When will this insanity stop?

God will make name for himself soonest.

He should be arrested...

Seun:

People have a poor understanding of what ‘madness’ actually is. They think madness is something like a demon that descends on you in a moment and takes over your body while keeping you unconscious. So when a ‘’mad’ person is looking a bit sober and responding to questions somewhat coherently, they think he has been “healed”.

‘Mad’ men are just mentally ill people who have been abandoned by their families. They have good days and bad days but they are always dirty because they don’t have homes in which to take their baths and wash their clothes. They don’t have money to buy new clothes and get haircuts. They talk to themselves either because they hear voices that are not there or because they are intensely lonely because no one talks to them.

My point is that mental illness symptoms often come and go, so there are times when ‘mad’ people are really irrational and weird in their behavior, talking loudly to themselves and fighting with real or imaginary people for no reason, but there are other times when they are calm and relatively normal and if you talk to them they will respond like ‘normal’ people.

In this case, the man was said to have been healed because he could say his name and point to the direction of his family house, and because he looked alright after they changed his clothes and barbed his hair. Look, I’m glad that they took care of his hygiene but they should take care of his mental health too, by taking him to a psychiatric hospital and paying for his treatment. Otherwise, he’ll end up on the streets again when these holy people get tired of tolerating him.

That's not believe. That's fear.. your belief is based around the fear of being punished for not believing.. pretend if pretending saves you.

No disrespect to you.. but you show ignorance even though you claim you want to teach..
YOU SAY DONT MAKE STATUES, WE SHOWED YOU THAT GOD COMMANDED STATUES TO BE MADE... SOLOMON MADE STATUES IN THE TEMPLE

YOU SAID SOLOMON BROUGHT IDOLATRY.. WE SHOWED YOU THAT HIS IDOLATRY IS NOT IN MAKING IMAGES IN THE TEMPLE WHICH GOD ACCEPTED AND CONSECRATED BUT IN SERVING PAGAN GODS..

NOW YOU SAY ONLY ONE IMAGE OF CHERUBIM WAS COMMANDED BY GOD..

for your information.. Not only the image of the cherubim was made, images of PALM TREES, GOURDS, FLOWERS were also made in the temple.. (cf 1 kings 6).. And the cherubim was not only made in the sanctuary, it was also carved on the walls and doors along with the images of flowers and palm trees(v 29 and v 32, 35)... Not to mention the image of a bronze serpent (numbers 21: which was a prefigurement of Jesus Christ (john 3:14)..

AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, WE DONT HONOUR IMAGES, WE HONOUR THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT, and there's nothing wrong with that..
the bible instructs us to give honour to whom it is due (rom 13:7)..

To give respect to a symbol because of what it represents is not idolatry..
Nigerians salute the flag..

the Parliamentarians respect the Mace..

Nigerian Army soldiers salute memorials and statues of national heroes..
ITS COMMON SENSE

WORSHIP IS IN THE HEART.. IT IS MANIFESTED IN OUTWARD SIGNS BUT IT COMES FROM THE HEART..
HONOURING SOMEONE IS DIFFERENT FROM WORSHIPPING THEM..

AND HONOURING SOMEONE DOES NOT EQUATE TO IDOLATRY IF THAT S THE CASE THEN WE WOULD ALL BE GUILTY..
I now understand what the Bible mean when it says 'the letter kills but the spirit gives life' .Any sin a Man choose to commit, he can find portion of the Bible that he thinks support him. Even a murderer can quote David, a man after God's heart, that kill many for God.

Please note: God does not change, Hebrew 13:8 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever'.

His words does not change
Luke 21; 33'Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.…'

His word again is' 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'
To go against this words and erect for yourself images and be 'honouring' them because Moses Made a bronze serpent in the Wilderness and Solomon included a cherubim in building a temple according to God' instruction without an understanding of why God allowed those exceptions is suicidal.

I know your Mind is made up, i can only pray for you to come to the knowledge of the truth before it is too late. One day you will remember these words, I hope it is not with regret.

Take care

To point put ur contradiction and lies in order to continue in bashing want u clearly lack understanding on
Y r u contradicting urself.... U said images in church is idolatry, I said no its not...Solomon built images in the temple he built for God and God accepted it.......

After defeating that earlier false statement, u r now saying there was only one image...the number of images does that matter

Secondly u said God gave Solomon the instruction to make an image of a winged cherubim. Hmm!!!!!!....but I tot making image is idolatry.....so r u saying God is asking pple to be idolaters

Satan is playing ping pong with ur brain

Catholic church is the mother church
The one true church of Christ
Proof is its 2000yr history
She birthed the Canon of the Christian Bible
U r a Christian because of her
She is the true bride if Christ
The gates of hell ll never prevail over her

saintmark88:


Ur understanding of scripture is low....u mentioned images and I said Solomon made images. U went on to talk bout Solomon going after Asthoreth, using that as a yardstick to attack the Catholic church. Now lemme shame u.

1st kings 6:23

Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim out of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

New Living Translation
He made two cherubim of wild olive wood, each 15 feet tall, and placed them in the inner sanctuary.

English Standard Version
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high.

New American Standard Bible
Also in the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

King James Bible
And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim 15 feet high out of olive wood.

What's a cherubim, a winged angel...is this an image or not. He made an image in the sanctuary, d holiest place in the temple.


2 Chronicles 3:10
Then he made two sculptured cherubim in the room of the holy of holies and overlaid them with gold..

Also the doors of the temple had images

1kings 6:32


New Living Translation
These double doors were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The doors, including the decorations of cherubim and palm trees, were overlaid with gold.

Now c what God said after he finished the temple with these images that this man says images are idolatry

1kings 9 1-3
When Solomon had finished building the temple of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do,
Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
the LORD appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon
New International Version
The LORD said to him: "I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

We see here God approves of the temple with the images. Now tell me how does making images in Gods temple as Solomon did and going after another god relate??.....hope u can see ur ignorance
