Techwriter: You speak like someone with low IQ. Think deeply and you will recall seeing Catholics, Anglicans and Orthodox Christianity using candles to pray either in movies, magazines or even on foreign news channels. |

All the comments on he first page are grossly ignorant ones. I'm afraid of going through five more pages of ignorance. Can anyone tell me if anyone on the thread has tried to answer the question and on what page? |

There's no place written in the Bible that prayers should be said with a candle. Just pray with faith in your heart to God. |

Lighting candle has been time immemorial. It doesn't implicate any spiritual meaning but symbolise light of the gospel. It becomes a topic because of the way CCC & C&S uses it.... When it is being used for special prayer just like some Pentecostal churches pray on handkerchief, anointing oil and water. |

If one is a true Christian, and sees the Bible as his moral compass, that person is not suppose to pray using candle, it depicts idolatry . 1 Like |

Candles and incense are basically room fragrance. They are not prayer tools. |

gentleibraheem:Modernization has washed away so many things...I'm sure you would have preferred to see Jesus during His time or exist to witness the Altars,, sanctuaries,tabernacles, where He worshipped. Perhaps it would have looked more devilish to you. Just imagine how the ark of the covenant looked like and the instructions that came with it. No one has asked you to pray with a candle but when you see it on the Altars, it has its own symbolism, just like the elements of the ark of the convenant. overnight remote jobs I'm still wondering what Christianity will look like in Nigeria in the next 50years since we have chosen to continue eroding the religion with our modern human concepts. |

KENFERDYOORI:even if you are an atheist why can't you keep silent. Note that on the judgement day you will give account of every word that you speak. |

Abuventure: The young man I quoted spoke like an atheist.... He was very derogatory the way he spoke about Jesus and God. I simply said "Just a mindless show of atheism." What's wrong about that? Or you don't understand what that means? |

MiddleDimension: It's a principle of seeing into the supernatural. Different groups have different names for it. It's a Christian principle to see into the spirit realm. It's just like the Internet. Different network can access it. Some see Into the realm of the spirit by Gods power while some other by demonic power 1 Like |

MiddleDimension: First, there is the realm of life accessible only by Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit who is responsible for regeneration of every sinner who receives Christ at Salvation. Part of that work of salvation is the opening of the eyes (not physical) and giving of sight to the (spiritually) blind. Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. So that's why you find those who hear and see the demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and yet will not believe. That's why we intercede for them, that the blindness be destroyed. And I don't mean physical eyes. Then, there is the realm of visions and revelations which every Christian should access. E.g. The revelation of Christ. You can only know the Lord by revelation. To know hIm is to know eternal life. And because He is the author of all things, he can reveal even more to you. Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Then there are the prophetic gifts like the word of knowledge, visions, revelations etc accessible to God's people by the Holy Ghost. So whatever you wanna call it: third eye, fourth eye', whichever one you choose... in Christ Jesus, eyes are Open! NOTE: Whereas there is the general spirit realm in which anyone; mystics (Christian and non-Christian), witches, psychics and of course demons, can access and operate. But there is a place in Christ to which you only have access by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the risen Lord. The only principle in operation there is the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. (Rom 8:2) That place and the authority there is higher than any other, in heaven, on earth and under the earth. God himself has placed us his children there in Christ Jesus; far above all principality and power, whether physical, angelic or demonic (Eph 1:20-22).That is where we live and function from. Our authority is from there and our kingdom, greater than every other. Glory! Philippians 2:9-10 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; |
