Christianity EtcRe: What Made You Leave Your Church To Start Attending Another. by okpurukata(f): 10:27am On Jul 22, 2013
honeric01: And you claim to be a Christian?

Ever read the parable of the lost sheep before?

No, because you hardly read the bible on your own~

SMH
Do you therefore acknowledge that you are a lost one. Just asking?

My only contribution is that many people do not understand that the most important part of Christianity is having a relationship with God, and above all living it up. Outside the church, how do you practice what you have learnt? That is what the Catholic church emphasizes, faith and works. If you pray and scream morning to night in chuch chasing demons and I pray and listen one hour, in church and I am able to practice what was preached Nd you did not, who is a better Christian?

InvestmentRe: Fixed Deposit And Treasury Bill Investments From Abroad by okpurukata(f): 8:23pm On Jul 13, 2013
ritux: Well nice info so far.

From my own experience, I think the interest rate varies from branch to branch. I have mine with first bank. While one branch offered me 7.5%, another branch offered me 10.25%.

Note: this is for TB not fixed deposit
Just to correct you. TB rates are determined by the forces of demand and supply. However CBN tries to cap the rates to a certain ceiling. The primary market holds every two weeks on a Wednesday through auction at CBN. You are expected to bid a Cain rate. Eg the winning rate last week was 11.5% for 182 days. And 11% for 90 days and less. The rates do not vary from Bank branch to branch.

However after the primary bid, you can purchase through the secondary market at the rate offered by your Bank. The good thing about TB is that they pay interst up front. There is no withholding tax on your interest.

Hope this helps.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Catholic Church Really The Problem? by okpurukata(f): 7:41pm On Jul 08, 2013
If you inquire deeper, you find out that they leave in pursuit of wealth and miracles. The catholic church preaches love for God and mankind,. Seek he first the kingdom of God ..... And every other thing shall be added unto you. But pentecostas preach about the things that will be added at the detriment of seeking God. That is the popular trend and the fickle minded always falls out. So, they will naturally want to justify it by blaming the church. Bet me once they jum out, they keep jumping.
TV/MoviesRe: The Most Annoying Advert You Have Seen On TV? by okpurukata(f): 7:28am On Jul 08, 2013
Mystery 1: The orange drugs advert where a woman couldnt go to the party because of ill-health and the husband WAS GLAD.Eventually she took the bloody drug and came to the party.She met the hubby dancing with a lady and he had heart attack immediately he sighted the wife.

Very useless advert. kiss kiss
Meanwhile I love the advert. Can't help laughing every time I watch it.
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop blame Devil after Being Intimate With 15years Old Girl by okpurukata(f): 9:04pm On Jul 07, 2013
Heard this on the news last week. It's truly pathetic. The way Pentecostals look for enemies everywhere. So the man that invited him to preach is now an enemy. The girl he slept with is what? This evil bishop should be punished.
Christianity EtcRe: Video Of Catholic Priest Mastubating In Front Of Congregation During Mass by okpurukata(f): 9:46pm On Jul 06, 2013
But can't see any masturbation here. Just hands moving under his tunic. This is pure photo shop. Don't think a priest can be that callous. It appears some of you do not understand the freedom of expression in the catholic church today. If that action takes place, believe me, someone in the congregation will raise alarm.

sobaemma: In port harcourt rumuagholu to be precise it been over 6 months that we see a blink of light,and this a place that links to the airport
My brother I feel you. I also live at Rumuagholu and it is terrible. I moved into this house 6 years ago. I don't know whether I have seen up to 100hrs of light in those six years. Monthly fuel bill is N20k. I have used up to six generators now.

It's simply pathetic. Yet they say Port Harcourt, Amaechi is working.

This shows once again that the catholic church belongs to the people. It's not a one man show. Kudos to the pope.
PoliticsRe: Amaechi Vows To lead Protest Against FG & The CP by okpurukata(f): 12:52pm On Jun 26, 2013
Just practically swam through Shell RD road and almost lost my car bumper. Amechi we appreciate you but you need to focus on governance. Like many others have advised the roads within the city are in a very bad shape. We know you alleviated the state of some major roads, but bros you need to do more. Be it known t you also that most people down south are seeing you as a saboteur. Please pick your fights carefully before you get consumed. Remember Nigerians have very short memory. You will be forgotten so fast if anything happens to you that you will even marvel from where ever you are. My tots

FamilyRe: Woman Delivers After Two-Years Pregnancy by okpurukata(f): 5:32pm On May 31, 2013
This same fake woman in PH. I live in PH and am aware that people are paying from N1m to N2mfor these fake miracle babies. A colleague of mine is curwrently "pregnant" for the third time thru this same woman. Pregnancy that does not show on scans. She just gives them hormone drinks to take and have a swollen but not protruding belly. Aft delivery, very slight bleeding (from cuts given to the vagina) and no breast milk flows.

Everyone should be care ful with this woman and her miracles.
Christianity EtcRe: Do Catholics Really Know Who What And Why They Worship (pictures) by okpurukata(f): 7:18am On May 08, 2013
Don't allow your jealousy for Catholics so blind you that you lose your soul. Have you ever attended a catholic church before? If yes, did they display these items and call you to come and worship them. If your answer is no, then leave Catholics alone. Go and market Muslims and heathens. There are still virgin lands to be converted to Christianity. Cheers.

