juman: Freehand you said? When their priestley calling made them take vows of obedience and poverty? I think the church in the east need a bit of re-orientation. The same behaviour made the priests and people of Mbaise reject a bishop appointed for them by the vatican. |

Mpanyi: A baby is not qualified for baptism whether you want to believe it or not. Jesus Christ was baptized as a man. And never baptized any baby. The apostles never baptized any baby. .....Baptism is the begin of your Christian journey ....you need to accept Christ for yourself and not by proxy. Every building requires a foundation. You need a personal conviction of what you are about to do before you do it ........you walk into a river or pool with your legs and be baptized. ...... the Bible says unless a man be born , in this context , it is so wing about maturity. 2 Likes |

juman: The censor being discussed is majorly around finance.....did he close his adoration ministry? Does he remit his money to the larger Catholic Church and the school he is said to be building in his area of Enugu state , is it answerable to the Catholic Church? 1 Like |

tete7000: You are right. They took the vows of obedience and poverty, but their activities are for the progress of their mission. Look, his activities propagate his believe. For example I knew so little about catholicism before but when his name was mentioned many times in the news, I tried to know more about the catholicism in south east and nigeria. |

brostheo:That's a layman argument, have you checked the baptist? Not saying this cos am a baptist or watever but not all the yoruba's are in support of penetcostal churches. Have asked myself this question too that why are there no much baptist in the eastern part of the country? But I got my answer through history. Just check the history of catholic and anglican, it came into nigeria soil through the east, onishta particular and spread through the eastern side. Same thing applicable to baptist, baptist dominated the southwest cos it started from ogun. Just like the north too, islam was the first religion to hit the place in the 4thcentury. Now to the pentecostal churches you talked about, though their G.O and pastors are yorubas, but do you notice that most of their members are igbos. Am very sure of this cos last week I attended TTC in gwaripa, today I attended COZA in close to national stadium. Believe me it was flood with igbos. 3 Likes |

Nodogragra4me: 'Men are indeed chewing the words' My friend go back and read what I posted again. Read it very carefully or better still chew it. Then after that go and read 1 Corinthians14. Read it slowly not quickly so that you will understand it very well. Catholic Church has not in any way condemned speaking in tongues, or made it compulsory that everyone should speak in tongues. Because no passages of the Bible stated that every Christians MUST speak in tongue. Talking about infant baptism, if you read my post very well, you will understand that Catholic church did not said that you MUST baptise at infant. She only encourages it. If you chew what I wrote, you will see the reason why she encourages it. Also Christ’s law applies to infants as well as adults, for Jesus said that no one can enter heaven unless he has been born again of water and the Holy Spirit (John 3:5). His words can be taken to apply to anyone capable of belonging to his kingdom. He asserted such even for children: "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 19:14). Talking about questioning Catholic doctrines, you're the one that need to question the doctrines of your pastors. An individual can't just come and impose his personal views or his understanding of the Bible on me. Catholic Church is an institution instituted by Christ not a personal church. 4 Likes |

This signs shall follow them that believe .....if you believe that will be your identity ......he didn't not say it through the apostle or in an espitle to any city but he said it himself that these signs shall follow them that believe .....you know pass Jesus or what ......he said these signs .... If the signs are not following you it is because you don't believe .....Jesus said so not me ....read am abeg ...na Mark 16:17 He said children and not babies should come and not be carried to him abi that is not what is written in your bible. |

He asserted such even for children: "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 19:14). More detail is given in Luke’s account of this event, which reads: "Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, ‘Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God’" (Luke 18:15–16). Going by your ideology, children or babies shouldn't be taken to the church. Also Women are not to be included too. Since according you the Bible says "unless a MAN is born again...," This is how you guys keeps misleading people around. 1 Like |

I don't know your location but there are many Yoruba Catholics in Osun, Ondo ,Ekiti and some parts of Ibadan. There are also very many Catholic Priests from the tribe. The fact that there are more of the Igbo tribe in the Church does not mean there are few Yoruba's there. |

Nodogragra4me: People interpreting bible to suit them. When bible says man begins to die after disobeying God, I hope that does not include children too. . Talking about conviction, why do you take your kids to church even when they are small without conviction. Even Jewish kids were presented in the temple, as a sign of initiation into Hewish tradition. Baptism is for all dear. Even if it's for formality as Christ's own is. For the apostles not baptizing kids, you don't have the power to know that, even though Peter must have baptized the converts whole family, including children. You don't have the power to know because you're not part of the unbroken apostolic succession as alluded to earlier. 3 Likes |

Nodogragra4me: On Mark 16:17, My problem with guys is that you only read passages of the Bible that suits your ideology. Again I'm begging you go and study 1Corinthians 14, please the whole of the chapter 14. Except if Corinthians is not part of your Bible. 1 Corinthians 14:22 says: 'So then, the gift of speaking in strange tongues is proof for unbelievers, not for believers, while the gift of proclaiming God's message is proof for believers, not for unbelievers.' Even Christ said that he came for the sinners so that they will be saved. All the signs and wonders performed by Christ is for the unbelievers to see and believe in him and God who sent him. AGAIN STUDY 1CORINTHIANS 14 PLEASE. On your last point about children: GNT and NIV Lk18:15 used the word "some people brought their babies....." While KJV used the word" And they brought unto him also infants..." O'boy study your Bible and understand it. Bible is to be studied "letter by letter, line by line, lesson by lesson." 3 Likes |
