NaijaChild: @op..since u feel that ure the one serving God the right way,I thought that it is written in the Holy bible(compiled by the catholic church) that you should not judge??

Y nt concentrate on how to answer ur query on judgement day then bothering about others??..

stop deceiving urself and others about this bible compiling thing. if the rcc compiled d bible, why are they living contrary to the bible?

frankben: OP, I'm sorry to say this but












You're undisputably a Compound FOOL

many people who have left d roman catholic were once like u. they talked the way u are doing now but later realised that it was because of their blindness and ignorance.

the time is short and coming of the son of man is at hand. the signs are all over the place. the question is, what are the roman catholic members waiting for before they do the needful i.e repent and surrender their life to Jesus.

they have been warned against the danger of worshipping Mary instead of Jesus yet they would not listen.

they have been told to purge themselves of their idols yet they continue to bow and worship them.

they have been warned of the dangers of teaching heresy such as purgatory, baptism of infants, confession of sins to a human priest and many more but they would not listen.

they should know that they have no excuse cos they have been warned several times about all this things. i pray God will open their eyes to the truth so that they will be saved.

Revelation 13:1-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw
a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded
to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and
all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the
beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and
power was given unto him to continue forty and
two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them: and power was
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and
nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of
life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be
killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the
faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of
the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and
he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth
in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by
the means of those miracles which he had power
to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them
that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image
of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads;
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for
it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 16:13-16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the
earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk
naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Revelation 19:20
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him,
with which he deceived them that had received
the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
his image. These both were cast alive into a lake
of fire burning with brimstone.
As you can read in the above scriptures, Satan
and his demons will be defeated. For the
Christian, the victory is already won.
The Christian is given many warnings against and
descriptions of occult practices in the Bible. If we
do not keep our eyes on Jesus and continue to
study His Word, we can very easily fall into the
deception described in the above scriptures.
Remember to check everything against the Word
and test the spirits to see if they are of God. That
is the only protection available to the Christian.

could not read the writing, nor make known to

countenance be changed:

father light and understanding and wisdom, like
the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom
the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I
say, thy father, made master of the magicians,

12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and
knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of
dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and
dissolving of doubts, were found in the same

let Daniel be called, and he will shew the

that Daniel, which art of the children of the
captivity of Judah, whom the king my father
brought out of Jewry?

gods is in thee, and that light and understanding
and excellent wisdom is found in thee.

been brought in before me, that they should read
this writing, and make known unto me the

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish; because they received not the
love of the truth, that they might be saved.

not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
1 Timothy 4:1-8
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart from the faith,

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their
conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to
abstain from meats, which God hath created to
be received with thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing
to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and
prayer.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of
these things, thou shalt be a good minister of
Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith
and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast
attained.

life that now is, and of that which is to come.

together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and
Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched
in Gilboa.

he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord
answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by
Urim, nor by prophets.

woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go
to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said
to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a
familiar spirit at Endor.

raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and
they came to the woman by night: and he said, I
pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit,
and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto
thee.
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou
knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut
off those that have familiar spirits, and the
wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest
thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As
the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen
to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up
unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried
with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul,
saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art
Saul.
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for
what sawest thou? And the woman said unto
Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And
she said, An old man cometh up; and he is
covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it
was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the
ground, and bowed himself.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou
disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul
answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines
make war against me, and God is departed from
me, and answereth me no more, neither by
prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called
thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what
I shall do.
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou
ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee,
and is become thine enemy?
17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake
by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of
thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to
David:
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the
Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon
Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing
unto thee this day.
19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with
thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to
morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the
Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the
hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the
earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words
of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for
he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the
night.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that
he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold,
thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have
put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto
thy words which thou spakest unto me.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also
unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a
morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou
mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy
way.
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his
servants, together with the woman, compelled
him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he
arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house;
and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and
kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread
thereof:
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his
servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up,
and went away that night.

as long as fornication is still in d bible, it is a sin.

