What's the name of your parish in the east?

St Gabriel Catholic Church... should I add the location?

Donjazzy12:
The pope is not a Christian please. We do not worship the same God. He is an occultist, because no genuine Christian can ever fault Trump from moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem and declaring same the capital of Isreal.

keep quiet about things you don't understand, Jerusalem is a gun powder keg people use as a war excuse. what trump did was to make a bad situation worse and was immediately condemned by the UN among others.


the Coptic Orthodox just also issued condemnation.

this is an international problem keep quiet and learn until u understand

skydancer:
What you are looking for is simple. When the poor widow gave all she had in the synagogue, Christ said she gave the most. That single comment recognizes that she did indeed give to God.

Concerning the Bible passage you quoted. If you do this, you are also right. But remember that there are bachelors too.
And don't forget the verses 27 to 29



Those last parts obviously mean that we should recognize the established priests. Abraham in his own time, recognized generously the priest of God very generously who blessed him greatly. Don't forget that this same Deutronomy was also watered down because of the people. Priests these days don't live the priests of the old days where one can comfortably say they do not have enough. Instead they go around in Flashy cars and buy jets. This is of course frowned against in the Catholic Church.

even the passage you quoted clearly says the tithe for priest happens once every 3 years, and it isn't for the priest alone but be for both the levites the foreigners, the widows and orphans

Good morning all, happy feast of immaculate conception

You guys need to clap for me. I went for confession yesterday from work and some dude on the queue called me over and started advising me on how its wrong for me to wear trousers for confession. that I am a woman. that he is only trying to help me. I was tempted to abuse him thoroughly, infact i wanted to take his head and hit the chair. I was already reaching towards him with anger in my heart and soul, opening my mouth to curse his generations past and present when the Holy Spirit broke through and calmed me down.

It has to have been the Holy Spirit because at that moment i was seeing red and i just wanted blood. But i remembered a conversation on how a lot of people have not accepted change going on around them in the world and then i calmed down.

God saved me from myself

Have a nice day

no vex too much, the issue of dressing to Church is touch and go in many parishes both in Africa, and even outside our continent. Many will argue vigorously and with good reasons that a formal outfit is best for Church as it reflects the dignity of worship...others don't mind either way.... It is not usually a question of accepting change... I guess that guy has sisters who wear trousers... it is usually phrased as a question of what is most appropriate.

There is also a problem when people inadvertently set themselves up as a 1man advice giving committee, such persons end up passing judgement on issue they are not fully aware of...rash judgement is what sets in.

my parish in the east have a formal dressing outlook most times but from time to time like during stations of the Cross and confessions where most people jump out of work just to make it to Church you'll find a good number on their trousers and body hugging shirt, nobody bats an eye because you'll have to understand where their coming from.


some times it isn't prudent to throw advice... maybe I'll keep this in mind.

babestell:
Good Afternoon all.

I used to be a member here.

So Italo lost his dad a few months ago don't know if anyone posted it here.

All has been well with me. Even though i must confess I have been lukewarm in the practice of my faith. Its become mechanical so to say. Yes I go morning mass, regular confession but that deep burning desire to love God is gone, plus i dont pray or read my bible or say my rosary as often. i think that makes me officially a sinner.

My mechanic who i liked so much died on 4th of November and i didn't find out till 30th. so much for liked so much. My junior brother has been struggling at school and i have blocked him. But if i die now there will always be that regret so i better unblock him.

Also since i am still unmarried, and 35 is almost here, i have decided to get pregnant. its so funny that there are many candidates who want to help you get preggy but don't want to marry you. Because the process of getting preggy is a sin, i guess i am going to be spiritually lukewarm for another year.

So yeah....now you cant say you dont know whats up in babestell's life

you ARE a member here.

...eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them...
we have to do more here to remember ourselves.


I almost commented on the updates you shared above but it seems God is telling me "shut up uben, you have no idea. she is my child, my beloved and I myself will lead her."
that is how I know you'll be alright and decisions and circumstances will work in your favour.

be at peace.

Syncan:
Congrats SalC, you just won an airtime of 1k from fada Kristimas. Send number and network please .

salC just dey shine

KingSango:
The empire of Rome never fell instead it morphed into the great harlot of the Roman Catholic Church and all its denominations that hail Serapis Cristos aka Jesus Christ. The Vatican Priests control all Freemasons. And do not tell me you don't know the Freemasons were behind WW1&2. If you do that our conversation has no purpose.


Ase

Love Sango

do you even know that to belong to a masonic group means automatic excommunication for a Catholic.

SalC:
But we don't sell people here. This is a Catholic home

lol, so u never read the story of Joseph? who sell am?

Beosten:
Orisala's priest is also the one in charge of Orisaoko here. I saw one deity's barricaded house in Obajio's compound but I don't know its name.

