Vinnie2000: Dude, study your bible very well, esp the old testament, that's where catholic found and practical their religion. Everything about catholic was coined from Moses and his laws. I don't know why you're arguing blindly. Read your bible to understand all these things I'm saying. Esp Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Read it up and understand the Catholic church doctrine! Oga, what are you even saying? The apostles weren't the founded of catholics! The apostles founded the early church!! This means that catholic has been in existence even before the apostles were converted by Christ! Oga the Roman Catholics have been practicing the law of Moses even before Christ came and after he left, they still continued practicing the laws of Moses! I just told you that the Leviticus were the priest in Deuteronomy and they followed the laws of Moses! Neither Jesus Christ nor his apostles were in existence then! So what are you saying? Dude, you should Stop confusing yourself! Read your bible and ask yourself if what catholic practice is what Jesus Christ taught? Did Jesus Christ asked you to pray to your priests to forgive u your sin? Na ment? I just don't get it, did he asked you to pray to Mary to intercede for you? Na Mary die for humanity? Dude all these were gotten from the laws of Moses which catholic still practice till date!!!! |

Honchoslim16: Dat's a LIE.π Over Centuries till now, All the Doctrines the Catholic church came up with were to raise strong Religious consciousness in Pple. To Checkmate their vices and Wildness. π€π Without Religion in a society, there is DANGER as such society could destroy itself. Even now, Compare kids born into highly Religious homes with those raised by Yahoo Boys and Runs Girls. |

GO0DHardDick: Stop Arguing unnecessarily. The Laws of Moses are incorporated into JUDAISM which the Pple of Israel practice currently. Catholic church was founded by early Apostles of Christ from those regions of Rome, Jerusalem,etc.. As Years Rolled by, they formed those Doctrines (which have Biblical backings by the way) to Make their members more Religious! π Mary, the Saints, Confession,etc are NOT seen in the Laws of Moses or Judaism. They were Made to make the Catholic members of that era, more Prayerful and draw closer to God. π€¨ |

Vinnie2000: Doesn't this sound so lame to you? Why can't you ask God directly for forgiveness? Why must it be thru a priest who, in some cases, even has worse sins than yours? The simple truth is that most of you catholic faithfuls are just blindly following the traditions of the church. |
Re: Do Catholics In Nigeria Actually Confess To Their Priests? by GoodRocks: 11:35am On Jun 18, 2023 |
Vinnie2000: Oga catholic church weren't founded by the apostles!!!!! Catholic church has been in existence before Christ and his apostles came!!!! No dey cap carelessly again! You earlier said catholic practice Christianity laid down by Jesus Christ, and I asked you where in the Bible did Jesus Christ asked you to pray to your priests to forgive u your sin? Or ask Mary to intercede for you? You said it has biblical backup? Oya show us where Jesus Christ said it in the Bible? Dude you're just confusing yourself aswear, you should read your bible properly! Read the old testament very well, the laws of Moses and it practices. Then read the New testament and know the reason why Christ came! Oga Christ came to abolish those laws catholic are currently practicing and to intercede and reconcile man to God (not Mary interceding for you, because a dead forgotten woman cannot intercede for you) na the old testament law of Moses catholic still dey practice! That's exactly how catholic came about practicing the laws of Moses! E dey your bible. Read am! Go read Deuteronomy and Leviticus. No dey argue blindly again! Seriously catholics and Jehovah witness are the people i can never engage in a conversation with. They've been brainwashed by their priests and teachers! If you don't come up with biblical quotation supporting your claims, (the normal bible, not catholic bible) then Na my last response to you be this! |

Honchoslim16: In that case, you are a mumu who is just learning work as far as atheism is concerned. The theory of evolution of man from a primate to modern human being called homo sapiens is the foundation of Darwinian theory of evolution. Even amongst your fellow atheists you will be considered a dimwitπ€£ No one knows what life looks like before birth and we won't know what life looks like after death!! Get your illiterate mind out of the gutter. We are not talking about sex, we're talking about the origins of all life. Science believes in cause and effect. In science there can be no effect without a cause. So what caused life to come into existence? Did it come into existence on its own? I don't need a religion for me to have morals.... Nigeria has laws for citizens to follow, if we break any of the laws then we are going to jail. So where do laws come from? Every law that regulates human behaviour has its roots in a fundamentally objective moral code. Where does yours come from? Where 1 Like |

Freedom2023: Stop talking about things you know nothing about. A priest does not decide whether your sins would be forgiven or not. Save yourself from misinformation.

Mt. 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, [Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means the LORD saves.] because he will save his people from their sins.β Godβs purpose in bringing Jesus Christ into the world was clearly stated by the angel in Mt. 1:21; to save the world from sins. Sin is rebellion towards God. Mt. 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Mt. 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.β The Church is supposed to fulfill the Great Commission, which is all about teaching the world to obey every commandment of God. 2Ti. 1:8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 2Ti. 1:9a who has saved us and called us to a holy life. Every member of the Church has been called by God to a holy life.

Chilled red wine for you bro.. people keep saying things ignorantly, Good some call it crime, some call it sin, some call it taboo, some call it treason, some call it violating my autonomy. Whatever they call it , it has one thing in common. It's all WRONG behaviour. How we define it differs. At the end of the day whatever the Catholics call it does not wreck your life man.

Freedom2023:Confession doesn't mean the priest will pray in order for your sins to be forgiven but rather a counselling and at the end you are asked to go and pray and also, he will pray for you as well.
