Foreign AffairsRe: It Is An Insult To Call Obama Black by carmelily: 1:55pm On Oct 17, 2008
There are different angles to this issue you've brought up. I'm glad you brought it up. But i think it's stuck in the way of the world to call mulattos black now. I don't see it changing anytime soon. Some weeks back, i googled "one drop of blood". My discovery shocked me. one-drop rule? ha.
Foreign AffairsRe: Not Photoshopped! - The Real Mccain by carmelily(op): 1:46pm On Oct 17, 2008
McCain was trying to walk around the desk to shake Bob Schieffer's hand. He started by following Obama to stage right (Obama's side), but Schieffer went to stage left. They did a little indecision jig, at the end of which McCain made the funny face, then both McCain and Schieffer went stage left.

Like i said, every man to his own. i have not told anybody not to like them. 9ce is ok and i have his album. Gongo aso has been my ringtone for 7 months now. but we have to be honest and straightforward. Asa isn't original and 9ce needs to improve sound quality. Too noisy.

Thank you very much. You are quite right. That's why i said 9ce passes the originality test but sound quality is still substandard. Asa fails on every hand!

Go and listen to Blu Cantrell, Nelly Furtado and Norah Jones then you may have an idea of what to really think of ASA. Like i said, 9ce is better, even if substandard. At least, he's more original. I've never wanted to be a musician and i'm successful in my own field so why would i hate their success? i'm happy for them but i call a spade a spade.

I hope David's answers to your questions aptly point out how silly i've been trying to tell you they are. The phrasing of those questions are bizarre at best. Questions 15 and 16 are cases in point. simply pointless.

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=74061.msg2952890#msg2952890 date=1224194764]1) I know I answered your questions, it may not be what you wanted, but you received an answer nonetheless,[/quote]what was the answer again? i never asked you any question! i'm beginning to worry for you.


2) You may be new to this board, but the questions that were posted by David and co have been asked over a million times, and they have been answered. That's the problem that we have. There are people here who don't want answers, all they want to do is start strife. It's not the first time seeing those questions from the same people, the problem is you came in without knowing the history of this topic of Catholicism.
All those questions have been answered, those people just recycle them a million times over. Maybe I ignored a few because they have already been answered before, time and time again.
was this number 2 meant for me?

Also the facts that you pointed about RCC are very[b] wrong[/b], they're your misconceptions and nothing else. If you knew the truth or understood the teaching, you won't have those misconceptions.
What exactly are these wrong facts? Catholic priests' pedophilia? the Vatican's active involvement in wars and racism? priests' celibacy? please be specific about my "wrong facts". And when you say "wrong facts" it's a contradiction in terms.

First of all I thought your only issue was about the Pope and so I stuck to that, and talked about it.
Haba.

Because Christ founded one church (body of Christ). Not several different bodies, he also willed unity. Unity in heart, unity in belief. [/b]There is only one Church on this earth that can prove that it was founded by Christ, and that has the unity in belief and heart, and that's the RCC.
where do RCC charismatics fit into this "unity in belief"?

I think the problem here is that you think that the RCC is a denomination It is not. [b]The only denomination out there are everybody else.
I won't attempt to deprive you of your delusions grin

The Church was not founded to be divided or to be in denominations. There is no need for Christ to be a member of the RCC, he is the RCC.
Gee! Christ was Roman?? Get serious.

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=74061.msg2952890#msg2952890 date=1224194764]If you are not a Christian, then you are not a follower of Christ. The first place the apostles and disciples or the Church were first called Christians was in Antioch: Acts 11: 26 "and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians."
Unless you disagree with the passage above, you are Christian.[/quote]Did the Early Church refer to itself as "christian"? Did the word "christian" have the connotations it does today back then? connotations like a fragmented body of people with wildly different beliefs professing the name "Christian"? Do your RCC beliefs and those of the Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, Deeper Lifers and Anglicans match? Yet y'all claim to be Christians. I don't believe in the doctrines you guys propagate and yet i should join you in using that label? what kind of confusion is that? It's either all of y'all denominations are wrong or ONLY one is right. simple.The question then is which one walks in Christ's footsteps?
By the way, if Christ is RCC why weren't the apostles referred to as RCCians? while we're on it, did Christ have a BIBLE? What version?


even the church back then was very organised.
i am yet to make up my mind on whether to be amazed or amused by this comment. you do not recognise the difference between "organised religion" as in orderly religion and "Organised Religion" as in the world's major faiths?? I honestly hope it was my blunder in not capitalizing the initials that threw u off o.

