I have not seen where it is written in the Bible justifying the doctrine of Purgatory neither have I seen where it is written in the Bible approving the use of carved images in worshiping God. You honor Mary. That is not a crime. However, bowing before the image of Mary and asking her to intercede on your behalf is grossly unscriptural. Catholics should beware that the blindness of Israel today does not become a shared phenomenon. When God has warned through every means possible but you remain adamant, He will send a strong delusion so that seeing you will not see, hearing you will not hear. Like Kennedyugo said, eternity is not a joke. Mary was chosen to bring Jesus Christ into the world because she found favor with God. That does not exclude her from 'All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' If she did not submit herself to be used by God, another God-fearing woman would have been used. Likewise, if that one did not submit herself another woman would have been God's option. God always has substitutes. If you don't praise Him the stones, trees, ocean, grasses and all creation praise Him everyday. Mary cannot help you. She couldn't even save herself. It was her accepting Christ as her personal Lord and Saviour that earned her a ticket to heaven otherwise she would be in hell today. If she couldn't help or save herself why then do you ask her to help or save you from sin, sickness and death? What happened to Christ being your Advocate who can talk to the Father on your behalf? What happened to Christ being the only Way, the Truth and Life? Purgatory is a great deception that makes the devil smile with a great sense of achievement. Anything that is not found in the Word of God is a trap of the devil. Give me scriptures in the Gospel justifying the existence of Purgatory and I will believe you wholeheartedly. Nope. I am not out to condemn the Catholic creed or belief. As Christians we are one Body in Christ irrespective of denominations. Read the Word of God. It means just what it says. Twisting it to suit your doctrine results in the numerous heresies that has led many astray. Never forget, the Word says if, "we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed." I hope it is not too late before you realize. Peace. |
While I accept your dream as a general warning from God, I have great doubts about Linda's testimony. I mean, her testimony (from what I gathered about it) has the opposite effect of repentance from sin..it reeks of condemnation after condemnation. The conclusion of the whole matter is fear God and keep His commandments. |
I really understand this phenomenon. I am a game addict as well but the difference is that, unlike him, I strike a balance btw books and games and I am not much of a soccer fan. In fact, my peers (most have no idea I love video games much) have nicknamed me 'Prof' for my 'seeming' vast knowledge of a wide range of topics (lol..btw u and me that is classic over estimation) @ home and @ school. I am currently a Law student. My advice would be to give him a gentle nudge towards the path of adding value to himself besides his undue attachment to anything sports. No rod, no spanking, no scolding. That would only result in fostering deep resentment in him towards the disciplinarian while the source of the problem remains unaffected. In fact, if anything it worsens it. Never underestimate the power of a gentle nudge. The result will not be instantaneous but in the long run, you will be glad you did not give up if you continue to nudge him gently (not pestering him incessantly). Good luck to you. |
Lord I praise You for your mercies that never end. I thank You for your Faithfulness for they are new every morning. Glory be to Your name. |
clans: in what way is it askew, please make it straight for me. cos we say this intercessory prayer " o Mary conceived without original sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee"How can Mary have been conceived without original sin when she was a mere human like you and I? Are you implying she was born perfect like Jesus? What gave you the impression Mary was 'designed' differently from others so that the sentence, "ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God" does not apply to her? She was just a mere vessel God chose to bring His Son into the world. That was her purpose on earth. Besides that, there was nothing, I repeat, nothing supernatural or divine about Mary. She was flesh and blood and was guilty of sin like others. She was among those whom Christ came to die for their sins. God is no respecter of persons. If Mary did not accept Christ as her personal Lord and saviour she would be languishing in hell. Please do away with the notion that she was conceived without 'original sin'. The Psalmist said, "behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me |
still maintain my stand - Batman is the strongest hero....cleverest, smartest, best...none like him in the super hero world. Underestimating him has caused the downfall of greater super villains. He is super cool. |
khanivorous: Batty boi#teamBATMAN#how I love that dude. Human, unlike others, but unarguably better, and very very intelligent. That is where his strength lies. |
clans: first of all, no catholic bows down to Mary quote me, what we do is call genuflecting the same you do to your obas and you chiefs and even the average elderly Yoruba man or woman you see on the street. as for Mary being the way the truth and the life you said so yourself NO catholic has ever said that, because we are sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God we go through his mother to INTERCEDE for us on our behalf. Mary was specially conceived without original sin you and i was born with, she was specially designed as the vessel to bring the savior into this world, as for the name Mary, you are right it could as well be Martha or even chrissy3, but it wasn't . and if you say she was just a human, y weren't YOU chosen to bring the savior into the world. i beg of you change you ideology about all this things. ignorance is bliss they say but it is stupid when you base your arguments on them.. have a nice dayThe bolded is a great LIE. You have got your theology rather askew. EVERY MAN was and is conceived in sin. No man is sinless save JESUS. Please if that is what you are taught then your Catholic beliefs need overhauling. @topic, Pastor Okotie should first remove the plank in his eye before he can see clear to remove the speck in the eye of another. |
