You are an ignorant hypocrite. So tell me have you not organised or attended children's or even adult parties that there are some costumed entities? So Your own local costume is darkness and the foreign ones light. Be enlightened. Africa is beautiful. And please tell me if you dont classify people going to the mosque as sinners why do you brand people going to a native doctor sinners. Same way we have good and evil pastors or imams is same way there are good and evil native doctors ok?

All native doctors serve idols. Idolaters(good/bad) will not enter the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9

This is the Bible. I don't expect you to just agree if you're an unbeliever. But if you're a Christian, you're negligent.

ignorance is bliss.
What is bad celebrating someone's cultural heritage? The white wedding you always attend, was it written in the bible?

It's not a crime to be ignorant but it is pure foolishness to display it publicly.

White wedding is not written in the Bible. It is called Marriage.

All cultures are paganistic practises. If you hold on to them, then you have not surrendered all to Christ.

If you are in Christ, you are a new creature, old things are past away and all things have become new. {1 Corinthians 5:17}

If I'm talking to an unbeliever, there's a high chance you won't respect the validity of the Bible scripture.

An ignorant fellow checkmating another 'supposed' ignorant fellow. How interesting.
Christianity post dates Christ, for its the brethren at Antioch who were first called Christians, for they were Christ-like.
Broh if you have a Bible, why not use it. And if you don't have one, then settle your quarell with google and ask her.

All the apostles of Jesus and Jesus himself are Hebrews, Israelites, ........AND THEY ARE THE FOUNDERS OF CHRISTIANITY.

olodo how exactly is masquerade evil? Is that what your stupid pastors taught you?

1) Masquerade use mask that portrays grotesque appearances which is only peculiar to demons.

2) Masquerades handle machetes and threaten/flog people which is not a Christ-like character.

3) Most masquerades use charms and powers to protect themselves. To be a strong masquerade, they must be fortified...and it is not with the name of Jesus.

My Pastor didn't teach me this. But I could discern it from Childhood because I read my Bible. And although the Bible does not mention masquerade. The nature of bible repels the nature/act of masquerading.

Was Jesus a Christian by religion
The disciples of Christ were first called Christians in Antioch.
Antioch is in Syria

Funny enough Christianity is not a religion but a lifestyle till the Westerners converted it to religion for political sake

Jesus believed in God. And claimed he is the Son of God. And whosoever that follow him, he gives eternal life. And the followers were called Christians. Jesus is the leader of Christianity.

Jesus and the apostles are the founders of Christianity. And they are Hebrews/Israelites, not Syrians. And it was born in Jerusalem, not syria. It was given a name in Syria.

Christianity is a religion forged from the roots of Judaism. Judaism reads the book of Moses. Christianity reads the Bible. And must follow what is written in it, if they are to enter the kingdom of God. 1 Timothy 5:21

God did not create any religion and i remember vividly the bible telling us to beware of the tradition of men (Religion) God only gave us a law and Jesus Christ came to fulfill that law and that law was all about loving and obeying God and also loving our neighbors wink Simple if we can keep this law then there is no need for any political religion

Then stay in your lane and continue wallowing in your ignorance and stop condemning masquerades and others beliefs. The fact you have been brainwashed to despise your culture and embrace foreign beliefs is enough folly.

And yet unbelievers are turning to Christ in their droves in our churches. this week alone my branch church has recorded more than 5 hundred New converts who will be in church tomorrow. I and my team spend all of today calling them to remind them of tomorrow's service.

You'd need to visit any Winner's Chapel anywhere close to you and watch out for how many people who will come out to be welcomed as New converts tomorrow.

No be to stay one places the make mouth.

The problem with you Hellenistic Catholics is that, you believe people are born Christians, sorry, we grow up to consciously choose or reject Christ. Christianity comes with Transformation and the renewing of the mind. How does a baby in the womb knows what transformation and mind renewal means?

See, Hellenistic Catholics feels comfortable in sin as though it's normal. That's why i priest will open his arms and embrace a masquerade. Will you blame him? No. For, as water answereth to the face, so the deep calleth to the deep.

