ByfireByfire: ByfireByfire:Haha have I said anything bad? See Jesus told people stories of life and the people asked to be close to him. Yes he allowed. John the Baptist after hearing about Jesus sent his disciples to Jesus and ask him if he is the messiah. My bro Christ was not ashamed to tell them neither did he insult them. Since you are a Christ like 'christain' and we want to know where you God dwells yet you are here hiding your God and condemning other people's God. Too bad. Again I am proud to tell you that my God is in the Catholic faith. I beg tell me where your God is? |

ByfireByfire:Lmao. Idols? Say whatever you want but I'd always keep an open mind on most things, especially sensitive topics that have to do with other people. I'm in no position to judge or condemn. A point to note is the fact that every church has that one practice that the public will always condemn. Being religious or the lack of it is a personal thing. You guys keep slaughtering each other and keep giving atheists reasons to resent your religion all the more. This is just an opinion though. |

Avoidhellfire:only protestants who seems ignorant of what Christianity is all about make these emotional claims. Christianity as a religion began in d burial grounds, some women went to pay respect to a dead jew as was d jewish custom (by anionting his corpse) and found the corpse was nowhere to be found! That is how christianity began. When the authorities clamped down on d early xtians they all ran back into d burial grounds (read up on the catacombs), cities where homes could accommodate worshippers used homes while others used catacombs, when (a) christian(s) is killed his bones are gathered together and buried in d very place of worship, infact d altar in d place of worship were d graves of matyrs (it is funny that protestanism began after dat period nd now protestants claim to know every ancient xtian practice because they were given a book which doesnt even cover half of the early xtian practices). On d aniversary of d matyrs death they gather together around d grave of d matyr and ask for prayers. The early xtians believe dat when they worship heaven and earth came together to give God adoration, d remains of d dead were consider holy as they were d temples of d holyspirit (d u know d bones of a prophet worked a miracle in d bible?), d early xtians had no problems with images and d relics of matyrs. When xtianity was granted freedom d early xtians brought some of d relics into d new edifice and still buried their matyrs in their churches (moving d remains of great men is biblical). St peters basilica is built upon d remains of d apostle Peter. So yes, it is very posible to met d remains of a matyr in a catholic church infact, catholics are proud to have them like d earlx xtians were but it has nothing to do with paganism or occultism, anybody who know abt early xtianity will know d practice is distinctly Christian. Correction not only catholics have them, all ancient churches have them, d orthodox church have dem, d oriental church too and some anglican churches. It is a xtian practice 3 Likes |

Certainly very ignorant of early christian practices. Please see verses below for indication of relic use in the scriptures. Elijah's mantle (2 Kings 2:9-14) Elisha's bones (2 Kings 13:20-21) Paul's clothes (Acts 19:11-12) |

Empredboy: If you are proud to identify with Idolatory, you have no right to ask anyone any question bothering the Christian Religion. In fact you have no right to discuss Christianity. However you are so free to relate with Idol worshippers. Enjoy your idol worship delusion. |

ByfireByfire:Pride? oh honey, this has nothing to do with pride. Remember the topic of my post? it clearly shows I attend a Pentecostal church. My point, I respect them. And I won't be so quick to condemn their practices because I don't understand their history nor do I know their reasons. I'll give them the benefit of doubt. I love humanity as a whole, I appreciate and value people no matter how different they are. Perspectives and beliefs will always clash, so I try as much as possible not to claim that I'm always right. Lastly, I'm an atheist. |

Empredboy: Renounce and denounce the Roman Catholic Church and its Idolatory and repent, confess yours sins with resolve never to go back to them, recieve and accept Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. Live a life totally given to righteousness and obeying God according to his words in the Bible and not according to Catholic Church traditions. |

JustTara: How does a person claim to attend a Pentecostal church and suddenly Catholic is better and just when Catholic is exposed you are an atheist. To be frank you don't know where you belong. 1 Like |

ByfireByfire:I think you're getting yourself mixed up. Yes, I attend a Pentecostal Church, I do that whenever I'm in town as far as I'm under the roof of my parents. I never said the Catholics were better (I stand corrected, you may prove me wrong which I doubt sincerely ), I admire them, notice I didn't make mention of the preaching in my post. You guys claimed they worship statues and my defense was you guys should be more accommodating. I don't understand any of those stuffs, history and all. So I'm in no position to judge or condemn, only to try to understand. And I'm an atheist. I've always been. I still won't condemn any practice, it's not in our power to do so when we are all just an army of imperfect people. If Christianity is convincing enough to win me over, then cool. I still read the Bible and ask questions. So far, I'm not impressed. Not even in a mile's stretch, certainly not with the attitudes of churches towards each other. |

ByfireByfire:I think I will stop chatting with you since you can't introduce your church to me. Afterall Saul who became Paul was introduced to the apostles so as for him to know Christ more. Why can't you? Are u afraid? |
