naijadeyhia: Catholic Names? Na wa for this people sha. So the catholic church gave names to everyone in the bible? Jesus declared that he is the Lord of the Sabbath so this annuls your presumption that you can choose what day is the sabbath. A true believer knows that the sabbath is every day of the week as the worship of God isnt limited to a single day. Ignorance personified is what you are.

naijadeyhia: Do you even know what the bible is? The bible IS the WORD of GOD. I guess the catholic church was mentioned in genesis and were with adam and eve in the garden of eden. Perhaps they crossed the desert and the red sea with moses and the israelites or perhaps they were standing side by side with david when he defeated Goliath. Its obvious you have no idea what you are talking about and are part of the spoonfed catholic multitude who are on their way to hell and damnation

First of all, how do you know we're in the last days? Your question implies that because Catholic priests don't marry these must be the last days--not a good argument. Perhaps you're unaware that for the last 850 years (since the Second Lateran Council in 1139), all candidates for priestly ordination in the Roman rite have been required to take the vow of celibacy. By your reasoning that means we've been in the last days an awfully long time.

There's another problem with your assertion. No Catholic is forbidden to marry. Men who become priests do so voluntarily with the understanding that in the Roman rite marriage is not an option for priests.

Rather than being forbidden to marry, Catholic priests freely sacrifice the option of marriage in favor of serving God more single-mindedly as chaste, celibate disciples. (Married men in the Eastern rites of the Catholic Church are allowed to be ordained.)

Although marriage is lawful for all Christians, it's not mandatory. It's in harmony with the Gospel to abstain from marriage for the sake of serving Christ. Jesus tells us that some "have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom. Whoever can accept this [a life of celibacy] ought to accept it" (Mt 19:12).

Paul, himself a celibate priest, explains in 1 Corinthians 6:12-13 that "everything is lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is lawful for me but I will not let myself be dominated by anything." Here Paul warns against sexual immorality and exhorts Christians to "glorify God in their bodies" (1 Cor 6:20).

In the next chapter he encourages celibacy by explaining its eminent role in a life of chastity:

Now, in regard to the matters about which you wrote, it is a good thing for a man not to touch a woman, but because of cases of immorality every man should have his own wife and every woman her own husband. . .

Indeed, I wish everyone to be as I am [celibate], but each has a particular gift from God, one of one kind and one of another...Now to the unmarried and to widows I say, it is a good thing for them to remain as they are, as I do, but if they cannot exercise self-control they should marry because it is better to marry than to remain on fire. (1 Cor 7:1-2, 7-10)

1 Timothy 4:3, far from impugning the Catholic discipline of priestly celibacy, condemns those heresies (like the Manichaeans and Albigensians) which said marriage is evil because the body is evil. Paul wasn't warning Timothy about the Cathohlic discipline--after all, Paul himself followed it!

Notes & Commentary:

Ver. 1. In the last times. Literally, last days; i.e. hereafter, or in days to come. --- To spirits of error and doctrines of devils; or, to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, as in the Protestant translation. The sense must be, that men shall teach false doctrine by the suggestion of the devil. (Witham)

Ver. 2. Their conscience seared; hardened: a metaphor from the custom of burning malefactors with a hot iron. (Witham)

