I took my time to read the entire thread and I discovered that if God decides to take away the righteous today, lots of people here will miss the rapture. @Poster, let me tell you frankly Heaven is not cheap! What is your purpose of finding a church to attend? Is it for you to dance and pray to mary? or is it for heaven's sake? Catholic, can not save, Pastors can not save you, Mary have no part to play in your salvation, Only JESUS OF NAZARETH can! He is the only WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT. If any one ever tells you to pray in any other name here on earth. .RUN please, as far as your leg can go. He died for your sin so that you may have life and have it more abundantly. Do not be deceived by the outward appearance on sunday mornings, nor by their white robes sew by a Nigerian tailor. . .but let your focus be on God through his only begotten son- JESUS. Also, let the Holy Spirit guide you. . ."for you shall speak in different tongues after the Holy spirit might have come upon you" Any congregation without the Holy spirit is as dead as a log of wood. A Pope without the Holy spirit will end up reading the angelus in HELL FIRE Any church without the five-fold ministries is not complete. -Pastoring -Teaching -Evangelism -Prophetic -Apostolic WHAT YOU NEED TO DO Look for a living pentecostal church, make sure its a small-moderate church. . .there you can grow easily with good follow-up and mentoring. God bless you. 3 Likes |

My dear frosbel. Its quite shameful that one can still see and refer to a the catholics belief in the virgin Mary as bad and anti God service. God will not save you in isolation remember. If you cant defend a faith then dont destroy it. Its offensive to human sensibility. May Mary the mother of Jesus who said I and the Father are one, therefore meaning he is God, have mercy on you. |

@ OP, I am also a winner and had a very close friend who was a catholics and we used to argue a lot about doctrines. On a certain day it got very heated and when I got home, I couldn't pray and just as I was trying to connect to God, the Holy Spirit said to me that the body of Christ is not divided. We are all called by the name of Jesus. If you want to be a Catholic, It is also the Church of Jesus Christ. Concentrate on the word of God and be guided by the Holy Spirit and not doctrine. All the best, continue to give Jesus the first place in your life and you will not miss it. |

thonyjoe2@yahoo: Jesus is GOD in the flesh, Mary is NOT !! I was once a youth leader in the Catholic church so I know what I am talking about. There is no salvation in the catholic church or Mary for that matter. Salvation can only be found in Christ Jesus. |

frosbel: If you want to join a Mary worshipping cult then the catholic church is for you.We the Christians cotinue to cry and lament over what the moslem are doing to us, but l tell u some pple who called themselves Christians are worse than those extremists. just look at ur post and tell me if you are not inviting either verbal or physical war in the name of defending ur church instead of christ, is that what Christ asked u to be doing. better repent before it will be too late, cheers. 1 Like |

De-Grace01: If you have any thing against what I wrote up there. . then you are an enemy of God. .cos everything there is from the bible. I attended a catholic primary school and thank God for the bible. . . I stood against most of their acts. . I don't pray in the name of mary, I refuse to take their ashes. I dont bow before any idol. . (The cross you guys carry about is definitely not my Jesus) Listen carefully and carefully again. . JESUS IS NO LONGER ON THE CROSS! HE DIED AND "RESSURRECTED" OVER 2000YEARS AGO. It is mockery for anyone to keep on worshipping an image of one who died for our sins years ago. . .We are not celebrating his death but his life. . Such practice is Occultic. I dont like to argue when it comes to the Bible. . .so I think I'll leave you to your belief. 3 Likes |

The Catholic church should apologise to the families of the millions of people killed in Africa directly as a result of its policies against the use of condoms. It should apologise to the millions killed due to its policy on abortion and contraception. An organisation like the Catholic church has lost every ounce of moral standing. 1 Like |

I wil say it as it is: The catholic church is a RELIGION (mind u, true xtianity is not a religion, but a godly way of life) of CONVENIENCE, FALSE DOCTRINES&BLASPHEMOUS MISINTERPRETATN OF D BIBLE (worshipping Mary &dead saints, confessing to 'father,' purgatory etc).

italo: You just contradicted the word of God - Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. It will surprise you what you are going to discover when christ will come to judge his church - you wont say no one ever told you, only the word of God (The Word Of God) is the basis for your believe, doctrine and salvation remember Jesus christ was the word made flesh, so the word of God is reliable, may the lord give u insight in jesus name. Amen! |

frosbel: If you want to join a Mary worshipping cult then the catholic church is for you.I really pity you...now o see the reason Muslims go around criticizing Christians.. am a catholic and am not going to argue with a fellow Christian..I only argue with Muslim and atheist trying to convince them about what they believe about Christians... and info we don't worship Mary or saints we only pray for them to intercede for us and pray for us... |

solemate: My dear worshipping Mary and praying to dead saints does not cut with God. "Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. [u]Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? [/u]Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?" - 2 Corinthians 6:13-15 This is what compromise can do to the body of Christ when you join those groups who do not believe in the born again experience, who do not believe in repentance from dead works, who forbid to marry, who launch crusades in the name of God to slaughter countless millions. Do not fellowship with those who reject the core truths of the bible. |

[size=15pt] The problem with you catholics is that you take christianity as a religion, the early church never took it so, check the writings of apostle paul and peter and even john and other apostles, and you would find out they all kicked against doctrines of men and stated clearly the doctrine of jesus and kicked against spiritual ceremonies and cleansing as requirement for salvation, all this are false doctrines of demons porpoted by the catholic founding fathers for their selfish interests and greed, i'm not here to judge any denomination, but i cannot see falsehood and then keep silent over it, study the word of God and let the holy sprirt interpret it to you and you wont be mislead! I pray God opens your eyes to see beyond!!! [/size] |

frosbel: frosbel Its really amazing to see people talk about what they don't really understand, "God", many of u here are half bake xtains who just started going to church yesterday telling the whole world that they are now born again. have u ever sat down to think about God? have u ever tried to know what he expected from u, have u sat down and meditate in his word rather quoting bible like one sort of Shakespeare? if u can answer these questions you will see that u have a lot of work to do in your xtain life. God is the only one that can condemn a church or any man, not u because u r no where near perfection God bless u |

frosbel: my dear less trash it out, first of all we dont reach the bible but we study it. when u read as u do u jump out to talk out of ignorance cos ur knowledge base on that will not be balanced but when u study it u are better informed. l am a catholic i know the scripture thatz why i need u to argue biblically so that we will learn more. come up with ur points am still waiting. |

De-Grace01: when i got into this thread i came with the intention of not arguing, but it seems u need to be talked to, so let kick start.
