Sanchez01: I said why should jesus take total possession of mary if he has other brothers?. John 19:27 say "Then he said to his disciple she is your mother and from that time,the disciple (JOHN) took her to live in his house" |

linusbnn:1. Gen 1:26 Then God said[b] let US [/b]make man in our own image and after our likeness. 2. John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made./quote] 4. 1John 5:7 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. I sincerely hope these passages answer your question? |

malvisguy212: I one sense celebrating Christmas would be ok as a personal choice. But the present Christmas you celebrate is a pagan festival created by pagans and fixed on a pagan date. That is a problem for any Christian. It means you are now officially celebrating a pagan festival whether you want to agree with it or not |

linusbnn: Mary was just one of the many people that God used in his journey from Genesis to Calvery,in his bid to save his creation. No one role is greater than the other from David, Ruth etc. Including Joseph. Because not God nor any angel spoke to Mary again after the birth of Christ rather He was speaking to Joseph on where to take the Child Jesus to. It was only John the Baptist that Jesus Christ described as the greatest of all the prophets. Also note that Jesus is the human and no one should really educate you what it all means when Christ is added to it. I always like addressing the Lord as Jesus Christ so that people will know the difference btw Jesus and Jesus the Christ. 1 Like |

malvisguy212: It is wrong if you go and study the meaning of all these thngs you have listed. I hope you dont think these things just started from the blues. They are practices that were transfered from pagan worship. I would want to derail the thread so I wouldnt go into details of those practices. Simple question for you is: If the Olokun or Ogun practices in your village are tranfered to your local church services, would you accept them? |
Re: What The Bible Teaches About These Five Church Practices by snailspeed: 1:44pm On Mar 13, 2016 |
linusbnn: How is praying for one another the same thing as running to a priest or pastor? Is your wife not "one another"? Are your friends and neighbours who are Christians not "one another"? |

tmanuelle: I have corrected that already. The early Christians never joined them in the celebration of Christmas |
Re: What The Bible Teaches About These Five Church Practices by snailspeed: 1:48pm On Mar 13, 2016 |
malvisguy212: The early Christians did not join the celebration of Christmas. They would never join such a pagan festival. The early Christians were also mainly Jews. The only feasts they celebrated were the feasts of God. Passover, Trumpets, First fruits, Jubilee, etc |

snailspeed: I used that as an example and everybody runs to his/her spiritual leader in difficult time and even in good time for one purpose or the other. They are righteous except proved otherwise |
Re: What The Bible Teaches About These Five Church Practices by snailspeed: 1:52pm On Mar 13, 2016 |
malvisguy212: I dont understand your question bro. But for the record, the early church leaders rejected all the pagan celebrations including Christmas. These celebrations where introduced and enforced by the Catholic church. The early church leaders were Jews and they never endorsed any of those pagan festivals. It was pure idol worship that could never mix with Gods way |

Nobody said Mary didn't give birth to Jesus. Herein lies the question, 'is Mary to be worshipped/honoured?'. Back it up with scriptural quotations. linusbnn: |

ExcelP:Point #4: Genesis 14:20: Abram’s Tithe to Melchizedek Reflected the Law of the Land. (Chapters 2, 3) The false teaching is that Abraham freely gave tithes because it was God’s will. Scores of reputable secular history books document the existence of spoils of war tithing from Babylon to Egypt before Abraham’s time. For the following reasons, Abram’s pre-circumcision tithe in Genesis 14:20 cannot be used as an example for Christians to tithe (17:5). (1) The Bible does not say that Abram “freely” gave this tithe. (2) Abram’s gift was NOT a holy tithe from God’s holy land gathered by God’s holy people under God’s holy Old Covenant. (3) Abram’s tithe was clearly only from pagan spoils of war and was required in many nations as the law of the land. (4) In Numbers 31:21-31, God only required 1% of spoils of war as an ordinance. (5) Abram’s tithe to the priest-king Melchizedek was a one-time recorded event. (6) Abram’s tithe was not from his previously owned personal property. (7) Abram kept nothing for himself; he gave everything back. ( ![]() |

linusbnn: First, there is nothing like spiritual leaders in Christianity that we are supposed to run to. Those are terms used to create false foundations for false doctrines. Church leaders are administrators, not people who are closer to God more than the rest of us. Many of them might actually be very far from God like we see today and like Jesus acknowledged inthe book of Revelation Church leaders/administrators are not righteous by their names title or positions. They are just men like everyone one else. They have no special rigtheous status befoe God and God does not regard their prayers more than anyone else. Of course, they have taught you in your denomination to believe otherwise so they can enslave you |

snailspeed:you said christmas was a pagan festival, right ? Will the early church leader celebrate christmas if it is a pagan ritual ? What evidence do you have that this church leader wanted to incorporate christmas with peganism ? I believe they were only influence with the date setting and not the manner of celebration. |

effty: Must it be scriptural to honour some1?. I fear u sha. Honour is given to whom it's due and we studied the life of mary from when she accepted to be the mother of jesus,to the way of the cross and till the death of christ. She deserves our honour and we gave it to her. Even the mother of john the baptist honoured her and her visit to her home. |

linusbnn: On thing you should understand is that Jesus Christ is half man half God . Like I said Mary was just one of the many people God used to accomplish his plans on earth and none of those people had he ascribed any special position any where to be worshiped or intercede for us. If Mary intercedes for you what will Eve do for you 2 Likes |
