Peppyluv:
Are you a Catholic? If yes, then go to your parish and meet your parish priest who will direct you to St Vincent the Paul society. If you are not ,then go and meet your pastor or his wife. Thou the Catholic Church does not segregate,we don't help only our members but everyone even Muslims,pagans or whoever. Sorry if it hurts you that I am saying this but I really don't trust you and all those who come online to seek help giving the high rate of fraud and dubious activities these days both online or meeting one on one.
I personally have had my experience but I didn't fall 'mugu', you meet people today telling you different stories of how hard life is for them,tomorrow you see them again with a different story and identity still begging and just 3 days ago for fourth time,I entered one chance but God was with me. I escaped without being hurt or have anything taken from me,the painful part of it is that women and 80% of them are mothers are part of this devilish act!so you see it's difficult to trust anyone these days. If I must help then I must see you,if you stay in Abuja,fine...you won't need to come looking for me thou I can give you my office address but I will save you the stress by driving down to where ever you are, who knows,we can talk business too,how to set you up so you can earn a living for yourself no matter how little or do you plan begging for the same rent next year? So,are you in Abuja?

1000Likes. God bless you and continue to save you from "One chance", seems you magnet them

Peppyluv:

Ubenedictus:
It is a funny sense of ecumenism and charity and the blame throwing for this one leads to the doors of the vatican, they invented the practice of "do not offend the unbeliever".

Certain people still don't agree with the sainthood of John Paul II because of this, but God alone knows the heart of men, if he reveals to the church thus, and permits his elevation in our eyes, then i guess... so be it.

St John Paul II, ora pro nobis.

Papist:
I saw the pictures and they allowed the Muslims to hang a green flag with the word Allah inside the Church...while covering an image of the Blessed Virgin. I was distressed.

This is sacrilege. Many catholic churches and shrines stood today on spots were Idols were previously worshiped, there is a significance for that even in the spiritual realm. Moving the alter and covering the statue is no ecumenism, it is rather a picture of the state of decay; with regards to the faith of a society. The church is mortally wounded, we need Our Lady's help. We need to go back to Fatima.

From today's reading WIS 2:1A, 12-22

"The wicked said among themselves, thinking not aright:“Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings,...For if the just one be the son of God, he will defend him and deliver him from the hand of his foes.These were their thoughts, but they erred;for their wickedness blinded them, and they knew not the hidden counsels of God;...."

Do you really understand the import of this reading? Have you indeed experienced such thoughts or even action against you? Not because of your beauty, nor due to your wealth, not because of your job, nor due to your ambitions...no, I mean have you experienced this evil inclinations against you for the sake of your faith? Aha, that's gonna be a bit difficult to pin down, why, it's because we have blended. We've compromised in one way or the other, hence we are not in enmity with the ways of the "world". How have you compromised? This could be our examination of conscience today. Yet many they are who are under fire from the world as they bear witness to their faith. Let he who has been shielded by God not doubt the wickedness of men, let he whose cross seem light at the time not despise those with seemingly heavy burdens, they commit not heavier sins who are bent under the weight of their yoke. For it is God who decides when to allow and when to ease a load on His children.

"Jesus moved about within Galilee; he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him... So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come." Gospel JN 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

That's why it is so foolish for the wicked to think in his heart "the just is suffering because of I made the just suffer", no, the Just is suffering at the time because the Lord allows him to. For the Lord is capable of keeping the Just from any troubles or harm. This the saints understood and prayed for serenity, they rejoiced in their suffering as long as it pleases God to see them so, they preach with their lives, they sought the happiness of others, even as their world is filled with pains, they encouraged the living even as they faced cruel deaths. For they know that if the Lord wants to wrought a miracle, he will do it. They pray, O they pray, like Jesus in Gethsemane "take away this cup", but they remember to add... yes they remember to add... "but thy will be done", and mean it. That's the difference between us, we don't believe the last is a prayer. take courage therefore beloved brethren, if you've fallen into the hands of men for His sake, pray without ceasing and trust in the Lord, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves" PS 34:17-18, 19-20, 21 AND 23.Do not be shaken, for the battle is His and not yours.

