Good news. Let the veil of organized religion keep on falling off the eyes of the minions. So that more and more people will come to see organized religion for what it really is: MIND CONTROL and TOTAL FALLACY. |

Ubenedictus:Cos he was called "bishop" that now meant he was catholic? hope we both know the title is pre constantine and simply means 'a preaching elder'?? I'l modify soon.. Modified He was a direct convert of Apostle John and had access to the early parts of the NT through Polycarp. The Apostles had OT copies(jew families and clans were known to always have copies), and used the Gospels and lateron got letters of Paul thru Timothy, Luke (OT till book of Hebrews) and cos he had direct acess, he won most arguments against liars of his days. the rcc now Came to claim him as theirs when the doctrines he believed was alien to theirs?! what a confusion!! Even the catholic church's origin has been shifted 3ice to make up for lost puzzle pieces.(but thats not my aim) my aim is the jews gave us! |

Penalty82: no nothing is by force the fact that he wanted to leave shows he shouldn't have joined in the first place. some people are actually pressurized into becoming priests by their families when they can't handle it. priesthood isn't compulsory |
Re: Father Gospel Inalegwu Resigns From Priesthood by Nobody: 8:51pm On Oct 22, 2017 |
Gggg102: Then, they should not stop them from leaving. Even Jesus did not force his apostles to remain with him. In fact after 3 yrs, when all Jesus disciples left remaining only the 12 Apostles, he asked them if they also want to leave. It is not a cult. If you said if they know they will leave they shouldn't have joined priesthood , then, you are turning it to cult & making the oath of priesthood a secret society oath which it is not. |

daveP: it seems you are very ignorant of irenaeus, yes he was a convert and a disciple of John but irenaeus left several writing so we know what he believed and what the church in his time believed. enjoy For they were desirous that these men should be very perfect and blameless in all things, whom also they were leaving behind as their successors, delivering up their own place of government to these men; which men, if they discharged their functions honestly, would be a great boon [to the Church ], but if they should fall away, the direst calamity. 2. Since, however, it would be very tedious, in such a volume as this, to reckon up the successions of all the Churches, we do put to confusion all those who, in whatever manner, whether by an evil self-pleasing, by vainglory, or by blindness and perverse opinion, assemble in unauthorized meetings; [we do this, I say,] by [b] indicating that tradition derived from the apostles , of the very great, the very ancient, and universally known Church founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul ; as also [by pointing out] the faith preached to men , which comes down to our time by means of the successions of the bishops. For it is a matter of necessity that every Church should agree with this Church , on account of its preeminent authority, that is, the faithful everywhere, inasmuch as the tradition has been preserved continuously by those [faithful men] who exist everywhere. 3. The blessed apostles , then, having founded and built up the Church , committed into the hands of Linus the office of the episcopate . Of this Linus, Paul makes mention in the Epistles to Timothy. To him succeeded Anacletus; and after him, in the third place from the apostles , Clement was allotted the bishopric . This man, as he had seen the blessed apostles , and had been conversant with them, might be said to have the preaching of the apostles still echoing [in his ears], and their traditions before his eyes. Nor was he alone [in this], for there were many still remaining who had received instructions from the apostles. In the time of this Clement, no small dissension having occurred among the brethren at Corinth , the Church in Rome dispatched a most powerful letter to the Corinthians, exhorting them to peace, renewing their faith, and declaring the tradition which it had lately received from the apostles , proclaiming the one God, omnipotent , the Maker of heaven and earth, the Creator of man , who brought on the deluge, and called Abraham , who led the people from the land of Egypt , spoke with Moses, set forth the law, sent the prophets, and who has prepared fire for the devil and his angels . From this document, whosoever chooses to do so, may learn that He, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , was preached by the Churches, and may also understand the tradition of the Church , since this Epistle is of older date than these men who are now propagating falsehood , and who conjure into existence another god beyond the Creator and the Maker of all existing things. To this Clement there succeeded Evaristus. Alexander followed Evaristus; then, sixth from the apostles , Sixtus was appointed; after him, Telephorus, who was gloriously martyred; then Hyginus ; after him, Pius ; then after him, Anicetus . Soter having succeeded Anicetus , Eleutherius does now, in the twelfth place from the apostles , hold the inheritance of the episcopate . In this order, and by this succession, the ecclesiastical tradition from the apostles, and the preaching of the truth , have come down to us. And this is most abundant proof that there is one and the same vivifying faith, which has been preserved in the Church from the apostles until now, and handed down in truth AH 3:2,3 that is ireneaus writing against heretical sects and he said every church must agree with the Roman church as she has preeminent authority. he named all the popes from peter to the one still living. please tell me he isn't a Catholic.

Penalty82:It is not a must to be a priest. It doesn't give you a guarantee to make heaven. That's the reason why holy matrimony (marriage) is a sacrament. If holy orders (the sacrament that confers priesthood) isn't your calling, why not get married? Don't you know that the church preaches that marriage is just as holy a vacation as the priesthood? See St Paul's teaching about the advantages of celibacy in 1 Corinthians. Our Lord Jesus Christ was also celibate (to the best of our knowledge). It is a question of choice & sacrifice & the fact is not everyone is capable of paying that price. Is one willing to sacrifice his desires for the good of kingdom? St Paul cooperated with the grace of God to put his body under & bring it into submission & look at the fruit of that. His work in the Lord's Vineyard was so powerful that he was named an apostle even though he wasn't a physical witness to the earthly ministry of our Lord. Look at His missionary journeys. Because of his sacrifice, the Gospel was better spread widely among the gentiles. The fact that we are all humans & sometimes juggling the ministry & family life is almost impossible sometimes. It can come to an ultimatum many a times to choose 1 to the detriment of the other. If you know you can't be celibate, marry & be a laity member. You can serve God that way. You mustn't be a priest to serve God. You can serve God in your family, workplaces & the wider society. That's why I love the teachings of St Jose Maria escriva the pioneer of opus Dei. |

daveP:So if RCCG moves their headquarters from ebute metta elsewhere, they have stopped being RCCG. Does that invalidate the late pa akindayomi as their founder? Constantine might have playing a role in institutionalising the church but that doesn't mean it didn't exist before him. There was a church before the Nicene council. The council didn't found a new church. It was just a forum to streamline doctrines & do away with teachings that were not compatible. |

Yes I agree with you but you should note that over 90% of catholic priests made the decision as teenagers which was influenced by their parents. I attended seminary school, I wanted to be a catholic priest but my father said no. Will I still want to be a priest today? the answer is no. I have classmates that are priests, when we talk as childhood friends they will open up to you that it is not easy. Gggg102: |