Ver. 3. Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, &c. Here says St. Chrysostom[1] are foretold and denoted the heretics called Encratites, the Marcionites, Manicheans, &c. who condemned all marriages as evil, as may be seen in St. Irenæus, Epiphanius, St. Augustine, Theodoret, &c. These heretics held a god who was the author of good things, and another god who was the author or cause of all evils; among the latter they reckoned, marriages, fleshmeats, wine, &c. The doctrine of Catholics is quite different, when they condemn the marriages of priests and of such as have made a vow to God to lead always a single life; or when the Church forbids persons to eat flesh in Lent, or on fasting-days, unless their health require it. We hold that marriage in itself is not only honourable, but a sacrament of divine institution. We believe and profess that the same only true God is the author of all creatures which are good of themselves; that all eatables are to be eaten with thanksgiving, and none of them to be rejected, as coming from the author of evil. When we condemn priests for marrying, it is for breaking their vows and promises made to God of living unmarried, and of leading a more perfect life; we condemn them with the Scripture, which teaches us that vows made are to be kept; with St. Paul, who in the next chap. (ver. 12) teaches us, that they who break such vows incur their damnation. When the Church, which we are commanded to obey, enjoins abstinence from flesh, or puts a restraint as to the times of eating on days of humiliation and fasting, it is by way of self-denial and mortification: so that it is not the meats, but the transgression of the precept, that on such occasions defiles the consciences of the transgressors. "You will object, (says St. Chrysostom) that we hinder persons from marrying; God forbid," &c. St. Augustine, (lib. 30. contra Faustum. chap. vi.) "You see (says he) the great difference in abstaining from meats for mortification sake, and as if God was not the author of them." We may observe that God, in the law of Moses, prohibited swine's flesh and many other eatables; and that even the apostles, in the Council of Jerusalem, forbad the Christians, (at least about Antioch) to eat at that time blood and things strangled; not that they were bad of themselves, as the Manicheans pretended. (Witham) --- St. Paul here speaks of the Gnostics and other ancient heretics, who absolutely condemned marriage and the use of all kind of meat, because they pretended that all flesh was from an evil principle: whereas the Church of God so far from condemning marriage, holds it to be a holy sacrament, and forbids it to none but such as by vow have chosen the better part: and prohibits not the use of any meats whatsoever, in proper times and seasons, though she does not judge all kinds of diet proper for days of fasting and penance. (Challoner) --- We may see in the earliest ages[centuries] of Christianity, that some of the most infamous and impure heretics that ever went out of the Church, condemned all marriage as unlawful, at the same time allowing the most unheard of abominations: men without religion, without faith, without modesty, without honour. See St. Clement of Alexandria, lib. 3. Strom.

BigBabyJesus: Not an atheist. Don't believe in the divinity of Mary as proclaimed by the catholic church alongside their trinity theology.

Do not attend modern church or any for that matter because they suck c0ck good.

Believe in God and all that Jesus stood for.

Every other christian belief system outside christ is pure faggotry

gsalvatore: Your Understanding of the Bible depends on your level of Ignorance - Adeboye.

Its like you have made up your mind or you are narrow mind(no offence)..the dude was asking you " Why bible? Not tanakh or quran".

Have you even asked yourself how the Bible was compiled? When? And under Whose supervision? Or u tink say God throw am down to earth.

Catholic church Compiled the bible, catholic church is the Custodians of Christianity and the have Manned and Protected the Christiandom since 2000yrs, now try and see things in a bigger picture here bro. The Bible is the world of God, not all accounts were added to the bible.

Most Folks read the bible like a Newspaper or novel that's why they are incapable of understanding it, that's also the reasons some folks are brainwashed.

Some say we bow to a graven image(becareful on how you choose your words). Remember the children of Isreal bowed and look to a Serpent(image) in the wilderness,whoever that didn't will die as instructed by God.
Some say catholic conduct pagan bla bla bla.... But some of you folks celebrate christmas with catholics. Try and understand the bible well if possible go to Jerusalem and get a first taste of what its like before you show every one your level of ignorance with respect to you bible understanding.

Just go to a priest with this your question. He will be in a position to clear you- if you keep an open mind ooo.

Am a Catholic, I wouldn't brag am a staunch one cos my family is a liberal one- my Mum's family are Protestant while my Dad's is Catholic. I went to a protestant church and primary( assemblies of God and living word academy respectively) as a kid.

What I just understand is that folks that think catholics are Bad, or demonic as Someone put it is because
1, They are Very ignorant.
2, They choose not to Enlighten themselves or incapable of understanding how Christianity came to this level/age.
3, Bandwagons...they want church that is en vogue.
4, They find it difficult to understand that a Church that survived the Dark ages till this day will last till the end of time.

Finally...respect peoples choice of religion/denomination. Ask your self this.. With all the religions in this world You happen to be born into the True religion.

