ijawkid: Now the point of the witnesses is that until ressurection occurs,nobodys soul roves about to heaven or a burning furnace.....

Even Jesus had to spend 3days in hell(sheol) b4 he was ressurected.....his soul as being taught by many today didn't run out to some place....he experienced ressurection........

That is what the bible teaches........

The bible teaches ressurection not immortality of the soul....

Jesus says in the end many will hear his voice and rise up......why not wait till that time rather than teach that mans soul is immortal.....that's why the questions surrouding lazarus's death and ressurection arises......

You see the point??
some funny stuff happened wen christ died, d so called dead rose with their bodies matt27vs 52. So wu is saying no one has risen b4 d general resurrection??

frosbel: No surprise here , another catholic offshoot denying that JESUS Christ is the Messiah.

Logicboy03: lol......the catholic church is the first institution to condemn slavery? Are you trolling? cheesy


The catholic church was one of the main proponents of slavery. Even your pope has confessed and apologised for the church's involvement in slavery.



I never said that bad priests make the church a bad institution. It is evil doctrine that makes the catholic church evil. Your church has documented support for slavery and efforts to conceal child abuse. Slavery is in your bible and was a part of your church's doctrine./
most times logicboy, i consider u a bad joke, but most times u make assumptions u cant sustain. This is sicut dudem http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Eugene04/eugene04sicut.htm can u provide any religion in d western world that condemn slavery before that date? Besides slavery isnt part of catholic doctrine.

Boomark: Some English words are sweet when you are practicing them. Debunking and rebuttal are two of them.

Even after judgement, you don't know if he(Christ) will still be a subject and also equal to his God who will be all in all. All you know is that he sits at the right hand of the Father. Am glad you even know that one.

Boomark: Have you heard some thing like this before "every water is liquid but not every liquid is water." I want you to start thinking like that atimes.

Go back to chemistry and learn separation techniques. Then you can now tell which one is prayer and which one is praise.
hahaha, and praise isnt prayer?? Now i know u are incapable of the truth. It is a waste of time to discuss with you.

Ihedinobi: Excuse me, but I don't think this is correct in response to Mr Anony. In the discussion, you must communicate and sometimes it is necessary to mirror your discussant's discussing behavior to show what's wrong with it. And in this context, my twin did the exact right thing for effective communication. You will find that Paul and Jesus used this skill too.
i totally understand u and i blive bro anony totally understands me. I have been on this forums for a short time but i have learnt wen people esp frosbel(no offence) becomes interested in throwing scriptures they do so that they may comfortably acuse d other of heresy and to make a scene for d onlookers. The other party is made to look like a fool wu doesnt know his onions, d moment you start throwing back ur own scripture d discussion breaks down and everybody goes his own way. The person wu made d most convicing case is thought to be stupid d person with the greatest number of followers win.
If u think i'm lying go through the past threads on nairaland, at present i'm trying to distance myself from such and simply stand as a spectator.

seriallink: Oh, Christ gave John the prophecy of his second birth right? 'BORN TWICE' very good! Brah, you err! Those are end time prophecies, they have nothing to do with Mary & the birth of Christ!

And for what you posted up there regarding the queen of heaven, I'm coming back for it.
hahaha, i didnt say anything abt "second birth" that is a creation of ur mind and i hope it isnt retard. I ask u again, wu was the child?? Just give me a straight answer and stop wasting my time.