Roman Catholics who read the Bible
will soon discover that many Catholic
teachings and practices are
specifically forbidden by Jesus Christ
Himself. Worship is vain when it is
based upon the commandments of
men rather than the Word of God.
Valid tradition is based upon
Scripture and confirms it. Vain
tradition is based upon man's
teachings and violates it. In Roman
Catholicism, tradition is consistently
elevated above the Scripture. The
result is vain worship, and no matter
how sincere, it makes the
commandment of God of no effect –
a very serious matter.
The last few popes have expanded
the ecumenical (worldwide)
emphasis in the Roman Catholic
Church to unprecedented heights. All
unity purchased at the expense of
doctrinal purity is satanic and
deceptive. II Corinthians 6:14-18;
Ephesians 5:11; II Timothy 3:1-17,
4:1-8. All who join hands in
ecumenical fellowship with those
who preach a false Gospel are under
God's curse. (Galatians 1:6-10)
People do not realize that counterfeit
religions, like counterfeit money,
must resemble the genuine in order
to deceive those who lack spiritual
discernment or those who have not
had the opportunity or taken the time
to carefully compare all the major
tenets of Roman Catholicism with the
truth of God's Word. Only when one
compares men's words with Scripture
will it become obvious that Roman
Catholicism is a carefully crafted
counterfeit, not the pure, genuine,
Biblical faith.
Jesus Christ plainly taught that Mary
was on the same plane with all other
Christians who would do the will of
God. In Mark 3:31-35 we read:
"There came then his brethren and
his mother, and, standing without,
sent unto him, calling him. And the
multitude sat about him, and they
said unto him, Behold, thy mother
and thy brethren without seek for
thee. And he answered them, saying,
Who is my mother, or my brethren?
And he looked round about on them
which sat about him, and said,
Behold my mother and my brethren!
For whosoever shall do the will of
God, the same is my brother, and my
sister, and mother. "
Do not avoid the truth here on the
authority of Jesus Christ, "Whosoever
shall do the will of God, the same is
my brother, and my sister, and
mother." And when one heard Jesus
and cried out, "Blessed is the womb
that bare thee, and the paps which
thou hast sucked, "Jesus answered,
"Yea rather, blessed are they that
hear the word of God, and keep
it." (Luke 11:27-28) There is no hint
in the Bible that New Testament
Christians ever regarded Mary as
more than a good woman. She had
no authority among the apostles. No
one was taught to pray to her, to do
her homage, to adore her, or to
partake of the unscriptural worship
which Catholics do, but call it by
other names.
To deny that Roman Catholicism is a
cult is to repudiate the reformation
and mock the millions of martyrs who
died at Rome's hands. The "Christ" of
Roman Catholicism is just as false
as its "Mary." Remember that a cult
according to the Word of God is any
group of people that worship
anything or anyone other than Jesus
Christ, and believe anything contrary
to His word as recorded in the Bible.
Roman Catholicism is not truly
Christian, but is in fact an offshoot of
Christianity and the largest and
oldest "Christian" cult in the world. In
addition, the display of adoration, the
gaudy parade of a mere man as if he
were a god, the pandering to
idolatrous worship through bowing
down and kissing his ring, the
insistence that he be addressed as
"His Holiness the Pope" or "Father"
of all Christians cannot but confirm
to any Christian that the Roman
Catholic church is a cult.

op u are right. i dnt even need all this write up to know dat d RCC is fake. deceiving and leading people to hell.

jesus was sinless because his conception wasn't through sexual intercourse. d bible said all have sinned including mary hence need a saviour.

italo: Why should I leave a pic that proves that protestants enslave themselves to sheets of paper instead of worshipping God in truth and spirit?

Do protestants ignore pictures when they want to use them to malign Catholics?

do u think at all before typing? what nonsense!

d accusation is false. d wife is just being silly.

mayojaspa: I applied once at unilorin, had 2:1, I finished from unilorin, I had 64% in their postutme but not offered admission, I was later told chemistry is no longer among the course they consider for medicine. that statement was from the current DVC academics of unilorin.( prof.

barcanista: Are they the only "poor" group? Why call Africa when this vice is majorly a South Eastern thing? We need to hold the bull by the horn. As long as I know, its desperate and GREEDY people that value money over EVERYTHING that engage in such madness. It has NOTHING to do with poverty. There are "poor" people everywher. The people that engages in such are evil and wicked, there community MUST condemn it and nip it to the bud than "pamper". They deserve PUNISHMENT with HARD LABOUR

u mean the ibos or igbos?

onetrack: Every person that your god sends to hell is just more proof that he is a failure as a creator. (But of course he and his hell do not exist)

u will know if there is hell when u die in ur sins.

SPLiTZ1: Correct at op Catholic are idol worshipers

onetrack: Absolutely false. In fact on one of the flights I was reading the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins....

u ought to thank God for his mercies upon ur life. U wud hv gone expressly to hell if u had died.

Lucario007: OP please if you have nothing better to do than spout about the hypocrisy of athiests here and cause a needless argument, go and read your buy-bull.

I've heard of a story from my neighbors in which a girl who was crossing the road, she tripped and fell. A large lorry was coming in behind her, and apparently she yelled 'Jesus!'

Those where the last words she uttered.

She had enough time to have rolled out of the way, but instead settled to shout out the name as though it would do any good.
Shouting out the name 'Jesus' when in mortal peril has the same effect as trying to dodge a grenade thrown at point-blank range.

Absolutely pointless.
Am sure many of those who were diagnosed with Ebola pray and fast and cry to thier 'creator' each day to be cured. Yet, they still die.

ur false story and ranting won't stop people from calling on d blood on blood of Jesus. I know how it has worked for me and others and beside, u hv to completely believe in Jesus before it will work for u. U hv to repent of ur sins first.