My mother's father was the Jagun-Osin chief - I don't know what that means till today. During Orisala's festival, rain usually disperse people towards the end of the festival when those songs are sung. You hear such lines as 'heavy rain destroyed elebure's house, and he became homeless.' Oloodua would do certain initiation for the king at crowning and must not meet the king again till death.

interesting enough there is a priest in Bini who plays a part in the coronation process and after that won't see the king ever again, they can't even be in the same village.

liohan:
The problem with Nigerians especially the educated ones is that history seems to be a non-existent event.
First, that folklore is a made up one. No Benin man believes that shit. Benin likely migrated from the Noks, many of their art and metal works show that.
Then the other issue here, which is whether Ijaw residence have the right to constitute a ruler over their domain.
Legitimately, there is nothing wrong with that. Gele-Gele might not be Benin land. Because at the height of its power Benin Kingdom extend to present day Togo. Gele-Gele, The region around Edo, Delta and Kogi States were vassal states to Benin with many of them claiming origin from Benin.
Whether the Ijaws in Gele-Gele migrated to the region or they are aborigines. Living there for centuries have made them owners of the land. Note that it is this same issue that is the bone of contention between Israel and Palestine, the former argues that they lived in the land before the Arabs and the Turks expelled them from the land.
Besides, where would people who have lived in an area for centuries mass-evacuate to?
Is it that they should not have a leader over themselves because of a traditional folk tale that is centuries old? Bleep that! Benin should also tell Lagos not to have an Oba because Lagos was once a colony.
After all this we should know that except Benin becomes a country, all lands belongs to Nigeria. Lands that have no direct ownership except on the mouths of folk tale tellers, should not be an avenue for a bigger group to lord over a smaller one.

legitimately you can't wake up one morning and declare yourself king on another mans land.

samuelezekiel:
Maybe that's the intention, we Yorubas prostrate to greet our elders to show respect just like saluting and the rest of its like that doesn't mean we are worshipping them... The point is bowing down to a carved image,, take note of the word carved a d image. The ark is not an image, it is said to even contain the tablet for the ten commandments, the rod of Aaron and the manna they ate in the desert.

the ark also has images of the cherubim.


The Bible also says to bow before the temple, any body who has read the old testament knows the temple contains images., carved images.

it is not the posture or the images that constitute worship, worship comes from the heart.

lol,

that moment when the picture for a warning against pedophile is a Catholic Pope kissing an artistic depiction of an infant Jesus... just wow.

analize701:
Pls open a thread for just two of us to talk about it, i can do it if you promise to debate it.

I can't promise to be on your thread, Catholics are entering advent which means I'll be spending more time on my spiritual life and less on nairaland. I'll answer you here, if you wish to argue that tithing is a divine law applicable in the new testament then do so here.

plainbibletruth:
Lapsarianism is a technical word.

Notice I said BIBLICAL LAPSARIANISM.

it is still the same thing, the only difference is that you think the the teachings of Beza and co has biblical support. just as those who are in the branch of Calvinism that teach unconditional predestination think theirs is biblical.

brocab:
Did you write this all for me?
Are you mistaken, the bible was translated from the Latin language to every language across every nation. 1611 version..
You had named all these other bibles,to start some sort of an silly argument that you know yourself, they were written in other languages, that half the world couldn't understand, until the 1611 version was written in all languages.

sorry you are very ignorant, the 1611 version was in English only, I.e KJV was not in all languages.

there were already bibles in different kinds of languages all through the world, these languages were vernacular to many countries and a translation in the ligua franca common to all of Europe. So 99% of all educated people all had bibles in a language they can read.

This wouldn't have happened, if the Catholic Church wasn't secretive about their own agenda's.
[color=#000099]Why is it Uben, you always seem to come at me, I am not here to argue with you, I am only here to tell the truth.
Anything about everything, that history had said about the past, is written everywhere, but still you are trying to prove me wrong about every thing.
The story about the Catholic Church, they weren't to interested in these other earlier bibles written back in time, the answer to this is easy, these old country manuscripts bibles were written in a different language, the Catholic Church didn't feel threaten by these bibles, only because they knew it took only the few to understand them in their own country, "Plus no-one in other countries could understand the different languages anyway, back then it was rare to see a child in school, let alone to learn bible literature , "unless the parents were rich, and a child could learn these different languages elsewhere.
To be honest try reading different languages back then is trying to understand the Latin language in Church now. Without the right teachings who can understand these many different languages from different countries.
The 1611 was written because they knew the Catholic Church disagreed with the Word of God, can't you see, the Church still refuses God's Word today, it was only the certain few that was taught who knew how to understand the scriptures, they themselves took their stand for Christ.
Can't you see, the manuscripts were written for all man kind, it wasn't their to be hidden away by Rome, these men risked their lives for you and I, so we could share in God's blessings, just as well as everybody else who chooses to believe in Christ.
Prayer opens doors, and God opened up a doorway so we can enjoy His Word and live the way He expected us to live.. Praise the Lord for evermore.
Think about it, would you do this to help save a nation in Christ, Uben?

nobody hid bibles that is a conspiracy theory your Protestant sites told you. apart from bibles in ligua franca of Europe, there were bibles in the vernacular, in German, Slav, etc. but the fact is anyone who could read at all could read Latin. there was hardly any need for the so called 1611 version

Blue3k:
Why is this guy on the run if all this is true stand your ground in court. You keep running awsy lile guilty man. Then tell these long tales. These guys in buharis government are corrupt abd if buhari is provento had knowledge get rid of him.

the guy has already stood in court and he won it all, read the article.