seriallink: But you do know that 'queen of heaven' is one of Mary's many titles given to her by the catholic Pope right? Is that also scriptural? *Smh*
Edit: BTW, that title has pagan origin in the book of Jeremiah 7:18 and 44:15-18. So, why was it given to mary huh?
before u shake ur head i will speak.
I have noticed that wen protestand are faced with a discussion on marian teachings they just scream "queen of heaven is pagan" that is a joke of an excuse. Dan 2:37 call d pagan king nebuchadnezzar "king of kings" does that mean that wen u call Jesus King of kings u are talking abt nebuchadnezzar? No! As Jesus is different from nebuchanezar so is mary separate from d gods ishtar.
Now here come d 1mil question, y is mary call a queen at all talkless of queen of heaven? To sum protestants suprises they may find that queen of heaven is a short form of the full title "queen of heaven and earth". Now how manage?? I wont jump into this, pope pius xii was known 2 hv used d title i would ask him what he meant and he clearly explained d meaning of d title in his writting called "ad caeli reginam" he said "certainly in d full and strict sense of d term only Jesus christ...is King but mary too as moda of d divine christ, as associate in redemption, his struggle with d enimies and his final victory over them has a share, though in a limited and analogous way in his royal dignity"
that is why in rev 12 she has a crown of 12 stars d stars symbolising d new israel with 12 apostles.
Really?? Well ps45vs6-11 esp 9 shows a queen in d new kingdom of christ. Why mary?? Jesus didnt marry so why marry? A little history will shed light In d davidic kingdom kings had more than one wife and d place of d queen (since there are many queens) is taken by d moda of d king, jer13:18 shows d prophet warning d queen moda(wu has a crown) and d king instead of d queen and d king. D queem moda has a type of authority in d kingdom cos she can really make request 1 kgs2:17, she even has a thone at d right hand of d king 1 kgs2:19,20.
So yes my dear friends if christ is king of heaven and earth i do blive mary to be in a "limited and analogous sense" to be queen and yes that is why she wears d crown in rev12. So i conclude that while d explicit title is in d bible just as d wor bible isnt either, the teaching that d title pass across is truly biblical.
Peace.
Christianity Etc › Re: Paganism And Catholicism: Sun Worship Symbols by Ubenedictus(m): 5:13pm On Nov 05, 2012
To d request made by serial i wish to respond. First who is d sonhuh rev12v5 says she brought forth a male child wu is to rule all d nations with a rod of iron that is a direct ref to psalm 2vs9 that say "he will rule(break) them with a rod of iron" and ps2vs7 and heb1vs5 confirms that that "male child" is Jesus. Does anyone disagree?? Then check rev19vs13-15 and see that the child is Jesus. Is anyone still disputing that?? Or is there another person wu ascended to God nd his throne??
The next question is: Wu then is the woman?? gal4:4 says: ...God sent forth his son born of a woman wow! It is getting interesting. Is7:14 tell us "a young woman (virgin) will bear a son" matt 1, 2and luk 2:6,7 say the woman is mary.
Now i assert that by d witness of scriptures d child is Jesus and d woman is mary his mum.
B4 i end i wish to draw a parallel btw d happening in rev and d life of mary.
Rev 12 say d dragon wanted to devour d boy.
matt2vs13 says herod wanted to distroy Jesus.
Rev 12 say d woman flee to a d wilderness
matt2vs13,14 say mary and co flee to egypt ofcourse thru d wilderness.
Now this is where i wish to pause, i believe to an open mind i have shown how d woman and son of rev12 correspond to Jesus and mary.
Peace.

ijawkid: Please can you write out verbatim what you say when you use the rosary and let's compare it with the words of praise the 24 elders /the living creatures render to the almighty??...

And let's also find out if they were using prayer beads up there in heaven.....

I tire for ona....
the ingenious ijawkid and his gymnastics. U guys said it is totally wrong to REPEAT prayers, we showed u that prayers are repeated in scriptures now u are diving to d meaning of d prayers and d types.
U see what i mean wen i say u are ingenious?

ijawkid: Does using the rosary sound like the truth to your ears??......
yeah

Only pagans use beads in worship and in prayer.....

Or are you a muslim??.....
before christ only pagans believed that a being from heaven could take human flesh. Does that mean that christ is fake? Why is ur logic alway defective?

Boomark: Where did angels repeat a prayer continuously? I want to learn.

He repeated it a prayer 3x in a space how many seconds for how minutes. He went further and prayed again. Didn't you see that.
Do you know what it means to pray without ceasing? Why not claim that its what you guys.

Am sure He knows why He called them heathen, of which you can't exonerate catholics from no matter how hard you try. They worst is that the vain repetition is even a prayer to Mary.
open ur bible to rev, u will find them doing their "holy,holy holy" yet u are telling me that any repetition is pagan.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by Ubenedictus(m): 3:51pm On Nov 05, 2012
Boomark: Do you know how to pray?

Go and read our Lords prayer. You can find it in mt 6:9-13.
even in d lords prayer there is 'prayer of praise" there. What is "hallowed b thy name" if it isnt praise? So in ur village praise isnt a type of prayer?

