My own concern is where did this praying to and reverence to Mary emerge from? They say they don't worship her but too much reference to her can be termed as worship too. They mention her everyday and in every prayer. That's akin to worship and she's become their god. The version of Christianity called Catholicism scares me. If it was the version I was introduced into I won't be a Christian. I don't even want to talk about how stressful it is standing kneeling reciting rhymes like kindergarten. Omo....

The Apostles didn't pay tithe. Where did that originate from?
They didn't pay tithe. Tithe (1/10) was too small.

They sold their property and brought 100% to the Church.

We fit do that one?

Better be thankful that it's even 10% we are talking about now.

Every mallam with his kettle. So much doctrine is making the church a shadow of itself. Now I think we’re more like the pharisees and sadducees than Jesus.

And the crazy part is that Christian observe this doctrines even than the law of God and Christ that preaches love.

So disheartening 🤦‍♂️
Matthew 15:9 (KJV) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.


Mark 7:7-8 (KJV) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Catholicism doesn’t have much to do with Christianity; I don’t want to call it anything that would trigger a fight. But every catholic needs deliverance, from what I now know about Catholicism. I attended the Catholic Church when I was young.

10 Things Catholics Do That The Apostles Didn't

1. The apostles didn't pray to Mary.
2. They didn't pray to the dead.
3. They didn't do satanic processions.
4. They didn't go to mass.
5. Scapular.
6. Infant baptism.
7. They didn't believe in purgatory.
8. They didn't use holy water.
9. They didn't call Peter a pope.
10. They didn't bow down or worship idols.

So where did the Catholic church get these practices from?

Certainly not from the apostles or the early church.

God bless.

Sounds like you are the one needing the deliverance. What's wrong with you people?!

You call yourselves Christians but you are here judging other people. Because you attended the Catholic Church when you were young doesn't make you an expert. Why don't you focus on your own salvation and leave others.

Antichrist pushing this narrative countless time to front page,
What you don't know is bigger than you. If only you know the Bible you read today was compiled by the same Catholic church you are criticizing today..
If you want me to believe what you said I need you to tell me who is Joseph's (the father of Jesus) grandfather's wife name, or better still tell me when John the apostle died and where was he buried??
Answer these and know you have a full knowledge of the church history.
Mind you it was John that died last of all the apostle, he also wrote most of the books of the Bible.
The church is bigger than you, and there are things you don't know and have refused to learn because of your pride. Jesus lived 33 years on Earth, I bet you can't give account of each days of those years of his life while on Earth, what was he doing at his 20th year on earth, was he attending weddings , paying tax to ceaserhuh Even Jesus said people like you are unteachable, at some point Peter, Paul and Barnabas had their different method, Paul used handkerchief to heal people.
Mary tried to hide herself in humility but book of revelation had to tell you the Glory and Honor associated with her.

I guess this is the heart of the thread. If you skip over the meaning of emerged you would be exactly where you are on the Catholic Church . The hundreds of various 'churches' we have today have emerged from other churches. Each has gone its way with its own doctrine ... none the same as the church they emerged from. The Catholic Church is no different ... they simply emerged earlier. Don't expect them to be the same ... they do their own thing ... using the Bible as a base ... adopting what they want ... twisting what they want .. leaving out what they want and adding what they want. If one is ok with their version ... their doctrine then one should feel free to join up. If one isn't ok with it then he should find another "church" or like many others ...start their own .

You don't know what your great grandfather did in 1900 and you don't want to know

But you know what some imaginary apostle did thousands of years ago

Define apistle?

There is no difference between Christians and Muslims

They cannot reason

Oh, thou beloved child of hadez!
to begin with, you're not a Christian. By your Monica , one should be worried. Deeply worried.

The Catholic church is superior to your pastor and his entire church.

Ask that you may be told and educated.
Seel knowledge so that you may not wallow in ignorance
Confess and apologise so sins may be forgiven and your soul cleansed of impurities
Keep deceiving yourself. Most of what he has put up there are facts. I was once a Catholic and I thank God I left. Ask God to save you before you perish. Ignorant folks are always fast to make rebuttals, instead of critically studying and analysing facts. May your blind eyes and those of you fellow idol worshippers be open.

This also applies to any denomination, not just Catholics, that is practicing anything contrary to that which we read in the Gospels of Jesus which was followed by the apostles and the early church, otherwise they're no different from the Catholic church in that regard.

Therefore they also need to repent and return to the practices and doctrines of the apostles which they received from Jesus.

God bless.
The gospels you read were put together by the Catholic church. Define hypocrisy again.

I think the Roman version of Catholico is tinted with ancient Roman religion practice which was done in the past in order to make Christianity the state religion of Roman empire and to also shift the populace from the worship of numerous Roman gods.

Check out other versions of Catholic, like the Syrian Catholic church, Greek Catholic church, Coptic Catholic church, Byzantine church

Traditions of the church?

Derived from?
2 Thessalonians 2:15: "So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[a] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter."


The teachings passed on by word of mouth is the tradition, those by letter is what you see in the Bible.

I saw this post on social media and it more or less portrayed my thoughts and concerns, hence deemed it wise to also share it here.

If the Catholics indeed claim and believe to have emerged from the early church led the apostles, and Peter was their first bishop or pope, then why the drastic deviation from the example, doctrines and standards set by the apostles and those of the early church?

Moreover where did all the practices in the Catholic church foreign to the early church, things which the apostles never did, such as praying rosary to so-called "Mary", emerge from?

These are some important questions some of our Catholics brethren ought to ask themselves if they truly want to follow Jesus and not the traditions and doctrines of men, because it's beyond glaring that many such practices and doctrines in their Catholic church do not align with those of the apostles and the early church which they claim to have originated from.

If indeed the Catholic church emerged from the early church led by the apostles of Christ, It's my earnest desire to see them return to the example, doctrines and standard set by the apostles and early church which they received from Jesus Christ

God bless.
You are so myopic.

I would have skipped past this post, but the misleading content is a sour to a soul that seeks the truth.

Dear Poster,
For the records, know it that Catholicism does not bow down to idols. Unless you are saying that the cross of Christ that symbolizes our salvation constitutes an idol to you, then you can.

Secondly, the issue of reference to Mary. The book of Mark specifically stated that “All Nationa Shall Call You Blessed”. The question is does all nations refer to only Catholics. If you are a true believer why are you not referencing the mother of Christ. Why are you not obeying the injunction that all nations should call her blessed or are you not part of God’s nation.

Again the issue about Holy Water, have you not read from the scriptures where blessed waters where used as instruments of healing and purification. The story of the man at the pool of Bethesda. That pool of of Bethsda is a blessed body of water just like their are blessed holy water by God own priests.

Pls refrain from an attempt to discredit the church of God or the body of Christ, for the scriptures have recorded that not all that Christ did where recorded in the Scriptures.

Do have a Happy Sunday and Blessed week ahead. ✨

Those three(3) things you made mention is what i dislike more in catholic.

Na dem do h**k-up pass, but go dey form holy holy.
The discipline is too much, making the child/teen not to explore other gifts or skills he/she desires.
Liberality, this one na joke. They always tend to appear kind, but go beg one catholic man who works in NNPC to give you #100, he will only tell you stories without giving you a dime!

I was happy i ran away from their wickedness!

Did you become a Pentecostal after 29 when you hit the wall and found Christ and many men had crossed and passed?

Did your parent leave Catholic with you too?
