kennedyugo: Well, the main topic here is about catholic doctrines which are obviously unscriptural. But since you don't want to address the issue directly, I leave you. Only praying for you!
Not to every question did Our Lord, Jesus, offer a response. For you, I have addressed whatever issue you have as it befits the presentation. I maintain that you should know; before you sit in judgement. I pray for you as well.

kennedyugo: That place talks about Paul's epistle, which I'm not denying here neither am I denying any portion of the Bible. Except you telling me your doctrines are part of the Bible?
You still do not get it do you? Well Peter is just saying that if you do not behave like the Ethiopian Eunoch, you may get yourself in trouble.

kennedyugo: Sorry for misconstruing your statement. But what I wrote still stands in the case of what you believe. We must serve God according to His will not according to ours,
Your wresting of my statement "still stood" to you until I pointed out your folly. In the same way your "treatise" still stands in your mind until you are led aright. To you is this response useful "And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?" Acts 8:31. Humble request...he was better after that.

kennedyugo: Listen, God is God. We are not to decide how we'll serve God but only follow God the way He wants us to. God does not seek our opinion. God cannot bring us to a round table to seek our opinion . He only tells us what to do and for our own good, we better do it that way.
1 Corinthians 10:22: 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
Galatians 1:10: 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Serving God is not about what naturally gives us joy, or what we agree with. But we must align our will with that of God. Only in Him we find complete joy. At first, it may not be pleasing, but as we continue, we begin to experience the grace and power of God.
So, what I'm saying; God cannot come to our level, we have to go to Him. Acknowledging that His thoughts are higher than ours, we cannot therefore serve Him based on our natural human instincts and relationships.
For instance, saying because Mary gave birth to Jesus, she must therefore be a "co-God" or "co-mediator", or a queen of Heaven since the child is the king! Therefore, we must go through her to get something from the son!
As I said before, that is human logic and does in no wise apply to God! God is no human! Jesus is the Son of God, Mary is human.
It'll only be good for us if only we follow God's laid down principle, not formulating our own carnal logic which does not apply to God.

Remember, God cannot call us to a round table to seek our opinion
My friend, I told you I was not in the mood for teaching, but to entertain myself, you then asked me to go to the entertainment section, to which I replied that I choose where to get entertained (gives me joy), and thanked you for your troubles. Now you have misconstrued such a simple statement, to mean that my religious affiliation is determined by what gives me joy. Imagine what you must be doing to scripture, please take heed of this:

2Pet 3:16 "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction".

Stop condemning what you do not understand bro, it makes your ignorance your fault.

kennedyugo: Well, indulgence according to the article is a kinda forgiveness of sin, or pardon implemented as reducing the person's jail term in the "purgatory".
It also implies that the pope and the Vatican has power to forgive sins.. As implied here: .
Consider what the pharisees said here:

This tells us that it's God that forgives sins, and Jesus, being the Son of God also has the power to forgive sins. The pharisees knew this
Though you did not do justice to what Indulgence is (which you really should know before criticizing), If it relates to forgiveness of sins as you understand, then consider this yourself :

"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained". John 20:23. This is Jesus, who you rightly acclaim as having the power to forgive sin, giving that power to his apostles. That power did not die with the apostles you know.

It pays to do a little reading before sitting in judgement.

I was kind of "halted" when I saw this :https://www.nairaland.com/1563284/angels-no-wings-says-catholic

But come to think of it, all the visionaries I have read, I can't remember any one describing angels as having wings.

I'm still gonna look out for more on this.

Any inputs?

Christianity EtcRe: Angels Have No Wings, Says Catholic ‘angelologist’ by Syncan(m): 9:41am On Dec 22, 2013
Manhunter™:
Dishonest as usual. When did "sons of God" (usually used to refer to God's angels ) become humans?
I do not think he is dishonest.

The new testament enlightened us on the fact that Adam was known as the "son of God" LK 3:38. In Genesis chapter 5 we see a genealogy account starting from Adam via Seth his son.

Take special note of Gen 4:26 thus: And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD

Compare with "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:" John 1:12
and
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God".Rom 8:14

We see that it is God who confers the Sonship on any man. The means of doing this depends on him, could be as in the case of Adam who he created in his Image, or in the case of study where they began to call upon His name again, or in the case of those who received Christ, or as Rom 8 :14 says "as many as are led by the spirit of God".

This is in contrast to those who "left the presence of the lord" as seen in Cain (Gen 4:16), or those who "are carnally minded" Rom 8. These for the purpose of distinction are termed "of men" or "of flesh".

It simply means we can say that the children of Seth lineage, at that point in Gen 6:1-4, saw the children of the lineage of Cain and married them.

Lk 20:34-36 seem to suggest that angels are out of the question here.

kennedyugo: Well, I just want people to understand and open their eyes.
Eternity is forever! There's no turning back! There's no two way to Heaven


you should have gone to the entertainment section them
If you want people to open their eyes, you have to prove first that you can see. I asked you what you know about the topic you raised, I have so far not heard anything from you.

I decide what gives me joy and where to find it, thanks any way.

kennedyugo: the one I posted from theguardian. Pope handing off "indulgences" for following him on twitter. (Assuming the said purgatory exists)
Dear one, What do you understand by indulgence?

If purgatory does not exist, why have a headache on things related to it?

I am actually here this day to be entertained, I am in a holiday mood, I do not want to teach today grin

Same stick for all is the tool here, while adherence to the rules with clarity and firmness is the job procedure. Anything short of this is disaster...and it comes real quick.
