Devotion to the Black Nazarene “True Faith or Idolatry?“

[Maikeru]

I'm a Catholic but I really don't like this kind of practice.. It's better if they live according to what the gospel of that day teaches than do that.

I agree with you bro! This is one form of Religious Fanaticism!

im a catholic, but this part i say: this people lack the knowledge in living the way of life Jesus intended for them; or they are just unable/ not willing to do so, so they patch it up with this tradition. i have to say this,even if im a catholic, its total BS! (i hope someone who practices that tradition read this) you don't have to do such idiotic feat! you can live as a catholic and do things which please God more other than that way.

but i love and respect Jesus.

the black nazarene could have prevented atong mga tawo nga namatay sa stampede sauna... but he didn't...
ergo....

JESUS could have prevented his apostles from being martyred.

JESUS could have prevented himself from dying because of his love.

undescribable,unfathomed mystery.


we cannot read God's mind.

[gabstafari]

even the church did not teach that way.

people are people

church is not practicing martial law.

God has given us freewill.

but people are still people.

there you go again kit with your cheap reasoning with God.

JESUS could have prevented his apostles from being martyred.
JESUS could have prevented himself from dying because of his love.
undescribable,unfathomed mystery.
we cannot read God's mind.

we never will,
but people criticize people
and people are people, and i still think they are "dumb" on their faith.

Can't we be just like this little child?

The Black Nazarene is just like a toy for most adults but powerful toy indeed!

that is not cheap reasoning... that is logic...

dumb people are people who believe so blindly... dumb people walk in the dark not looking into their pockets realizing they have flashlights to see "the way and the truth"...
