@Ade__Amos @chukaobi It's was called the church at first till Ignatius the 3rd Bishop of antioch after st Peter, used the word.

[Raymond Ejike @Raymondbuzor]

@Ade__Amos @chukaobi It's not my place to be doing research work with him on twitter. Nevertheless since una no get data to ask Google for common public knowledge

[Raymond Ejike @Raymondbuzor]

@UTDMan247048 @PhtEmmanuelO God did not decide to hide them you just refused not to see them. These books and teaching are available to the public. The church compiled 73 books 1500yrs later Luther removed 7 after the reform and gave yall 66 books

[Raymond Ejike @Raymondbuzor]

@UTDMan247048 @PhtEmmanuelO The bible isn't the word of God. It is not the sole authority. Christ is the word of God. Christ whom the father give authority did not mince words he spoke planely, if you do not eat of my flesh and drink of my blood you do not have life.The above apostles had something to say

@UTDMan247048 @PhtEmmanuelO Once you see it you can't unsee it. These are the men that were taught by the disciples. Before you read their sermons keep an open mind.

[Raymond Ejike @Raymondbuzor]

@UTDMan247048 @PhtEmmanuelO Bible😄, we are trying to tell you everything was not included while compiling the books in bible. There's more to your inheritance than just the bible. I will just give you names look them up. Clement, Polycap, Evodius, Ignatius, Irenaeus, Augustine, Jerome.

@Sacre_Coeur03 @joshwhitlatch They never Google, and everybody has the dam app. The mf does not have the decency to verify with a simple Google search

[Raymond Ejike @Raymondbuzor]

@joshwhitlatch I'm convinced Catholicism is a "cult". I'm glad to have been initiated. Guess what I will never leave. My regret is not being strong enough in thus cult

[Fr. Evaristus Bassey @FrEvaristus]

This is not an everyday kind of activity in the church. Might even look cringy. But the Bible provides precedents for God acting through material remains or objects linked to holy persons:
• Elisha’s bones revived a dead man (2 Kings 13:20–21).
• Handkerchiefs and aprons that touched St. Paul healed the sick and drove out demons (Acts 19:11–12).
• Even Peter’s shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:15); the woman with the issue of blood was healed by touching Jesus’ cloak (Matthew 9:20–22 / Mark 5:27–29).
Early Christians treated the remains of martyrs with great respect. When martyrs were executed others gathered their remains and buried them properly. Sometimes only bones remained as flesh had rotted. The early Christians sometimes celebrated the Eucharist near or over the martyrs’ tombs, reflecting Revelation 6:9 (souls of martyrs under the altar). The practice is ancient and predates any formal theologizing.

We call them relics, from Latin relinquere which means, “to leave behind”. A relic is a physical object with a direct association with a saint or Christ. Traditional Catholic classification is as follows:
• First-class: Bodily remains (bones, blood, etc.) or items directly tied to Christ’s life/Passion (e.g., True Cross, the Shroud of Turin etc) or the saints.
• Second-class: Items owned or used by a saint (clothing, personal objects).
• Third-class: Objects touched to a first or second-class relic.

Core Theological Principles:
• Bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit: Saints’ bodies were living members of Christ and temples of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16–17; 6:19). They remain connected to the person and will share in the resurrection and glorification. Venerating them affirms the goodness of the body and the promise of bodily resurrection.
• Incarnational and sacramental worldview: Christianity holds that God works through matter (Incarnation, sacraments). Relics are instruments or vehicles of grace; any miracle or benefit comes from God alone, not an inherent power in the object. St. Thomas Aquinas described them as “organs of the Holy Spirit.”
• Communion of saints and intercession: Relics make present the saint who intercedes in heaven. Honoring the relic honors the saint as a model and friend of God, which leads to greater adoration of God. St. Jerome wrote: “We do not worship relics… but we venerate the relics of the martyrs in order the better to adore him whose martyrs they are.”

@ThePChris 2000yrs is not 20yrs, it will last till christ comes

[Raymond Ejike @Raymondbuzor]

@Vitus_osst The bride of christ doesn't need defence. She endured 2000yrs she will survive 5000 more years