Who can battle with the Lord
Who can battle with the Lord
Who can battle with the Lord
I say no body.

Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

Solemnity of St. Joseph, husband of the blessed Virgin Mary

From today's Gospel. MT 1:16, 18-21, 24A

"...Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly...".

What could you not give to have a partner with such a heart like Joseph's? Someone you'll entrust with your life knowing it's safe. It matters not what area of life, business, friendship, roommates, marriage, religious community, etc, Such realization gives you strength to wake up each day and face the world, it is a security that is not seen by the world, but means the world to you. That was the way Mary felt in the home of St. Joseph. Secured!

"My daughter, although you have described my spouse, Saint Joseph, as the most noble among the Princes and Saints of the heavenly Jerusalem, still you cannot properly manifest his eminent sanctity, nor can any mortal know it fully before he arrives at the vision of the Divinity. Then all will be filled with wonder and praise as the Lord will make them capable of understanding this truth".... Our Lady to Ven.Mary Agreda

So great a saint, yet so humble, that even in our world is so undervalued. Are you a celibate, here's a saint that was celibate all his life, he'll see you through. Are you in a courtship and finding it difficult with Chastity? That's your saint, one who was with Mary and didn't nurse an unchaste thought towards her, he will help you. Are you a virgin and needs God help to keep your chastity? Here is one who protected the virgin Mary's Chastity, he will come to your aid. Do you fear for a departing soul, or fear for your last moments? Here is one who died in the company and care of Jesus and Mary, he will surely intercede. Are you having work related problems or difficulties? here is a saint whose job was always tied to his name, he will guide and direct. Are you a father needing guidance and help in your duties? Here is a Man who God obeyed and was subject to.




Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Chaste spouse of Mary, hail!
Pure as the lily flower
In Eden's peaceful vale!
Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
You were God's chosen one:
To you the Word made flesh
Was subject as a Son.

2. Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
O friend of angels, hail!
Assist the hearts that faint
And guide the steps that fail.
Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Pricne of the house of God,
May His best graces be
By your dear hands bestowed.

3. Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Teach us our flesh to tame.
And, Mary, keep the hearts
That honor Joseph's name;
He loved you with a love
Of holy purity:
We pray that we may be
As pure in love as he.


Good morning all, a splendid day ahead to all.

From today's readings. IS 49:8-15

"...But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me;my Lord has forgotten me.” Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you".

Many of us must have felt like Zion at certain times in our lives. Times when we felt like we've been abandoned by God. Imagine the Sister whose spouse dies on their wedding day, the brother whose shop is gutted by fire just after he restocked, the brother whose football career ends abruptly from injury at the point of a lifetime big signing, a sister who finds out her fiance is not compatible by blood after years of friendship and dating, "many are the afflictions of man" says scripture. At such times, it's so hard not to feel like Zion. So hard it is not to feel abandoned by God, as if God has gone to sleep, or deaf to prayers, or too mean to forgive certain offenses we could remember having committed, hence leaving us to our fate.
Beloved, recall how quickly we run to the rescue of loved ones, Imagine how much we undergo in sacrifice to ensure the comfort of those we care for, yet all these attributes of love, care, compassion, etc, that we exhibit are mere patches of what God posses, for He created us in his Image and likeness. Scriptures says "The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy" Psalm 145:8 . It is an assurance that God will never abandon His own, And Jesus assures in the Gospel, that God is always at work, hence he never sleeps: “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work...” Jn 5:17-30 says the master Himself. So it matters not the dark night you're presently experiencing, keep calm, trust in Him and keep knocking, the Sun of Justice and Light of the world will shine on you. Know that certain persons have experienced worse and still withstood, you can do it too, for Joy shall come in the morning...yes, yes but only for winners, not for losers. Pray for Syncan too.

Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

[size=20pt]TO ANY CATHOLIC, WHY DO THE SCARS OF CRUCIFIXION APPEAR ON THE CATHOLIC MARY'S HANDS?[/size]

https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Roman%20Catholicism/blasphemy.jpg

WE (my family members, my social media friends, my offline friends, anyone in any part of the world via google search that may behold this image and my question and of course, the Nairaland members) ARE WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER WITH BIBLE REFERENCES

If you don't answer this question or you come up with insubstantial excuses, let your CONSCIENCE FOREVER JUDGE YOU and all these words will stand against you on that GREAT DAY only if you repent from your evil ways

I will give you what you now deserve. Now answer me, what class did the presidential candidate of APC and Okon attend here as students? Please answer with appropriate references to their school records. Every one who comes here is waiting for your response.

adeniyitheprof:
Behold the preacher of falsehood criticizing me of opening a new account. May be that is what you do here on nairaland. There is no gain if you do that.

The username "mrsylver" is being used by a co-worker named, SYLVER EBIAGHAN. He was not aware of Nairaland not until yesterday when I showed him and others in my work place during our leisure the life-saving questions I was about to post here on nairaland. They were interested in the topic and in a state of eagerness to see your response to your questions but unfortunately they were disappointed this morning seeing all your flawed responses. In short, I personally encouraged him to register on nairaland this morning and he quoted you. That was why I used the word "WE" earlier that we were patiently waiting for your answers yesterday.

REPENT FROM YOUR IDOL WORSHIPING RELIGION TODAY AND BE SAVED


PLEASE, TO ANY CATHOLIC, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING SIMPLE QUESTIONS:

You said: Jesus is God (BIBLICAL and AGREED)


You said: Mary is mother of JESUS (BIBLICAL and AGREED)

Thus, you said "MARY IS THE MOTHER OF GOD" (NOT BIBLICAL at all but let me assume that she is the Mother of God)

(NOTE: St.Anne is mother of the Virgin Mary and [size=15pt]grandmother of Jesus Christ[/size], according to WIKIPEDIA)

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:

[size=15pt]Is St.Anne now the GRAND MOTHER OF GOD?[/size]

I am sure that Mary had a father who married St.Anne....So her father is the [size=15pt]GRAND FATHER OF GOD?[/size]

DEMYSTIFICATION OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 12

https://www.nairaland.com/2186683/demystification-revelation-chapter-12

Hahahaha, co-worker ko, co-player ni. The truth is gradually coming out. So you now sought the help of a "co-deceiver"; since I told you that you're alone in this daftness. Stop putting up fictitious names here, or better still stop exposing your "co worker" in an anonymous forum. All you need is be truthful and be free, not to keep repeating already answered questions. Repent of those iniquities keeping you from knowing the truth when it is laid bare before you.


Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

mrsylver:
Make u jst ansa him questions na. Simple!

Shame! I said it that you thrive in deceit Adeniyi. Because you cannot like your own post, you opted to hit 'share' to decieve readers into thinking that anyone gives a hoot. Then I reproached you for claiming that there are more of your kind who can't comprehend responses, you desperately and deceitfully went to open a new account just to post this and like your posts. You guys are cheats and robbers, defaming the House of God. "It is written," he said to them, "My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers" Matt 21:13. Repent of your iniquities and stop working for the dragon, that the truth may set you free.


Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

adeniyitheprof:
Hahahahahaha.......I laugh scornfully at you and all the Catholics world wide for your gross inability to answer the life-saving questions.

Hahahahahaha......Yeah!!! I laugh again at the idol worshippers (or Catholic Mary worshippers) just like how Elijah made mockery of the prophets of Baal.

Your inability to tell me and others (on nairaland, reading comments alone or online users of google search engine of the present and the future times that may see my questions) categorically whether or not the father and the mother of Mary are respectively the GRAND FATHER and the GRAND MOTHER OF GOD shows or proves to the Christ followers once again of the fallacies, errors, devilish doctrines, misconception, anti-Christ doctrines, anti-God teachings, delusions, misjudgment, mockery of the 250 bishops at the Council of Ephesus, scripturally baseless teachings, and crass worldliness upon which Roman Catholic Church (or Cult) stands or was established.

