Now the Catholic Church wants us to go to theunderstand all through Nyaatha's bones; How is this different from worshipping idolatry.
Is the God so unreachable that we have to ask a human being to intervene on our behalf, how different is that human being from the rest of us. What if the human being misinterpreted our prayers or does s/he understand all the languages? @Swenani the theologian and official interpreter of scripture..... lol! do you know catholics don't just follow the bible as you know it but have one with more books plus they have church tradition (think hadiths for muslims). If you argue that the Bible is the only book to be used as an authority... the question "says who?" would be thrown your way. Just let them be! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

It's idle to evaluate another's belief; but responsible for one to evaluate his own. And the bottom line is one's survival and flourish, and heaven and hell are merely but crutches for this divine purpose.

The only way to God is by accepting His grace by faith that Jesus Christ is LORD and personal SAVIOUR. Without faith in the redeeming power of Jesus Christ, one cannot please God nor find eternal life. There are no ifs, buts, maybes, alternatives... there's only ONE RIGHT WAY! Not through Mohammed, Allah, Buddha, Krishna or what have you. Believing in these religions will send you straight to hell. I speak the truth in brotherly love.

There's overwhelming evidence that Catholicism is not the true Christianity but a perverted form of it; riddled with pagan, Satanic rituals and men's doctrines. Sadly, this church system is DECEIVING billions of souls straight to hell. All through the ages, that "mother of all harlot churches" has killed millions of Christians for their testimony of Christ. Ditto the Jews. We now know the Pope worked hand in hand with Hitler during the Holocaust abetting their murder. Watch how that same anti-Christ spirit today continues to side with Palestinians to disenfranchise the Jews of their God given land.

@murchr How do you propose this relationship with God is to be had? Under what context? How does one approach God to have a relationship with Him? Please, I want you to tell me!

It should be personal. You and your creator and whatever doctrine you subscribe to. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

So what's the constant here? God or the person? If when I was 20 years old, I prayed to Krishna, but now I've decided Nyasaye to be my God...so was I wrong earlier by praying to Krishna? Am I the one to determine who God is?

Am I the one to determine who God is? 1. Whatever you believe, am sure you have a reason for your decisions. 2. Yes, you are the one to determine who God is when you find him in whatever way. 3. I don't know if you were wrong or right. Those were your decisions and I was not involved in anyway whatsoever in making them. That's why I maintain it's a personal decision/relationship.

My issue with cCatholic church is that, you cannot demonised one thing then comeklater to glorify it. If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

You know deep down inside your soul that what you're saying makes no sense! Did you create yourself? Do you know what tomorrow or even what the next minute portends for you? Do you know when or how you shall die? Since we know the answers to all those questions is no, shouldn't that be cause for our humility and awe of a supreme being (Jehovah God) that is greater than our minds can ever fathom? For all human life is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower in the grass. We bloom then we die. And the cycle continues.. 1st Peter 1:24. I hope and pray you may come to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and your life will never be the same again!

Lucifer is referred to as a "morning star" in the bible. He rejected FAITH in God and chose intellect/knowledge, then went ahead and preached that false doctrine to Eve and many others even today. And look at the resultant mess nature is in. Without FAITH you cannot please God.

The problem with people in this world is that everyone one thinks that the denominations or religions they subscribe to are the best. They have made the right choice and the others are wrong. Common sense dictates otherwise. Democracy does not belong to the dead

Religion is about faith. We choose to believe what we want. Why then should you seek to choose for others what you believe. Selfishness at it's best. Democracy does not belong to the dead
