The collection of books we know as the New Testament emerged in the late second century, A.D. The church leaders accepted books they believed were based on eyewitness accounts of the events narrated, while rejecting many other early Christian writings. Eventually, the 27 books which form the present New Testament, along with the Old Testament books, became the Christian Bible as we know it today. The New Testament canon was only formally adopted by the Synod of Carthage in 397 A.D.
So why are you making it sound as if they authored and collected the books together all in 397 AD?

Oga.
Which xtian leaders did the acceptance?At what Council? When?Specific answers will help us arrive at truth.
Consider that each book was written as a single doc in diff places,times. Many Apostles & their succesors never saw/read most of these writings.Paul's letters were written to different communities. Most had no access to that of others.
Names of persons/places wil help

And to think many good people still worship in that Church worries me a lot.
The first picture shows Pope John Paul II, bowing and kneeling before a statue of Mary. Isn't kneeling and bowing an act of worship?
The second is an image of the Catholic Monstrance and the third is an early picture of sun worship in Egypt. Look at the image of the sun in both pictures. If
this is not paganism, I wonder what it is.

Oga keep your ignorance to yourself.
If we agree that kneeling and bowing amount to worship,then all those who kneel or bow before their elders,pastors,parents,kings,father-in-laws,judges etc are also involved in worship. Do you accept this?

How does the look alike of the Monstrance and your picture of early sun worship make yhem similar?
Are both of same substance?
Is their any similarity in the theology behind both?
The monstrance can be made in any shape not neccesarily the one in your pix, do other shapes and designs also make it look like egyptian early sun worship?

It is painful when slow minds attempt to ridicule with shallow points,what geniuses like Augustine of Hippo,Thomas Aquinas Francis of Assisi already confirmed and affirmed to be true,correct with the deepest of scholarship

Unity in darkness? Never! I thank God for the lives of those who first protested.

"By their fruits,you shall know tnem"
Martin Luther and Calvin were peers and soulmates when they started protestantism. After a few years,they disagreed on doctrine,protested against each other and Calvin moved and started his own church. Later,many Calvinists & Lutherans protested against heir leaders,made own bible interpretations and founded own churches.
Today,there are tens of thousands of protestant churches teaching different at times contradicting doctrines

God bless you OP. As for those idolatrous generation (Catholics), they can keep on worshipping Ashtoreth whom the Bible called, "Queen of Heaven"- Jeremiah 7:18, 44:15-23. Let them Christianize this goddess as Mary to deceive the unlearned. How can Mary who's dead and waiting in the grave for the resurrection intercede for the living? Are the dead conscious of anything? (ECC. 9:5, PSALM 6:5, PSALM 115:17). How can Mary be in heaven when Jesus says, "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven?"- JOHN 3:13. Apostle Peter confirms it also in ACTS 2:34, "For David did not ascend into the heavens...". So, how can anyone say Mary is in heaven interceding for the living? This belief crashes like an earthquake in the light of the scriptures! The fact is that, all those supposed apparitions of Mary are actually satanic, yes! 2 Corinthians 11:14 attest to it, "And no wonder! For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light". Blind guides leading the blind!!!

This could only have been written by a retarded mind!
If heaven is where God is,would the Queen of that Heaven be Ashtoreth? Would a demon be in God's court?
Clearly like most protestants/penticostals,you have not read about the queen crowned with 12 Stars(cf Rev 12)who gave birth to the Child who saved the world. Kindly read Rev 12 and revert to me

Pentecostal/Protestant hypocrisal teaching claim that Mary and others are in the grave but when Idahosa died,they asserted that 'Idahosa has gone to be with the Lord' 'Anayo Iloputaife has transited to glory' etc. Let me ask oo.. Does the soul stay in the grave even for one second or is it the carcass that's usually buried?

How does a sane mind quote an OT(pre Jesus' ressurection )text to prove that all christians(post Jesus' resurrection)are still in grave? Does the scripture not say that Jesus liberated such grave-held persons at His death? Did Jesus not tell the 'good thief' on the cross '..this day you willl be with me in paradise' Is grave paradise or Jesus didn't fulfill this promise or only the 'good thief' is in paradise since 2000yrs?

My dear,your points are empty and shallow. Your bible quotes are irrelevant and out of context. Your conclusions are baseless,unfounded and not supported by any authority (biblical or theologial)

All marian apparitions certified by the CC are proven beyond every reasonable doubt. Unlike those who rush to celebrate unproven miracles,the CC is known to be painstaking and intrusive in its investigations.It also has the greatest colllection of human arsenals to unravel any truth of faith(theologians,bible scholars,exorcists etc)

Stop your lies! New Testament was never made like a textbook in 397 AD. All the books in the Testament had been written in the First Century AD and not some 4th Century collections. Those who collected the books can worship Mary all they want, it doesn't dispute the fact that the entire Bible is in contrast to that.

