dmcdad: I am taking my mind away from Messi winning individual accolades this season cause the situation is really getting alarming. Quickest recovery to La Pulga.

onuwaje: pls what time is the match

Ukuts gp: but the truth can never die

Enigma: Which time did I suddenly become your "bro"?

See you will do yourself a biiiig favour by finding out about the Church of Jesus Christ that consists of all believers/disciples of all ages and everywhere globally.

Let me give you an example from a post by a brother: https://www.nairaland.com/1140562/true-church



You see that? No priests, no "popes"! BUT they are still members of my Church, members of the Christian Church.

I know that the Roman Catholic Church will not allow such to share in "the eucharist" BUT they are welcome to 'holy communion' with me anytime!

Enigma: Just like I knew what you would say -- the same thing that the mumu ogas at the top of Roman Catholicism have brainwashed you people with.

Come let me show you my Church; please remember to first take off the Roman Catholic glasses preventing you from seeing!

1 Corinthians 1:2

To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours

Ukuts gp: Worship of the cross, images and relics was authorised by the order of Dowager Empress Irene of constantinopole, who first caused to pluck the eyes of her own son Constantine VI, and she called a church council at the request of Hadrian I, pope of Rome at that time.
Such practice is called simply idolatry in the bible and is severely condemned (read exodus 20:4, 3:17, deuteronomy 27:15, psalm 115).

Enigma: I am being nice to you, you just don't know. I could easily have pointed out to you that you too must have come out from the loins of a fool.
I chose not to but to focus on historical facts about Roman Catholic "popes" instead.

As for my "church", I am part of the Church, I am part of the Christian Church. You will see my "church" anywhere you see two or three people gathered in Jesus' name.

Enigma: As I said, I don't mind being called a "FOOL"; BUT then Roman Catholic "popes" are worse because they are generally LIARS, many have been fraudsters, murderers, heretics, adulterers etc. Look, even Roman catholic bishops and historians say so! I can give you "quotes" if you want.

And of course you are ignorant about Acts 15 having been brainwashed by the fraudulent Roman Catholic interpretation of the passage; I would have explained it to you but it is not even worth my while.

Yep, so I am a "Fooooool"; but Roman Catholic "popes" are murderers, heretics, fraudsters, liars etc.

Ask yourself which is worse.

Ukuts gp: i celebrate the birth of jesus which is in d bible. U can go and hug transformer for all i care.

Enigma: Thank you! I am happy to be a "fool" for Christ and for the Christian Church!.

By the way, I hope you know that some of the "popes" of Roman Catholicism were murderers, heretics, inces.stuous people, adulterers etc. In other words they were worse than just being "Fool".

Enigma: Sorry, what you are displaying is exactloy what we are talking about: either ignorance or deliberate lying.

If you are wise, you will go and educate yourself --- with honesty!

Enigma: People who believed in Christ but did not know about the "authority" or "primacy" of some "pope". In fact, the ones I'm talking about never even heard of any such thing called "pope".

Go and do some research. I know you are also familiar with my posts on other threads.

Enigma: Indeed, when Roman Catholic denomination people claim that they "compiled" the bible they are either ignorant or they are being deliberate liars.

The Roman Catholic Church did not finalise its own "Bible" till the 16th century at its Council of Trent.

Meanwhile Christians had already "compiled" the books of the Christian Bible by the end of the 1st century and very early 2nd century.

Ukuts gp: The vast majority of the doctrines and beliefs of the Roman catholic church have no basis whatsoever in the bible. They were added at a later date contrary to the clear warning of the bible in Revelation 22:18, Which amount to disobedience and blatant disregard of God's instructions.
Here is a list of the main unscriptural doctrines and the date on which they were made official. All Roman catholics are forced to accept them without question.

1. The daily mass-394 A.D.
2. The doctrine of purgatory(pope Gregory)-593A.D.
3. Prayers to the virgin, Queen of heaven-600A.D.
4. The first pope(Boniface 3)-610A.D.
5. Kissing of the pope's foot began in 709 A.D.
6. Temporal power of the pope declared in 750A.D.
7. Worship of images, relics and cross, this began in 788 A.D.
8. Holy water blessed by a priest-850 A.D.
9. Veneration of st. Joseph-890A.D.
10. Canonisation of dead saints(pope John the 15th)-995A.D.
11. The mass declared to be a sacrifice of christ-1050A.D.
12. Celibacy of the priesthood and nuns-1050A.D.
13. The rosary introduced by peter the Hermit in 1090A.D.
14. Selling indulgencies began in 1190A.D.
15. Doctrines of transubstantiation adopted in 1215A.D.
16. Confession of sins to human priest-1215 A.D.
17. Adoration the water(pope Honorius)-1220 A.D.

20. Communion under one kind-1414A.D.
21. Seven sacraments declared in 1439A.D.
22. Superstitions of the Ave Maria(pope sextus)-1508A.D.
23. Tradition established as infallible authority.-1545A.D.
24. Apocryphal books added to the bible in 1546A.D.
25. Infallibility of the popes-1870A.D.
26. Mary declared the mother of God, 1931A.D.
27. Assumption(translation) of the virgin Mary, 1950A.D.

This is only a partial list as the burning of candle wax, incense and many others were not included in the list the Roman hierarchy has added to the bible. All of them are without a shred of divine authority.

It has been proven that almost all these tradition and dogmas accepted by the Roman catholic church are of pagan origin. This has been admitted by prominent Roman catholics themselves.

Cardinal Newman, one of the authorities most respected by Rome itself writes on page 359 of his book 'the development of the christian Religion' state that incense, candles, votive offerings, holywater, holidays and seasons of devotions, processions, blessing of fields, sacerdotal vestments, monks, nuns and knights, images etc are all of pagan origin.

It is clear that Roman catholic is not a church but a glorified cult. They are just acting like a church. They have lost their glory since the pagan took over it. What they are practising now is black magic and voodoo. And note that anyone practising those rubbish will nt get to the gate of heaven not to talk of entering it. They will be huled to hell fire-REVELATION 21:8. REVELATION 21:27.

These practices are mere traditions of men and not of God.
The catholics have since lost its glory what is remaining now is dryness, and it have been taken taken over by pagan and traditionalist. Be WARNED!!!

Johnpaul88: I guess this week have been all about the press asking the players concerning the modification on the playing style of the team and improvements.

For me, the media are confused as to what exactly they expect from this particular FC Barcelona.

When the team wins but with less possession, they question them why they are abandoning the tiki-taka style that have won them alot of accolades. When the team loses or draws playing possession football, they 'll demand for a plan B or C.
This term the team have ceded more possession to the opponent in order to allow for some few surprises, yet they yell that Martino is betraying Barca's playing pattern. For some of these media, they'll prefer that Barca loses while having 70% or more of the ball, so they have some thing to jeer about.

It's really sad that they have refused to acknowledge the solidity Tata is gradually bringing to the team. We concede less goals though the opponent see our goal more now than before. But we have been able to repel some of the attacks.

The question they keep asking is, is it tiki-taka or Plan-B or Result? They seem to be divided in finding answer. For me, i'll go for the last option. Others will follow.

Demdem: In summary, ASUU do not trust govt. Only fools will.
Good demands from ASUU demanding that all affected government agencies should sign the commitment. They should also make sure that that useless David mark sign.
ASUU has mastered the means of holding the govt by its balls.
