Read my comment very carefully..
I said The Roman Catholic Church is the main offshoot of the ORIGINAL CHURCH..
I never said the Roman Catholic Church was the original church..
And no, the name Roman Catholic Church did not come about,because of Anglicans and them pulling away.
It predates that event by a few Centuries..

you can show me where the term Roman Catholic church was used some centuries before Anglicans

1Dray:
I didn't ask for any link. I'm a Christian, I believe in Christ. But 25th of December was not the day Christ was born. He wasn't even born in December? Tell me how shepherds will be tending to their flock on a cold winter night? You and I know it's not possible.

If you had read the post you would have realized that your objection was answered.
I will happily copy and paste the reply to that objection.

Reply to Objection 3: Recall that Palestine is not England, Russia, or Alaska. Bethlehem is situated at the latitude of 31.7. Dallas, Texas has the latitude of 32.8, and it’s still rather comfortable outside in December. As the great Cornelius a Lapide remarks during his lifetime, one could still see shepherds and sheep in the fields of Italy during late December, and Italy is at higher latitude than Bethlehem.

AntiChristian:
We should try and correct lies whenever possible!

If you disagree with something, the intelligent thing to do is provide reasons why you disagree. Those reasons will be looked at, accepted or rebutted with proper argument. That is how people correct "lies" not by claiming that if the thought expressed is different from yours, then the thought is being forced on you.

Nobody is forcing you, either provide a rebuttal, agree or scroll past.

Lol..
I'm not here to teach you history..
Christians were persecuted and exterminated to almost extinction..
Until a Roman Emperor adopted it as the state religion..
Do your research..
Or why do you think the main offshoot of the original church is called the Roman Catholic Church?

the original church is called "Catholic Church" not roman catholic church, it was the anglicans who added "roman" to it because the anglicans wanted to also claim to be catholic.

there was already the catholic chuch ling before it became a state religion in rome

If you don't understand me kindly do your on research, search the julian calender, the coptic calender and the gregorian calender.

these things are not hard to find, please make your own research and crosscheck before you go on the attack.

He is buried In 3 different casket. The last of them is made up of Lead ,and just why it is been Soldered away from water and moist. In the next 2000yrs all documents and remains will be Intact. Even the remains ,writing and coins used by St Peter is still intact just like this.The church keeps history's alive to strengthen the faith...
If his Signs and wonders happens in his name during intercession ,his remains will be brought out and beautified accordingly. That is how saints are made.

it not lead, its zinc and it is the middle one that is metal. the inner and outer one is wood

May his Memory be Eternal
May his Memory be a Blessing
May he find mercy in Judgement
And find the fulness of the light of God's face
Requiescat in Pace

"1.But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God, and no torment can touch them. 2.To the unenlightened, they appeared to die, their departure was regarded as disaster, 3.their leaving us like annihilation; but they are at peace. 4.If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment, their hope was rich with immortality; 5.slight was their correction, great will their blessings be. God was putting them to the test and has proved them worthy to be with him; he has tested them like gold in a furnace, and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering. 7.At their time of visitation, they will shine out; as sparks run through the stubble, so will they. 8.They will judge nations, rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king for ever. 9.Those who trust in him will understand the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love; for grace and mercy await his holy ones, and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen."

KaluwisxPRO:
Blame your African leaders. They’re not ready for accountability, that is why they choose to continue from where your colonizers stopped.

If they want to be accountable to their people, they will ditch the west and heaven will not fall. Nigeria is too well positioned in the world and Africa to be ignored by the west.

But of course, your leaders are still bedfellows with their masters, so they won’t.

you still seem to be unable to hear, Cuba has one of the highest reserves in the world it was ignored for years and you think same can't happen to Nigeria.

There is no options except continuing where the colonizers stopped, it is either you continue or you are sabotage, Gadafi, Lumuba and co will tell you their stories

I will support anything that teaches African leader’s independence.

Nigeria’s oil is still owned solely by the U.S and British since they shared it amongst themselves, what has Nigeria leaders done about it??

it is good to be a student of history and world politics because if you were you would not be saying this. What do you think is the fate of any African country that thinks of Independence from the west? I only gave you the example of the former french colonies that refused the franc, they were sabotaged by franc, it is not hidden information research.

