xtians are so quick to judge Muslism, insult prophet Muhammad etc.Muslims worship everyday together in the same mosque decently but in xtianity,someone going to living faith church cannot just enter CAC church and worship the same God.Jehovah witness cannot marry from Anglican church and so on.yet they call Muslims names.There is God oo!

Go back to the Bible toddler and check how churches are being planted

asuustrike2009:

None of them. I have the images in my house because I admire it not to bow to it

Most things isn't about her... But the critics chose to magnify that part just to discredit us.

Hail Mary is a prayer with Biblical backing.. basically the Angel and Elizabeth's greetings to Mary.

The Catholic Church is vast with a lot of societies. Legion of Mary, Sacred heart of Jesus, the Charismatic renewal and a whole lot of others. But detractors only choose to talk about the Marian societies.

I remember in 2011, I had a roommate who was an adventist. And you know adventists are the biggest critics to the Catholic Church. He kept bashing until we made a deal. Fridays we both attend the adventists vesper service and Saturday worship and on Sundays we attend the Catholic Church.

We began having robust discussion about the rituals of the mass and the Biblical roots and his opinion changed forever. Take your time.. Visit a Catholic Church, pay attention to her rituals and doctrines, read about the Biblical backings online and maybe.. just maybe, you'll judge the church a little less harshly.

The church made a lot of mistake in her past. But that doesn't make the church as evil as you all try to paint her

The man saw were I was headed n he ran away....this man agrees that symbols were used in worshipping God, he agrees that these symbols were reverenced not worship....he agrees that reverence is not worship..... But he simply doesn't agree that the images used n d catholic church r not idols but symbols , he doesn't agree that reverencing what that symbol represents is not worship the image....how better can one define hypocrisy

TheArchangel:
Even worshipping Jesus sound so absurd that I prefer being a deist instead. Jesus and Mary what's the difference? One is the son of God while the other is the mother of God. Why does it irks the protestants so much that Catholics reverence both. ?......hypocrites.

asuustrike2009:

If you talk of Catholic I dey gidigba. But the truth of the Matter is that they worship idols

Confuciusng:


There are passages in the bible you'd read and never understand, unless there is divine guidance from the Holy Spirit. But there are also some passages that are written clearly and do not need divine intervention for comprehension.

You remember Exodus 25, when God instructed the children of Israel to build a place he could dwell, his sanctuary.
Well, the Catholic Church just decided to follow this description when they designed the pope's throne. Is it a coincidence/conspiracy?
Exodus 25:17-19 ...'And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.'

“The LORD reigns; Let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cherubim; Let the earth be moved!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭99:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/psa.99.1.nkjv
The pope sits on something a little like that too:

“Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/mat.23.9.nkjv
Yet you all call the pope the Holy Father.

The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh." (Evangelical Christendom, January 1, 1895, pg. 15, published in London by J. S. Phillips)
"The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God and the vicar of God."(Ferraris Ecclesiastical dictionary). You can go check these out, they said this stuff. No be play play.
The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth."(Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, Cities Petrus Bertanous).
Wow, am shocked.

Am already laughing.. Lolsss.I thought Christianity is a perfect religion. Nawaoo,some worship Mary while some worship Jesus.

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them... So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia ... to Cyprus" (Acts 13:2-4). These missionaries (Apostles) as a first church planting team were sent out by the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit used them to "make disciples" and to "plant churches" in different towns (Acts 13:52; 14:22).

If u agree that bowing down does not mean worship y den do u accuse catholics of worshipping Mary??

TheArchangel:
Catholics dont worship images or any other thing except God. Period. Take it to fort Knox

joshnes:
This one you're saying is beating around the bush. My main message here is you do not need symbols anymore. If you are a christian you've got what/who is better and greater than any statue or symbol of any man or woman, saint or apostle. If you are really born again, you've got Jesus, what do you need symbols for again? If you've got the real deal why deal with what is past? The time of symbols and statues and arks are gone, this is the time of those who are walking arks of the covenant, carrying God and beign the symbols themselves.

freshboi88:


Yeah u right.... Y not worship with Shiites now.....y is there enimity bw Iran and saudi arabia

Proffdada:

Shiite deviate totally from Islam,they pray 3times daily instead of 5times according to the Holy Quran.They praise their imam instead of God.So I can't worship with them.

The statue of Mary and Jesus.

dingbang:
I decided to hit the nail right through its head and call out all pentecostals (Followers of Martin Luther) in Nairaland to tell the whole world why they think the Catholic Church is not a Bible Believing Church.

On what basis will a Church be termed "Non bible Believing"?


Let's have your Opinions ..

I will do a post here soon to make some clarifications about the catholic faith. I noticed, most people don't really understand what christianity is all about. There are alots Christians needs to know about the history of our salvation and how it affects u as a christian.

amunkita:


If addressing someone is prayer, why don't u guyz pray using the 12 disciples afterall go to the books of Philipians, Timothy, Ephesians nd see how these men were addressed by other great men of God.
I belive in the trinity but if Mary is the mother of God then the passage that sayz come to the father through the son is contradicting right Afterall they re one....

Wait oooo, did u say Mary was born without sin?
My brother, u see u guyz know very little of the bible, open to Psalm 51 vs 5, ephesian 2 vs 3, we re born sinners expect u can prove the above passage false.

This is no quest brother, take away sentiment nd seek knowledge nd you would be free..
Can also see u ve avoided other questions I raised...