There are false religions and true religion. Just as there are false prophets and true prophets. Religion is a set principle. You must follow the principle judiciously. That's why it is a religion.

The opposite of the true religion is lawlessness. 2 These 2:3

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."

There you have it, from one of the founding fathers of Christianity.

this is called hypocrisy, it was your type who condemned Jesus for eating with sinners,

you don't pursue human beings no matter how evil you think they are, you embrace them and show them love, that is the way to lead people to Christ no Puritanism

Jesus never blessed or blessed a worshiper of another god. There is no share between light and darkness. This are active false worshipers. Jesus dined with sinners, but these were sinners ready to amend there ways. His goal was to tell them to repent and go and sin no more. But these priest is not reported to have told them to repent and be determined not to worship idols. He not only embraced, but he blessed them. Much like a co-worker, not a message of repentance. Tomorrow he will preach against false worship. I dont know another word than hypocrisy for this act.

Jesus didn't come for the righteous like yourself and your fellows who think their right belief gives them the front row to self righteousness, hypocrisy and discrimination.

he came for the sinners, in fact most of them were not ready to amend their ways until they met Jesus and his compassion and love convinced them, I am proud of those bishops who could see that those people in mask were men for whom Jesus died and was courageous enough to show them love.


were you there? did you witness the incident so as to come to this premature conclusion that Christ was not preached, this is presumption and premature judgement, you saw masquerade been embraced and you immediately rushed to judge the bishops for showing love to people? I guess your Church teaches pharisaic Puritanism.

Jesus didn't come for the righteous it was exactly for those in darkness that he came and shame to any Christian who will refuse to show love to such because of pharisaic hypocrisy.
Re: Masquerade Receiving Blessings From Bishops by Ubenedictus(m): 12:42pm On Jun 22, 2018
the problem with bad education is that people feel they can use sweet sounding words to intimidate others in submission.
a hellenist is a person living in
Hellenistic times who was Greek in language,
outlook, and way of life but was not Greek in
ancestry, so an African like myself can't be a Hellenist I don't speak Greek, nor is my culture Greek.

and if you were scripturally sound you would realise that there is nothing that prevents a Hellenist from been a good Christian, in fact if you read Act 6 you will see that the Hellenist form a good chunk of the early Church and it was to settle their issues that the Church commissioned deacons.

Catholics don't believe that people are born Christian, that is a lie and you are bearing false witness against Catholics....

what the Bible and the Church teaches is that the decision of the parents have covenantal implications for the children so that according to 1 cor 7:14 the children are consecrated to God if a parent is Christian and according to acts the decision of the head of family is enough for the baptism of the household. Christianity is not individualistic it is communal.

See, Hellenistic Catholics feels comfortable in sin as though it's normal. That's why i priest will open his arms and embrace a masquerade. Will you blame him? No. For, as water answereth to the face, so the deep calleth to the deep.

good Catholics don't feel comfortable in sin and a priest is always happy to embrace a sinner no matter the sin, we ourselves have received forgiveness we will always go close to the sinner so our life of love will be a witness to him.


let the Pharisees start speaking, "see how can he be a Christian he embraces masquerade and blesses them they have the same father" just as they said of Christ "he is friends with sinners". what else is new.

Just like you rightly said, he came for the sinners, so as to do what to the sinners? So that he can embrace and bless there work as active sinners? Shey? Or to make them repent by telling them to abandoned their ways? If he did condemn there practice, why not quote the journal and make ur point. No counter opinion from the bishop either condemning or disclaiming the opinion of the newspaper. So I don't know why you are burning. Wanna keep backing d wrong horse?

there is no newspaper report there, just pictures, you are just making assumptions as usual, you were not there. you have absolutely no idea what happened, the op didn't say anything either. what opinion will the bishop give? that he blessed masquerade, Jesus like the Pharisees who accused Jesus of acquitting the woman caught in adultery.


talk of a wrong horse, it is called Pharisaic Puritanism.
