my fear is that when this Rev. Fr dies other people may begin to steal it or worship it once that image is not destroyed.

THATS WHY BIBLE IS A STORY BOOK BRUH

Chijeep:

Bible is never a story book. It's just like mathematics, u can't use HCF method to solve LCM and Visa versa.
Why God disallowed images in a portion is that the people have turned it to there God n why he allowed it in another portion is to beautify the temple in the case of Solomon and give glory to his name in the case of the bronze serpent.

Ruggman:
The priest is simply saying that he is in the wrong vocation and faith.
There is nothing to cheer about his actions.
LIGHT HAS NOTHING IN COMMON IN DARKNESS, AND THE ALTAR OF HAS NO AGREEMENT WITH THE ALTAR OF IDOLS
NO PRIEST CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS , OR ON TWO ALTARS.
AVOID CONFUSSION, JOIN THE NATIVE PRIEST IF YOU ARE TIRED OF SERVING AS A PRIEST OF GOD ALMIGHTY.

Chijeep:

So why did Solomon disobeyed God by building winged creatures in the temple?
And why did God have to tell Moses to make a bronze serpent when he already ordered them not to make any image?

Men saving their gods in time of trouble

arikogomez:
I'm ashamed of that priest preserving idol instead converting people to the kingdom of God, can that priest place that idol in the house of or his home.
All that belong to Satan not for Child of God, some persons prefer their idolatry tradition than God Almighty. Those persons supporting the priest, did any of you have the Jesus Christ movie, ur pastor sermon or Christian movies and biblical film. You can't serve Almighty God and idol at the same time. Be wise little thing can stain ur white garment.

Christistruth00:

Acts 17. 24-26

24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[b]

Acts 19:19
A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.


Jeremiah 43:12
And I shall set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely.

Kobojunkie:
Rubbish! Did Jesus Christ send you out to go burn idols?

That command was given you by the doctrines and traditions of your Mogs, themselves false Teacher and prophets masquerading as Christians.

spencekat:
Thank you.You are correct!

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ is the Master whosw teachings and commandments you are called to submit to and I was specific in asking you whether He, the one you supposedly serve, sent you out to burn idols in His name. I didn't ask what others chose to do since you are not called by Jesus Christ to do what others do, but instead to do wha He tells you to do. So... did Jesus Christ ask you to burn idols in His name or on His behalf?

Did Jesus Christ suggest in some way that to stop worshipping, say money, you should burn all your currency notes , credit cards, bank statements and coins?

Christistruth00:
.Matt 21: 12
Jesus at the Temple
12Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13“It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ e but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’ f ”

Kobojunkie:
Ok.... so what idols did Jesus Christ declare , and burn or destroy in all of that ?

Are you certain this isn't a case of your trying to make the passage say or infer what it clearly does not?

I ask because money changers are not idol worshippers, neither is the money pointed out as idols by Jesus Christ in that context. Heck, their buying and selling is not recorded as sinful acts

Christistruth00:
.Matt 6 :24

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Christistruth00:

Luke 4:8
New International Version

8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[a]
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Kobojunkie:
Absolutely! Anyone who belongs in the Kingdom of God is urged against serving two masters.

But where in that context are you taught by Jesus Christ that in order to stop serving the Master called money,you should burn all your currency notes , credit cards, bank statements and coins?

Christistruth00:

Matt 19:21 niv

21Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth!

Kobojunkie:
So, none of those answers any of the questions I have asked you so far as regards the teachings of Jesus Christ ..

again....
1. Ok.... so what idols did Jesus Christ declare , and burn or destroy in all of that ?

2.Are you certain this isn't a case of your trying to make the passage say or infer what it clearly does not?

3. I ask because money changers are not idol worshippers, neither is the money pointed out as idols by Jesus Christ in that context. Heck, their buying and selling is not recorded as sinful acts.

Christistruth00:

Revelation 19:20, NIV: "But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur."

AntiChristian:


Are those images being worshiped?

OBALOLA55:
KEEP ON DECEIVING YOURSELF

Kobojunkie:
You serve a master by submitting to and obeying His teaxhings and commandments...that is what is Jesus Christ taught to you.

At the point where a person no longer submits to and obeys a master, that relationship is nullified - no burning of items or material objects necessary.

Or do you stop worshipping money by burning all your currency notes, coins and credit cards?

Kobojunkie:
You know, what God said in Hosea 4 vs 1-14 is a real problem. Many who claim to believe in Jesus Christ suffer because they do not have real knowledge of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ at all.

So, none of those answers any of the questions I have asked you so far as regards the teachings of Jesus Christ ..

again....
1. Ok.... so what idols did Jesus Christ declare , and burn or destroy in all of that ?

Nomiyesupersaint:
Well said boss,but since you are not worshipping these deities again why collecting and saving them? If the priest still collects and saves them,definitely he is still serving two masters.

Christistruth00:

Matthew 4:10 ESV

Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’”

Kobojunkie:
I see you know how to cut-and-paste. But how about you show that you actually know the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ by actually attempting a direct answer to questions asked even if you have to cut-and-paste that too.

Absolutely! Anyone who belongs in the Kingdom of God is urged against serving two masters.

But where in that context are you taught by Jesus Christ that in order to stop serving the Master called money,you should burn all your currency notes , credit cards, bank statements and coins?

Kriss216:
Nice one padre.

One should not forget his origin. We're Africans first before religion.


God bless you immensely, padre.

Christistruth00:

Luke 9: 3-6

3He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. 4Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

ARRANT NONSENSE

CHOOSE YE TODAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE,A AS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, WE WILL SERVE THE LIVING GOD.



CATHOLIC CHURCH ARE KNOWN FOR BOWING FOR IDOLS AND THE STATUES OF THEIR SO-CALLED SON OF god AND HIS MOTHER


I TESTIFY THAT NO god DESERVE TO BE WORSHIPPED EXCEPT ALMIGHTY GOD

MOVIC6:
Can you explain more on your assertions...

JayB11:

I am a Catholic, i kneel and pray at the Altar and God has never failed me. My prayers, he has answered, and my problems of today and tomorrow, he will surely conquer for me.

So what is it that you are trying to talk about a Church with over a Billion population? Did u travel to Heaven to find out what is sin or evil, or who is right or wrong? Only God knows.....

So shut your lousy mouth up and have a good thought about your life.

Kobojunkie:
By saying that God of Jesus Christ is the one that answers your prayers, you instead declared Him, the God who said that He will never answer to anyone who does that which is not of Him, a liar.

I tell you what..even those who worship and pray to voodoo altars gets their prayers answered. That does not then mean their prayers were answered by God. There are powers that can indeed answer prayers out there. No doubt, but if your acts are against God Almighty, that power cannot be of Him... that is important to note of God's message to us all.

That is why Jesus Christ by declaring that those who belong to Him cannot serve two masters, admitted that there are indeed other masters out there that one can equally serve but not at the same time as He.

As for what is sin, that is clearly defined right there in the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the Law that those who serve Him are meant to live by. Sin has never been a mystery, nor arbitrarily defined for us by God..