If you want to ask me questions about the belief of the RCC, then by all means go ahead.[/b] I would actually like to answer your questions and reason with you without distractions from many others. Maybe that was the problem, there were too many distractions, too many people posting things, and when I formulated my questions it was general.
Thought you said i already asked? anyway, maybe i'll take you up on that offer someday grin

Point of correction you never pointed out FACTS, you pointed out OPINIONS.
opinions like pedophilia, warmongering etc? I must be pretty influential to get world media and even the pope himself to accept my "opinions" as "facts".

Now if you really want to have a discussion about RCC in a mature manner, I am willing to engage in that discussion with you
what have you been doing all along?

@~Lady~
we're back to square one. I don't know why you miss the point. I'm saying you NEVER "answered" OUR own "questions" (you're the one calling them that). We make undisputable claims about RCC and the next thing we see are your 101 questions phrased from your RCC viewpoint. Frankly, how does answering all of your questions clear the facts we pointed out about the RCC? I repeated the isues you avoided in my last post and your inevitable reply is still "The one Christ gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven to". is that the only area you dispute: pope's legitimacy?. In fact, you were the one who brought up this "keys, keys, keys" thing at all. And it's taken you over. You sound like a broken record.

Please go read your post from yesterday then repeat that you never singled me out to answer your pointless questions.

Also, you've taken great pains to show that Christ's church will never peter out (forgive the pun). But how does that prove the RCC is Christ's church? If Jesus were here today, would he be a Roman Catholic? Or even a "christian" for that matter? I don't believe so for certain reasons which i've pointed out and which you are yet to address (even though i don't need further info on them)

Right from my response to your first post directed at me, i've said i find the "christian" label dubious and i don't ascribe it to myself , even though i respect the wishes of people who choose to. Jesus wasn't a "christian" and i prefer to follow Him and His teachings rather than any "organised religion". That has been my standpoint from the start. You can go and check. The Protestants and Pentecostals you allude to subtly in your last post are not any less guilty than the RCC in drifting away from Christ's teaching. This thread is not for issues relating to those "denominations" and i've stuck to the issue at hand: the RCC. Check my postings on other threads and you'll see my opinions on them.

I've not even hinted that you or anyone else should leave the RCC. It's not my business where anyone worships. whatever makes u happy, do it. I just pointed out FACTS which you can take or leave.

Shalom smiley

IslamRe: Which Muslim Artiste Do You Love Listening To Their Nasheeds by carmelily: 2:51pm On Oct 15, 2008
Stevens first real memory of Islam took place when he had left for Morocco, to get away, think, and write songs. He heard singing unlike that he had ever heard before. When he asked what it was, -- the Aḏān, a ritual call for prayer by the muezzin of a mosque, --he was told "that is music for God". Stevens said, "I thought, music for God? I’d never heard that before – I’d heard of music for money, music for fame, music for personal power, but music for God!"
The use of musical instruments other than the voice and the drum is an area of debate in Muslim jurisprudence, considered harām by some, and this is the primary reason he gave for retreating from the pop spotlight.

But you always seek me out grin OK, why do you insist that i be the one to answer your questions? please go back and read through my posts and tell me why you are asking me to answer for issues i never contested with u. whether your opinions on them are right or not. i didn't and still don't know your opinions on them. only thing on your list i talked about was your "keys to the kingdom" obsession. You explained that. touche! cheesy Even though it doesn't answer how come Peter's the first POPE, does ROCK translate into POPE? or the election of the Pope by cardinals, the Pope being God incarnate, the regalia, the involvement in politics and wars and racism all that. How does Peter meaning Rock explain all these? Those were the issues I raised. Your solve-all answer is "God gave Peter the keys" You ignore other issues i raised and believe you've answered all "our" questions by proving the existence of the "keys to the kingdom"

I don't know where you are going with this, but read my posts and tell me where my assertions tally with your questions and i will be glad to answer.
