Christians and their wars.
I always enjoy it anyway....the bickerings keeps getting entertaining everyday.
Never seen a more factorial religion...even Islam didn't come close. Kawai!!!!

Someone up there ha already decided who and who is going to hell.......kikikikiki. Religion of Jokers !!! !!!

Lol

Kingdante:



True, very true...... and another point is 80% of catholic were born into it, it wasn’t a thing they choose by themselves(samething implies to our Muslim brothers)


One of the major issues with religion is you are not allowed to think outside the box, cos of you do, you start asking questions and even if you want to ask questions they tell you to go see the leader or whoever runs the show privately and ask the question..... why don’t I ask questions for the whole cogregation to hear and maybe if my question is thought provoking enough it might wake up some of my brothers from their slumber?

Lol. Don't you know that using logic and reasoning is a sin

Obascoetubi:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought
you out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of slavery. “You shall have no
other gods before me. “You shall not
make for yourself a carved image, or
any likeness of anything that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth. You shall not bow down to them
or serve them, for I the Lord your God
am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers on the children to the third
and the fourth generation of those who
hate me, but showing steadfast love to
thousands of those who love me and
keep my commandments.
Exodus 20:3

Are you a Catholic?

Empredboy:
then Google Mary coronation then. Good day

Lol. You just wasted your time here cause you didn't explain anything. Next Person

Empredboy:
if you were once an altar boy and seminarian please answer these questios.
(1) Benedicta mos domino
(2) which congregation were you.
If you refuse to answer me then I am done with this.
But if you answer me I will point the bible verses to your question

Lol, your questions are pointless because even if I didn't know, I have Google and the internet to tell me. I'm not reaveling anything about me to you. If you know the bible verses and choose not to share it's no big deal. We all have copies of the bible and I know those narrations were written no where inside

So I posted something about the Catholic Church earlier today and None of the Catholics could answer my question. Well that is by gone.

I would like a Catholic to justify the below images and tell me (us) why it is not Idolatory.

Anas09:

You tire for him? The brother just discovered he has been deceived for years, have you? When i discovered i began asking questions as he is doing now.

The day you discover you have been deceived, is the day the deception ends.

Yes bro, been deceived for too long.

Watch my next thread, I'm going fully against catholism

Anas09:

Na true o. Dem dey come.

I'm waiting

Anas09:

It'd been better to point to one thing written in the Bible which is in doubt, before saying this.

Thank you Brother.

Anas09:

Don't worry those three names are Pope, Cardinal and Archbishop. They'll tell you.

Anas09:

Hold on, i called the big names, they will be here soon.

Lol. I'm waiting. I just want someone who knows to tell me where it was gotten from. I don't want to assume it was forged

Empredboy:
I tire for him

I don't understand. I just saw it now? Who said I just saw it now? I am simply asking for the source, is that too much to ask.

Empredboy:
so if the person who wrote the bible had written her coronation just as he wrote her conception you would have believed? Man of little Faith. What has her coronation got to do with your salvation?

Lol. There you go again. I didn't come here to ask what would happen if it were in the bible or some salvation stuff. Simple question, where were those narrations sourced, do you or do you not know?

Empredboy:
who was there when God created the World that made us believe that this whole earth and everything in it was created within 7days? And you called yourself a seminarian? I beg which congregation were you? And at which level did you stop ?

Lol you are derailing. God creating the world is in the Bible. Where was this one gotten from, simple question.

Empredboy:
From your write up is there any message contrary to the gospel passage? From Jesus appearing to Mary to when they were filled with the holy spirit? If john the beloved can write the revelation I don't think there is nothing the holy spirit can't do to make her write her own story.
Come to think of it, if all the gospel reading can give different account of the same events why can't she do such too remember that she was in the upper room when the holy spirit came down like fire which means she had been with the disciples since Christ death.
Also from the bible account we were told she lived with john who Christ handed her to.
So what is the big deal in the passage if I may ask you? Is the passage repugnant to people's opinion? Is it a wicked message that you created a thread for? Or you just want to make things out of nothing?
For the fact that you claimed to be an ex seminarian your question shows how you lived in the seminary. I will leave you to your conscience. If you feel what you did in the seminary was good or bad I leave with God

Who was there when she was coronated according to the passage? Who wrote it?

Kingdante:


Bros watch how they will avoid this topic like a plague, even the so called priest wouldn’t even touch it with a long stick..... one of the major issues is that they don’t read the bible, any catholic that takes his or her time to studying the bible is on its way out of the Catholic Church......

I can give a list of over 20 practises and/or dogma they that aren’t in the bible or goes against biblical principles......and sincerely I don’t blame them the deception is crazy!!! It’s the so called leaders of the Catholic Church (pope, cardinal etc) that is to be blame for the evil.

Not one single Catholic here had even the mind t I'm answer my question

OpenYourEyes1:



Bro/Sis, God exists 100%. Don't let anyone deceive you my friend.
The righteous will live forever. Evildoers will be destroyed. God's Law is Universal..



We are under God's test. He selects the best by testing them

"Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth" - Revelation 3:10

I don't want to divert

MrPRevailer:
Christianity isn't a Joke. It's people that are making a joke of it. And there are different levels of joke.

I'm sorry but what are you trying to say? The people you are talking about are they not Christians? What is Christianity without Christians? and what are the different levels of joke?

