Acidosis, ur ingenuity is giving me d creep! U posted a link to a beneditine website that said nothing about the pope! Please give us source documents(all papal documents that are exact can be found online) where d pope made those statement and their context.

carr96: Exactly! They are all big liars!
The pope is a bigger liar!
Deceivers! They always try to change a pagan holiday (christmas, easter) into a christian celebration!!
As far as I'm concerned the bible only tells us to celebrate the passover!!

today d passover is called "holy thursday" but i guess u'll criticize that too.

Freksy: Ubenedictus, if my requests were for scriptural supports to prove that Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ, I am sure there would have been time for that. To present just a scripture in support of Easter has sapped all your time? Ok, I will see if truly you don't have time for me.



Hmmmm, here you have time for me because there is no request for scriptural supports. Ok, what is Easter, how did it creep into Christianity and which scriptures support its celebration?

my dear! That is your problem! I don't need an exact scripture passage to celebrate the resurrection of christ. I celebrate my birthday and there are no scripture verses that say so.
If celebrating the resurrection is pagan simply becos it isn't in the bible, then everything not in the bible must be pagan.
Bottomline: i dont need a bible passage to celebrate christ's resurrection. And i can't be accused of sin unless u have a passage dat says "dont celebrate the resurrection"
where there is no law there is no sin.

Goshen360: Seconded.

"thirded", is that good english?

nusdog: Nonsensical crap! Is he speaking Latin or English?

*with the exception of the already adopted non-anglicized ones, he possesses no authority to use a Latin word in English.*

incase u are not aware, english is the most unsteady language in the world, thousands of new words are formed every year, in the next 100yrs english will differ from what we know today.
If white men are forming new words i see no reason why obahiagbon should anglicize a few of his own.
Bottomline: everyone has the authority to anglicize a few italian, latin and spanish words when he/she likes, when such words become popular (when they are in popular usuage), they become new english words, that is why english is "unstable" and thousands of words continue to evolve!

jl junayd: Am sure most of d house of rep will find it hard communcting wit him,am not seeing talent here am seeing madness

that means you've never sen him at the house of reps, if u want an unpopular bill to go thru just get obahiagbo to give the closing arguements, you'll see all the reps clapping and the bill is through. If he speaks against a bill then wahala dey for that bill.

Reyginus: You know better what you have in mind.

?

Gentle Naaz: Am a contoversial secialist. D imidiate predecesor 2 d present pope rtired cos he is d head of iluminati. Catholics beware of 777 - 111 = *** seun ban me, i hv spokn d trut

i guess u know this becos u too are a member of illuminati abi?

ijawkid:

the apostles were true worshippers of God...infact d apostles converted persons who used beads in worship,those who worshipped graven images of gods and goddesses...

frosbel is doing a good job...if there r sincere Catholics who have made serious turn arounds iI dnt think they'll come out here to announce it.....



you might even end up been the one who gets converted

hehehe, really? Maybe they should add you both together. What converts have ya gat with all your anti catholicism?

frosbel: ^^

I respect your decision to remain in 'mother church' , just as I also respect my Father's decision and other family members to remain in 'mother church '.

There is no compulsion in religion

since when did u start respecting other peoples decisions? Mayb u've found out forcing ur ideas on them doesn't work. Alleluia

chukwudi44: Its a really big shame to find out Frosbel has not yet won over a single soul after creating myriads of anti-catholic threads.The fool will create a thread only to abandon it midway to create another thread discussing d same issue.I wonder the kind of mentality he has.

tone down chukwudi let me have my fun before you start the name calling.

sureteeboy: We don't need any prayer from the pope. The catholic church is no longer what it used to be, It has been taken over by the devil a very long time ago. Isn't that pathetic? The mother church now worship Idols in the name of holy Mary. The world is now set for The new world order. Beware Guys

when was the catholic church taking over by d devil? Give me a date or atleast a range.

petkoffDrake: Pope pray v.well 4 KOREA nd AMERICA...cos na dem go start d war cming up!!! Leav Nija...dem kno dier problems nd can tackle it easily

e pray for korea, since you claim u know nigerias problem then we still need prayer to get and execute a solution

Reyginus: I don't want to start an argument here. Do a homework on the usefulness of morality on greatness.
Better still, create a thread.

No no no! I see your point! Hitler murdered jews plenty, it was a great fit! Greatness has nothing to do with morality.
Thanks for reminding me!

Freksy: Read through the bolded and ponder over it, what massage is it conveying? Are you not implying Jesus picked up some Egyptian philosophies while he was in Egypt "in his early years", cleaned them up and presented to us? I have proved to you scripturally that he was too young a child and had too brief a stay in Egypt to have studied and comprehend their philosophies.

If you truly knew Jesus was a young child when he was taken to and away from Egypt, why then did you put up the above? Your reasoning belies your claim that you were not ignorant of that.
Since you wouldn't eat the apple in my illustration, why then do you give unholy thing to a holy being?

celebrating christ's resurrection is an unholy thing? Weldone.

Freksy: I have gone through virtually all your comments and yet to see any with scriptural support, can you please give one to the bolded?

oga, i really no get ur time!

Segeggs: False prayer. The Catholic church has always been of the brains behind mischief and wars.

