If the new testament is a product of the catholic church, how come it speaks against most of their tradition. You can never see anyone worshipping Mary stature or praying with the help of rosaries. Nor do u hear trash about praying for a sinner after death.

Fadman4real:


ROM 1:25
Because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen

I cor 10:20-21
No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

Haven't you asked yourself, have you ever seen a stature of Moses before. Worshipping statures is a sin in the bible

Exodus 20:1 -10
And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, ...

Once again, I am shocked not only by your level intellectual vacuousness, but also by the fact that you are actually conscious of it, and hence your penchant for ignoring robust debates and arguments to settle for cheap pon shots.

You are actually an insecure and pitiful little hobble-de-hoy.

What ETs?
Are you drunk on idiocy, or something else ?

plaetton:


When exactly did we have this discussion about the history of Israel?

plaetton:


Lol.
You cannot find truth from that which you have already been programmed to believe on faith.
. Christian books will only tighten the yoke around your mind. They cannot ever give you any answers, but only reinforce things, myths, dogmas that your mind is already beholden to.

You yourself said it yesterday that every culture molds their God according to their cultural practices. Hindus create Hindu gods, arabs create arab god, ancient hebrews also molded their own tribal God, yahweh according their own likes and dislikes.
It is not surprising that their tribal deity, yahweh, would also hate the phillistines, israelites territorial enemies.
It had nothing to do with worshipping Baal and Ashoret, whom the same israelites held in great esteem and also worshipped.

You Need to know that biblical stories are not history, but a rehash of history from only the perspective of the Yahwehist cult of ancient israel.

KingEbukasBlog:

Woooooow

Since its all false as you claim , you must really know the true story of the history of Israel . Tell me about it

Young boy,did you take a selfie with your ET buddies?

KingEbukasBlog:


He posted it on Instagram , though it was taken down immediately after the US gov discovered . No need to conspicuously attract media or public attention

The ones you slipped and confessed to believing into.

Does this statement even make sense in English?

Now if you really want to talk about the belief or possibility of Extra Terrestrial life or civilizations, first start with a look at your Holy bible, which tells of a great war , which if true, would have been between opposing extraterrestrial armies.

If you believe in biblical angels, you already believe in ETs.
It is only a daft and intellectually vacuous half-thinker that would mock another for believing in ETs , while clutching tightly to the belief in heaven, host of angels and armies.

I challenge you to refute, or at least make a spirited attempt to refute any one or all the arguments I have put forward on this thread.

Insecure coward.
Pls try.

Your shame embarrasses me.

plaetton:


I am actually embarrassed for you.
Seriously.
I thought you had better cranial material than this.

You do a Usain Bolt when it comes to real debates and discussions.

I have carefully noticed that you never ever articulate any arguments, except for cut and past, or regurgitating whatever you read from websites.

You seem incapable on independent thought.

Now, for the records, I can never be ashamed of anything I post on Nairaland.

I know that some of my writings would be the equivalents of pearls before swine to you.

Fool,
What argument?

You have just described yourself.

What you should do is to try coherence. State your case, back it up and challenge me. Are you the fool who scattered when I challenged you to explain Origins? You also did a Houdini when challenged to explain your basis for morality. You are not worth my while and you should count yourself privileged enough to get my reply.

All you do is spam and troll threads and spew your wild,shallow and asinine crap and then get exasperated that no intelligent being gives a damn

Papist:

The Holy Rosary given to St Dominic is actually an adaptation of the daily recitation of the 150 psalms by the Catholic monks which was largely for the edification of the largely illiterate lay faithful of the time who obviously could not recite the psalms themselves. So Islamic right? Maybe you should do more research before posting ignorant articles.

Aizenosa:
Reading many of the posts on this thread, hmm, i really have to say that people believe what really suits them, anyway truth will always be truth, even the bible spoke of what the chief priest tried to do by bribing the solders to say that Jesus did not rise from the dead but instead His body was stolen by His disciples.

Truth will always be truth no matter how hard it's twisted.

plaetton:

Origins of what ?

The basis of morality? For how many millionth time ?

The issue of morality is probably the most debated topic on this section.
Am I expected to repeat myself each time a religiotard, who don't read, trips into this section?
If you had any comprehension skills, no doubt, you would have long understood my take on the basis of morality.

And again, asking or challenging someone to explain something to you is the idiot's method of intellectual debate.

Are you really asking to learn or just childish and desperate posturing?

It is either you make your own case, challenge others to repudiate it, or, you repudiate the arguments of others.

Your inability to articulate arguments exasperates you to the point of desperation, hence your juvenile antics.

OK Vooks,.
From now on, I am going to carry a big whip to whip that stuuupidity out of you.
You can thank me when you grow up.

I will follow and scrutinize every thread, every post of yours to expose your intellectual vacuity, and hopefully, help you grow some real brain cells.

Thank you.

A website is not a substitute for a real learning, unless you're among the cranially vacuous, the lazy hslf-thinkers, the vooks of Nairaland.

This story of the priest bribing the soldiers to say Jesus didn't rise from the dead is also made known to you through the catholic church

plaetton:


True.

So, now we know that Mother Church is a contrived fraud.

But are we smart enough to figure out and conclude that all her now dysfunctional children were therefore, also begotten of fraud, or are we going to go into cognitive dissonance mode, and try to prove that bible, compiled and canonized by the Catholic Church, is now much trueer than the Catholic Church ?

My point, my little thinking friend, is that if you indict the Mother Church, you indict the entire Church, the entire edifice of the Christian faith.

When "Christians" call the Catholic Church all sorts of evil names...

But the "evil" Catholic Church compiled the Holy Bible abi?

Abi the Bible is evil too?

The basis for morality is pretty simple. a normal organism will try it's best to further the progression of it's species.

that's why lions don't eat other lions
that's why wolves don't kill themselves.
that's why atheists don't need God to know what will further the well being of homo sapien.