Go and ask the prince of this world who is the head of your religion or cult to give you the answers to my questions. You can deceive yourself but God of the Bible cannot be mocked. However, remember to come back here to reply me.

Your YES or NO to my questions will seriously put you and other Catholics in a great disadvantage of your logic and a regret of wasted years and these responses and my comments later will be published live online (not on Nairaland) and particulary offline. Surely, you don't know the person you are dealing with here! You don't need to know. Just answer the questions clearly. It is going to be massive.

I do not know that you could be so scared to answer those questions....Hahahaha! .......Laughing at your false doctrine to scorn at the order of Elijah laughing at the prophets of Baal to scorn.....Hahahahaha!

JESUS ALONE IS THE SAVIOUR.

Nonsense. What is there to laugh about? Instead of seeking knowledge through worthy research and diligent studies, you stuff yourself with crumbs from tracts from deceitful entities and rush to here raving and ranting. Take a look at scripture "The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly " Prov.15:14 and stop feeding on trash. Keep deceiving yourself that there is still a question unanswered, I have noted earlier that you feed and live on deceit. Those who read and understand will be blessed, for scripture has said "Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance" Proverbs 1:5. Repent of those iniquities keeping you from knowing the truth when it is laid bare before you.


Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

Papist:
My brother have you forgotten that they are taught that Catholics are not allowed to read the Bible? Our brother Adeniyi obviously created his account to convert Catholics believing that we don't read the Bible. Now he is clearly shocked by our Biblical answers to his criticisms of Catholic doctrine and in his desperation he is resorting to derailing his own threads.

Don't mind him bro, his bane is arrogance while neck deep in ignorance. Bla bla bla, yet scripture is now being unfolded here and he calls it "unfounded stories" shame on him. Let him continue barking up the wrong tree, instead of repenting of those sins that clog his eyes from seeing what Prophets, angels, holy persons and wise persons saw.

adeniyitheprof:
Jokingly with this your answer, if I were your lecturer (which I can never be because my students will be better in answering questions like these), I would give you (minus 10) over (50 marks).

I asked you simple questions that based on the assumption or fact from the Catholics that Mary is the mother of God and St.Anne whom the Catholics claim that she is the mother of Mary,
IS ST.ANNE NOW THE GRAND MOTHER OF GOD?

IS THE FATHER OF MARY NOW THE GRAND FATHER OF GOD?

Don't run away again from the above life-saving questions.

Answer the questions (without exhibiting anger and bitterness again) with YES or NO as your response and stop giving me all these unfounded stories.

A lot of people are patiently waiting for your or any Catholic's response.

I take it you don't have anything else to say, or you lack the power of comprehension. Very explicit in my response lies the answers, to your daft questions, well garnished with appropriate scriptural backing. Stop telling lies about people waiting for answers because, for now, you are alone in this arrogant ignorance of yours, laced with the inability to read and understand. You are now looking for yes or no answer like a baby, when you fill paragraphs with those trashy submissions of yours. I use scriptures to educate you, but you call them "unfounded stories". I have told you and will continue repeating: Leave those iniquities you involve in(telling lies inclusive), which is keeping you from seeing what Holy people saw.

Keep posting trash, and hitting share on your own posts as if anyone is following those nonsense, it seems deceit is your stock in trade.

Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

WAITING PATIENTLY FOR YOUR ANSWERS

In as much as your obsession over non issues keep increasing, you will always continue to miss the point that what ever position God has given anyone cannot be taken from him or her, no matter how much it pains you. God took flesh and was born by His creature. A woman God created gave birth to God on earth as a man. That man was God at all times, there was never a point that that Man was not God. He was God from before creation, He was God when He was in the womb of His Creature, He was God when His Creature gave birth to Him in the Form of His Creature. This God, in the form of his Creature by allowing His creature give birth to Him, thus makes His own creature His mother in our eyes.

Lets see what Isaiah said about Jesus.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this Is 9:6. He said that the mighty God will be given the throne of David, to you it should be ridiculous, but that's God doing.