Christianity EtcRe: Someone Should Please Call The Catholic Faithfuls Of Ahiara Diocese To Order. by okpurukata(f): 6:29pm On Apr 30, 2013
As long as I am concerned, Ahiara Catholics should appreciate the fact leadership in the church is not based on ethnicity. The catholic church is universal and as such an American can even be Bishop. Am Ahiara by birth and do not support this rather shameful publication. Let's stop dragging the name of the church to the dust.

IslamRe: Why Islam Prohibits You From Eating Pork ~ 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs by okpurukata(f): 5:38pm On Apr 23, 2013
This writer is distorting the facts. A little investigation on google reveals that this is not the reason the prophet banned pork meat. History has it that after oner of their jihads, the prophet and his men enjoyed the spoils of war and ate and drank so much that they got drunk. They actually feasted on pork.

In regret for his getting drunk, he issued a new law (vision) banning the consumption of alcohol and pork meat. It actually has nothing to do with the reasons posted by the mod.
Christianity EtcRe: How 'Private Jet Preachers' Aint Different From Corrupt Political Leaders by okpurukata(f): 4:41pm On Apr 21, 2013
Degis: I have read your self vindictive post. And I came to conclusion that you don't know the meaning of the words you use. If I am a semi illiterate then you are an illiterate. Your fakery exposes your foolishness, which is at par with your demagoguery of idiocy.

My child run along to watch Barney and friends and not engage yourself in discussions that are obviously way ahead of your league
Degis it is very clear you are a religious bigot. The article is clear and you are bent on insulting the other guy. It is imperative we nip the evil that is overtaking our society in the bud before it spreads. The type of life style and behaviors of some MOG and WOG are questionable. A lot of people simply float churches as business venture these days. My immediate neighbor has one beside my fence and I know the type of preaching I hear from her daily. I simply pity a lot of gullible Christians.

Christianity EtcRe: What Would You Say To This Precious Woman, The Holy Mother Of God by okpurukata(f): 6:47pm On Apr 16, 2013
A Pentecostal pastor preaching by my house one night made me realize the greatness of Mary. Hear him, "among all women thou art highly FAVOURED' . He told his congregation that no one else in the whole bible was ever called, highly FAVOURED except Mary mother of Jesus.

If this comes from a pastor, what more can I say. All generation shall call me blessed.


Maama, you are really blessed.

Christianity EtcRe: Should Pastors Be Collecting Money From Members Before Praying For Them?. by okpurukata(f): 9:22pm On Apr 09, 2013
My driver related the story of a church be was invited to some where in Port Harcourt. In the course of prayers, the pastor prophesied a lot of good things for him in particular. (I presume this is because he is a new member). He was subsequently as led to wait after service. The pastor then told him he is to pay N20,000.00 or else those prophesies will not come to fulfillment in his life. The boy was shocked. He told the pastor he does not have the money and was told to go and borrow. He refused and left. They kept calling him and threatening him to come nd pay his debt to God. That he must pay that debt. Imagine this level of intimidation.

These pastor prenuers will not kill us.

Bunch of hypocritical and blasphemous Pentecostals and Protestants. In other threads when their pastor and church is mentioned, they shout, 'Touch not my ......., judge not, etc. when they hear catholic church they get instant erections.

Imagine how the world would be if 1.2Billion people are to be taught to hate other denominations as your wicked pastors do.

Christianity EtcRe: Penticostal Protestants Are Idol Worshippers (account From An Eye Witness) by okpurukata(f): 7:34pm On Apr 07, 2013
We visited a friend last month in Lagos and was amazed that the picture of TB JOshua was enlarged and placed in all rooms and corridors of the house including the kitchen. I marveled at such human worship. A Pentecostal pastor in PH who is friendly with me and comes to my office once in a while to ask me for tithes once gave me his photograph to keep as aping of contact. I quickly returned it to him tha as a catholic I do not need such. So like some one asked before, what is point of contact as done by Pentecostals?
Christianity EtcRe: The Mass - An in-depth analysis and shocking revelation by okpurukata(f): 7:16pm On Apr 07, 2013
And let me also tell you that for blaspheming against the holy Eucharist, you are liable to judgement. Ask many Catholics and non Catholics, the numb of testimonies that have been recorded just by going to pray to Jesus in the sanctuary of the Blessed sacrament. It's amazing. I cannot be able to list all I have personally experienced praying in the sanctuary. God has done great things for me. Healings, pregnancies, financial growth, etc. we Catholics don't go about advertising miracles and testimonies because they are not the major reason we are Christians. We do not need to see like Thomas to believe. We Believe, firmly that Jesus came, died and resurrected all for mankind. His greatest message was LOVE. Every other sign, follows those who believe. I tell you, Jesus is present in the blessed sacrament of the Eucharist. He said This is my Body, and indeed if you believe, my dear, you recieve his body.

For unbelievers like you, since you do not believe, please stop criticizing what you don't know. Better keep quiet over what you don't know than continue to make a fool of your self.