OpenYourEyes1:


Many seminarians I know end up being destroyed by the teaching of the seminary schools. Wonder what is going on?

I'm not trying to be biased but if God exists and the Bible is his word and Heaven and Hell is real, All Catholics are going down to Hell. To me, Catholism is a religion on its own. They hold various strange beliefs.

Rotentina:


John 14: 6

Lol. That's the point, All the Christians are following Christ who is the Way, the truth and the life. But they are still holding different beliefs about that same Jesus.

Malocity:


Thank you very much for your quick understanding.

Check from the Beginning of our Bible Scriptures to the End (Gen. - Rev.). You will discover God nor Jesus did not call anybody Christian.

If God is the creator of this world (of which we believe is true). He never created any religion. Religion is a product of "The Fall."

Man's quest for a better life, outside God's perspective, gave room for different sects of believes to come into play.

God always use the word "My People" not Christians even when there where others known as Heathen (those who don't believe in God Almighty). Hence Religion was never part of the Creation.

Religion
Religion is the set of beliefs, feelings, dogmas and practices that define the relations between human being and sacred or divinity. (http://atheisme.free.fr/Religion/What-is-religion-1.htm)

This is correct when it come to classifying Christianity. It become a religion but it has never being God's plan it is all man's idea.

Christian(s)
The word Christians was translated from a Greek word Christianous or Christianos which means "Followers of Christ."

And it was used by the people in Antioch to call the disciples. Acts 11: 26 and the word occurred only 3 times in the Bible. (Acts 11:26, 26:28, 1Peter 4:16).

Of what benefit is a religion when we have One God and Creator? But because some don't want to believe in HIM they called themselves names, Buddha, Islam etc and feel comfortable to give another sect who are "Christians" Christianity.


Look at John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

"Sons of God" not even followers of Christ.

Hope it helps?
I just tried to make the explanation short.

But for more discussions and study let's chat via WhatsApp 08035694634

I understand you no need for further discussion. You think that religions - Christianity in particular - shouldn't be the way it is. No wahala

SEGLIZ:

yeah I get you there. dinominationalism is not meant to bring division, it was suppose to be and it is meant to be but the truth is the human factors is playing itself out.
look around we have men of God, churches inviting men from other denominations to minister at their program.
yesterday a friend of mine was at mine, we dabbled in this issue of Christian practicing idol worshipping. he wanted to blame it on the idol worshippers truth is I came against his opinion, telling him it is no fault theirs but those that doubted the potency of the one they serve.
individual chose what to. the two you mentioned is not in entirety.

I can't clearly understand what you are saying here

adelee777:

The United States is the most confused nation. There are...
Alabama
Oklahoma
Texas
South Carolina
Tennessee...
and they use the same constitution. And they say they are united.

Sorry but you have no point. I don't want to waste my time with you

I suppose by now most Catholics will be back from Mass. C'mon where are y'all, don't disappoint me

SEGLIZ:

No Christianity is not divided. those division you are claiming is meant to be denominations. dinominationalism is about ideal and values. their is a rallying point for Christianity and that is Christ the author and finisher of mankind's faith.

Saying Christianity is not divided but they have different denominations that oppose each other is an apparent irony.

Jehovah Witnesses VS Catholics is a stronger fight than the Boko Haram and the Nigerian Army.

Rotentina:


When you know the truth, live by the truth.

Can you please tell me this truth.

PaChukwudi44:

You did not post the source of your story.

Really? Meaning you didn't read my post.

I said quoted from the Roman Catholic Missal. Try and grab a copy of the Missal or the Sacramentary and open the pages of the Glorious Mysteries.

I quoted the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th

easyconnect:
%90 of pastors/churches in Nigeria are Scam .

Lol. For real. They are business men selling invisible products that the consumers can only consume when they die. The availability of the product after their death is also a scam.

Malocity:
I don't have problem with denominations but what surprises me is that if we all serve one God:

why is there variance in our services?

Why is there variance in what we believe is right before God? (Female should cover hair, while in the other female does not cover their hair, etc) same Bible!

It's so unfortunate to most of these recent pastors who claim to be called even when God did not give them any mandate, hence preaching the Bible with A Dictionary meaning by the side. It hurt my faith alot most especially when I happen to find myself in such congregation.

Preaching from the Bible is way beyond looking for dictionary meaning of words, the Bible was not written in English it was translated from Hebrew and Greek; even so there are still some translations in KJV that are misinterpreted.

Let me stop here. Not until we understand that God never, I repeat; never created this Region called Christianity, we will not stop seeing what we see today.

Thank you.

I like your perception. But what do you mean that God never created Christianity? And which God are you talking about?

Please elaborate

Rotentina:
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free! John 8: 32

Did I lie?

Leonyluiz:




you are very right. but are you a muslim?

Lol. No. I'm Agnostic

SEGLIZ:

they are inseparable. actual and basic knowledge about a certain concept make us scrutinize it better.
you are talking dinominationalism in Christianity which I won't want to argue about. a good number on nairaland don't want you come close to their post or comments particularly when you have a contrary view or opinion (they end up attacking you as such I try to avoid people cursing me for no reason but trying to exchange ideas and enlightening each other).
the truth is every religion has denominations. if we are to look at the issue of the church that forms the body of Christ then a lot could be said.

So what is your point? Do you agree with me that Christianity is divided or not?
