Praying for a dead person is futility. It's what they were before their death that determines whether they find peace or damnation in the hereafter.
You may only pray for God to grant their families the strength to bear the loss.

You are not God to whom the prayers go to. So don't play one. Leave people to mourn their own way

erniok:
I guessed as much. Your understanding of the scriptures and its times are very shallow. Go back and read the scriptures. Joseph never used the word worship neither was it implied. In fact, his brothers used the word reign. By implying bowing means worship, it means papa Abraham in Gen.23 was worshiping the people he bought Sarah's burial site from.

FYI, it's not the Lord's work you are doing. No. On the contrary it's ignorance on rampage.

I refuse to go in circle. Meanwhile I asked you question you have refused to answer but I leave you to your fate. With all due respect, I can see you are irredeemable. Take care

erniok:
You see, you are all over the place because of excitement.

The title saints are for all believers else brother Paul would have been writing to the dead when he wrote his epistles. That's why I said some traditionsnof the Roman catholic church is wrong.

Second, paul put a caveat: as I follow christ meaning once I stop observing all that he commanded, stop following me. Paul has never asked anyone to pray to him so I don't know what you are going on about. Imitating is have me as a role model which is entirely different fro worship. The dictionary should help you out on this because you seem confused about those terms: imitate and worship.

Now, I'd like the place in scriptures where joseph told his brothers they will worship him.

Funny. Because of excitement? Maybe I am, and I believe it's the Lord's doing. One way or another you confirmed what I said. You know Joseph's dream in Genesis 37. Also you don't tell me you don't know it's fulfilment in Gen 43:26. Meanwhile I am still waiting for answer to my question.

erniok:
You first paragraph is laughable so I'll let it slide.
On your second paragraph, you had issues with the scriptures and I simply advised you to take it up with the author. I'm judging no one. The word is our judge whether you live right or not.

You continue to hype on this your quote that I ordinarily don't have issues with, as that's primarily catholic way of life. This is one of the reasons people that lived holy life are beatified and made saints in catholic church because they were imitators of Christ and people that knew them or grew in their generation can easily relate with and imitate them.

You now accept one can imitate Paul, not Jesus as it were. Soon you will ask Paul to help you in prayer, even when Christ is only mediator. After all, he did it while alive. So why can't he do it when he is no more? After all, our God is God of the living and not of the death. And whoever is in Christ Jesus doesn't die. Oops, holy digression! It's good though. But that's by the way

Problem with you guys is you pick what you like and leave the ones you don't like or should I say you are oblivious of. I asked you before what you meant by worship. Before that, remember Joseph told his brothers they would worship him, which happened. And it's God that made it so! Did it make Joseph a God? No. Did it make his brothers idolaters? No. So again, what is the description of this your worship, worship thing?

People that grew up in “old” Pentecostal church like TAC and CAC consider it a sin that a female wear trouser ,use powder ,wear ear rings etc . Therefore they find it odd that when they see other Pentecostal churches do all these and most time consider them odd/not holy enough to make heaven etc .

One of the disadvantages of breaking away from Catholic Church is that everyone has their own doctrine but consider other doctrines not acceptable to God . Neglecting the fact that culture have great effects on biblical lifestyle and other doctrine lifestyles.

Imagine saying a woman should not wear supposed men’s cloth and vice versa but some cultures like the Arab have their men wearing gown ,Scotland and some Scandinavian and South South people of Nigeria have their men wearing robe which apparently belongs to women in most other culture .

One of the reasons I let go of religion is because everyone is claiming to be right and the probability of one of them being right is negligible because high percentage of people will be on the losing side and I wonder why an omniscient God will create people just to make them lose in the long run .

Just do your own as man and leave the rest to God, that is if you believe in God. If you don't believe in God, just ignore and go your way.

erniok:
First, in being so excited to judge, you never bothered to read my post. I never said I was a member of the Roman catholic church. I said I'm a member of the catholic church. They are 2 different things. Secondly, if you have issues with that scripture I quoted, I can't help you. Take it out with the Holy Spirit that made it part of the holy scriptures.

You can say you are a Christian, not a catholic. It makes you look like an impostor. Catholic church is catholic church. Be it that of Rome or elsewhere. It's England that started using the word Roman Catholic church for catholic church at Rome where the head resides. If you don't know another name for catholic is universal. Your being catholic can only be as a result of being a protestant, knowing fully well you guys broke away from catholic. So Catholic is catholic. Whether that of Rome or elsewhere it doesn't make.

Mind you, I am not judging. It's you guys that know how to judge. It's you guys that think you are full of Holy Spirit that know who worship God and who doesn't. Meanwhile I am not against any church, even any religion, per se but I just wanted to correct some impression, hence my first post on this thread.

erniok:
Please edit 1 cor.11:1 so I'll have no need to quote it. In Roman catholic church because I'm a member of the catholic church, the culture is literally that of worshiping beings the scripture never recommended.

Claiming you are a roman Catholic member makes no sense and doesn't change a thing. If you like, be one. If you don't like, don't be. But I have said what I said. You guys seem to be changing goalpost. It's no longer no 'other mediator between between man and God quote '. Why should Paul, not to talk of a pastor that you don't know all his ways of life completely, be imitated at first place instead of imitating Christ direct? I put it to you, you are putting human beings where you should put Christ. Smiles. Then, what do you understand about the word 'worship'?

