The catholic church was seen as the universal church at the time saint Valentine lived. There was no Protestants at that time talkless of pentecostals, therefore saint valentine was saint of the universal church, which includes all churches, be it catholic, Protestants or pentecostals

but there was Pentecostal and protestants during the time of Mary and other saints? please explain

This is one of the reasons I'm convinced Christianity is false and Holy Spirit is fictional cuz Christians can't agree on anything despite talking to the same holy spirit who is promised that it'll reveal the real truth to them

From the very beginning, Christians have split and diverged and disagreed about matters of extreme consequence, and matters that seem (on the face of it) totally trivial. For close to 1,500 years the chief hobby of Christendom seemed to be finding reasons to murder other Christians, and to this day thousands of Christian variations exist, many of which are utterly incompatible and "heretical" to each other's point of view. From Arianism to "Mariolotry", from thefilioque, to anti-trinitarian Oneness Pentecostalism, from hardline Feeneyism to Christian Universalism, from Quietism to televangelists ... any doctrinal standpoint held by one Christian group is guaranteed to be held in contempt by other (ostensibly) fellow Christians.

Yet every last one of them bows their knees before the Father, every last one of them believes that Christ dwells in their hearts and that they are strengthened by the power of this Spirit. Every last one of them"knows" that they are correct and everyone else is wrong. They alone are "filled up by the fullness of God." They can "feel it in their hearts".

"By their fruits you will know them," wrote the unknown author(s) of the book we call Matthew, and those words are quite right. The fruits of Christianity have always been discord among themselves, dehumanization of others and mutual persecution over whatever passes for heresy at that time and place. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit" applies wonderfully to Christianity. By that very standard, the tree of Christianity is rotten to the core and more prickly than a cactus. It is evident and obvious that there is no "still, small voice" guiding Christians, that the Bible is wrong when it promises to reveal the truth to believers ... because regardless of one's belief, there are millions upon millions of other Christians who are convinced of that belief's incorrectness, convinced that the Holy Spirit has lit their path to truth (and likely think said "heretics" deserve eternal punishment to boot despite the fact that they are all supplicants to the same Lord).

YOU DON'T FIND OTHER RELIGIONS BEATING EACH OTHER UP LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW WHY?


CHRISTIANITY IS THE MOST CONTRADICTORY RELIGION.

HOW CAN YOU BLAME THE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION FOR NOT AGREEING ON A THING TOGETHER, WHEN EVEN THE GOSPEL WRITERS COULDN'T AGREE ON THE STORY OF JESUS.

ALL OF THEM HAVE CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS FOR THAT. FUNNY ENOUGH LUKE ALONE CONTRADICTS HIS OWN SELF WITH DISAGREEING STATEMENTS IN HIS BOOK, JUST FEW VERSES APART


ABEG JUST LEAVE CHRISTIANS ALONE WHEN THEY'RE NOT SPEWING THEIR POISON ON YOUR FACE.

A typical Nigerian non Catholic who is drained with his or her own church doctrine will wear red tomorrow and majestically walk into her or his lover's house to wish him happy valentines day.

But every other thing about the catholic doctrine is paganized by you and your church folks.

Y'all have suddenly forgotten that Valentine is a saint In the catholic world that is usually celebrated every 14th of February, just like other catholic saints.

But tomorrow you will come online and tell us how Catholics worship Mary, you get angry when she is being celebrated. But Tomorrow, you will be buying gifts in the name of valentine.

All the Pentecostal churches that bash the catholic doctrines and saints are the ones who will even celebrate the valentine the most.

But there you are, saying you know so much about Christianity.

Now, tell me that saint valentine is a saint in your own church, I am listening, how?

MrMcJay:


Valentine's day is all about love.
You said pentecostals celebrate Valentine's day the most.
Going by your analogy, pentecostals celebrate love more than Catholics.

That's why you should think very well before writing online to avoid disgracing yourself.

myproperty:

I thought the catholics don't bash pentecostal? A typical catholic way of reasoning never to discuss biblical issues but catholic traditions. Probably traditions are higher than the "word"

osomegbe:

There was non. They both started long after Mary. Don't confuse things. We should be seen winning the unsaved. Present Valentine's celebration was not the intentions of saint Valentine. Se-x everywhere, beer parlour drinking, orgies parties etc. Let's be truthful to ourselves, we Christians are to blame. We take things too light. The people that will really go to the helpless will be less than 0.0001 %. What a turn around of what the day should stand for.

Empredboy:

osomegbe:

Show me where in the bible dead saints pray for the living?.

Empredboy:
which love do you celebrate? what do u know about St Valentine? let me remind you he was like other saints like like St Louis. why don't you celebrate St Anthony of padua or St Peter? these saints are the pillars of the church but you guys are accusing the church of idolatry yet you remember 14 feb of every year. why not remember August 8 the feast of St Dominic?

dingbang:
what's this mofo saying.. Please get your horrible mind out of my mentions

GIBT:
Do Pentecostals now believe in sainthood?

raymexx:
you are shifting the goal post. we are talking about people celebrating the same thing they criticize. you mock Catholic doctrine but you still participate in what was made to be through the same doctrine. is that not hypocrisy?

buhariguy:
did the Bible emphasized the worship of mary?

Empredboy:
but there was Pentecostal and protestants during the time of Mary and other saints? please explain

MrMcJay:


I guess the meaning of my post flew over your head.

According to the unintelligent post by the OP, protestant celebrate Valentine's day more than Catholics. I don't know how he came about that drunken assertion.

As to all the saints you're celebrating, that's your religious belief. I don't have problems with them. If you like celebrate the birthday of Judas Iscariot, once it makes you happy, that's fine by me.