This same mighty God, is the one that Angel Gabriel announced his Incarnation to Mary, the same one that the angel called David his father The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David...,. Lk. 1:32

Now if the Angel was not ashamed to call David His(the mighty God) father; according to Lineage, why won't St. Anne be His grandmother, or St. Joachim His grandfather...until it gets do David era, on His maternal side? You behave like the Pharisees who could not stand a God that came as a humble person, they expected a flamboyant messiah. It will do you good to keep quiet and study, exposing your ignorance with arrogance isn't good. Even the prof you added to your name in an anonymous forum reminds me of an empty vessel. Please change your ways, stop the evil things you are doing that is preventing you from seeing what Holy people saw and it shall be well with you.


Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

adeniyitheprof:
hahahahaha........
This trash you posted above has once again shown or proven your lack of basic knowledge of the Biblical teachings.

Christians! Behold this hypocrisy; considering John 2 but without considering Luke 8:19-21, Luke 11:27-28 and Jesus' reponse in Luke 2:49

Christians! Behold the ignorance being displayed here. A Catholic here on Nairaland clamed that Mary is a feminine god to them. I do not need him/her to tell me that.

I do not need an herbalist to tell me that Catholism is an Idol Worshiping Religion, different from Christianity. Note that no religion saves but Jesus alone saves.

What surprised some of us then was to hear that from an herbalist of all people. Even a muslim friend once said that at least muslims are far better than the Catholics because they do not bow down before any graven image made by men and do not pray to Mary.

You mould a graven image of Mary yourself, bow down and pray before it and not only that you even pray to her to forgive you your sins and you still claim that Catholic Mary has not replaced your God, thy Creator. HYPOCRISY

CONTINUE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF.

The deceit is right in the blood. I will always remember the earth-shaking revelations of Angelica Zambrano that your pope is in hell fire because of idolatry and other things which the Holy Spirit told him to repent from but he stubbornly refused and ended where he is right now.
I do not need such revelations before studying my Holy Bible and believing that anybody who prays to Mary or who regards her as their own mediator will be in .....complete the statement yourself.

NOTE: CATHOLIC MARY IS NOT THE SAME WITH MARY WHOM WE KNOW FROM THE HOLY BIBLE.

Sarcastically, let's assume that Mary is the mother of your own god and that means St. Anne (whom the Catholics claim that she is the mother of Mary) is the grand mother of your god and her father is the grand father of own god. Hahahahahaha.....Wonders shall end ooo. Chai! SMH!

If you or your pope don't/doesn't confirm St.Anne as the GRAND MOTHER OF GOD, then your teaching that Mary is the mother of God is baseless logically.

Can now see this abominable teaching of your religion, the Catholism?
Hahahahahaha

DEMYSTIFICATION OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 12

https://www.nairaland.com/2186683/demystification-revelation-chapter-12

Pride and Ignorance is a terrible combination, and how unfortunate a man is when he posses this. You don't find it ridiculous that a creator should inhabit in his creation. Yet you have a problem with the name of a reality. God who made heaven and earth, decided to come in the form of his creation (Man). Hence God became Man Jn.1:14. Will you then not call Jesus a man because you feel it is demeaning to Him as God? Sorry, he himself called himself a man Lk 5:24, Mk 8:31. It was His decision, he owes no one an apology. He chose to be in the son of Mary, it is not demeaning to call her his mother. The child in the womb of Mary was both Man and God, for it was the overshadowing of the Holy spirit on Mary that produced that fruit. The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. Lk 1:35. Please read this passage until you develop some sense. The mother of that child...who is the son of God, and who is God (Jn1:1)... is Mary. She is His mother, she bore Him in her womb as God, says the angel.
He was God in her womb as recognized by Elizabeth and the unborn John de baptist. When she gave birth to Him; He was God, the magi recognised this "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him..." Matt. 2:11. Please read this passage until the scales fall out from your eyes, you are working for the dragon, persecuting the children of the woman Rev 12:17. St anne is Mary's mother, hence Jesus grandmother in our language, as Jesus is God, then she is the grandmother of God too in that sense, If she was alive when Jesus was a child, then Jesus (who is God) would have called her grandma. The Catholic church does not shy away from this at all, It's what God made it to be. If God who created David should want to be called the son of David Lk 18:38, so be it, nothing is abominable there.

