No! You are Wrong.πŸ˜•

Law of Moses is JUDAISM, the Religion practiced by the Pple of Israel. πŸ™‚

Catholic church was formed from the Early Disciples of Christ. smiley

But as Centuries went by, the Catholic Church came up with those Doctrines to make Men more Religious!.
E.g. The Rosary, Intercessory Prayers to the Saints, Confession, Belief in Purgatory,etc.

In Reality, It's good the Catholic church made these Doctrines.

They helped to Checkmate Man and his Excesses. sad

Because without Religion, Mankind will DESTROY itself. undecided


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!!!!

Lolss, since na 10years u go, you have forgotten the process. πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜„

After you do Confession, the Priest tells you to do some Penance. (E.g. Pray Our Father, Hail Mary,etc)

It's after you have done those Prayers, that we can say your Sins are forgiven. smiley

The Laws of Moses are incorporated into JUDAISM which the Pple of Israel practice currently. smiley

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! πŸ™‚

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. 🀨

Oga, it is better to confess ur sins to your Friend than to a Catholic Priest or any so-called Pastor who will use your confession as sermon on Sundays

So are you trying to say your friend will not go and tell another of her friend. I think you don’t understand the concept of confession, that is why you can compare it.

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.

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!

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.

Wake up.. This is 2023, stop being delusional!

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?

Stop talking about things you know nothing about. A priest does not decide whether your sins would be forgiven or not.

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.”

God’s 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.”


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.

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. The priest are human being that can falls into temptation. They don't pretend to be pastors that keep on making fake declaration up and down.

Stop bringing this civilization this in to every issue we know where to apply science where necessary and some of us have accepted our religion as an inseparable part of our life's.

But any time I read Psalm 51 I still feel a lil bit built..

But when I enter okada to church after long queue to confess, it's hard for me to go back that sin again and I feel relieved cos I don't Want stress again..

I will make sure I avoid the sins so I won't stress myself going back again for penance

This was how I went to seek advice from a pastor friend of mine. The next Sunday I went to his church to worship, he didn't know I was in the congregation. This dude used my predicament to preach, though he didn't mention my name. He poured out everything I said word for word. Right from that day I stopped going to any pastor for advise.
