PoliticsThe Bravest Recorded Act Of Valour In Most Recent Military Times By A So Far by blackbriar(op): 2:04pm On Apr 27, 2017
On 17 March 2016, senior lieutenant Alexander Prokhorenko of the Russian Spetsnaz was surrounded by the ISIS terrorists. He called in an airstrike on his coordinates and took out about 50 terrorists with himself.

Sr. Lt. Prokhorenko was performing the task behind the enemy lines in Palmyra, Syria of designating the vital targets for airstrikes. After a week of staying hidden, he was spotted by the ISIS terrorists who tried to capture him. For the entire day he was evading them. He called for an extraction that was sent from the Russian base, but it would take 15 minutes for them to reach him. Not having more ammunition to resist and knowing he would endanger the extraction party, he called his CO and demanded to cancel the extraction and deliver an airstrike on his coordinates

Here is the radio communication transcript with Alexander’s last words:
[b]Prokhorenko: Command, I am surrounded, I am surrounded again.
Command: Please repeat and confirm.
Prokhorenko: They have spotted me, they are shooting everywhere, I am pinned, requesting evacuation immediately.
Command: Evacuation request acknowledged.
Prokhorenko: Please hurry, I am low on ammo, they are coming from everywhere, I can't hold them for too long, please hurry.
Command: Evacuation is coming, hold them off, keep returning fire, go to safe position. Air support is on its way, give your coordinates.
Prokhorenko gives the coordinates.
Command repeats the coordinates: Confirm.
Prokhorenko: Confirmed, please hurry, I am low on ammo, they are surrounding me, bastards.
Command: 12 minutes until evacuation, return to cover, I repeat, return to cover.
Prokhorenko: They are close, I am surrounded, this may be the end, tell my family I love them.
Command: Return to green line, keep returning fire, help is on the way, wait for air support.
Prokhorenko: Negative, I am surrounded, there are so many of these bastards.
Command: 10 minutes, return to green line.
Prokhorenko: I can't, they have surrounded me and are closing in, please hurry.
Command: Move to green line, repeat, move to green line.
Prokhorenko: They are coming, conduct the airstrike now, please hurry, this is the end, tell my family I love them and I died fighting for my country.
Command: Negative, return to green line.
Prokhorenko: I can't, command, I am surrounded, they are coming, I don’t want them to take me. Conduct the airstrike, they will make a mockery of me and the uniform. I want to die with dignity and take all these bastards with me. Fulfill my last wish, conduct the airstrike, they will kill me either way.
Command: Please confirm your request
Prokhorenko: They are here, this is the end commander, thank you. Tell my family and my country I love them, tell them I was brave and I fought until I could no longer. Please take care of my family, avenge my death. Good bye commander, tell my family I love them.
Command doesn't respond, orders the airstrike.[/b]
PoliticsWhy Is Hand To Hand Combat Not Valued By The Military? by blackbriar(op): 7:21pm On Apr 26, 2017
There is a russian joke about the subject, that for a soldier to apply the knowledge of unarmed combat on the battlefield:

He needs to lose his unit.
He needs to lose his firearm.
He needs to lose his knife.
He needs to lose his spade, his belt, his armour, his helmet, and everything else he could use as a makeshift weapon.
He needs to find himself on a plain open area without any rock, wooden stick, metal shard or anything alike.
He needs to meet there another useless idiot like himself.
And only after all these conditions are met they can finally engage in a fair and square hand-to-hand.

Christianity EtcRe: Were The Early Christians Roman Catholics? by blackbriar: 3:00pm On Apr 26, 2017
easymancfc:
The Early Church fathers were Catholic in their beliefs... the Councils you mentioned were called by either the Pope or a Christian leader through the Pope...
They didn't have different beliefs either, that's why councils were called to define a belief binding on the universal church and condemn all heresy and heresy promulgators contrary to the Universal Christian belief

Council of Nicea... Called against Arianism (that Jesus is subordinate to the father).. the divinity of Jesus was defined here.. the Catholic deacon Athanasius who later became Bishop of Alexandria defend that belief...

Council of Hippo (393).... for scripture canon attended by Catholics like St Augustine among others

Council of Carthage (397) for scripture canon again which contains the deuterocanonical books to confirm hippo

Council of Ephesus (431) .... was called against nestoranism (belief that Jesus has separate human and separate divine nature).. the theotokos (Mother of God) doctrine was defined here because Jesus is God, and the Council was held in Ephesus because Mary lived there after Jesus's death

Council of Chalcedon (451).. against marcionism.. which says Christ has only one nature.. The doctrine of hypostasis was defined here...