I chided you for listening to a herbalist, now you try to justify yourself by claiming you listen to the Muslim and not the herbalist. Smh for some "Christians"!!!

Try to amend your life, remove the iniquities which prevents you from seeing what the angel saw, what Elizabeth and unborn John her son saw, what the wise men from the east saw, and you will be doing what is pleasing to God.


Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

adeniyitheprof:
Did you just say HYPOCRISY? Wow!!!

The Catholics mould graven images of Mary, bow down before them and pray before these images but criticize herbalists who also mould images, bow down before them and pray before these images. HYPOCRISY

I was not surprised of the response of an herbalist when some brethren and I went to Omu Ijebu to have evangelism outreach there.

On getting to Him and as soon as he saw us coming, he already knew what we intended to tell him and he asked: "We came here to tell him about Jesus Christ?" We said: Yes! He then said that we should first of all go to the Catholics and to tell them about Jesus. Some of us were like surprised of this statement. He told us that what he was doing was what the Catholics do too.
He gave us the address of his younger brother who was helping the Catholic Churches around Ijebu to mould the images of Mary. He told us that his brother made his god's images whom he bowed and prayed to just like the way the Catholics do to their god via images of Mary.
I was like thinking that this man had a point that we should first of all preach Jesus to the Catholics.

Is that not HYPOCRISY to the Catholics?

Yeah! The judgement of God will start from the household of God. Yes! It will.

Exactly my point all along, you'll rather listen to the devil's deceit than ask the "woman's" children what they are doing. Now the juju priest is teaching you what I do, while you turn a deaf ear to my explanation of what I do. A man prostrating before his father in law in your culture is worshiping him according to some sects, yet it is you who is doing the prostration that should tell me it is not worship. Now if i believe the sect and not you, am i not wrong? Of what benefit is it to worship a god am not proud of? Why force a god on the Catholics? The Catholics worship the Three in One God and not Mary. No Catholic worship Mary as a god, even Mary knows that. You spend so much energy chasing shadows rather than doing what Jesus has said you should do, what benefit is it for Esau to fight Jacob over his closeness to their mother? Isn't it a waste of time? You go about counting how many hail Marys and our fathers in the Rosary, as if both prayers do not depict God as the beginning and the end, are the wordings of the first part of the hail Mary not scriptural? Are the wordings of the second part of the hail Mary not asking Mary to pray for us to God? How does Mary now replace God, for Him to tell you He is angry? God was with hail Mary praying Christians when they evangelized the world including your Africa, following them up with signs and wonders, for nearly two thousand years now. Now in this end times, you do not consider that the devil has deceived you to start fighting on his side against the "Woman and her seed" Rev.12:17 .

Just one response from me, Imagine how many times you have to come back to respond to me. That's how truth works, it pierces the soul. When catholic pray, they call on Mary to pray for them, to help them before her son who is God, like she helped the couple in Jn 2:1-11. Catholics don't give Mary the worship due to God, when you want to be truthful, you can accuse them of another thing that you're ignorant of, but continuing to say they worship Mary when they have said she is not their god, is false witnessing and thus says scripture "A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall perish" Prov. 19:9 . Check your ways.

Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the Mother of God. Peace.

MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD?
Please, for once be truthful to your conscience and study the follwing with your own level of Bible knowledge and what you know about HYPOSTATIC UNION.

(1) In Luke 8:19-21, Catholics do ignore this part of the Bible.
Your understanding of what happened in these verses will tell you the rationale behind the Human and Divine Natures of God.

Here, Jesus Christ acted as God. His mother and His brethren could not come close to Him, may be because of the crowd listening to His words. So they had to send someone to Jesus to call him. The Bible says "desiring to see thee" and this means they were not there to listen to His words but may be they wanted to see Him for an important matter.