People of other religions do Succeed in their various fields of endeavor, they have their messiahs, their miracles, and all that...Now what if on the final day God says its the Jews or Muslims or Buddists that are his people just like we christains believe to be. Have you thought of something in this line before?

Keep an open Mind, Learn and broaden your horizon. God gave us Brain.

GOD BLESS YOU

n.b i aint trying to b brave, am just saying the truth!

Controversy: Do you have issue with comprehension?

THANK YOU O! GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS STATEMENT! THEY SEE THE TRUTH, BUT YES THEY DENY!! THEY THINK THEY ALONE CAN QUOTE THE BIBLE

free2ryhme: mundane pointlessness

THIS EXPRESSLY MEANS YOU DON'T OWN A BIBLE OR BETTER STILL YOU CANT READ!!!

free2ryhme: Everything you Catholics are saying is irrelevant until one of you can find where in the scriptures that almighty God himself says it is ok to do the things he strictly forbids us to do!!! That is, make, have and bow down to graven images, and worshiping Mary, and keeping the traditions of pagans!!!! Where does he say this in scripture?
If you can't find these things, then that should tell you that something is very wrong with your church doctrine, and is in fact, the doctrine of demons!!

Lmao!!! we have been quoting and you have not been reading...nawa! do u want us to send you the posts via mail or to your doorstep? if you master the art of reading am sure you wont ask this baseless question! God bless you as he opens your heart to hear and (very importantly) READ the truth!!! Amen!!!

BigBabyJesus: Catholic Doctrine: Rules and Sh1t

1. Roman Catholics are forbidden from the fun of birth control and abortion, citing dumb-sh1t ideas like God'll get angry if they "spill their seed on the dusty ground". So, Roman Catholics have more kids than humanly possible any group except for possibly Mormons. Some Catholics who are farmers use being Roman Catholic simply as an excuse for having children for free labor on their farms.

2. Catholics aren't allowed to have sex until married, but it doesn't count if it's a family member or a priest. Catholic parents don't tell their kids about birth control methods or abortion, opting instead to burn into their minds the fear of God by saying that Christ cries when you phuck someone you aren't married to. This method is known to work in most cases.


3. In spite of how many kids they have, virtually everything, especially sex-related activities, is a sin to Catholics. Some examples include fetishes, masturbation, owning a cat, watching anime, being jealous, being emo, thinking of sex, girls wearing pants and having a lot of money and not giving it to the church.
Oddly enough, Catholic girls are often into the good stuff when it comes to teh sex.

4. Dancing is allowed (but "keep the holy spirit between you" and drinking is encouraged, especially if you are a priest.

5. As long as you say sorry, your sins are forgiven and you get to go to Heaven. However, there are 7 sins that are unforgivable, and if you commit one, you are going to Hell. These 7 sins are used to keep /b/tards, goons and fatties out of heaven. These sins are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.

6. Molest small children.

7. If married, produce as many children as possible so that the Priest can fiddle with them.

8. If the Bible tells you to do something (such as not to worship a tree, or not to pray to a b1tch), do the exact opposite

12 REASONS I ENJOY BEING CATHOLIC

NUMBER 12


If I fall through sin, the Lord is there to pick me up and make me new again.
Seeing that I, like any human, am tempted by Satan and fall from grace from time to time, the Lord is always there to pick me up. Through the sacrament of Reconciliation He instituted, I can be assured that when I hear the priest say:

"Through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."

I am re-justified and made new in Christ. And unlike the 600 + laws of the Old Testament, the New Testament sacraments He established are so easy, and more powerful as long as I strive to make a strong firm purpose of amendment and do the assigned penance the priest gives me.

WHAT A DEAL!!!

Thinking about joining the Church but your sins are too serious?
Thinking about coming back to the Church?

Don't be afraid! Search out a holy priest who will assist you on your journey.

You've started your walk into the Church but found scandal where you are?

Find another priest and another parish then report what you found to that local bishop.

Welcome home PROTESTANTS!
