Imbe.cile.

Why I am not a fan of all these the God of this and that because I am a believer in the New convenant of Jesus who is our God but there are actually parts in the Old testament where the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are mentioned a dozen times.
I don't waste my precious time on feather-brained imbeciles like you.

I'm a Catholic but once in a while I get to attend pentecostal churches when invited by colleagues though. So I went to this very well known pentecostal church. I found out the following:

(1) They've now modelled their church into several services just as it is done in the Catholic Church unlike before when they go to church by 7am and return by 2pm

(2) They have the pictures of their daddy GO inside the church just like the Catholics use those of Jesus

(3)They also had ornaments like holy oil just like in the Catholic church

(4) They have communion service just like in the Catholic church. I took their wine and communion though grin grin

It seems to me like the essence of the pentecostalism is now been defeated because the pentecostal churches we knew when growing up never had these aspects that resembled the Catholic Church practices. To add to it some pentecostal churches now ordain bishops too which were never existent to them them except to the orthodox churches.

Wait until you see their Agbado bishops too.

Pentecostal churches have always taken communion and have had anointing oil for as long as I can remember.

But here's what I feel you should know: The difference is in doctrine and not in practices.

Your brain is too filled with Religious activity that’s why you are actively comparing the religious actions carried out in your Catholic Church with those around the Pentecostal churches you claim to attend once in a while

The word of God preached you didn’t hear, i’m Sure the prayer sections meant nothing to you, neither did the praises made to God..

But it’s the rituals and religious aspect of the church that Concerned you because you preoccupied with religion and not God..
Focus on Jesus and not this your “my church is the first church and better than you church” attitude you carrying about ..it won’t take you to heaven and it’s not but “ a Pull him down Christianity “as someone rightly said

Your crown is for knowing Jesus and not being in the Catholic Church..no medal is waiting for catholic members but true disciples of Christ
You are obviously not a serious christian

Wow...you are so ignorant? Catholics hardly read the bible so they barely know what Christianity is all about.

The word bishop means overseer and it is not a Catholic thing. It is biblical. Unfortunately, Catholics decided to make bishops outside biblical criteria.

1 Timothy 3
King James Version
3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Ignorance may be your problem, pentecostal churches had all you have mentioned here over 40yrs ago .When did you grow up, did you hear of Arc Bishop Benson Idahosa of Blessed memory, he has all that you have mentioned in place when the man of God was here, go check your history and facts before you post anything.

Even if he didn't go to all Pentecostal churches, visiting only one shouldn't get him to make many inferential conclusions.

Also Protestant churches (which is what he refers to as Penticostal) vary widely.
Baptist, Methodists, Seventh Day Adventists & Assembles of God all have huge variations. And so do others.

You misquote him ' he said once in a while when invited he attend Pentecostal churches '
However the pentecost churches are not what they used to be any longer,holy communion is supposed to be an evening meal and such it should be served not in the day time as commanded by Christ, there are many doctrines being introduced through the back door . His observations is right he report what he saw and noticed.

The first truth that you need to come to terms with is Catholic Church are of pagan origin and all religious paraphernalia you cherish so much are mere immitations of the Christianity.

Number 2.. No religion was from GOD... All religions and it's denominations are from men. Never try to elevate one and discredit another in your simple ignorance. Only those people that know the only true God and walk on his path would be saved.

Bishopric, anointing oil, holy communion and the likes were mentioned in the bible without tracing its copyright or its patent of nobility to the papacy. Hanging the portraits of Semiramis in the place of worship isn't of God but that of daddy G.O. is setting the records straight as to who registered the organization with CAC.

In summary; your observations achieves nothing.

JewsAreSatanic:


Idolater baal worshipper disguised as a christian.

The symbolism of the Denial of Christ by Peter comes to mind.

Peter being ordained by Christ Himself was warned by Christ that the devil will use him against the brethren.

The symbolism of the denial is testimony of the 3 false churches that will arise before Christ returns.

The cockcrow is symbolic as in the spiritual realm , the chicken is sacrificed before the devil is summoned. This is because the chicken announces the arrival and departure of Satan.

You would be familiar with the now common joke of why the chicken crossed the road to which the answer is : to get to the other side.

That other side is the spiritual realm and that now familiar joke was once a codex used by occult initiates to identify themselves in public and a pass code when entering their lodges.


So when Peter denied Christ , the rooster crowed announcing the presence of the devil.

At the last and final third denial, Peter and Christ eyes locked.


This is symbolic that there will be three false churches and when the final arises , Christ shall return.

The Catholic idolatry religion masquerading as the Church of Christ is the first false church Christ warned Peter and Christians about. The Catholic church was universal.

The second is the national orthodox churches like the Anglican, Presbyterian church, Lutheran, Methodist and the Afro Spiritual churches.

The last and final false church is the Judeo-Masonic American Evangelical false church to which majority of all modern Protestant churches have become corrupted by.

Your catholic church is like the original sinner in the bible. It corrupted the gospel and made man and idolatry worship a focus of the christian faith. The man worship being the satanic papal creed falsely claiming to be descended from Apostle Peter. The pagan worship in the form of the ancient and wide spread fertility goddess as represented by the Madonna is a central theme in your pagan religion.

Can you explain why you bow and pray before an image of the Madonna , worship at the feet of the Pope and ignore Christ totally only to celebrate His death?

The catholic church is pagan and also a death cult that mocks the murder of Christ since the crucifix hangs in your pagan shrine as a mockery to a risen and resurrected Christ.


Heathen Pagan idol worshipper claiming Christian.
