The Statue depicts What it represents. It's all about faith If one looks at it to be Satan, it becomes that to him If one takes it to depict Christ, then it is. Just like the Brozen serpent in book of exodus 2 Likes |

What pisses me off about Some ppl that claim to be Christians is that they really can't differentiate btw when they r corrected and when they r being judged. |

phrankchek:so u can swear that you've never seen any Catholic that bow down infront of these images?? |

NO! Jesus took human flesh to die for humans. He is now glorified above what any human depicts. |

It is funny that even with scientific and biblical evidence that continue to show otherwise that Jesus was not a white man, Africans have continued to perpetuate and adore the greatest lie in humanity of a white Jesus. I was disappointed to say the least when I saw the story of the largest statue of 'Jesus' built in Owerri. |

Finally people are starting to ask the right questions. Questions people like John Wesley and Martin Luther King asked. The picture that has been bandied around for centuries cannot be what Jesus looked like. He was a Jew, and jewish men do not wear long hair and neither do they have blue eyes or are they Caucasians. They are from the Asia minor and we all know what they look like there. What he looked like on earth should never even matter and no image of him should have ever been made. There is no account in the 66 books of the bible that an image of the Christian should be made. This is pure idolatry. Shikena |

Reno make sense o. Though I want to believe the statue is just a symbol like the one in Brazil. Left to me though, I would discourage the construction of any statue as there's a thing line between simlpe aesthetic appreciation and idolatry, especially if the piece of art in question has to do with the supposed images of the originators of world religions like Budha, Zoroaster, Jesus etc. I would've used to resources invested in this project to better the lot of the poor, the orphans, the widows etc. That is more rewarding. |

Catholicism is not the root of my church please(My church is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone according to Eph 2:20. The Foundation of the Apostles(New Testament and Prophets(Old Testament) simply refers to the Bible which was written by Apostles and Prophets with Jesus being the central theme or cornerstone. Moreso, please know that Christ didn't build his church on Peter. When He said on this Rock I'll build my church(Matt 16:18), he was referring to the revelation Peter brought that Jesus is the Christ, the church is built on that revelation not on a human being. I don't have time to argue but may God open your eyes JayB11: |

Do we need any image to worship Jesus? Catholics have gone astray in so many ways especially in the area of making and chanting before questionable images. |

Those who have left this world have no power to intercede on your behalf; only Jesus Christ. My pastor is alive and the bible clearly says that we the earthly body of Christ should pray (in the name of Jesus) with and for each other. You be the judge. phrankchek: |

2000logos:what are you insinuating? why must you use muslims as an example? are you implying that muslims are a damned creeD that shouldn't make heaven before your idol worshipping 'catholic' brothers? if there is anything i admire about islam, it is their apathy/DISLIKE towards reverence of statues (be it that of allah himself) |

Re: Is That Really Jesus? By Reno Omokri by FEROH: 7:55am On Jan 04, 2016 |
Even if that is idolatry, how is that your business? Who made you a judge among men? Is it not the same bible that says you shouldn't judge so that you wouldn't be judged in that same measure? Mr. Obinna though I don't know him will spend his money any how he wants and its not your business. Wait o lemme ask these people that talks about feeding the poor, how many poor people have you fed? Why would you only remember to feed the poor from another man's pocket? People why not mind your own business and stop judging others? |
Re: Is That Really Jesus? By Reno Omokri by wtfCode: 8:11am On Jan 04, 2016 |
catholics are nothing but pagans, idol worshippers!
And they're so blinded to see that.
Whenever i see a catholic, i see a muslim. |

I am a catholic but I can categorically tell you that statue is not Jesus Christ. |
Re: Is That Really Jesus? By Reno Omokri by Mpanyi: 8:42am On Jan 04, 2016 |
glamz007:I knew defeated about images itself, you people would shift to bowing to the images. After you must have been defeated in that you will shift to something else. Please tell us who the Israelites bow to before the tent/the ark. And I'm sure you have not bowed to anybody in your life. Many things to educate you on but no time. |
Re: Is That Really Jesus? By Reno Omokri by Nobody: 8:42am On Jan 04, 2016 |
This effeminate, feeble looking, long blonde haired
Adonis figure that is passed off as Jesus is not Him. This description got me laughing real hard. |
Re: Is That Really Jesus? By Reno Omokri by Holak: 8:44am On Jan 04, 2016 |
Too much hullabaloo about Catholics and images. We may never reach a conclusion but one thing is that there is so much hipocrisy in Nigeria especially among pentecostals (sorry to say this). When you go through this post and see uncomplimentary remarks about other faiths, you begin to wonder whether people who do this are actually doing God's bidding. They have become God to condemn the Catholic church, they have judged all the catholics and proclaimed them damned. There will always be arguments about the finite details of religion and both sides will have proof to back up their argument as has been laid down here. It goes to show that even God may eventually not be interested in those finite details. God will not condemn all the Catholics because they erect images or will sanction all pentecostals because they do not. Even among the pentecostals, do they hold the same belief in all practices? The answer is no. Which is even why there are numerous ministries and churches within the pentecostal domain. But talk about the Catholics, everybody jumps out to condemn and declare them idol worshippers. Those who do this have very limited knowledge of the Catholic church and the people therein, they may have just read a few chapters of the Bible and feel they are qualified to condemn the Catholic church. These people do not manifest any fruit of the spirit in their life or could be recognized as Christians wherever they are but they are righteous simply because they attend a pentecostal church. They are still the people taking bribes in the office, having concubines, telling lies to deceive the public but the erection of a statue to them is the most important yardstick for judging a religion. I believe that if we can preach love above all things which was Christ's message, the different practices (which all religions are guilty of) become less important. Love will ensure that we treat people fairly. It will ensure that people don't embezzle public fund meant for everybody. It will ensure people don't kill, defraud or steal from one another. It will ensure the society behaves the way God plans for it and I believe that was the essence that Christ died for. |

franklingud: You're not a catholic. Or you are just a nominal catholic. Whether it is actual image of Christ or not, it still remains image. It still reminds every man of Christ, even SHOUTING it. And anything ascribed to Christ must be respected. |
