all I can say is "no substitute is good enough for God's word"

Question: "What does the Bible say about marriage?"

Answer: The creation of marriage is recorded in Genesis 2:23-24: "The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called “woman,” for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." God created man and then made woman to complement him. Marriage is God’s “fix” for the fact that “it is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).

The word “helper” used to describe Eve in Genesis 2:20 means “to surround, to protect or aid, help.” Eve was created to be alongside Adam as his "other half," to be his aid and his helper. A man and woman, when married, become "one flesh." This oneness is manifested most fully in the physical union of sexual intimacy. The New Testament adds a warning regarding this oneness. "So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:6).

There are several epistles written by the apostle Paul that refer to marriage and how believers are to operate within the marriage relationship. One such passage is 1 Corinthians chapter 7, and another is Ephesians 5:22-33. When studied together, these two passages provide biblical principles that form a framework for a God-pleasing marriage relationship.

The Ephesians passage is especially profound in reference to a successful biblical marriage. "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior" (Ephesians 5:22-23). "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25). "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church” (Ephesians 5:28-29). “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh” (Ephesians 5:31).

When a believing husband and wife institute God’s principles, a biblical marriage results. A biblically based marriage is one that is in balance, with Christ as the head of the man and the wife together. The biblical concept of marriage is a oneness between two individuals that pictures the oneness of Christ with His church.

How can pope be God,? you well so? Abi you drink ogogoro

You don't sound well. You sound drunk.

The pope have spoken well

menesheh:



How certain are you that there is, remotely a thing called god that ever said anything. There is no claim or moral obligation ever maintain by any religion that can't also be the product of human mind. Religion is world greatest illusion to ever infiltration our human society.

This is potentially a good and valid evidence testifying that religion is basically the product of our human society (man made)

I'm not interested in your atheistic discussions for now. There are opportunistic atheists too.

Smh.

I am a Catholic but this makes me see this Pope as weak, why can't he be firm and say No to things? He easily succumbs to pressure.

The Pope is not God, rather the visible head of Christ on earth, the vicar of Christ...


remember, Christ said to Simon Peter "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall never prevail against thee"


God bless the Pope!

Is Simon Peter the Pope's earliest form? Was he the Pope?

Some people can twist one book to mean so many things, one verse to create their own god.

He is not qualified to speak for the Church. He's on his own, speaking for himself na.

Vicarius Filii Dei has spoken

All i can see here is pope is just been silence about the truth....

Carefully read that verse from d start. Peter answered a question asked by Jesus on who he is. Peter called him d 'messiah'.Now it was this fact (Jesus bn d messiah) that is d rock upon which d church is built, and not on d person of Peter. Jesus is the saviour, messiah, upon which d gates of hell shall never prevail. Tanx again bro

I've read the verse again bro.... here is it : Matthew 16, 16-19 "Good for you, Simon son of John!" answered Jesus. For this truth did not come to you from any human being, but it was given to you directly by my Father in heaven. and so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will be able to overcome it. I will give you the keys to of the Kingdom of heaven; what you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven "

We have heard.
But we have our eyes on the 'Holy Father' (one who cannot sin again) and we are watching all his romance with politics, business and the hidden secrets of the catholic church.

As for you indoctrinated ones, (drunk on the brainwashing catechisms that have been hammered into your heads from a very young age, so much you can't seem to find your own mindset again) continue in the worship of the infallible "Holy Father" and Mary the 'Queen of the World'

Time will tell....

When did Simon Peter become the Pope? He personally went about establishing the office of the Pope? Come off it!

People can turn the words of a book to their favor, and twist the few words of a verse to suit their inventions.

As long as I see[b] no biblical backing[/b],then it remains his own personal opinion just as I have mine.
Best he resigns though,since he and the bible don't seem to see eye to eye

Read this excerpt from the bible:John 20:30,31 "There were other signs and proofs of our Lord's resurrection, but these were committed to writing, that all might believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah, the Saviour of sinners, and the Son of God; that, by this faith, they might obtain eternal life, by his mercy, truth, and power. May we believe that Jesus is the Christ, and believing may we have life through his name"

So if I were to tell you a certain woman named Veronica wiped the face Jesus with a piece of clothing after he felled the third time while carrying the cross on his way to Calvary you tell me it's my opinion because it's not written in the bible shebi? As a matter of fact that piece of clothing is presently in Rome with the face of Jesus imprinted upon it.

No need to argue that verse with you.

But what are the evidences you have that Peter settled in Rome, not to talk of being called a Pope or Leader there?


The bible clearly showed us that Peter, James and co were the leaders of the church in Jerusalem. Even the church in Rome was set up by travelling Jews and gentiles who heard the gospel and went back to start a church.

So where did the title of Pope began?
Who instituted all the endless sacraments?
Did the bible document all the ceremonies the catholic church does today?

It is the opinion and,belief of people like you that gets easily trapped in the waves of peddled deceits and propaganda of the Catholic church.

It will be easy to create different stories around the life and,death of Jesus to form another sets of understanding and point to the scripture you quote as evidence that these cooked up stories happened.

Actually many of such as been done already- Peter being the 1st pope, Sacraments, Canonization, the perfect holiness of the Pope... scams that you have been fed with from the days of your catechism

I am mostly in agreement with most of his submissions here, though I am not catholic. We as christians should learn to leave judgement for God, ours is to Love others as Jesus taught us.

Ditto

Catholic church says cohabit if finance is your problem

Bible say marry if you have burning desire for each other. Wedding requires money marriage does not.

I go with the bible.

Your head is there. We don't care if its Pope or bishop or anything, if that's not what the Bible says, then its a NO.

now you are talking!
where and how did Peter died? How did James and other disciples died? oh I remember, they didn't die because it wasn't in the Bible!
you see?
The Holy Sacraments are all listed in the Bible! Let me not continue because this page won't hold all I have to say! How I wish we could meet in person to clear everything up.....


go and make your findings about the history of the early Church and study the scriptures well.... God bless you!

Nobody knows the meaning of Pope. We only know what the Roman Catholics have showed us a Pope to be: a man they worship, whose dead feet they kiss, a man equated with the son of God(vicarii filli dei). He certainly wasn't a biblical fixture. He is an invention of an organization hell bent on adding and subtracting what it pleases from the Bible.

The sooner people know the Pope for who he is-he's not a spiritual descendant of Simon Peter, by the way-the easier their lives will be.

I won't argue with you. if you don't believe what Christ said about St. Peter in the Bible, then who am I for you to believe?

May the Grace of God be upon you His Holiness now and forever, AMEN. God bless you for this.

So how does what Christ said about Peter translate to the title of Pope or their infallibility? Or did Christ make an everlasting covenant with him as Pope and all that would lead after him? Did Christ suggest in anyway that He and other leaders after him will be regarded as "not able to commit sin"? Or are all these Popes related to Peter?

You are trying hard to defend matters that you only know little about. The Catholic Church is deeply steeped in Mysticism, Occultism and secrecy. All you see in their ceremonies and cathedrals are just a grand cover which easily sells to,you the laity

Don't argue with me. Just accept that the Bible never named Simon Peter a Pope. That is a fallacy induced by indoctrination.

Nothing I earlier mentioned is untrue. I only regret not mentioning the true origins of the Pope, his hat and the other fallacies of Catholicism.