Below is a picture of the church supporting hitler.

let me check again, oh!! Yes, i see one man with another man on uniform! Wow!
Is one man the whole catholic church? Or is that the pope?
My dear, if you have a problem with the catholic church open a thread to trash it, i didnt open this thread to talk about hitler and if i was interested in all the stuff clegy has supported then i'll have pictures of protestant pastors supporting abortion and homosexuality. But that isn't the aim of the thread.
If you really don't have any peace wishes for you country and you are only interested in criticising those who wish her peace then kindly view and walk pass.
Thanks and happy pascha.

tonychristopher: will their diabolism and witchcraft couple with their prostitution and armed robbery allow that old glorified village called city develope.i live in ogida and that city sucks i must confess... look at owerri,calabar,enugu,asaba,awka even ph then imagine benin city with all their fabled civilization what they offer

Pope francis has prayed and wished peace for the world troubled region, Africa and Nigeria in particular, he did this from the balcony of st peter's basilica during this year easter address popularly called the urbi et orbi (to the city and to the world) and given just after the easter mass. He said:
peace for Africa still the scene of violent conflict and in mali, may unity and stability be restored, in Nigeria where attacks sadly continue threathening the lives of many innocent people and a great number of persons are held hostage by terrorist groups he went on to appeal for peace in Congo and the Central African Republic.

This message comes as christians in general and Catholics in particular celebrate the resurrection of Christ which marks for them a defeat of evil by good, death by life, sin by love and justice by mercy. It is a time when christian celebrate Christ who by his death and resurrection brought "true peace".

Freksy: "David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, along with the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. He told them: “You are the leaders of the Levites’ families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves and bring the ark of the *Lord God of Israel up to the place I have prepared for it. The first time you did not carry it; that is why the Lord God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.” The priests and Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. The descendants of Levi carried the ark of God on their shoulders with poles, just as Moses had ordered according to the divine command". -1Chr.15:11-15 NET.

In their first attempt, they did not follow the due process, or "due Order", according to KJV. The proper thing would have been as Moses had earlier commanded - to carry the ark on the shoulders of Kohathite Levites -Num.7:9. If King David had done that in his first attempt, what happened wouldn't have. This is one of the ways we are being taught today - By object lessons from stories of events recorded in the scripture. Instructions must not always come in the form of: "Thou shall not... " Though there was no law like: "Thou shall not carry the ark on the wagon", David's used of the wagon to transport the ark was outside of the already-existed instructions.
There is an existing instruction regarding how Christ should be commemorated, Jesus gave and demonstrated it, the disciples followed suit, Easter is outside of this and is unscriptural. Can you prove otherwise?

hey! Clap for urself u pass d question! Hehehe, d existing instruction is what i have already fulfilled so weytin happen?

souldust: @fresky going by your apple analogy, i would quote something for you from the book "An introduction to ancient Egyptian literature" by EA Wallis Budge. One of the most renouned Egyptologists.

"This rel (rel of osiris) promised to all who followed it, a life beyond the grave, after a resurection that was made certain to them through the sufferings, death and resurection of Osiris, who was the incarnation of the great God who created the heavens and the earth" you can find this on page 12 of the book.

I am sure anyone who knows christianity so well would see a striking similarity when reading through that extract i quoted. Note that this rel preceeds christianity thousands of years.

Since we know that jesus spent some of his early years in Egypt ( early part of the gospel of matthew)and that the histroy, philosophy and rel of ancient Egypt was well known in the near east at the time of jesus, one could say, in line with your apple analogy, that christianity (apple) is actually the rel of Osiris (toilet) that has been washed and given to christians including JWs and they all have eaten it!

note that i am not against christianity in any way. I am only nullyfying fresky's arguement.

hehehe

ijawkid: Ahh.......so no be easter u dey celebrate again abi??.....now na pascha??......so you even know say easter k-leg abi??....

i know say scholar dey argue d exact liguistic meaning of d anglo saxon word "easter". Whatever way u want see am, that doesn't mean the celebration of d ressurection na pagan practice.
Since u get problem with d word "easter" then i dey celebrate pascha, two words refering to d same thing.

hardbody: Which school sef this man attend? Does he just spew out this grammar or he takes time to write his speech down, memorize and then deliver. I trip for him ooo

the guy "spews" them naturally. I doubt he can speak simple english.

I just imagine say u be dey wait make i post before you quote me.

ijawkid: Xmas has always been what it is from its iÑception......pagan all the way and §atanic........nothing you gu.ys do can change it.......

do you even know its inception?

Abeg which early chri§tians u deÝ talk about for your comment??.......which ones??.......thÉ pseudo ones wey Ðey worship images or the ones wey we kÑow from thÉ scriptures.......because as we know the Çelebration of xmas Ño even exist among early christians.....

christmas is no pagan holiday, christian were already celebrating 25th as christmas before d pagans highjacked d feast to celebrate sol invinctus.
For d rest, i no get your time.

Boomark: Anthonypeters, just ask them who are the saints they pray to and you will see them stammer. discuss Rev 12 with them and they will insult you and bolt away in v6. Christ is the mediator between God and Man. It must be a Man. be it a man praying to God direct or a man praying for 200 men, it must surely be prayers of men not spirits or dead people. with Christ at the center.

Mary has never asked and received anything on behalf anybody who prayed. the people at the wedding in cana went to Christ and asked and they received.
Anthony, you made a very beautiful choice.

@ bookmark the above is what you wrote! So tell me which people at cana went to Jesus and recieved?

Hehehb

I guess you went to an anti orthodox site to get your pictures. I no get time to discuss symbolism in orthodoxy but i go beg you make you take out some time to do your research not just paste picture without context.

ijawkid: No you should stop playing this charade and answer the question....what is easter and what connection does our holy master (Jesus) have with easter........maybe eaostre dey turn your eye..............

you really have a problem with languages!