If Mary is the Mother of God as claimed by the Catholics, Jesus should have left the crowd to answer the call of his earthly mother or better still, he should have sent someone to tell them to wait till He finished.

I am sure that even the crowd would be surprised of His response to such a call from His mother and His brethren.

Jesus said: "My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it". Wow!!!

Just imagine this great response from Jesus. Jesus did that because Mary had already played her part of the script and let Him do His major assignment that He came for.

Yes! Mary is the mother of Jesus but she could not control Him as she herself knew that Jesus is not just human but a Messiah that whole of Israelites including Mary had been waiting for AND she also knew that she only found favour in the sight of the Lord to be used by Him as a channel or carrier of Jesus in the womb. If you are working for God now, it is a special privilege, grace or favour from God.

"Play your part and leave the rest to God" is the guiding principle for every man or angel or prophet used by God in and off the Bible.

(2) In Luke 11:27-28, this is another verse in the Bible which the Catholics do not like to read at all.
What happened in these verse is like as if Jesus knew that some people like the Catholics may start soon to praise or worship or exalt Mary who was just a player of the Script of God.

Verse 27: "...Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked".

The quoted words above are the words of a certain woman who lifted her voice among the company.

On the contrary to the proclamation of that woman, in Luke 11:28, Jesus said: "...Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it"

Just like what He said in Luke 8:19-21 without mistakes, He openly rebuked the statement from the woman.

He said: "Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it"

If Mary is to be praised just like the Catholics do now and is claimed to be a mother of God, He would have used such opportunity in the presence of the crowd to shower praise unto Mary, His earthly mother or at least, He would have acknowledged such proclamation from that woman. However, he rebuked such statement.

(3) Words like "mother of God" are not found anywhere in the Bible but "mother of Jesus" is often used. You may want to argue here that TRINITY and RAPTURE are also not found in the Bible but often used by the present evangelists.

Yes! They are not found in the Bible just like "hypostatic union" because they are part of the present English vocabulary to explain the teachings of Bible.

However, this phrase "mother of God" should not too hard for the authors of the Bible to use or better still, we should have read after the ascension of Christ that Peter, Paul and others (whom we read that they recognized Jesus as God in human flesh) praised Mary or gave her the title "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD"

When I read posts like this, I marvel at the hypocrisy of people. Today some people are celebrating mothers day, and they all take a time out to appreciate in a special way that someone who gave them nature and nurture, or one of those as the case may be. No one, irrespective of the importance of his status or occupation, is praised for neglecting this duty, neither does anyone take credit for disowning his mother. Yet certain individuals in this end times, have decided to portray Jesus as one who waved his Mother aside. So Unfortunate it is that they do not see themselves working for the "enemy of the woman" Gen 3:15, by depicting Jesus "her seed" in a bad light; as one whose honor of his mother was less than what we sinners give ours. Shame on you so called Christian who never read Lk 2:51 " And he (Jesus)went down with them(Mary and Joseph), and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them...". What blindness from hell keeps you from acknowledging the Influence of a woman over the activities of God, when to please her, He performed his first public miracle of turning water into wine Jn. 2:1-11, yeah even when he said "mine hour is not yet come". Jesus the greatest of all teachers, continued to call his mother "Woman" just to knock it into thick skulls that this is the "woman" of the promise in Gen 3:15 "I shall create enmity between you and the woman, your seed and her seed..." How this consistent teaching, which the early Christians knew, managed to elude some self acclaimed champions of Christianity in this end times baffles me. How convenient it is to simply accept Trinity, Rapture, Hypostatic Union which are not written in scripture "because they are part of the present English vocabulary to explain the teachings of Bible", yet you need the Holy Spirit to explain to you that the child in the womb of Mary was both God and Man.That at the time she was giving birth to Him in Bethlehem, that she was giving birth to someone who was both God and Man.
I marveled at the kind of media coverage given to to Pregnant Kate, wife of Prince William, during the birth of George, why, because they consider him a future King, so they were following the progress of the "mother of a likely future king". Yet someone who will fight for an insult on his mother (or maybe you even insult your mother), comes here to spew trash as if Jesus and Mary are in a contest. Jesus affirmed "Yea even more blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it". Who heard the word of God and obeyed it more than Mary? "I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy words"...have we forgotten? That's why Jesus made it clear that Mary is most blessed for her obedience in cooperating with the works of God. Jesus was simply encouraging all, it was like "You too will attain happiness, even if you did not give birth to Jesus, once you hear the word of God and keep it. IT WAS NEVER A DISREGARD OF THE DIVINELY EXULTED POSITION OF CARRYING GOD IN THE WOMB AND GIVING BIRTH TO GOD. Stop fighting the children of the woman, stop working for the dragon shown in Rev 12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Jesus is God, Mary bore Jesus in her womb, Mary bore God in her womb. It is the Lord's doing, It is marvelous in our eyes.