You live in denial!
Yes,All the books were written in 1st century. Were these books part of the Bible in the 1st century?
When Mark wrote his gospel account,did he include it in the Bible? How?
How and when did Paul's epistles become the Bible?
The books of NT were individual writings which were not in the scripture until the Church Fathers agreed to canonize a NT.
Facts exist on who,where,when & how this was done. That you are ignorant of this does not change anything. It only makes you a Liar.

Another woman would have been chosen. Jesus would still have come! The woman's lineage could be from anywhere, but the husband MUST be from the House of David.

God forces no one to any assignment. He always gives us options to either say yes, or no. But because God is God, and unchangeable as He is, and will always be, whatever He sets out to do must ALWAYS be accomplished.

Any of His creations can, and will be used in furtherance of His work. If man refuses to present himself for service, (even stones will cry out............)

This is one of those falsehoods taught by shallow self taught Christian teachers. God already choose Mary from the earliest of times. It couldn't have been any other person. She was created for her purpose

Having read the teachings of the greatest Christian leaders of the early church on this topic, I don't care about the falsehood being peddled by this poster.
Since the Wise Men who gathered at Carthage and made
the New Testament in 397 AD were also known to venerate Mary and always sought Her intercession, those who accept their decree on NT must also accept the Marian intercession or else it will amount to hypocrisy

Christian belief are balanced only when reason and faith align.
Read 'FIDES ET RATIO' by Pope John Paul II and see sound reasons for the Christian Faith.
SOLA SCRIPTURA IS A CHRISTIAN DOCTRINAL ERROR

so ppl still dey come here eh?

I strongly believe that no one should be unemployed or underemployed.
I believe that the best way out of this is for one to create the job by oneself.
There are several jobs you can create in this environment.
E.g an accountant can target small and medium businesses and set up
an accounting system for them and regularly update the books for a fee.
A young accountant who successfully wins 100 of such SMEs(this should
not be difficult)and charges them a fee of between N2,000 and N10,000 monthly
depending on the size of the small business will be better paid than being
employed in most of our companies.
I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PATH OF EMPLOYMENT BY CREATING A JOB
FOR MYSELF IN A STOCKBROKING FIRM.I HAVE EARNED ABOUT N1.5MILLION
THIS YEAR FROM THIS JOB.

The feared crash is not going to happen.The market is only experiencing some corrections.
Stakeholders have been meeting to stem the slide and firm up things.Causes of the recent
prices meltdown have been identified and neccesary actions taken.In coming weeks,i expect
a gradual rise in prices.Though one will admit that some investors' confidence have been shattered
and will take time to be rebuilt,the market will always create wealth for investors who know what
to do at this point.
Buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying.
Buy low and sell high.
Infact, buying now is a great thing to do.Afterall life is all about risk, but well calculated risk

Thanks Texas.Let me see what action is there

Is Rep. Chuma Nzeribe a Crook and Killer?       
Written by Jonathan Elendu     
Tuesday, 19 February 2008 
  Soon after we published our first story on the killing of Barnabas and Amaka Blessing (Abgal) Igwe, we were given the contact number of Chuma Nzeribe, a prominent member of the House of Representative representing Ihiala Federal Constituency, whose name featured in our story. We exchanged text messages with the federal law maker and eventually spoke with him on the phone.   
During our chat with Chuma Nzeribe he threatened to sue us and also promised to give us an interview. We assured Chuma Nzeribe that he was within his rights to seek a legal redress for any harm he may have suffered by virtue of our reports. After this conversation with us, Nzeribe stopped taking our calls. Elendureports.com silently continued to investigate the death of the Igwes and we have published a few reports and more are to come. In the course of our investigations we stumbled on more reports and documents concerning the dramatis personae.  Part of the document cache in our possession concern Rep. Chuma Nzeribe. These include his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form and accompanying documents. We are also in possession of resolutions passed by the Anambra State House of Assembly concerning Rep. Nzeribe.