Boomark: Do you not understand what He meant when He said do not use vain repetitions as the heathens do. He sounded anti-catholic here and upon that called their likes HEATHEN.
my bibo shows me that d angel repeat a prayer continously, am happy to pray like them. If u want to sed paganism in every thing u shuld convict Jesus, he repeated one prayer 3x

plappville: The Jesus on thier cross and photo has long hair, and the bible says it is a shame for a man to have long hair.

See contradition fot Catholics.. grin grin grin grin

1 Corinthians 11:14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

If Apostle Paul saw Jesus with Long hair, He wouldn't use this words.
hahaha, u need a simple greek lexicon to understand what is translated as "long hair". Samson had long hair he wasnt going about in shame and so do nazirites, d word translated as "long hair" is actually feminine is forbides keeping a womans hair not just "long hair". It actually forbides u from weaving ur hair and such.

plappville: My bros, i no be prophet ooo, Like bros Ijewkid sated, we must use scripture to match scripture to arrive at not perfect but almost perfect conclusion.
Scripture speaks for scriptures. So let me try to break down my previews comments that brought up all these questions grin grin grin.

If you check in few OT chapters you will see tht "Israel or Jeruselem or Zion mostly represent as a "woman"
See Isaiah 54:1-6, jere 3:20, Eze 16:8-14 also Hosea 2:19-20

In Joseph's vision it was eleven stars, because Joseph was not among them he was the dreamer.
But in the sign with the Revelation woman with twelve stars, Joseph is now included in the other tribes of Israel.

So the woman is Israel while the twelve stars represent the twelve tribes. God uses this symbols to communicate something to us.

We must not forget that John clearly says this is a sign/wonder, so we shouldn't expect this to be literally on earth.
That is why i agreed with @Ijewkid when He said:

The woman cannot also be the church as i used to believe it was, because in regard to the birth of the church.
Christ is the one that gave birth to the church not the other way around. As long as the woman does not point at Mary, she must be Israel.

There are only two who could gave birth to Jesus, Mary or Israel. When you take a deep look at the rest of Reve.. 12,
you will find out that This woman is truelly Israel. Revelation 12 has a great similarity with Joseph's dream.

I know you know quit sure who the Dragon represents. And also the male child, The Angel Michael,
The woman's offspring, and the beast out of the earth, the Beast out of the sea etc..

If u ve something to improve do it please, i welcome a sincere correction comment in this aspect of my life.
as regards d bolded it is just u preconcieved idea because u are afriad to associate d prophecy with mary. If i Match scripture with scripture i arrive at mary. Try it.

(Usually I don't argue like this but it appears that it is the only way you can understand)

Well, since we are throwing verses today, here's one for you.

Revelations 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

This a prophesy of what must happen to satan.

He shall be thrown into the lake of fire and shall be TORMENTED FOREVER.

If you don't believe this prophesy from God, it means you are forming your own belief.[/quote]pls dont do this, throwing scriptures around never helps a discussion at d end sum1 is accusing d oda of heresy and vice versa, pls keep d scripture flowing dnt throw them abt.

That is just my problem...

Can't you guys for once think independently out of the pagan BOX....??

Must you always follow follow pagans everywhere they go like a lost puppy to adopt/hijack there practices.......??...

I don't know what to call catholics anymore....

To show you that paganism has become your tradition,if you don't count beads it seems your prayers aint complete.....

You must count beads,make the ""cross"" sign,pray through mary while you look at her image.....etc....

If this is not ""JUJU"" I wonder what it is...

There is no difference between you and a buddhist....

Shikena!!!!!....
actually so far u are d person wu have been thinking in the "pagan BOX". U are d person wu says beads are pagan because budha used them, 25 is pagan because sun worshippers used that dat and sunday too. After seeing "pagan, pagan pagan" in everything u still have d effontry to talk abt a pagan box?
I just noticed dat ur anti-catholic campaign isnt yielding fruits except to show me how superstitious u are. U may want to try ur luck here: www.catholicanswersforum.com mayb u wil find new convert there. I wil try to keep off ur arguement u argue with a closed mind and simply repeat some old stories u were told over and over again.
