Chukwuzobam89:This isn't the Catholic church tradition oo. It is the Igbos tradition. Even now 90% of them doesn't allow their children to marry a non Igbo. Why won't they do it to their non denominations? Leave d church out of this. My elder sisters got married to a non catholics, nothing of such happens to my parent. |

This issue of if you did not pay debt church will not attend burial of a loved one(even when they know you are poor and handicapped)is something of pain that i hope someday a meaningful group will fight against in the Catholic church. |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by BabaIbo: 11:05am On Jul 12, 2021 |
breathelove: You are dumb, no apology. Is it money for burial or dues that were meant to be paid by the deceased when he/she was alive but he/she evaded it? The deceased family do receive donations in form of support for the deceased burial, which most of the times is gotten from other people's burial dues, if he/she dooesn't pay i.e if everyone keeps evading the payment, how will others get their own support? Ignorance is affecting you, if you don't understand something, ask questions before typing trash allover the thread. |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by BabaIbo: 11:11am On Jul 12, 2021 |
Jesubaby: You just typed trash up there. Which one is 90%? As if it doesn't exist in your tribe, you are pointing that your filthy finger at others, meanwhile your tribe is filled with numerous ills. Nonsense, you want a man to marry a lazy woman the can't support or help in managing his business empire but only wants to go to parties, spend money and lazy around. And if things go south, she will quickly jump ship and leave the man to his fate. |

BabaIbo: Mr smartphone do you even read your bible. Let me educate you using the bible. The gospel is for free. In the gospel of Jesup Christ, their is nothing like dues.. we are only encouraged to give of our freewill. No force. Also church donations are private, what the right hand gives the left does not know. In the body of Christ, we don't pay dues. And burial's are not given on a condition of tithes. You should spend more time in understanding your scriptures and building your faith. As a Christian I am living you with passages from the Bible. If the scriptures mean anything to you, you would understand that the church does not work for more. Every service of the church is free 1 corinthians 9.18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel Isaiah 55.1“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. |

Angelfrost:I only called you childish for choosing insults as a means of communication. It's really wrong. And I am impressed with this your present post. It shows great maturity. Most people on nairaland would have insulted me for calling them out. Finally, I put it to you that religion has done more to make the world a betier place. Religion has been an instrument in human civilization. The world is a much better an emphatic place thanks to our consciousness of God devinity. I am sure you would did agree but we could look it up |

breathelove: I am sure it is a kid that is behind this moniker, you can't differentiate between salvation and occasion. The verses you quoted are focused on salvation and not activity. Did the church requested for money before you enter the church to pray, receive communion and do other liturgical activities? In the Bible, what did Jesus Christ say about tax/due? Is church activities run with paper? You expect them to mobilize themselves and come for the occasion or program but you don't want to do the necessary thing that will help in mobilizing. How do you want them to raise the needed fund for such activity? I hope you know they do give money/support to the grieving family to help them in conducting the process? If you don't pay but want to receive the support, I hope you know you want to eat your cake and still have it? |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by BabaIbo: 12:10pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
Jesubaby: Which rubbish truth are you saying? Do you have sense at all? Are all JW members, deeper lifers etc Igbos? But they frown at marrying someone that is not their members. Are the fulanis and hausas related to Igbos but marrying a Fulani girl as a non-fulani is rare. And so on. As una take carry una polygamy, adulterous and divorce-filled lifestyles enter Catholic abi? You're simply ignorant. |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by breathelove(f): 12:13pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
BabaIbo:You are only trying to be smart. Do you need funds to pray at a burial? Where did you read in the bible that help is given to only those that contribute. You modern Christians who would not build your foundation from the scripture but due in vain argument. Really what funds are needed to say a prayer for the dead? Smart guy |

I don't blame her sha,what a pastors wife did to me ,wat I have suffered in d hands of "children of God",church people, made me stop going to church. All those cover up ur bodies religious people,they are the most wicked.the worst is deeper life and mfm churches.only concerned with appearance but inwardly they are vicious snakes. |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by breathelove(f): 12:23pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
BabaIbo:You believe I am a kid, Chimamanda should also be a kid and every other person who disagrees with his royal highness. That's super mature thinking from you chief. Mr know it all. We don't sell our ideas by belittling others. We show mutual respect in arguments. You are the adult here, I shouldn't be teaching you this. Please read your bible and learn wisdom. Learn to serve without counting the cost. Stop taxing people at death. The church is way beyond that. Just say the simple prayer for the diseased and be done with it |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by BabaIbo: 12:25pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
breathelove: Let me ask you some questions... The priest, the choristers etc that will come there, will they fly? Abi make them use their own money run am? The program that will be held in the church or at the deceased home, how will the logistics(on the church part) be put in place? And other things. The dues that the lady in the main post is complaining of, do you think it runs into millions? Infact, Catholic Church is where you can hold the cheapest wedding program without any problem. It is in every face of the society, as long as they have benefited from dues paid by others, they should also pay. Just like friends contributing money to help support a member of the crew in his wedding and when it's another members turn, he doesn't want to pay. The topic is beyond your understanding anyway. |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by BabaIbo: 12:37pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
breathelove: It seems someone got emotional with my words. No vex if I called you a kid when you're not, but you condemning a whole tribe because of this is totally wrong. Who is chimamda when it comes to Catholic Church? She is just an aggrieved member like others who don't agree with catholic doctrines. Wait, do you expect them to spend their personal money to run such activity? Anyway, have a good day. |

