Thanks Father for this. Please more of this is needed. I am not a catholic but I love your responses. They are really giving me a clearer view about the catholic church
Perfectly explained... Mysteries of Jesus Christ (God) and the church require divine wisdom to be understood by only the humble ones given the grace. No proud heart can understand these mysteries.
Very happy d way u addressed dat issue of Abel Damina. He thinks is by reading d Bible n having personal understanding of it. You hv explained everything to him if he likes let him take d correction or not. Thank u Father. God bless u.
Padre, thanks for your response so far to Abel Damian. Those who are open to the Holy Spirit teaching and not that of motivational speakers understand the importance of the Eucharist.
When jesus said he that drink of my water shall thirst no more are we no thirst even today that was a spiritual thing but he used a physical thing to explain it to man's understanding
Father the context you explained about alter Christus is like an ambassador, a representative, but it's not only the preist that should do that all members of the Catholic Church should be alter Christus in your context but that is not the case, can a Catholic member be called out during a mass to come and administer the eucharis, if no you are not equipping your members which is what is instructed in the bible
In St Mary's Catholic Church we have members of the church that volunteers themselves to give communion with the priest but not that the priest will come in the middle of the mass start calling people to come and give communion. The catholic church is well organised
Very correct. Where there is need, the priest can assign lay faithfuls to distribute communion especially where the number of priests and religious are very few in church and the population of communicants are overwhelming.
Thank you Fr. You do not even need to waste your time replying that man. I am a Catholic and I will remain a Catholic forever. So let Abel go and teach him self and leave catholics alone.. We have enough issues in Nigeria that is bigger than this. I will be happy is Abel will go and address those issues instead teaching what he does not know..
In Nigeria, if you are very ELOQUENT both in writing and speaking or in just one, you will have a lot of followers and whatever you say is correct to them and anyone that dares to challenge, refute or question whatever you said will be aggressively attacked by your followers. That's exactly the case with Abel Damina. Also same with Reno Omokri and so many of many them. If want to have many followers, most of whom will always sing your praises whether you are right or wrong, just be ELOQUENT.
The same Abel Damini that enriched himself immensely through false teachings of God on TITHE & TITHING and only recently started confessing how empty he felt which for me is a good thing but failed give away those proceeds back to the poorest of the poor as Zaccheues did is now something else about the teachings of the universal church of Christ. For me, as children of God he should listen Fada's true explanations on this topic. I strongly believe the holy spirit would have moved the church before now to change her teachings on the subject if it was wrong.
Am still wondering if you watch the whole video reply of Dr. Abel Damina, cause if you did you won't be repeating the same circle he already dismantled
Fr., you don't need to be replying him. He is just looking for cheap popularity. Damina can't be the sole authority on Bible interpretation and definition of matters of doctrine and faith. It is the problem with one-man- owned churches. The opinion of the founders becomes the doctrine. Please, stop making Damina relevant. He is just looking for popularity.
Such personality like Abel Damina,cannot heed to such exercise, because he is a pride and arrogant man,who has the believe of all knowing. He is a freethinker and an agnostic. And catholics don't argue scriptures,and such debate because truth and mystery of faith cannot be subjects to debate,who is going to judge it! Catholic church has hold unto her teachings and believe from the 1st century till now,many has studied her and discovered that truth,so has decided to join her.
He is not making him relevant, He is trying to restore those who might be swayed by Abel Damina's teaching. Father please asides responding to him, there are other areas that needs to be touched that most Catholic find difficult to respond to in debates, it will be a great idea if you help us out once in a month. Thank you padre
Give yourself to research. Read Catholic doctrines and scriptures and you will be equipped. Pentecostals gets it hot from. I look for Pentecostals to enlighten.
The things of God are not based on approval or disapproval of followership. Just go and read the writings and see where humans have deviated from Christ’s teachings over the years. Even His disciples did not fully understand what He was teaching them. So yes, like it or not Abel Damina is digging out some ancient writings. He didn’t write them but he is giving you the references. Just go and do the reading yourself. It’s all there.
