Ubenedictus:
I'm not so sure its coincidence, salc and syncan have a funny way of dropping small bombs.

unless he is just filled with the holyspirit and is enjoying a bit of God's knowledge which allows him to guess well.

chikk:
Lol. Even me surprise for the pet name. Because it's actually real to some people. Except he's on my bbm it'd be a weird coincidence.

I didn't say anything o... But it looks like stryktlymi will be next. Just ameboing

Una good night... Or morning. Can't believe I haven't slept... Chai

JMAN05:
That is scripture.

The tradition I mentioned there is referring to those tradition not written in Gods word that some claim came from righteous servants of God who lived prior to them. This is what Jesus refuted in the account I quoted.

However, there are written traditions in Gods inspired word. These are not what I mean by "tradition" in the previous post.

Ubenedictus:
the 1st question should be: is it compulsory to pay tithe? What u give to God is largely ur business whether it is 30% or 50%, how u give it is also largely ur business. The parish is usually d cell of xtian life that is usually where d money goes but u are free to go to d vicentians, charities or even another parish.

chikk:
Good afternoon brothers and sisters in the Lord. I greet you all in the name of Jesus + Mary.

Happy new year, month, week to you all. Happy belated birthday to you syncan.
Pls, I have a kweshion o. Is it compulsory that one pays tithe in the particular church/parish they attend? Also, must it be paid to the church? That is, can I pay my tithes in another parish different from the one I attend regularly, send it directly to one priest or to my parish priest, drop it with st Vincent de Paul or even use it myself for any good deed or some work of charity?

Ubenedictus:
i'm not sure the pope is very particular about the theology of the whole thing, with the pope stacking the episcopate with liberals it is clear cardinal muller, sarah and burke are a dying breed

SalC:
Yeah, just testing my creativity.

jnrbayano:
You don't know this song?

SalC:
The truth is ......i don't even know the said song.

Thanks!
Syn..can..do..more!!

SalC:
Thank you for giving us stanza 1 and 2.

Its remaining the rest

Ubenedictus:
I just read cardinal muller seemingly contradicting the pope. the case is very serious cardinal against cardinal, bishop conference contradicting each other, bishop on bishops and the holy father chose to b quiet.

JMAN05:
We are not discussing inspiration here. My point has always been that tradition does not have equal authority with the scriptures. Scripture is a product of inspiration. I don't see how this relates to my comment above.

2tim 3:15-17 is stating that the scripture is what a man of God need to be wise for salvation, equipt for every good work etc. This is never said of tradition. Or was it?



My statement means that Paul quoted extensively from the written word. But not extensively from the written word. I think you misunderstood that.

However, I see reason to believe that he may have alluded to tradition in few cases eg Jannes and Jambres case. I have not said that there were no good tradition. There are, but these do not have equal authority with the scriptures. The written word is rather the guage you use to weigh those traditions.

As for 1cor 10:4, although we found similarity in Jewish tradition, it can't be said that a literal huge rock followed them during the wilderness trek. Nope! Paul was apparently referring to there having obtained water from a rock shortly after leaving egypt and obtaining another towards the close of there trek .

B. Look at this word of Jesus:

Mark 7:13

13 Thus you make the word of God invalid by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.

Don't you think that Jesus would not have stated that the Pharisees were invalidating Gods word by there tradition if tradition had equal strength with the scriptures?

2. By his words, don't you think that Jesus was assigning more authority to the scriptures than to tradition? For eg, do u think Jesus would ever say "you make tradition invalid by the scriptures?"

Does this make any sense to you?

jnrbayano:
"We gather together to sing the Lord's praises
To worship the Father through Jesus, His Son.
In this celebration
All sing with jubilation
We are His holy people whose freedom He won.

We greet our Lord present within this assembly
To hear His good news announced clearly to all.
Our priest is presiding
In Christ we are abiding
As we invoke God's blessing and answer His call."

Since Christ is the vine and his people the branches,
In him we give praise to the Father above.
Christ brings every nation
the wonders of salvation,
that all may grow in knowledge, in faith, hope, and love.

The hymn above pls, who can get me all the verses?

Aizenosa:
Hbd my oga Syncan bigger and greater you, I pray. Amen.

SalC:
Thanks Syncan, Ubenedictus, Jnrbayano and Rich4god.

I saw someone ask that question yesterday and i was surprised i never thought about it.

Btw the church amazes me sometimes, always somehow making a way for even the defiant.

SalC:
Lol pope Francis should be a subject to study, that man turn brains of even some cardinals

Everyone's running helter skelter to grasp his doings.

Ubenedictus:
Who kill dele giwa? na baba, who con put gida na im know.

fela

Ubenedictus:
there is a very big problem there as u noted particularly schism and heresy or even apostasy. But canon law tore a big hole in the name of ecumenism, i usually find it hard to understand but there is an opening that allows non catholics to receive confession in the church under certain conditions. Canon 844

Ubenedictus:
4. If the danger of death is present or other grave necessity, in the
judgment of the diocesan bishop
or the conference of bishops, Catholic ministers may licitly
administer these sacraments to other Christians who do not have full communion with the Catholic
Church, who cannot approach a minister of their own community and on their own ask for it, provided they manifest Catholic faith in these sacraments and are
properly disposed.

SalC:
You have this affinity for trouble making

jnrbayano:
Non-Catholic but a Christian with a valid baptism can go to the confessional with a catholic priest if he/she demonstrates a positive disposition for the sacrament of Penance and also ready to have faith in it (as ordained by Jesus Christ) to bring about the absolution of the sin he/she will confess.

Non-Catholic but not a christian is not qualified for the confession, however, he qualifies for a baptism. Baptism open the door for other sacraments.

This is my opinion.

SalC:
Can someone who is not a Catholic go to confession in the Catholic Church?

Cc Syncan, Ubenedictus, Jnrbayano and co

jnrbayano:
Happy belated birthday bro