MAYBE "ROMAN CATHOLIC" MAY BE A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW... THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NOT JUST ROMAN, THERE ARE ALSO BYZANTINE CATHOLICS, ARMENIAN CATHOLICS ,
COPTIC CATHOLICS , ETHIOPIAN CATHOLICS , EAST SYRIAN CATHOLICS (CHALDEAN), WEST SYRIAN CATHOLICS

A DISCIPLE OF THE APOSTLE JOHN (IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH) WAS CREDITED WITH THE FIRST KNOWN USED OF THE GREEK WORD TO DESCRIBE THE CHURCH..
Ignatius of Antioch in about 107AD on his way to Rome to be killed for his faith.. used the Greek word katholikos (καθολικός),
meaning "universal", "complete" and "whole" to describe the church, writing:
"Wherever the bishop appears,
there let the people be; as
wherever Jesus Christ is, there
is the Catholic Church. It is not
lawful to baptize or give
communion without the
consent of the bishop. On the
other hand, whatever has his
approval is pleasing to God.
Thus, whatever is done will be
safe and valid. — Letter to the
Smyrnaeans 8, J.R. Willis translation.
"
It is from the word katholikos ("according to the whole"wink that the word catholic comes.
When Ignatius wrote the Letter to the
Smyrnaeans in about the year 107 and used the word catholic , he used it as if it were a word already in use to describe the Church.

The word ROMAN CATHOLIC is a derogatory term used by the protestants on the LATIN CHURCH,THE largest of the CATHOLIC CHURCH

DoctorAlien:
The apocryphal books were not canon before 397 A.D. going by concensus of use. And since the catholic church only gathered in the council of Carthage simply to recognize as canon those books which were already canon by concensus of use, we know then that the apocryphal books were not even thought of in that council.

I know. I know. I know how the catholic church can manufacture forged documents as evidence to support their lies. So, don't even bother showing me any evidence of the council of Carthage listing the apocryphal books as canon.
What do you mean by "you know the church can manufacture forged documents",you guys are just anti-catholic fanatics.
Have you ever worked with the church in any means( diocesan or vatican) and they gave you forged documents? Have you?Going by your argument that means the Bible is a forged document . Is it?

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God(KJV).
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.(NIV)

If it is by catholic doctrine you are right, infact I have thought like that before but by the bible see my submission;

If you need indulgence it means you are not under blood and there is no way your sins can be remitted or taken away.
Anybody who continued to sin, it mean the love of the Father is not in him, he is by and large a child of the devil, by so you don't need your sins to be forgiven nor indulgence because you don't see anything wrong in them.

If pope has power to give you indulgence then you will have larger % of the member do whatever they need on the next papal mass you receive indulgence, then you don't need Christ. Pope will not be there when you are committing the said sin, so if you have more dependent of pope it is another form of idolatry. If you know that right there in your bedroom/market/heart etc Christ is there watching you, you will be very afraid to do anyhow talk more of intentional sin. Just like you cannot do anyhow before your fearful/lovable earthly father. That is how Holy Ghost works with believer.


Just like the way we think when we were small, "Let us finished and go to confession". And when we finish priest will give us say 3 hail Mary that is all, while some rev fr will warn you. But that act of confession to priest cannot remit your sins.
Many charismatic don't go to confession because they know it is anti-bible.
Like I said ,indulgence isn't for forgiveness of sins,the sacrament of penance is

Ibori $15 bribe to Malam Ribadu was seized by the federal government and lodge in the Central Bank and the Delta state government is laying claim to the money.

Now, Ameachi $43 million naira being alleged that was found in Ikoyi and seized by EFCC and lodged in the Central Bank and the Rivers state government is laying claim to the money.

History seems to be repeating itself.

But why is Governor Ameachi keeping silence on all this allegation against him.

If this allegation is proven to be true, then Ameachi could be kicked out of the Buhari Administration and prosecuted for money laundering.

That huge amount can fix our epileptic power sector but one greedy rat kept that money all for himself probably waiting for 2019 to be used in contesting election.
He is keeping quiet so that he can tear a big hole in all dis allegations,first una say na muazu house,dat d md nnpc brings cash there,which the oocupants of that apartment have agreed to her sightints, d md quickly refuted d claims tru her lawyers and threatened to release sms from top govt officials(nobody see dis one discuss), then wike says its apc stunt,dat d cash aint real, den same wike says its amechis loot then lere says its amechi loots that he used to buy a floor for his babe......pls which is the truth

Objectively speaking, Wike cannot prove the money belongs to Amaechi and Rivers unless Amaechi himself makes this admission.

But if it is true that the NIA claimed ownership they can easily prove it.

Who owns the apartment may be irrelevant. NIA can rent accommodation from wherever.

If however, the NIA owns the money, what sort of operations were they running that require 43 million USD at a go?

Nothing in this saga adds up

We are very much aware that their is nothing like indulgences(this is what rome( St Benedictine) used to reap the whole world of their money because they want to build St Peter church, had Martin Luther not started shouting a different world Rome would have created).

To bolt you to man(bishops,pope), they will tell you it is only them that can give it, so that anything they will tell you to do you will do to have it.

After a certain time a bishop came and our rev fr told us that bishop has release indulgence because we build our church house in less than a year or so and everybody was so happy that if anybody dies now straight to heaven. Can you imagine such a deception!

If I may use your word,indulgence happens only when you come under the blood of Jesus through repentance and correct water baptisms and He confirm that you have indulgence by giving you Holy Ghost, any sin you commit hereafter you pay for it because those whom He love He chastises.

A sin is either forgiven or not, you are not going to suffer for any sin forgiven anywhere except you mean God is harboring un-forgiveness.
Indulgence isn't forgiveness of sins,that the sacrament of penance,Indulgence is for punishment meant to be received for continous sinful acts after penance has been granted.
