don't be so fanatics... read through about scenario, you will understand is a revenge which I don't support also the victims are from different religions and countries... fanaticism will not take you anywhere good in life... just an advice

Revenge. which revenge? You guys seem to be the same no matter how hard you try to hide that

Pastor you no well. Na you cause am. Why didn*t you tell the woman you are impotent? Also sticking hand in the nyash in the name of DNA test? Now the kids that love you and know to be their papa you want to destroy their precious life, and yours too.

daviddagreat:
So to remember it. must they try to reenact it. How about they remember him by emulating Him in their everyday lives.

Who told you they don't do that and as a catholic that is only thing we are taught, not miracle or back to sender prayer

amaniro:
Honestly this thing that Catholic and some other church do is pointless. Why making fun of his death in the Disguise of religion??

Making fun of his death? Come on! He said we should always remember it. Just say you don't like remembering it or you want to wish it away or your the type that like talking his miracles only.

TimiRume:
I like how responsive you are and the example you ve given. However, i want us to look at the facts and the logic behind the Christian faith.

Now, we all confess that only God is omnipresent. In other words he alone has this quality to simultaneously attend to everyone at same time in different locations because everything/one is before him. And if we say Mary accepts favours like God from every race are we not ascribing this divine quality that only God has to her?

Yes, our faith teaches Christ was made by a woman under the law. Our faith teaches this Christ is God in flesh or God as man. God as the second Adam, did what the first Adam could not do. By reasoning of this, we can see how Mary was the mother of God as man and not God as God because God has no beginning and therefore cannot be made by a woman or subjected to dispensations. So Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is God as man. But she herself was a hand maiden of God, a vessel God used to bring himself into this world as a man. If we say Mary is the mother of God, then aint we saying Mary precedes God and God was created? but that would be false. And the only way to correct this wouldn't it by making accurate statements?

If we say Mary is still the mother of Jesus(even in heaven) is this not extra biblical? Do our earthly parents still remain our parents in heaven? Any bible proof or notion?

Continuing the argument, does that simple request made by Mary to Jesus imply that she is more than what we have seen in the bible? I think Mary and Martha did something like this too when their brother died. The disciples too and many of the Israelites. They all intervened for others. And Jesus grant them all.

You see, this where i'm finding it hard continuing with the catholic church because of blanket summaries like this. Looking at the bible, i think it has it's language and its mode of revealing itself if we follow the patterns. Because there are indeed patterns that reveal deep meanings and explain better previous knowledge.

Now you said the catholic church professes the union of both dead and living saints and you backed that with only one example that even seem problematic to me. Thanks for the example, but was that type of communion laid for the disciples to follow? Was there an express statement in the bible or a notion saying this was how Christians are to commune, the living and the dead. And commune means to communicate indeed. Let's see, Jesus was speaking with them face to face. That means they were physically present. But wasn't this just showing how Grace truncates Law and has fulfilled it and the prophecies. How do you commune with fellow saints that are not present?

If this is true, praying to mary and dead saints, how did it fly over the heads of the bible writers. Not even a sentence or few words from anyone?
I, like you want to believe these apparitions are true, but i have a hard time believing that God would have something like this in future added to the faith but was completely mute about it from Genesis to revelation. Did you see that the Jews expected Christ? This happened because of previous knowledge of it. They were promised a saviour. How are Christians today suppose to accept apparitions of Mary with no expectation of such or any previous knowledge or promise of such?

I may like to cheap in a thing or two. Jesus Christ born of Mary was full God and man. Jesus never stopped being God at any point in time. Your confusion must be 'how could human being give birth to the same God that created him?' It's a mystery. You can only find out from God. Your question or confusion resembles that of the Jews who thought Jesus was committing blasphemy by saying he is son God because they can't understand how God could have a son. Another mystery. You said God is omnipresent and we should come to him directly. And you are not wrong. But why do we need our pastors (church) to pray for us? Paul pray many times for his followers. I don't relly understand the fuss about asking for Mary's and the saints' help in prayer. Does the bible say is wrong? No. Bible may not have expressly said we should be doing it, just as many other good things we are doing today, which never expressly told us to do. We should understand a child of God never. We commune and interact with transited brethren in worship of God as if they are still here. Our God is never God of the dead. Let me stop here for now

There is no were he said homosexuality is not a sin. To attract sinners, you have to carefullu choose your word. Christ did that. It's only when they come close and begin to br exposed to the new way of life you can now tell them in black and white that their way of life is sinful. Tell them that the first time, you lose them forever. Pope Francis is a wise pope.

Christianity would have long be forgotten if not by my dear catholic church. Christ's life suffering, death and resurrection would have long be considered myths if not for the way catholic church keep it alive everyday and by festivities, remembrances and solemnities every year. Mind you when you remove catholicism from the qorld, there will be no christianity. It does not make whatever you believe or how good you think in your infantile brain so to speak you understand the bible.

