Eating of meat on good Friday,is not a sin
In d olden days,they abstain from meat cos it was expensive to afford but these days every single family both d rich n d poor can afford to buy meat,so d church in her wisdom decided that on good Friday, Catholics should abstain from there favorite meal in other to observe good Friday

So what would they say about those eating meat during dis period??

OpenYourEyes1:
This alone should guide all Christians

Why do you go to church on Sunday instamead of Sabbath day as stated in the bible?

No such thing as mother church. No church in heaven. One lord, one faith, one baptism.

Elvis778:

na wetin me still dey wonder oo,
these guys thinks everything is in the Bible.
The popes only compiled the most important holy books around 500AD, and called it THE BIBLE.
They know more than we do cuz they have more scripts of which they didn't add to the Bible

You're correct. That's why they're able to deceive so many people today.

Lordofthewest:
Oh please...you pray to holy Mary when the Bible makes it clear you shouldn't worship images and access God through the holy spirit and in the name of Jesus

Lols.....I dnt really get the grievances u guys have with our relationship to Holy Mary. Lemme explain.....itz jus like wen u wanna get a job or something and u start looking for connection,someone to work it for u or intercede for you,that is how it works..Our relationship is intercessory and trust me she is the greatest intercessor there is and we honour her..c'mon she is the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ...can u fault that because even mere men answer honourable

In the past meat was seen as a worthy sacrifice as it was linked with feasts and celebrations.

In ancient cultures meat was seen as a delicacy and "the fattened calf" wasn't slaughtered unless there was something to celebrate.

Fridays were seen as a day of penance so eating meat on a Friday to "celebrate" the death of Jesus didn't sit well with the Church.

crunchyg:

Everything created by God is good to be eaten at any time, any day or any day by people who are serving God in spirit and in truth but you can keep that command if you are still leaving in the flesh

So why do you fast?

emmykk:


The meat that you should not eat is not actually restricted to the goat or cow or fowl flesh but anything that gives you joy and that you can't do without on a normal day is your meat eg beer,women,games ,outing, shopping.


As for is it in the bible?the bible was written by the Catholic chruch in phase for hundreds of years.


Stop saying or asking whether xyz is in the bible, before you obey it .That is the devil speaking through you.

This lie has continued because you lots have never opened your bibles before! You mean the book of genesis, exodus, leviticus, numbers and deutronomy that was written by moses was written by Catholics? Or the psalms of David by David himself? Or the book of Joshua? Matthew wrote the first book in the new testament..mark, luke and John also wrote theirs...Paul wrote letters to those in colossus, philipi, thesalonica, ephesus..John wrote the revelation...pray tell! Which of them was a Roman Catholic devotee? Bloody ignorant liars!

It's a form of discipline like fasting and abstinence practiced seasonally.

sexyking1:

Because in that same Bible after the ascension of Christ and the coming down of the Holy Spirit, non Jewish converts in Asia Minor met on the first day of the week..which is Sunday..don't take my word for it, read Acts 20:7.

OpenYourEyes1:

Then you make Christianity a religion of the book. Christianity is about Jesus and not just about a book. Go and study well, the organised book we call Bible now wasn't ther
e in the time of the apostles

And I ask again: do you eat vulture? Give me a yes or no answer and not passages.

crunchyg:

Vulture is not different from other meats that people eat, that you don't eat it doesn't mean there are not people that eat it in other countries, the way there are people that eat monkey meat, snake, dog etc. Read my post well and you will see that the fasting part you ask doesn't relate to what I said

Lordofthewest:
I still do not see how catholics are different from orumila or sango idol worshipers, most of their doctrines are clear idolatry contradicting the Bible.

It's because you have been fed lies all along. Have you taken time to ask reasonable questions from the Church itself and not what one child of hate spewed?

jayson87:
thats what religion makes people do... stupid things, waiting for one catholic to come justify this, tell me how goat blood translates to the blood of jesus

Shows you are totally ignorant of what religion is in the first place

OpenYourEyes1:

if you are a pentecostal Christian and bringing the bible as ur defense tool against the originator of the complete bible itself, then you will have a flawed argument. You have in good authority an incomplete book and as such incomplete knowledge of the faith you even practice. Non of your Daddy GOs castigate the Catholic Church because they know where they all originated from, and the scam (personal doctrine) they propagate.

Prove it.

Lent was instituted by nimrod's (or baal's) mother semiramis(or Ishtar). It was designated a forty day period to mark the anniversary of Tammuz's death... Tammuz was killed by wild pig.
Eating of meat was avoided in order to mourn his death

Every year topic

donsheddy1:

Well, the truth actually is,
the Bible we all know today will ensure we remain devoted Christians.
If they should release the whole holy books, we all might drop religion totally.
That's what happens when you know more than you can contain.

Wtf is a mother church??
What of father church.

jayson87:

It has nothing to do with goat blood transfusion.
We avoid meat today in honor and commemoration of the death of Christ 2000 years ago.

Given that Christ died today, the Church observes today as a sad day and goes further to make every member feel the impact by encouraging them to avoid meat today.

While it's not written in the Bible, it's one of those key steps the Church uses to draw her members closer to God.

crunchyg:

Everything created by God is good to be eaten at any time, any day or any day by people who are serving God in spirit and in truth but you can keep that command if you are still leaving in the flesh

This has nothing to do with the flesh. Even Jesus himself fasted for 40 days. Fasting and abstinence is a key part of the Christian experience

Use your sense, lent was never instituted by baal worshippers, even if it was, hope you know Christians wanted to kill off the whole idol celebration, thereby replacing "THE BIRTH OF SON GOD" OF 25TH December with "THE BIRTH OF THE SON OF GOD" same date.
This is how they also replaced the supposed lent of the baals with that of Christians (lent is a Latin word which means a period of mourning, and that's why they never changed the name. take note).
For the meat part, i already said it, meat is a sign of celebration during the acient days, and as we all know, it is mockery to celebrate on the day we all mourn for the death of Christ hence no meat. Stop making comments on what you don't understand.

I am a staunch Catholic. During the early days, the people were asked to fast on what they loved to eat.It was a command by God.So,in those days,meat was the people's favourite dish.They fasted without meat and the doctrine continued to our present generation.

Exactly. There are other books that were recently added to the Bible. They are called the deuterocanonical books. Google it.
I'd the catholic church decided to compile all the books it has stored in the library over ages, the Bible will be so voluminous.

what he is trying to tell you is that the Bible is an incomplete book, we have hundreds of books in the Vatican, kept out of the public.
If these books are released to mere humans like us, i bet you, you would drop Religion the next minute,
the Popes compiled the set of books of which they know would ensure we remain devoted Christians. Some of the catholic doctrines you see today are in other books of which are kept out of the public, They know more than we do, they see this world from a different dimension.

What do you mean by the statement in bold?

ExAngel007:
I have been wondering why Catholics don't eat meat on Good Friday.

What's it significant? Are there any curses or consequences if one disobey?

why do they eat fish instead of meat?

Where and when did the Bible says we shouldn't eat meat on Fridays

Change your topic because it is misleading. Many Catholics eat meat and fish even on good Friday
