woky: am doing Great!!

U?

woky: In mark 9:50, you commanded us, Dear Lord, to have peace with one another. You also promised in Luke 1:70, to guide our feet into the way of peace. The peace you give is not the type that the world gives.. Let ur peace come now upon our lives, our family and everything that concerns us (even this Forum) in Jesus name, Amen.

chidima: Am here oh. Having issues with my phone. I see the devil tried to sow his seed here. its good we ignored. May God strengthen us today and may we never stop flying to the patronage of so loving a Mother Mary.

God bless us all.

woky: am here o


good mornin every1, hop u guys nyt was awesome

italo: The Holy Spirit is always a Spirit of oneness and unity.

Any thing that tries to disrupt unity and/or cause division in family, Church, among friends etc can only be from the devil.

And the devil never sleeps. He can come through other people...but he can also try to sneak into our own very hearts.

May the seed of the devil not take root here and elsewhere in our lives. Amen.

italo: I was trying to say Jesus used different approaches on different occasions. The were times he was silent. There were times he spoke little and gently. A few times he launched a verbal attack. On at least one occasion he even got physical (at the temple).

I think discretion is important. We must always try to keep the right balance. Too much of anything is bad.


I agree. In the Eorope and Americe where the population of Catholics has dwindled seriously, lay Catholics have now realized the use of speaking out and making themselves and their faith seen and heard in public.

In Nigeria, we still allow people to shout us down and we allow officials to use unjust methods to relegate our faith to the background. We think our beliefs should only be allowed a fair chance to flourish in our closet or in our Churches, not in public. We say we are 1.2billion and Jesus will never leave his Church.

We forget that minds are constantly being formed by what they see and hear continually.

Anyway, I'm not advocating that Catholics should be overtly aggressive. I'm saying we should balance up...and for now, we are not balancing up.

We are way too quiet. And I'm talking about individual lay Catholics in general...

italo: Personally, I think individual Catholics are generally too quiet in public. We hardly speak out about anything in public. And it manifests in diverse ways.

Many Catholics are shy to even make the sign of the cross in public.

They cant pray in public.

Many cant defend their faith in public.

They cant even talk about it.

I personally am confrontational on issues like this but I respect our brothers and sisters who arent like that by nature.

Sometimes, you are confrontational only to later find that silence would have been the wisest option. Other times, you are convinced that you did the wise thing by speaking out.

That's why I always say that there's time for everything.

Just look at Jesus.

At times he was silent. At times he spoke little. A few times he went on a tirade...

Sal C: Ah Ah I actually understand you, but like I said, we don't necessarily need a Catholic mod in order to uphold our faith.
If anyone in authority ignores doing the right thing because he's biased, then let it be between him and God, this is a matter of someone's spirituality, not a joke.
So please let it slide for now I beg of you.

Sal C: Lolz... You are already part of it.

HumbledbYGrace: I agree

Syncan: Selection of mods is entirely Seun's call, during the last selection, I tried to make a push for striktlymi but that is history. Sal C is right, the criteria seun used was "born again", and all it needs is such a selected one to actually be a christian in deed, sentiments apart. Despite excusable frailties, they really aren't doing badly, with the enormity of the task they face. So far, only Muslims have succeeded in discussing in peace.

Sal C: Having or not having a Catholic mod shouldn't be our concern for now, what is needed is an unbiased mod who does things right.
If someone who calls him or herself a christian decideds to insult Mary in other to infuriate the Catholics, all i do is laugh at them because that won't make God degrade our blessed mother rather they are actually offending God who placed her in that position.
So please brethren lets face our business here and ignore the distractions.

try69: You have said nothing meaningful

Your problem is ignorance.. That was how a lady once asked me why I confess to God in the presence of a priest. I then asked her if she can get married without a pastor..she said NO, for what! Bla bla bla.. I told her to show me in the bible, she couldn't ..then I told her if marriage is so important that she would have to do it before a witness in the minister of God, then reconciling with God after I have sinned before a witness in the priest is of more importance to me..

You don't pay to think..it's free

Acidosis: Since we all are fruits of the 1st generation.

Can we also say, Eve & Adam are great grandparents of Jesus?

woky: lolz.. Not that easy as u tink

bizmahn: No, rather you wanted an idol by all means and you found it in Mary via the catholic church?My own God, Jesus Christ has no mother.Mary was his faithful servant and the among minutest part of His creation.Mary is but dust before Him & she knows it.Mary is less than an ant before Him.She is not His mate!... even though the reverse seems to be the case for catholics.Wallow on in ur idolatory!

woky: is like u have not read my last mail..

Check

italo: @ mods,

Can you pls make anti-Catholics allow us to discuss our faith in peace without their anti-Catholic input.

There are many anti-Catholic threads on nairaland. Even one of you Obadiah is the OP of one of them. Why are these not enough for them. What is it about the Catholic perfume that attracts these organisms so much that they even go eavesdropping on our threads. These are threads that are specifically FOR CATHOLIC TO SHARE THEIR FAITH.

Acidiosis and Holypower have been heckling us on https://www.nairaland.com/1525319/born-catholic-raised-catholic-die

And Enigma has been disturbing us on https://www.nairaland.com/1464338/thread-catholics/23

Many of their kind have condemned us to hell already. All we ask you and them is to let us go to 'hell' IN PEACE.

Ukuts gp: what about the bowing down to images, will that also save me?

FrancisTony: Nice thread