Even the Cuban problem the genesis of it was that Cuba chose to allign with the East instead of the west and till today they are still under economic sabotage.

people seat in their homes and talk about independence, they do not know what it means and the cost for poorer countries

KaluwisxPRO:
So why then is CUBA crying for an embargo Are they done fighting with their supposed helper??

The US is not stopping them from trading with others, just not with their currency.

campanies that trade in Cuba are prohibited from trading with the US. it is not about trading in the dollars, it is a full trade embargo.

An Cuba is complaining because such embargo amounts to economic sabatage, it is the same thing France did to African countries that refused to accept the French franc. It is truly unfortunate that an African will support economic imperialism, the very tool that the west uses in colonialising Africa in their neo-colonialist aims.

just the same way the west is naitonalising Russian assets. Cuba and the US were in a state of war

BabaCommander:
I don't know much about this case, but why nationalized the businesses of US citizens?

For successful US government over the years to continue the blocked, Cuba must have wronged many average Americans.

Cuba should take the first step towards settlement by paying compensation for the businesses she nationalized.

I was in Kenya about 4 weeks ago for a safari at Masai Mara. I asked questions about this election from Uber drivers to anyone I can ask. I got the sense that the election was going to be close but I thought Baba (they call Odinga Baba) was going to win.
Not surprised at all why it's this close.

yet you all broke away from catholicism, then you are all pagans

MaxInDHouse:
On the contrary Catholicism is a pagan Roman religion that sufficed after the brutal killings of all the Apostles who were pioneers of the real Christianity.
That's why right thinking individuals were PROTESTING against Catholics which led to the creation of numerous sects all claiming denominations in Christendom.
Catholics are pagans any reader can pick up the Bible and before you complete the book of Exodus you would have seen clearly that there is no correlation between the Catholics and the Bible God!

people like you will still shout one nigeria even with your tribaliatic mindset.

thanks be to God hardship knows no tribe. Did the north not vote a fellow northerner Buhari? Let them vote another one, it isn't new, the whole country will suffer together just as they suffered Buhari. If by now the north hasn't learnt to put other considerations ahead of tribe, then their mumu never do

I am sure you know what comparism is and how it work. the my tribe is the best tribe mentality is the very root cause of the tribalism and ethnic nepotism we have in Nigeria, it is the invitation of intertribal jealousy and the very thing that come before tribal conflict.

I will assume from your username that you are Igbo, that very sentiments are what causes misunderstanding among tribes

Nnaworo:
Oga there is nothing harmful in that guys submission.

There is this pride associated with the Igbo tribe which is not seen in other tribes- [b]It takes more to be a Igbo man than to be from other [/b]tribes.

You can't afford to live the life of mediocre being Igbo and it comes with a lot of financial pressure- it is this status symbol that makes the lazy ones carry hard drugs to Asia and make the hard working ones being legitimately successful men.

I'm not saying that other tribes are not unique in their own ways.

mastermaestro:
Why him dey gamble with names up and down? Is he mad or something? I need explanation. Most politicians are thieves and kings of forgeries.

I think it depends on the culture, I am multi-named and if I check some of my documents the only constant names are my surname and my first name...which is an English name. My mom named me twice, my father named me once and my grandma named me once, and religion added a last one. Those are the middle names that I could use, but in the extnded family everyone who was old enough when I was born is allowed to name me and call me the name he chose.

now in my earliest document my middle name has been either of the two selected by my mother... when I was very young she used the name I was called at home and changed it again when I changed school. Fortunately for me, I regulated all that with my primary 6, wassce, bsc, nysc and master all with the same middle name. then i did a local government registration of birth, national population commission birth certificate all reading the same middle name. that way all the documents that matter have the same middle name. I have stopped presented any document that doesn't have the exact 3 official names I currently use.

I am from the south-South and my brother probable has a similar problem, he incorporated a new middle name during his wassce... If the guy is from a similar culture, it is probably understandable.