KingSango:
The Roman Catholic Priests created Islam and wrote the Quran. Thanks for sharing this research.

what next, the Catholic Church also began WW I abi?


conspiracy theories

solite3:
thank God you know but you need to find a bible believing church so you can worship God in truth catholic church do not teach the truth.
Do you know every christian who believes in Jesus is a priest?

of course Catholic Church teaches that every Christian is a priest.

and the Catholic Church is a Bible believing Church.

hurricaneChris:
Ehmm, Isn't this the legendary "fada Chrismas" we've all been expecting, or are we still expecting another one?

una don begin to sell me

johnw74:
of course Jesus flesh is real,
and he said eat thereof and live forever,
and you uben haven't a clue what that means,
you think you have to literally eat Jesus to live forever, ha ha such a duh

(Joh 6:47) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
(Joh 6:50) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

eat of Jesus and not die = believe on Jesus and have everlasting life

take all of you and eat it, this is my body.

my flesh is real food.


I am surprised you can't even seen what is before your every nose.

Emmanystone:
Hahahahahahahahahaha. I'd ve taken you seriuos if you had said the RCC wrote the Bible. Gerarahia.

I took you seriously even though I knew your religion was invented by men in the 16th century... because you are a human created by God for the redemption he won and still gives, and you deserve the fullness of truth he gave to his Church not the half baked stuff invented in the 16th century by men who weren't the apostles.

analize701:
Let's do this. Pls enlighten me on what Hebrews Chapter 7 is saying, what is the relevance of the teaching in the life of a believer and how it shd apply in our lives and work/walk with Christ.

Shd i open a thread on this, so that others can benefit?

oh that chapter tells us about the high priesthood of Christ.


you can try telling me how it equals a command to pay tithe.

Nodogragra4me:
The man who received your scapular revelation from your Mary is not one of your saints but a mindless murderer that John Paul went to csnnonised but was bogdown by protest by indigenous people for the man's humanity and his sins wasn't good enough for the sainthood of your church


Why then did your church accept such ridiculous message that a brown pirceofcloth can get one into heaven

the man who received the scapular revelation is called st Simon stock, pope John xxii was never canonized by anyone.


the Church doesn't teach that a piece of cloth gets you to heaven, she allows one to teach a "belief of Mary's aid and prayerful assistance for wearers of the Brown Scapular that live and die in the state of grace, observe chastity according to their state in life, and live a life of prayer and penitence".


so you have to live righteously and die in righteousness and in chastity to get to heaven and this life and participation in the prayers of the Carmelite through the scapular also means those in heaven will keep cheering for u and praying with you esp Mary.

I am surprised you think the Church teaches that a Brown cloth take u automatically to heaven.

Nodogragra4me:
What does ....infallibity in faith or moral ....mean to you.



The word used by the Catholic Church is exaltation not exulted. Both Carry's different meaning ...why are you now doctoring their word

it is a typo I made, I'll correct it.



you should start from the beginning, read up the indefectibility of the church

Nodogragra4me:
You stated that it is in doctrinal issues.

exactly, faith and morals ex cathedra

Nodogragra4me:
If there is generational blessing and curse there must be generational sin ..eg Adams and Eve


Or you are going to approach heaven and inform Jesus that he had no reason to have died because you don't know Jack about Adam

there is original sin not generational sin

The one who sins is the one who will die. The child
will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the
parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness
of the righteous will be credited to them, and the
wickedness of the wicked will be charged against
them.

ez 18:20.

Nodogragra4me:
What is the name of the sin ...every sin in the scripture can be summarize .....Adam is sin of disobedience...what is the name of the sin of the Catholic Church against Christians who refused the idea of an infallible pope, who believe that the Mary making the rounds is not from heaven but Rev 17 ... Because her messages as recorded by your church had no and still has no scriptural support

the Catholic Church doesn't sin... Catholics sin

correct yourself.


I should also ask you, what is the sin of Protestants who murdered Catholics just because they rejected the heresy called Protestantism?

...

Nodogragra4me:
A simple Google check would have revealed whether a pope was imprisoned upon removal from office or not. ..in the link you sent me I read where your church stated that they are building their own version of history to combat that of their victims...

not John xxii, he wasn't imprisoned,

you can quote where the link says so

Emmanystone:
I need to hear you say RCC wrote the Bible. Canonizing doesn't make it theirs.

The irony is, they Canonized it, yet knows nothing about or rather abandoned what they canonize to follow the traditions of men.

Enjoy your idolatry.

enjoy your bibliolatry, heresy and Protestantism.


to canonized the Bible means there will be no Bible at all without the Catholic Church. in case you don't know, you guys are jjc when it comes to studying and applying scriptures, we canonized the Bible it is our prized possession, we can't abandon it, we never abandon it, it is divine revelation..

samuelezekiel:
That's not worshipping, he and the elders were remorseful, did you see the part where they tore their cloth and sprinkled dust on their heads?

you have helped Catholics to make there point, not all prostration denote worship.