The PDP nomination form for Fed. House of Representatives filled and signed by Nzeribe Chukwumaeze Marcellinus on the 9th of December 2002 declares that the signatory graduated from Christ the King School, Aba in 1971, Holy Ghost Juniorate, Ihiala, in 1974 and Boys High School, Ihiala, in 1976. The document also declares that Chuma Nzeribe graduated from Institute of Commerce, Civitavecchia, Italy, in 1982. According to the form, Nzeribe possesses a First School Leaving Certificate, West African School Certificate, General Certificate of Education, A Level, and Higher National Diploma, HND in accounting. Subsequently, Nzeribe served his National Youth Service Corps with the firm of Olaseni Lawal & Co., Lagos in 1984. 

Curiously, Nzeribe did not attach his West African Examinations Council (WAEC) certificate to the documents that accompanied his PDP form. Rather, he attached his A Level certificate which shows that he recorded one subject: Economics. His score for this subject is: E. Our investigations show that the reason Nzeribe did not attach a School Certificate is because he does not have it. According to our investigations, the 1976 WAEC result of Boys High School, Ihiala, was seized. So, how did Chuma Nzeribe gain admission into a school in Italy? There are allegations that he may have used a forged result to gain admission into the school. Elendureports.com has tried to contact the Italian school. Our searches on google and other search engines did not pull up any information on the school. Also, our search of Nzeribe’s WAEC result is yet to bear fruits.   

The certificate from the school in Italy is another curious document. According to the document in our possession, Nzeribe was enrolled at the Italian school from 1981 to 1982. In Nzeribe’s House of Representatives PDP nomination form, he swore to an oath before a Commissioner for Oaths at Federal High Court, Abuja that he was enrolled at Institute of Commerce from April 1980 to July 1982. If Chuma Nzeribe obtained admission from the school in Italy with his one paper A Level, was that enough to bypass the Ordinary National Diploma (OND) program and go straight to the Higher National Diploma (HND) program?

Other questions arising from Nzeribe’s PDP nomination papers include: What documents did Chuma Nzeribe present to the National Youth Service Corps to qualify him for service? If he presented the same documents in our possession, did somebody not question the veracity of his HND qualification given that he spent one year at the Italian school? Elendureports.com have been unable to get any response from NYSC even after one week of going to their offices daily.

It would appear, according to documents in our possession, that Chuma Nzeribe has encountered challenges with the law several times and yet curiously escaped its wrath. A document written and signed by E.I. Okafor of Public Prosecutions office in Anambra State had directed that Chuma Nzeribe be arraigned for illegal possession of arms and ammunition. The letter, which was addressed to the Commissioner of Police and dated Nov. 17th, 2003 said: “…in the course of investigation recovered inter alia the undermentioned (sic) items in the house and premises of Chief Chuma Nzeribe at Umudike Village, Uzoakwa Ihiala.” It listed the items recovered as: a) 31 rounds of live 9mm ammunitions, b) 12 rounds of AK 47 live ammunitions, c) 31 live rounds of cartridges. 

Okafor’s letter also stated: “The said Chuma Nzeribe was not duly authorized to posses the ammunitions. Sequel to that you are directed to arraign the said Chief Chuma Nzeribe for unlawful possession of the above stated ammunition before Chief Magistrate Court, Ihiala. The charge is punishable under s.3(1) of the Robbery and Firearms (special provision) Act, Cap.358, vol.22, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 as amended by Act No.62 of 1999.” To the best of our knowledge, these charges were never pursued by the police. 

Three years earlier, the Anambra State House of Assembly had through Resolution No. 95 directed Gov. Chinwoke Mbadinuju to exclude Chuma Nzeribe and one Fort Dike from his cabinet. That same year, a petition written by one Ifeanyi Ibegbu of the Anambra State House of Assembly accused Chuma Nzeribe of shooting somebody to death. “In that incident, Mr. Nzeribe had led a squad of brigands employed by the Onitsha Traders Association (OTA), invaded the Inland Town Section of the town and murdered these youth (sic). During that operation, Mr. Nzeribe himself was personally responsible for killing one person with a pistol, the license for which is doubtful to say the lest (sic).”

The general feeling of politicians in Anambra State and Abuja is that Chuma Nzeribe has been shielded from the law by politicians and law enforcement agents who may have benefited from his activities. They point to his relationship with the Uba brothers. One politician in Awka wondered how Nzeribe could have escaped the wrath of the law after the abduction of Gov. Chris Ngige. “Everybody knows the role Chuma played in the abduction of Gov. Ngige, yet because of Christian and Andy Uba he was walking the streets freely and throwing his weight about.” There are indications too that Nzeribe may have benefited with a very top female police officer.

Rep. Chuma Nzeribe declined to be interviewed on the phone for this story and would not give us a date for a face to face interview. He did not respond to our text message.
