OLAADEGBU: How do you read? I said that it is a tragedy beyond words that many Catholics don't know that they need to be born again so as to enter heaven. I didn't even say all of them, I said many.

I still dont know why some people like being the mouth piece of members of the catholic church... Do you guys have fun in just saying things about the catholic church without any proof or trying to understand it from the catholic perspectuve.

Happy Solemnity of Epiphany to you all... May the light of our Lord Jesus Christ shine in us always...

St Thomas Aquinas... Patron Saint of theologians/academics.... I seek for you intercession so that I will be able to summarize all what Frosbel wrote up here...

You need to cool down and stay focused on ensuring that you dont make unneccesary misyake as you prepare to get married... Dont forget to invite us.

vickyO: It's all good..

Thank you, Mr. Aladin, Damerry and Rich4God for your contributions..

I never intended to argue, I only wanted to make bluerange understand what we protestant believe.

Since protestants aren't welcome and the title of the thread perfectly says so, then I choose to leave you in the peaceful state I met you all.

I've enjoyed being here.

If you are leaving, note that you are leaving on your own decision not because we are chasing you away. We are only trying to keep the culture of "no arguement" on this thread. The only thing we entertain is question. If you have any question about the catholic faith, you drop it here then we try to provide answer, if you are not cleared, we still try to explain without creating a room for arguement(by imposing your own belief or showing why we are wrong)... So just like syncan said... No arguement here. Thanks.

vickyO: Another reason I chose to follow this thread is to learn more about your doctrines and know you guys more.
I still don't believe it's necessary to do all you all do but I choose to remain silent about my opinions cause I've realised arguments lead nowhere most times.
But I can't remain quiet when someone has a mistakened notion about some biblical truths.
If you feel I intruded your thread by airing my view the way I did, then I apologize.

My dear Vicky... No one is chasing you away from this thread, just that we dont want it to be filled with arguement, counter-arguements and mis-understanding. Similar situation has happened here with Enigma(if am not mistaken, and its not been easy trying to handle the situation.)... Just like Syncan said to you... You wouldnt want to shift ground neither will he(we) and this will lead to more arguements. This is what we(he) is trying to avoid by telling you to open another thread on the issue.

Syncan: St. Monica fasted for her son, that is penance. Cure de ars wore a hair shirt for sinners, that is penance. The monks sleep on bare wood, that is penance. Except I am missing something, even prayers can be penance.

Just like I said earlier... Perfoming penance for an unrepentant person is like pouring water onto a rock... You can only pray for the person to repent, cos no matter the amount of penance you perform, if the person died a sinner, then you have achieved nothing. Yes, the monk perform penance to on behalf of so many sinners, but it will only be applicable if the person repents. Thats why penance is given after you must have confessed your sins.

[quote author=Sen.tempest][s]i dnt Kw if God wil everly accept me back as his daughter[/s], well yes i try to get pregnant but notin happend, we are medicaly ok jst dat each time i see my friends almost all of them pregnant both married and unmarried it bothers me alot! I ve prayed, fast, say my rosary, make vow, stil no change. Please help me to know where i ve disobey the lord so i can ask 4 forgivnes of sin so dat my prayers wil b acceptable to him and to make heaven atlast[/quote]You shouldnt say that, God accepts even the worst sinner, so long your are truly sorry for your sin and you are making effort not to go back sinning. My advice is, dont loose hope... and always trust in God. And most importantly, do not let the situation overwhelm you, cos you may end up doing some crazy stuff. Be careful dear... will put you in prayers.

[quote author=Sen.tempest]Please my fellow catholics in nairalander plz help a sister.
I ve being dating this guy 4 2+yrs, he is d only child, no parents(both died) now he wants to marry me both no sign of pregnancy 4 2+years dat we dated now im scared to marry him but i truly love him so much( i kw is a sin to slept wit a man dat is not married to U, dnt crucify me 4 dat, pardon me) i need advice,prayers, please so confused![/quote]You shouldnt be scared, cos anything can happen in life, you are not the first woman not to get pregnant at the time you are expecting it, neither will you be the last. At the bolded... Does he love you just as you love him...? And have you tried asking him if he is willing to accept you as his wife even if at the long run you didnt get pregnant for him.(though, not praying for that)..

Syncan: hmm, You may want to tell St. Monica that...she almost gave up her life to get her "unrepentant" son to conversion. You may want to tell St. theresa of the child Jesus that...she did penance till an unrepentant thief kissed the crucifix in contrition before he was hanged. You may want to tell the monks and nuns, they still suffer for this "unrepentant" world. You never know when repentance will occur, it is good to continue every good work.

You are getting it wrong... St Monica was praying for the conversion of Augustine and not penance... So are the other saints you mentioned. Praying for some one to repent is totaly different from making penance on behalf of someone. That is why even you yourself, you cannot do/make penenace of any form except you have repented and your are truely sorry for your sins.

LWKMD... This thread seems like its pulled out from the joke section. Funny replies.

Is these the new trend... Every MOG now making prophesy... I think its time I make mine... I see Nigeria becoming a super nation sooner than expected and contrary to all these so called prophesy by MOG's, I see 2014 as the most peaceful year in Nigerian history. And before I forget, I see myself acheiving my dream/potentials this 2014.... Prophesized by Rev. Dr. Prophet Rich4God.

Na only bad thing dem dey predict... SSS should keep an eye on these guys, just incase they decide to carry out the disaster themsevles so as to make their prophesy come to pass.

This just sound funny to me... He should have said something meaninful and reasonable like other MOG used to do. So wearing blue is going to hinder the progress of the team... How about Italy, France, Brazil, all have blue on their jersey and they have each won the world cup. Its only in Nigeria that you hear such things.

Sal C: Can one do penance for another person's sake?

Yes you can... But doing it for an unrepentant person is like pouring water on a rock... Its best you jst pray for the person.

This one wey all of una dey here... Just passing by...

Finally... Me and Airtel don settle... Never give up on your right, no matter how insignificant it seem to be. Now who I wan use this credit call. First make I call Mumsi...

Without checking the net for expo... List the complete vestment of a bishop and explain the significance/meaning of each of them...? Have fun.

This is what I did with html... Help me assess it. Forget about the content, just check the color and the layout.

[s]Happy new year fellow nairalander... I want to know the possibility of sueing airtel for selling an unavailable voucher to me. I have contacted my lawyer friend and he said i should hold on till 13th when he will be resuming for the year for proper talk. But I want to know what you guys have to say about. Even though the voucher is small(N500) i feel I shouldnt let it go due to the way the customer agent are treating the case. The keep posting me and giving contradictory excuses as if i have nothing to do with the voucher. Thanks.[/s]

@tomX... Thakns alot, seems like realy much could be done with html. But what will you say about the color combination.