Peppyluv:
Good morning brethren..
Important notice for catholics in Abuja especially those within Maitama,Asokoro,Wuse2 and closest districts. There will be a Rosary procession this morning 9am from Holy Trinity maitama to Catholic church of the assumption,Asokoro...
Quite a journey but you and I know its worth it, for every intention we pray for and blessings we need.
I'm off..see ya when I'm back

Great. I had expected the CBCN to mandate this in all dioceses. We really need what happened in 1571 to happen again.

Ubenedictus:
Adeneyitheprof, i hope you can understand the English you wore below.

So next time you start expounding catholic doctrine read well.

The Communicatio Idiomatum
A doctrine that is related to the Hypostatic Union is the communicatio idiomatum (Latin
for "communication of properties" ). This is the teaching that the attributes of both the divine and human natures are ascribed to
the one person of Jesus. This means that the man Jesus could lay claim to the glory He had with the Father before the world was
made (John 17:5), claim that He descended from heaven (John 3:13), and also claim omnipresence (Matt. 28:20). All of these are divine qualities that are laid claim to by Jesus; therefore, the attributes of the divine
properties were claimed by the person of Jesus.

Both properties are claimed by one Person, Mary gave birth to Jesus i.e. One person who is both God and man, she didn't just give birth to a human Jesus, she gave birth to a person called Jesus who is God, she gave birth to God. She is the mother of God.

Nowonder the first place the doctrine of the hypostatic union was first define in all it strength was in the council of ephesus, the same council also declared Mary mother of God.

I strongly doubt if he will understand, whatever he is high on must have clogged his comprehension.

Jennydoris:
. Good night.

A peaceful night to you.

Jennydoris:
A wonderful morning to you. Enjoy your day.

Ada Ada, Thanks and God bless you.

From Today's reading. Hos 14:2-10.

Thus says the LORD:Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God;you have collapsed through your guilt.Take with you words,and return to the LORD; Say to him...We shall say no more, ‘Our god,’ to the work of our hands;.....

Isn't it interesting when we look at ourselves and affirm that we are not idolaters. That we have no strange God. Is this really true? At this moment in my life, is there an offense against God I seem not to be able to desist from? Is there something in my life at present that I am trying to justify by all means just because I feel helpless to stop? Is there an a sin I take lightly or normal because I can't stop from doing it? Why is this offense difficult to stop, what's at stake? My Job, My relationship, My financial state, My social image, My comfort, etc. Each of these constitute a god to me when to satisfy it comes first before God in my life. When we offend God to satisfy any of these constantly, we often say to ourselves "I will amend my life later", oh brethren, how many are they that have gone to the grave, who did not fulfill their tomorrow plans. Today we are called to look into our lives in this aspect of recurrent sins, from the ones we call venial; to the ones that is keeping us from approaching the Eucharist. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?..." Rom 8:35-

From the gospel: One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied, “The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. MK 12:28-34

The Master had to call the attention of all, this was a very important information, not for just those around him. He had to address the whole nation, "Hear, O Israel"! He shouted. God has to be the first in all considerations, in all decisions, in all actions and even inaction. May the good Lord have mercy on us for the various gods we've made in our lives, and by the fruits of this Lenten season tear us out of these bondage. Remember Syncan in your prayers too.

Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.
