hannesy: happy sunday

are you a UNN student or did you school there? Pls reply

Emmalot121: I have asked this question and I will ask it again do the catholic belief Jesus is the child of Mary or Mary is the child of Jesus,if its the former,then its too bad.I also belief Mary is not as holy as to give birth to the one as Holy as the son of God,I would only tag her as the luckiest of women.

My friend, I am ashamed of how you are locked up in the bottle of infantile. Someone was pointing at great achievements of some clergy to human development, all you can bring up is an outdated debate that has no significance. The protestants used those debates to justify their separation into a more "God-centered" religious order, ok, over the years what have they done better than the Catholics. And if I may ask, what is your business with what they believe. I hate it how Nigerians are so marooned by religion that they can not think of anything creative. Infact, my Chinese friend says it is lack of creativity that drives us to always fall on our knees asking God for our daily bread. Those priests mentioned have achieved greatness for mankind, ok, you who understands God better based on your wisdom, what is your own contribution.

We should get rid of this our intellectual shallowness and begin to work with our head. There is definitely nothing new to preach in Christianity, every adult christian knows what is sin and what is not. What we lack now is the substance to practice practical christianity, which will be a product of your resourcefulness. Just look at our campuses, the strongest student associations are the religious groups. If students can devote same energy and resource in forming cooperatives for developmental purposes, God knows where we will be today.

So please, transport your self to 2014, seems you were left behind at 1820.

so wat do u call bowing 2 her statue, praying 2 her, asking her 2 pray 4 u wen d Bible clearly says JESUS IS D ONLY WAY 2 D FATHER, nd in d 10commandments Jesus told us not 2 bow 2 any image watsoeva.
If God would have wanted u 2 honour ur so-called moda of God, it should be written in d Bible clearly 4 every1 2 see nd practice, bt as 4 CATHOLICS,,, I jus dnt knw wat 2 say....

Pls stop living on d illusion dat u're honouring mary, u r purely worshipping d her.

Btw i am an ex-catholic, a very devouted block rosarian at dat, so u cant tell me anything abt d catholic faith.

QAPHAYNE: Not just through theology but also
science and philosophy. This list takes a look at ten
priests who made significant discoveries or in other ways
changed the way we think, the way we live, or the way
we believe. Ranking these religious men is very difficult
and it is impossible to place one above the
other. This is by no means to be considered a “top 10″
list as there are certainly many more equally great
religious from history to choose from.

1) FATHER GREGOR MENDEL:A pioneer in the field of genetics. He produced hybrid bees that where so ferocious they had to be destroyed. Even though an ordained catholic priest, the catholic church never fully supported his work in fact after his death his science papers were burnt by his abbot. His last words were: MY TIME WILL COME

May that time never come. Hybrid bees! Na wa o. You want to torture humanity to death. I wonder what happens when this science gets introduced to the human system.

Emmalot121: And Jesus asked his disciples"Who do people think I am" and Peter answered 'Christ the son of God' not CHRIST THE SON OF MARY which would have been the answer of the Pharesees and Saducees(spelling not sure.) which ye think like.
Though Mary is the earthly Mother of Jesus(not disputed) but Jesus was(lived) long before Mary was conceived and according to you she was favored to Give birth to her lord.No wonder Jesus said:My people slumber because of lack of Knowledge.
For Understanding begets Knowledge and Knowledge begets wisdom.How can you have the wisdom of God when ye fail to recognise Mary as the child of Jesus?As Jesus is a spirit who came in human form,a King who came in form of man and under who heaven and earth including Mary must bow,yet swallowed his pride and came as a baby through a sinner(every man was born a sinner)Mary.
I have said the little I can as God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth and Nothing earthly i.e Mary must be inferred to when worshipping God through Christ the father of Mary(in Spirit).

At first, I thought you do not believe in the Bible and Christianity. Its good you quoted the bible. Good enough, that very passage has been/is being/will be read to Catholics hears today all over the world, from the Gospel of St Mattew

Its funny how some people like to pick verses of the Bible that they think suit their arguement, whereas, these verses only complement.

Were you expecting Jesus to drop from heaven? Perhaps, if he had dropped in the midst of the Jews, they would have believed in him easily. However, he would not have been killed, a killing that guaranteed OUR salvation. He had to be born, born of a woman. Mary was chosen to have that Honour and forever will she have the Honour.

Since you sound like you are conversant with the Bible, you should know as well who pleaded with Jesus for his first miracle.

We learn everyday, its a sign that we are still alive. Widen your scope and thinking, trust me, your will be a better Christian(unless you are not).

so bowing means worship now. so Pple who bow to their fellow man worship them. see my brother you might be an ex-catholic and a block rosarian does not mean you understand it's teaches u know. no be every body we go school come back with knowledge u know. same might have happened to you.

look at you, now u are angry because he called your mother into this wht more of Christ.

any way this is not wht this thread is meant for.

You Atheist and Sadists think the bible is a mere literary work that you can interpret with your little brain. Ask the holy Spirit and he will teach you the mystery of the nativity of Christ through Mary. If the holy spirit directs you to me, I will gladly help you see Gods light. .............. Peace.

pls try reading more of d Bible nd not bulletins, u'll understand wat it means by worshipping someone. Now tell me wats d aim of d block rosary? Wat do they do everyday wen they gather? Wat type of songs do they sing? Did Jesus command his disciples|followers 2 honour his mother? Or hold prayer session 2 her 4 d interseccesion of sins? Pls read d Bible nd b informed. D cactizim buk only teach of catholic doctrines, nd nt d Bible.

One more question!!!

Do you bow to your parents while greeting them? Do you bow to your pastor? Do you have a picture of your pastor anywhere in your house? a portrait or a sticker?

I wanna believe your experience as a block rosarian was as a kid. I dare say you never really understood the words you said back then.

But then, I congratulate you on finding the "Truth". But your truth doesn't make our truth (the Catholics' truth) wrong. So quit the criticism.

The Catholics honour Mary. Believe it or not