BRATISLAVA: Hmm. A person who by his freewill believes and professes the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds is not a Christian? It is interesting what this new holy spirit that came into being about 100 years ago or so teaches people. |

JayB11: Knowledge is quite difficult to seek. It takes a certain level of humility to question all you have heard about something and approach learning with an open mind. The kind of humility that enables one to throughly appreciate their own intellectual frailties. This kind of humility is hard to find in this generation. Many anti-Catholic apologists who accuse the Church of being unbiblical have not even developed the consciousness to x-ray their own beliefs and practices using the Bible they claim to regard in high honour. They are so clueless about how well the Holy Scriptures are regarded in the Catholic Church. There's so much to say. This is coming from an ex-atheist who left the Church in his teens and returned in his late twenties. |

BabaIbo:I wasn't emotional for my sake, I was only feeling sorry for you. I am condemning a social I'll not minding the tribe. Someone has to tell the truth. You keep talking about spending money. Boss what expenses. The family is buying the casket. The only duty of the church is to offer prayer and conduct a service. |

GiantParrot: If he's Christian, why is he stating he is Catholic? Should people mention their denominations when asked what religion they are? Are you Muslim? I'm Sunni. Are you Christian? I'm Catholic. Are you Buddhist? I am Mongolian. Are you Hindi? I'm a Ganeshite. Why can't Catholics call themselves Christian? Needless division. No other religious sect does that as much as they do. Seen it too many times. |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by breathelove(f): 1:49pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
BabaIbo:Oga what game are you playing.. so it's about transportation within the community. If that is the only amount the church request people would not be complaining. I am not church Chimamanda is complaining because the church requested for common transport money. We both know it's beyond that. Instead, they open a book to check for unpaid bills of the dead. If they need transportation it's OK if they arrange that with the family. No one would have issues with that. Again don't say what you don't know.. the Catholic church is not where u hold the cheapest weddings. I can give you a list churches where weddings don't cost a kobo but it's not a competition. We commend the catholics for cheap weddings. Also you must realize that there are many other churches that don't request transport money to perform a burial. Again you could have simply explained that the church is only asking for transportation, that I would have no argument about that. But then we both know what they request is beyond transport for the priest and choir. |

breathelove: See question o! Must I break everything down for you? It is called dues, do you expect the church to start asking for tfare, etc? A member that lived almost all his life somewhere else, contributed to the growth of the church over there but didn't have any impact on the church back home even if it is via offering or free giving/donation, when it's now time for things like this, you are now calling them names. That is their way of running their activities, if they don't take such steps they won't be afloat, and people will abuse it. What they are requesting for, can you compare it to the cost of bringing a priest etc from where the deceased lived to his village? The money your parents contribute in their various town meetings, why do you think whenever a member's daughter or son is getting married, they organize and buy gifts and also donate cash to the couple via their parents. Why is it that they didn't call it gift money or wedding support money? |
Re: Why I Separated Myself From Catholicism – Chimamanda Adichie by BabaIbo: 3:26pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
breathelove: Easier said... It is a simple stuff, if they can not pay, they can always bring priest from their active parish and his team to come hold the mass there. People are doing it. |

[/b] kingxsamz: ... Christians claim to be "one" and that they serve the same god, but the division between them is so much that it's considered an act of clownery when they say "their god is not a god of confusion". MFM, Catholic, White garment, RCCG, Deeper life, Jehovah witness, Christ embassy etc... Don't agree with themselves on a lot of things. And they read the same Bible. Religion has and will always cause division, both to its adherents and the outsiders. Funny how women are the ones who are more religious even though religion recognizes them as [b]mere property for men. Thank God you said mere religion Cos True Christainity sees everyone be it a Man or a Woman as the physical wife(Woman) in Spirituality. YOUR WIFE SUBMITS HERSELF TO YOU IN MARRIAGE JUST AS BOTH YOU N YOUR WIFE SUBMITS YOURSELVES TO JESUS CHRIST REMEMBER I SAID YOUR WIFE NOT A WOMAN Women are not slaves so don't call them mere property cos if you call them so,then you share the same slave status as the woman in regards to Lord Jesus being your Master here And Whereas, Jesus never made you believe you are a slave to Him cos you have the choice to submit yourself to worshiping him in truth n in spirit So why should a mere mortal subjugate a Woman to do so when Your Master is Humble enough to not do to same to You even when He's a Super Natural Being? It's your type that makes really spells it out on why the iconic writer had to stop Catholicism |
