clearly know Jesus is not God,even Jesus recognize God in heaven as his father ,check john 3:16 and the lords prayer.Fourthly do you know calling Mary as mother of God is blasphemy? am awaiting ur response