A lotta guys here are just pretentious, self-righteous prigs. Behind closed doors, they do worse than that but are the first to air their condemnation of the act in public. I don't do it but I see no wrong in it. They are not man enough to let the world know they do it and think it is right - unlike Op. |
Op, na eye wey dey waka dey see leg wey dey waka. If u dey concentrate for preaching like others shey u go see the girl? Mtcheew! Kettle calling pot black. |
Sowhizy: and this nonsense made front page...... Seun Osewa where are youLols. Truth is like Alomo Bitters. |
@ topic, Op got me really laughing hard. ![]() |
TribalEAST: Dont mind them. They go about negleting and commonising guys with 3.7 C.G.P.A in the university but embrace wholeheartedly the NO FUTURE AMBITION yahoo boys just cos they want campus respect which they think the yahoo boys can provide cos they flaunt cars, a relationship which gives them countless heartbreaks which tells on the FB status.Guy, u r 4 much. A thousand Likes for accurate observation. |
iheneme: It is always advisable to marry an individual with whom you share a lot in common. Love is not enough!So true. Let girls keep deceiving themselves, gambling on and ruining their future on the illusive belief in that abstract phenomenon called LOVE. They think love is enough. Many many are trapped in their marriages and many live wretched lives because of their ignorant faith in that concept. That is not to condemn the importance of love. No. Love should never ever be the primary reason for tying the nuptial knot with a person. In this case, if Op has a Christian lover she loves and wants to marry but is unwilling to compromise her belief, she should forget about it and look elsewhere. Love is not enough! |
It is not wise to do so. One must surrender to the other's religion. What about the kids? Whose religion should they embrace? Asking them to decide further compounds the problem. In fact, the house is built on the foundation of division. If it doesn't collapse now it will do so sometime in the future. The family unit already has enough challenges to tackle. Why invite religion-based conflicts into the household by inter-religion unions? |
At least he apologized. That's a true spirit of leadership. The apology, however, is imperfect. He should seek out the lady and offer personal apologies to her. He is not duty bound to apologize to Nigerians as long as he makes a personal apology to the lady whom he offended so. |
Fulaman198: What you speak of is utter blasphemy and bigotry to both religionsblasphemy - yes. but that is not his intention. It is a reflection of the fact that Islam's religious intolerance has engendered wanton destruction of lives and property among others. This intolerant view has alienated Islam from others. |
Fulaman198: There are easily just as many if not more 'Christian' terrorists if not more than 'Muslim' terrorists. Just because the west and other copycat nations have done an excellent job of falsely linking terrorism to Islam does not make anything they say true.I don't want to dispute that. The general tenor is the violent, brutal and intolerant nature of Islam followers/countries such that a new word has been coined 'Islamophobia'. It is not right to judge you by the actions of others but there is little you can say in defense when the bloodthirsty acts of others have gained widespread/worldwide notoriety. |
double post |
[b]I have read and tried to balance the sentences with experience. The result of this mixture is the same - Islam is THE most discriminated religion in the world. No doubt, there are peaceful Islam believers. However, they really account for nothing when weighed against the wanton destruction of lives and property caused by the violent ones. It is a very herculean effort to believe Islam is a peaceful religion when you are daily confronted with the bloody horror they wreck on the world. Moreover, even terrorists aside, there have been bloody clashes involving Islam followers and residents of communities over trivial matters bordering on their intolerance for blasphemous comments against Allah or the inappropriate use or abuse of the Koran by non-Muslims. Islam preaches peace but their action favours violence. I am not judging Islam. I have seen and I have been in the middle of some of their numerous clashes provoked by mundane and inconsequential matters that would have been easily overlooked. My point. Islam is not a religion of peace (viewed broadly). Individually, there are peaceful Islam believers. Yet, by their fruit you shall know them. The common fruit of Islam since time immemorial has always leaned towards violence and bloodshed. Radical Islamists and MANY non-radical ones are guilty of this generational trait. You can criticize me but I have had my fair share of experience which I have just laid out above. Feel free to prove or refute my opinion. [/b] |

theoctopus: Look, there is a line that should not be crossed. Those who know me here know my political inclination. But you will notice I have not mentioned anything political in my posts. This is about humanity. This is about your fellow man. This is what everyone should live for. These guys are making this case even more pathetic with their actionsI feel you. We belong to the same camp but let bygones be bygones. ![]() |
Coogar, I stand corrected. I wouldn't bet on that. You dey vex nor be small. ![]() |
theoctopus: You are an iddiot. A big iddiot. You and that foolish peckham doctor, rudedough. You low life scumbags think talking down on the less privileged is a form of sport. Sitting on your high horses because you got pecks from your rogue fathers or uncle's. You are uselessbros, you spit fire pass dragon. e af do. ![]() |
Rudedough, Coogar is a lady (I am sure). She speaks her mind just as you do yours. Heck, she took an unjust swipe at me during an argument just lyk this but I never let it run into exchange of words (that was a long time ago). I/we still get along. Why? Maturity. I respect her opinion. That's enough not to resort to unnecessary exchange of words and mud slinging. |
Rudedough, na wa o. You sabi talk like woman lyk this? Still brimming with more words @ this unearthly hour. |
