What scripture? When did the "church" usurp the role of the holy Spirit? The one that was compiled and defined (as in everyone holds it to be scripture today based on the Church's authority) to be scripture by the Church. |

~Lady~: What verse in that scripture authorizes the church to be the interpreter of the words of Christ? |

Ye right! Like bowing down to graven images and using the bronze serpent as his excuse? Or by giving the hyperdulia worship to Mary? I don't know where He was accused of doing the same as the Catholic Church in these matters. Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, "It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons" Ma'am you may have forgotten that Jesus was accused of worshipping demons. But the above verse is a reminder. What verse in that scripture authorizes the church to be the interpreter of the words of Christ? Oh I don't know, maybe the pillar and foundation or truth part. I may be missing something about truth. |

~Lady~: Lol, you're a wonderful interpreter! Where did they accuse Jesus of worshipping demons? And which one of the Catholic definition did you find there among dulia, hyperdulia, and latria? Edit: In other words, if they accused Jesus of such (worshipping demons), does that mean the Catholic Church does the same? |

Lol, you may not understand that when someone says that it is through the prince of demons that you cast out demons it means you are in cohorts demons, and if it is by the power of the prince then the prince is the one being worshipped. In other words, if they accused Jesus of such (worshipping demons), does that mean the Catholic Church does the same? Lol, nice try. It means as Jesus was accused so are we. Accusing does not mean that the accusation is true. Unless you're trying to say that Jesus worshipped demons. |

I make two observarions in your entry above: 1). When you were a muslim, was "Allah," an idol to you and would you say that you were an idolator, at that time? And please explain yourself. Now that you are a Christian, a you now clear of idolatry? Please explain yourself. Aburo, I am not in control of nairaland. If it was left to me, I will leave everything to the participants/discussants to hatch it out. The only request I would have made is that they should supply their sources of information, otherwise they will deemed as liars, playing on peoples emotion with deceitful and uncouth tactics.
Aburo, I will like you to tell us what it means to know that Jesus is lord? That shouldn't be too difficult. You have strength and I admire stong women. So don't disappoint me, in your presentation.
Is merely talking to you, in my meekly way that harsh? Sorry to hear it. I have discussed with many who have felt the need to reexamined their core belief and try to find a better connection to God, the Creator. If you do good is for your own benefit.
Pilgrim.1, there is no losing battle in my life. Where i lost, God will give me a great victory without even preparing for the battle. We are brothers and sisters from our common ancestors, Adam (AS) and his wife Hawa. Is there a love lost her? Common, cheer up. Wa shi bami soro. Boko rokun, korosa, apada bo seti ebute. Jesus is Lord. |

@Olabowale, olabowale: What is there to explain, Olabowale? When I made an effort to tell my story and explain that same thing, you guys exhibited your restlessness until the thread was locked. It wasn't as if there was a competition in sharing one's testimony, but it surprised me that it played out just as a few people offline have warned me. I learnt from that experience, and can only thank God for the wisdom of those ladies who raised the warning (stubborn me, I didn't heed them in time). But since then, I have taken their advice to not waste time engaging you guys where you won't be reasonable. So, please understand why you're wasting your time forcing all this effort to show the same restlessness. olabowale: I wasn't ignoring you. The one thing I won't do is start arguing aimlessly with you. I know it must have been tough to disgest the news that someone who was raised as a muslimah could be changed: and thereto, I have received all sorts of insults on my person and parents. Yet, I am learning through it all to love the same people who feel that way - because I know and have been where they are now. Olabowale, I cherish the friendships that God has blessed me with since sharing my story - and I'm going to treasure the advice of one of them who dissuaded me entering any arguments. If there's talk, I can choose to join in or quietly observe. But if it has an undertone of insults and brewing for arguments, I will simply fold myself away from there. God blessing - Jesus loves you. |

Man should not assume the role of God. We have no power to forgive sins but to only forgive people when we are offended; that is what John 20:22-23 means. Do not interprete the Bible for selfish interests. Another thing that baffles me is the honors and prayers constantly offered to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Read revelations and tell me when all glory, all honor, all power, all might, all praise, all adoration, all greatness, etc., was ascribed to Mary but the One who was, who is, and who is to come. Catholics should begin to read their Bibles, and stop adhering to the norms and traditions of the Roman empire in the renaissance era. |