Nothing wrong absolutely as long as there is no worship of idol in the process. A well-deserved chieftaincy title always makes sense.

erniok:
Why you want to twist his words is beyond me. When Paul wrote :follow me as I follow christ, was he a god also to the early believers?

Why should you follow Paul? If this was coming from a Catholic now, you guys will begin to quote scripture after scripture to the effect that it is only Christ we will look up to and nobody else.

Shattuck:
pastor Paul adefarasin's wife is named ifeanyi

It must be an aberration and one-off stuff

MikeBetty:
where are you from? Are you Igbo to spew this trash? If you are onye Igbo, you deserve 30 lashes. Ifeanyi is not and can never be unisex. Ifeanyi is short name for Ifeanyichukwu. Which woman dey answer Ifeanyichukwu for your village?

Don't mind that non-Igbo fellow

Sanguine:
Ifeanyi is a unisex name.

No be only unisex name. Even unizik name hahaha

Nice one by the masquerade. You showed humility and because of that you will be lifted high just as God looked at humility of his handmaid Mary and lifted her. You are far better than many people here who exalt themselves by thinking they know it all while they wallow in ignorance. Just as the scripture says they will be humbled.

talented321:
If you like go to church, if you like change to muslim, if you like turn traditional worshipper, if you like turn atheist, if you like turn whatever you want turn into, when you time come you will surely go down and nothing will save u.

Why avoid the topic and talk different subject altogether?

Nonsense story

Emmypure:
Asari went to far with that statement, I expect the military to arrest him so that he can explain more.

They cannot. But if he was Igbo they would.

[quote author=waynetee post=123848708]They don bribe one yoruba or one okoro don change hin name to yoruba name.

Yorubas still have more people, companies and some good properties in portharcourt than they have in the the whole of SE and they are not planning coup on anybody. 500k my foot[/quoter]

Truly you guys are insecure. Well average Igbo man doesn't care. Average Igbo doesn't even see you. In Anambra for instance an average man doesn't care if you are Yoruba or Igbo. All he cares is business. You guys are too childish.

This is a lost battle, dead on arrival

Add na so I think am but not necessarily as e go be shaa

Alliswell248:
We r interested in issue based politics, not beer or kids politics.

Who gave him the power to attack and not to attack? Let him simply say Tinubu has done well so far. Who asked him about attacking or not attacking? However for I as a person, it doesn't make sense at all to appraise Tinubu yet.

Reno seems confused. Looks like he needs help.

I disagree. Muslim should take it. You guys can take everything. We've got no problems with that

MrBrownJay1:
if i ever get lost in the amazon forrest, i would rather have SURVIVAL SKILLS than a useless bible! by the time better hunger don jam your stomach, you will be insulting your god and eating your bible pages, while a smart person with "survival skills" woud be dining in luxury in that same jungle.

You are talking too much and giving yourself self unnecessary pep talk.

MrBrownJay1:
if it was in Nigeria, they will now thank some yeye god, while the reality is that LUCK coupled with THEIR SURVIVAL SKILLS SAVED THEM!

I pray one day your survival skills and not God should save you.

OloYeOfEgbE:
These nighas don't know what secret service is at all...

KEYWORD ...(SECRET)

Everything is just upside down

Secret service also doesn't go about arresting people like vigilantes

KEEP QUIET THERE MUGU..... THEY'RE ALL IGBOS, IF YOU DOUBT THEN ASK YOUR ANCESTORS.

Come PH come tell them

Otunbakayce:
Just another ikwerre slowpoke! You are all ibo people.
If you think you are not, then stop bearing Ibo names.

I hate this attitude of some my Igbo brothers trying to tell Ikwerre who they are or who they are not. They say they are not Igbos, at least majority of them say they are not, respect that please.

Shigishege2:
Are ikwere igbo or not. Help us put this hullabaloo to rest abeg. We wan check something. Na supreme Court we dey now. Any ruling here na final.

He has already said they are not Igbos. Why ask am again?

And some people were seated there and listening to this nonsense that is turning my stomach while reading it

bhella10:
She had better keep a low profile. These guys could want to "re-visit" her. if I were her lawyer I would advise she hides her head

Re-visit her for what? Seems you are stylishly advising them? What you should know is this kind case is not cult or gang things where scores are counted and retaliations perpetuated. This is purely criminal and those behind it have been nabbed. The least that can come to their mind is the woman. What matters to them now and always is saving their skin. The woman did them no wrong and they know that. Criminals generally think almost the same. Where the woman's life would have been in danger was during trial but it wouldn't be easy to carry out without suspicion falling on the suspects.

And we supposedly had a president when all these were happening between the commission and the force

Hahaha. Sense people. Decrease when you have stylishly increased the price. So why should they reduce it?

jahsharon:
Peterside go cry for 8 years ooooo. He is one of Peter Obituaary's advisers. Tinubu humiliated them all.

Obviously you don't know Atedo Peterside. Atedo Peterside is self-made and he is not begging anybody anything. Politics cum economy wise, I am not sure it is him that will cry if ever there will be cry to cry, but I am sure it will be you
