Association is by choice. Be found a new one by his conviction. He has right to his opinion on whatever he says.

Freedom of speech no dey Nigeria again

So, what do you want to do to him now if you will not leave him alone?
Did I dictate for him whom to associate with? No. Therefore, you are a false accuser here.

Did I say he has no right to his opinion? No. So, you are a false accuser here. As a matter of fact, you are the one acting as if I do not have the right to my own opinion.

Maybe you are the one trying to take freedom of speech away from Nigeria in this case.

I ask again, what do you mean when you say I should leave him alone?

Till now you've not told us what Jesus's commandments are in the gospel as you said Jesus directed you to do. You've just been leading people on a solo journey.
I don't have time to waste on those who are not will to learn but just here to ask uncountable questions.

Even Jesus Himself didn't answer every question people asked Him except for the sheep who sincerely want to learn from Him and to hear His Voice.

So it's wrong to assume you speak for everyone else instead of just yourself.

I don't know what you mean when you say I should leave him. This is exactly what I think. And that's why I ask you to explain why you said I should leave him.

Going by your claim that you mean exactly what I think, you have now implied that you don't know why you said I should leave him. Therefore, your brain was inactive when you said I should leave him.

hey guys,I need advice. recently I have been reading the Bible alot...as in alot,and I have seen the many commandents the Catholic church is breaking....so I left.But I am really scared on telling my Mum and Dad about it. any advice?(am in university yr 2)
Abandon religion entirely. If you are really interested in Jesus Christ, no religion on this earth --- not even the religion of your parents --- can get you anywhere close to Him. Distance yourself from religion and all of its lies and then you have a change of finding the real Jesus Christ if it is Him you truly desire to know. undecided

Dear OP.

Catholics are Christians too, the fact that you see something wrong may indicate one thing.
God is calling you into a deeper relationship with him.
Sometimes this happens if the church or your parents are becoming a stubling block to what God wants you to do. In this case, God sometimes directs you to another fellowship where you see God differently.

Your Catholic Church may not be able to help you further in this journey but, trust me, God planted you there in order to have a root.

A good example is, when you finish primary school, and move to secondary, you will start to see that you know better, you may start to realize that some teacher that taught you before don't understand everything. But if you didn't pass through primary, you may not be able to stand in the secondary school.
You are transitioning at the moment, but be careful not to speak I'll of the place God brought you out from, they are not the problem here, it is Gad that wants you to grow better.

I recommend a song for you.

May God help you

So you mean Jesus told you not to answer questions that is pertinent to his commandments in the gospel? You claimed Jesus told you to preach about his commandments found only in the gospel.
So what are these commandments?

MightySparrow:


Are your own in agreement with what they teach?

Again, who made you a monitor of pastors and doctrines?
You already know the answer to the first question that you are asking me.

So you mean I don't have the rights to know the contents of the teachings of the pastors that you are recommending?
So how are we going to learn from them?

Which sentence in my comment warrants this question?
You are saying the op is wrong for saying that the Catholics are not Christians. I thought a Christian is one who has the true teachings of christ?
So if everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian, would that not mean that there are actually no false Christians, and that contradictory teachings by all churches today are acceptable by christ?

You've not answered mine....I thought you were the teacher here. I've been asking you whether it is wrong to examine the teachings and doctrines of many pastors Today and you've fallen short of answers.
So what right do I not have to inquire of the teachings of the pastors that you've recommended?

😁😁😁you've technically not asked me any question.
You've been asking who gave me right to examine the doctrines of pastors that you've recommended.
That question shows that you don't have answer to my question of if all these pastors are in agreement when it comes to biblical doctrines.

You are saying i dont have right to examine the doctrines of your recommended pastors but you've been examining the teachings of the JWs. Is that not hypocrisy?

Oga your reply suggest that. Why would you be angry at the op for saying that he saw that the Catholics were not following the teachings of christ and decided to leave. You insisted in your reply that the Catholics were Christians without any proof that the catholics held the true teachings of christ. Does that not imply that any group of religious persons who claim to be a Christian is actually a Christian?

becareful, check the doctrine and teachings of any church if it is indeed scriptural before joining them.
I thank God your eyes are open to some of the errors of Roman catholicism.
For your parents continue to be obedient towards them, lovingly point them to christ as the ultimate and all sufficient saviour. Lead them in prayers and show good examples and very soon they would join you.

Madam, I am not angry with the poster. If you are not a false accuser, point out any sentence that depicts anger in my comment.

2.
I didn't make any attempt to talk about Catholicism because the poster has not mentioned the errors he claims to have discovered in Catholicism. So, I don't know what you are talking about in this regard.

The point is that you are a false accuser. I never said whoever claims to be a Christian is a Christian. And I am not angry with the poster. You are just a crafty accuser trying to detail the topic.
Re: Any Advice For A Former Catholic Turned Christian?(am 18) by Livingdeath(m): 8:47pm On May 23
catholics arent really christians in the spiritual sense,they follow Christ with their mouths but their doctrines are not in accordance with his words.they are the kind of people the Lord will rebuke and say he does not know them despite them doing miracles in his name.
immortalcrown:
You are not yet a Christian. No Christian will caption a post as you do here. I see that you want to be a Christian but you are still very fanatic and narrow-minded probably because of your environment and your young age. May God help you to successfully become a Christian.

Your caption means you see Catholics as non-Christians. No Christian will say such. As a matter of fact, Catholics do not refer to Orthodox people and Pentecostal people as non-Christians. But you who think you are more Christian than Catholics refer to Catholics as non-Christians. This is why the Bible says that he who thinks he stands should be careful to avoid falling.

Kindly mention those catholic doctrines that are not biblically right. Give an explanation for each one you mention.

Don't derail the post. Catholicism means the doctrines of the Catholic. I didn't talk about Catholicism in the comment. I simply pointed out that Catholics do not refer to Orthodox and Pentecostal people as non-Christians, I didn't it to let the poster know his caption is wrong.

Stop beating around the bush. Is the caption of the post right? If yes, explain. Stop trying to change the topic.

If that is so, it means that your view is that both Catholics and Pentecostals are true Christians.
Therefore I asked you if contradictory doctrines are accepted in the body of Christ?

My view is that there are Christians in every Christian denomination.