Keep wondering. Keep searching the bible. Search more maybe you have not searched enough. Search before the front cover and after the back cover, maybe you will find it. Happy search fallen angel.

falcon01:
So what? Hausa people say " Amfanin SANI Ragowa" if I happen to be in that position and want to award a contract, if a family member of mine is able and capable and is worth it am giving them, and if no family is capable am looking for a friend and if no friend is capable, I will throw it out to A random capable person.

Nonsense . I wonder the mentality of those that liked your self serving comment. It seems you don't know what is conflict of interest. Also you and those that liked your conment thought your comment was how developed countries you are rushing to got to where they are today.

[quote author=Tedassie post=77462844]The old covenant(Law of sin unto death) you all are making reference to had been overwritten by the new covenant(Covenant of Grace) established through the death and resurrection of Jesus(Yehoshua al-meshiach). So what's the need in engaging in practices that are no longer relevant? No longer relevant in the sense that, Jesus Christ had paid the ultimate sacrifice( propitiation) for our sins and ended the legal rights of Satan to bring accusations to God for which we should pay the divine penalty as such those things we ought to do(according to the 663 statutes and ordinances of Jewish Law) in order to be considered worthy before God were abolished in effect thru the death and resurrection of Christ. You guys are rendering all that Christ did for us on the cross in vain, with all these so-called religious rites, confession of sins, Mary worship bla, bla, bla.

Open your eyes let the Holyspirit guide you. Shalom[/quote

Old what you said? Did they tell them to worahip idol in the old testatement and told them not to in the new testament? Catholic as the father knows what you as a kid can never know

brainhgeek:

Can you back up this claim with a Bible verse sir? I need enlightenment on the fact that Christians should practice mortification because of the death of Jesus.

He gave you reason from Bible and you are twisting it as you people normally do instead of believing in the truth exposed, just because you are meant to perish in your ignorance

May he join Our Lady in offering perfect worship to our Lord, together holy angels and saints

davillian:
Looks like pay back time
My kind of revenge , when you think you have worked and want to enjoy the fruit of your labour
That's when I come for my pound of flesh.

Not only you. Another person will equally come for both your blood and flesh when you want to relax and enjoy.

God surely cannot be mocked. This is talking to himself more than any other person. He is guilty. Yes we are all guilty but he is specially guilty. You can't be living in sin and be twisting the word of God as you like. Some you get. Some you fail and you fail woefully. You confuse the gullible. You muddle things up. God cannot be mocked. I, the writer, am not a tithe person but God's word cannot be used to deceive the weak brethren.

Nonsense. Unfortunately the world loves nonsense.

Anaemenu. Second base jare

I have been trying go like this Fani Kayode but I have not succeeded. I don't hate him equally. But I don't like him at all. It may not matter anyway. For Amaechi, I don't like or hate him.

midolian:
Please what is Ihedioha stylishly staring at in the 5th pix and Tambuwwal in the 10th pix?

The widow sef no try. Why wear a cleavage baring outfit in your husband's burial?

Cc:goatandyamtheory

castrol180:
Those that commit suicide are brave and courageous rather than dying in bits it's better to take it once

Nonsense. Those that commit suicide are weak that can't handle life challanges and want the easy way out. They are cowards.

seborrhic:
Bloody liar.
That means in a year,she swapped an average 500 babies,and no one noticed.So all the mothers are foo ls?Even a mentally challenged mother still knows who her true child is,talkless of 12,000 sane women,500 per year.
She should rather ask for forgiveness for still lying on her dying bed.

Forget it. She could have done more.

See Nigeria. I feel like crying. So if Pencom is not being probed they would not have sacked the girl knowing fully well her certificate is fake. They can't tell me they didn't know all along the certificate is fake. Their sacking is just to pay his father back because of the probe. This country is sick.

DKM123:
Bullcr.ap!
Little lie is DIFFERENT from taking a human life!

And I wonder the Bible that tells him and his likes that.

English. It is finished. why not write or speak in mother tongue and employ the services of a translator?

Abeg that person no be Igbo

Just pretty. No really beautiful

Nonsense at best. I stopped reading halfway. Mind you I'm an ardent and active Christian till tomorrow.

kolaxed98:
everybody, is this the beautiful Igbo girls I always hear about on the internet?

beautiful indeed

Say the truth and shame the devil. In your lineage and community have you seen any girl more beautiful than her.

Obosi! it can be drug related

Na the hippo first find trouble. why im come Africa, Nigeria of all places.

Believe it or not miracles still happen

Is the pastor from Kenya or South Africa?

Nonsense. Which Christian or Catholic has time for you? You just wanted cheap popularity by those dresses and they were not forthcoming and then you wanted to bring yourself to the limelight that has been eluding you by talking about the same attire everybody had forgotten. If you are really brave you know the religion you should be talking about.