It's just that it is necessary to explain things to prevent Abel Damina from misleading Christians. Otherwise, he should have been ignored because he is apparently a distraction. This is because Pastor Damina could be aware of the truth but just trying to look for a market to grow his own Church with superficial Catholics. Most of the Churches that broke away from the Catholic Church started off like Abel Damina by taking doctrines out of context to deceive people so as to grow their own Church.
That man is unfortunately talking himself out of relevance. He is going to areas where he knows little or nothing about. It's so painful that he has started misleading people. This is what many like him have been doing to win more followers for more offering and more money to make themselves comfortable. He has lost it since he has Left preaching for human salvation to condemning churches, Catholic of all churches of which he knows little or nothing about
Father I love your explanations God bless you... But seriously on the issue of Another Christ .... Your explanation doesn't add up .... I believe you can do better...
I did have a special respect for him on the matter of tithing, but his debate and struggle to establish his views about the traditions of the Catholic church and what she teaches has made me lose respect for him. Nevertheless, it will be helpful for Abel Damina to read one of the church encyclical 'Fides et ratio'. Perhaps this will help him learn more in his quest for understanding. Nevertheless, his debate will help some to gain clarity of thought about Christ and his message of salvation as proclaimed by the Catholic Church universally.
@@righteousman8488he's not being told to abandon his Bible. His interpretation of scripture is erroneous, so it's like telling a sick person to take a bitter pill.

Fada Oluoma, please don't mention these Pentecostal pastors again. I think you mentioned him first that led to this barrage of insults to the precious Catholic faith. These Pentecostals don't read of know the Bible, they just worship the Bible. Ignore this people and save your face
No need of ignoring them because when they give wrong teachings or heresy because of their listeners. As a matter of fact they are leading so many astray with their teachings.
I really dont get it why people listen to him. The only interpretation of the bible that makes sense to me is on the issue of tithes. The rest of his teachings are disturbing.
Repent say if not you are heading straight to hell. Bread symbolises the Word of God and Wine symbolises the Holy Spirit. Read ephesian 5:18, Be not drunk with wine ( Alcoholic Spirit) but be filled with the Holy Spirit. Second crucifixion is blasphemy of His death. You allowing Satan use you to mock his death. All believers in christ are priest and not a select few. We are all acting in the person of Christ here and not a select few. YOU ARE IN IDOL WORSHIP. REPENT OR YOU PERISH
Millennial understanding, when this millennium passes,you will have another understanding, and there in lies your misinterpretations,for you can never know more about a writing than the person who penned the writing.
The Mass is the reoffering of the same sacrifice of the Cross, but in an unbloody and mystical manner. This is the simple definition of the Holy Mass. It's not a proclamation of his death.
Hebrews 10:10: "And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all". Hebrews 10:11-18: Jesus Christ offers a single sacrifice. Hebrews 10:12: "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God".
