BUILD YOUR OWN CHURCH LUV WITH YOUR "PERSONAL CONVICTIONS AND BELIEFS"

m-ployer:
Stay with Christ embassy. You are exactly their type.

chineloSA:

Please na. I cant choose for you. You " Personal cnvictions and beliefs " are on the way.

This is similar to looking for a man to commit to, and you have a list. Deep down you know, there is no human being who will fit snugly and perfect into you list. Men are already there trained and grown up
So the best solution is to build your own men or cut some of the requirements on your list.

Same thing with church. Churches are already there, built from different doctrines and foundations. Branded around a grown man ( Pastor ) You just have to fit in and ignore the rest.

I am Catholic, I don't agree with celibate priesthood, churches stance on woman priesthood, homosexuality and artificial contraceptions etc. I found the church there already existing, so I cant change it.
If I am to focus on my "Personal beliefs and convictions " then I will have to build my own church.

My solution is:

BUILD YOUR OWN CHURCH LUV WITH YOUR "PERSONAL CONVICTIONS AND BELIEFS"

Mujah1deen: Why do you keep calling yourself a Catholic then? No wonder you refuse to embrace Islam(the only true path and the truth) it is obvious you can't respect/follow simple rules

jansie: tnks chinelo. i get ur points now. so u win!
while trying to settle for something not perfect, i hav so many choices
which do i pick since i cant build

chineloSA:

Hope you didnt take anything personal.

My friend recommend Islam

jansie:
if u wudnt go 4 islam cos of alhajis, y should i cos of ur friend? ehn lov, btw. am not takin anything personal ooo

jansie: ok. i apologise. this is not d purpose of this thread.

chineloSA:

If I join Islam it may be disastrous for me because i do not understand it. Why should I bath with a paper written in Arab? Those who were around me didn't help as well. Why should one recite prayers in a language they dont understand let alone converse with??

In Catholicism some things are debated. e.g. they used to use Latin and it was abolished, they recently loosened contraception and HIV/AIDS and condom stance. So there is progress.

Unfortunately I question things I don't get indoctrinated. Remember all these religions came with Arabs and Roman ( whites ) some of the things was with reference to them and their culture not to black culture.

E.g. Islamic way of dressing. It may have been like that because of the culture and weather Arabs found themselves in, maybe not because Muslims are suppose to wear like that.

So if questioning is wrong, then islam is not for me. Dont fight me ooo. Just debate.

jansie: i'm still welcoming more contributions n recommendations without derailing thread. tnks

chineloSA:

Nothing to apologise for

jansie:
am sorry once again. how was service today?

chineloSA:

I didn't go. I am sick

jansie:
for real? or u're jokin.

chineloSA:

For real.

I have been indoors since Wednesday. Very productive 5 days. Thank God.

Am seeing the doctor tomorrow, again.

Mujah1deen:
Catholicism is made of doctrines, if you don't follow them or don't believe in them it means you are not Catholic.
Not True, Catholicism has seven sacraments. Not all of us get them, but it does not mean you are less of a Catholic

You will learn there's nothing to worry about, Islam is clear and pure .

I really don't know what you are talking about, are you sure they asked you to take a shower with that paper?,
Yes an Arabic prayer on a paper and I was told to put it in water and bath with it.

Questioning is not wrong, only questioning to ridicule is wrong .
The problem is that Muslims always finds anything and everything ridiculous and blasphemous. Catholic get ridiculed but dont take it as blasphemous

what's wrong with the Islamic dressing?
Personally, I do not agree with some of it. Like head cover

BTW Latin is still used and there are prayers that are said in Latin.
Latin is not by force, there is always an English or Native Language translation. Those who normally use it is the older brain washed generation. The younger generation doesnt know whats cooking

jansie:
sowie. pls get well soon n rest well too dear

yinkard4me: when some stories made front page, all I do is SIGHHHHH....k In SARAKI'S VOICE- na we dey dia

jansie: hello nairalanders, kindly recommend a church for this babe. u see i've been 2 so many churches but just a few seem to douse my curiousity n even d few have so many fault that i tend to stay home attimes on sundays. ok, lemme specify some things i personaly believe in and would no doubt change. so the recommended church must believe in the following:
1.speaking in tongues
2.trinity
3.wearing trouser, earrings n not covering hair
4.tithers
5.preaching d `gospel' n not sin every single day
6. has love n care for its members n not what they can get 4rm members
7.are doers n not mere talkers
8. regularly take communion
9. celebrate all kinds of functions:bdays, wedding,etc
Amongst several things also. i want to be goin 2 church n not b a couch potato.of all d churches i've been to, i enjoy christ embassy bt they av good leaders n bad followers, too money-couscious n i realise most dont even practice what their MOG teaches, though their pastor is my mentor. kindly tell me which good church to go. o_O
tnks