@@uyioghosaobasuyi7621 I don't have time for people who don't know the elementary of true Christianity, and what to engage in theological argument. Go and study your catechism because spreading your false exegesis. It is sad that people listen to charlatans like Mr. Damina spread their protestant ignorance. As a basic reply : The simple argument of St. Paul in his letter to the Hebrews ( which protestants misinterpret following their father, Martin Luther the condemned heretic ) is To show the inferiority, and imperfection of the old testament sacrifice vis a vis the new established by Christ. That 1.The old testament priests needed to offer the old animal sacrifice daily FOR THEIR OWN SINS AND THAT OF THE PEOPLE. 2. And that DESPITE the repetition of those old testament sacrifice of animals, it gave ONLY externally ritual cleansing purifying ONLY THE FLESH, but COULDN'T cleanse internally the "our conscience of dead works" . Cf. Hebrew 7... But that Christ was pure and perfect unlike the old testament priests and his sacrifice, and the victim of the sacrifice, which was himself was perfect, cleaning us INTERNALLY " that we may serve the living God" HEB. 9 v14 The purpose of his argument in this letter to the Hebrews Christians , who were familiar with the old sacrifice and were tempted to return to it, was to show the weakness and futility of the old sacrifice. Hence... The passage is NOT an argument against the re-offering of the sacrifice of the new law, the holy Mass , which in the book of Acts of the Apostles, we see the early church gather together to offer... The breaking of bread Acts 20:7. Which is in obedience to the last command of Christ to DO THIS in his memory.... The Mass is an action, it's not a mental recollection of the past. And the "bread" they broke, we know from 1 Cor. 10. is not ordinary break...it is the body of the Lord... and the cup is his blood. So if St. Paul was arguing in hebrew against the re-offering of the same single sacrifice of Christ (Holy Mass), why will he do it himself ? And don't even argue that the "body of Lord" and " cup of thanksgiving" is not a sacrifice, because he clearly calls the cup of thanksgiving his HIS BLOOD. The Sacrificial nature of the Mass is signified by the double consecration... .. first the host ( bread) is consecrated which makes present Christ on the altar. Then the chalice ( wine) is consecrated which in becoming the blood of Christ signify the spilling of his precious blood from his body....hence the mystical death of Christ on the altar.... the same death that happened once in a bloody manner on the Holy Cross. This is true and dogmatic teaching of the Roman Catholic Church concerning the Mass. PAX
Any Doctrine that shift you from christ, him. I mean him. to articles and physical things, or peršon is another gospel. As we behold like in a mirror/glass and are transformed from glory to glory. Amen
@NnamdiAnekwe from the original, the word memory wasn't translated accurately. It rather meant do eat it there with him in mind. As they were eating it on the table. We are not carnal men, but spirituals. We eat the meat of God by believing and speaking. Ez 3:1-4 I am sure the discipled later understand his message and its meaning after the ressurection. We are the circumcission that worship God in the spirit and have no confidence in the flesh. We get life by eating spiritual food not things made with hands. Glory!
@NnamdiAnekwe He has clearly stated, it's the spirit that gives life not the flesh. The flesh counts for nothing. John 6:62. Because they thought he wanted them to eat his physical body for meat. This the spirit that gives life. The words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. Not physical flesh or bread and juice /wine .
@NnamdiAnekwe Keeping hold unto shadows. Sad, sad. These articles were used to teach and communicate. The life is in the word not wine /juice and physical bread. What is a shadow? A shadow is only produced by an object. Is that shadow the object? No! When you see a shadow, it's to tell you there is a real object. Then how come you allow the real object and chase the shadow? Just lack of knowledge and wisdom. These articles where used to demonstrate. To teach Christ ( word) is the living bread not juice and bread served on tables Glory!
@@amz_news do this in memory of me did not say anything about the location. Your idea that he meant that they should eat it there on that table with him in mind is an idea that is not found anywhere, not even in the Bible. "Do this in memory of me" means nothing more than "do this with me in your mind." Full stop. Anything else you add to it is an assumption. In fact, if Christ was limiting it to that particular table and time, he probably would have said "eat it or eat this in memory of me." But no, instead he said, "do this", which means he's referring to the entire act of breaking the bread and the eating of it and not just the eating alone. Now, how do I know this? Let's go to 1 Corinthians 11:23-25. Verse 25 says "do this, as often as you drink it, in memory of me." This is Paul directly quoting Christ from the revelation he got from the Lord in verse 23. It's very clear. It was never a one-time event. Then, you quoted John 6:62. See, Christ was not talking about the physical human flesh. Christ was talking about human will or human power. Christ once said, cut off from me you can do nothing. So, he was saying that you can't achieve anything by human power but by the spirit. It's not about human flesh. How can human flesh profit nothing whereas Christ bought the salvation of the world using the same human flesh? Christ had to take that same human flesh to be able to buy our salvation. So it's about your human will. The word I speak to you is spirit and life is simply talking about the value of what Christ was telling them. Nothing more.
